The SNRR Crossing

On May 26, I wrote that the day before I had gone swimming in Lake Natomas near Nimbus Dam on the way to our hotel in Rancho Cordova. We got up at 7:45 and I found that an old college roommate who lived nearby suggested I visit. So, we packed up and rode over the pedestrian crossing at highway 50 through White Rock community park and onward to his place.

He made us pancakes and coffee was good. He and his family live in a cute little house near the Jedidiah Bike Path. His kid has a lot of toys. The boys played with him outside. When we left the kids across the street we asked Hank to come out and play.

The boys lead the way to big Bend Park after we said goodbye. We got water at big Bend. When I got across the bridge, I lost one of the boys and we raced ahead to find him. Eventually, we found him at the next water station farther down the path. I was greatly relieved we had found him.

Later, the boys led the way again. We were running behind at that point but we stayed on the American RIver levees past Howe and onward to CSUS. There was no service to be found on campus so we continued over past the Expo Center and under the 160 highway crossing as well as the SNRR crossing. We also passed the Blue Diamond Plant. We had coffee at a coffee shop on seventh then right before boarding a train at 2:55. Everything turned out perfect. I noted that our next stop while I was writing was Richmond.

This is an occasional series chronicling my life. This Notebook Analysis series is meant to be contemporaneous piece developed as an agglomeration of my notebook pages. In each of these posts I used my notes to develop my recent thoughts.
