Comments: Today we met a bicyclist by the name of Garland--gregarious to the point of obnoxiousness, he exclaimed "I'm 65 and I know everyone out here" and proceeded to tell us that only one person grew upset with him the entire time he's cycled on the Parkway--the person noticed him sitting on the bench at the mile 19 rest stop and called him "weird"--Garland related that while he'd been tempted to challenge the person in question to a 20-mile bike ride, he didn't and instead waved him off. After introducing ourselves, he waved and exclaimed, "out here, everyone is 'Hey you'". With that we parted ways amicably. A real character--shoulder length bright-white hair, dark complexion, extremely fit, and very, very extroverted. Dawn and I ran nine miles today--well, eight miles, and then walked the last one mile due to physical nausea. At the turn-around point (mile 15.5) we discovered the Soil Born Farms irrigation pump. They've installed a Flexcon Industries Global Water Solutions 119-gallon (450L) Challenger Outdoor storage tank (PC366FR), a cycle-stop valve, and a 25HP, 230V, 65A Baldor Reliance Industrial motor (model JMM2531T, $2,200) from Berkeley Pumps. It seemed idle at around six-PSI. The sign at the pump stated it helped water around 20 acres of crops at their American River farm. Leaving the irrigation pump, we noted our split time of 1:12 and headed back. After walking the last mile and cooling our legs in the water at the Bridge Street boat ramp, we listened as several fishermen shared fishing secrets. One of them had caught a few salmon, which as I thought later, might have represented an illegal act, given the low salmon runs this year. According to the Department of Fish and Game, it seems to be, but I'm not current on these matters. After running, we stopped by the Sunflower Nutburger Stand in Fair Oaks and gorged on great local food.
