Comments:
Drove up to Lake Sonoma mid day, loaded our boat at the boat ramp, and rowed the half mile to the campground. Hands were already very blistered as we'd rowed Si and his supplies into camp on Thursday and rowed back to the boat ramp. Plus, on Friday we also rowed out to meet Peter and his girls and to row them into camp. Friday night, I also paddled to meet Alex and Kim Kaz and bring them into camp, so there was lots of kayak paddling, kayak peddling, stand-up paddle-boarding, and row boating all weekend long. The sheer act of carrying the endless supplies of the 24 campers up and down the steep bank at camp was also exhausting. There was also the unexpected rowing trip Saturday night when I took two random, stranded jet skiers back to the boat ramp after their vessel broke down.

When I went to get Peter and Vina, I squeezed in a little run up the access road for about a mile and a half and back down. Despite the fact that the road is all uphill, it was mid afternoon on a 100 degree day, and I'd been exercising all day, I felt decent enough and would have been tempted to get to the top of the mountain road had I not needed to return to the boat ramp to help them pack and row into camp. (I was probably less than half a mile from the summit when I turned back.) 13:30 up- the hill and 11:20 down it. (24:51 total) Good thing I did. By the time I was back at the boat ramp, I was hurting and heavy legged and wishing for water. Later that evening I also ran (with a smidge of walking) for 6 minutes to get to cell phone reception at the top of the hill above camp in order to call Kim (and ran back down too.) I'm adding those runs into the total mileage below. I have spent so much time pulling burs from my legs and socks and shoes this weekend...
