Took a little bicycle ride south out of Petaluma yesterday. A year ago, we got some fun new bicycle paths. Slowly and steadily, Petaluma is becoming a bicycle friendly town.
As weird as the sky looked yesterday, at least the air was breathable. The next day, however, it was not and there was no bicycle riding to be done. Fire season is getting rougher every year.
Was surprised to paddle back into the Turning Basin to find a live music concert going on! This is on the new dock recently installed for the Floathouse which will be a new place to rent boats to get onto the water. It's been a long process but especially now that the river is getting dredged, we can see that the new Floathouse is going to be up and running in the near future.
Dredging of the Petaluma River has finally begun! It's been 17 years since the last dredging and our normal boat traffic in and out to downtown was severely restricted. The River is the heart and soul of Petaluma and so it will be good to return to a full access situation for all those that like to be on the water.
Couldn't help myself. Had to go check out the dredging equipment even as they had only just begun to set it up.
