Sunday Ride

Dear Diary
No one joined me at Mundaring Dome today.
A chilly 13 degrees as I headed down into the valley at Mundaring Weir. A quick stop and a chat with myself about the Weir’s role in providing the Goldfields and Agricultural land with potable water and off to Churchman Brook Dam. Churchman was low level as expected, the sun was shining so all was well.
On to Canning Dam, which had me confused with conflicting No Entry signs but I forged ahead to view the dam wall.
Wungong Dam was the next but the entrance boom gate was closed so a quick U turn was executed and back onto the Highway heading to Serpentine Pipehead Dam. Low twenties temp. and sunshine added to the quiet ambience of the Dam, so peaceful in these troubled times.
Serpentine Dam (Main Dam) is a regular stop, but today I didn't stop but rode across the wall on route to North Dandalup Dam which was to be my lunch stop. So I pulled into the bbq area below the dam wall at approximately 13:00 and cooked a sausage sizzle. I had the beautiful area to myself, very relaxing.
The journey home took me north on the SWHIGHWAY, turning left at Keysbrook on Elliot Rd. Hopeland, etc Kargotich and the GEH had me heading for home.
Bugger, alcohol has been a help, but it is rapidly losing its efficacy to cope with the hallucinations and withdrawal symptoms!
Not sure what day of the current debacle we're up to. Stay safe all.
With abject apologies to pspencer for the plagiarism!
