Can't tell you how much I wish that containment scheme had worked.


Denver city government did exactly that maybe 5-6 years ago to reclaim City Park from the thousands of geeze residing there year-round. (Your geese really like Colorado.)

Had to get a special dispensation from the Federal goverment to cull them. Gave the meat to various shelters. Mixed public sentiment, of course. But by then, many Coloradans had had it with their goose neighbors, so more support than you might think.

I hadn't heard that goose story. I'll take a gander at it later...

After the morning rain there was a brief clearing, So, I got in an hour ride, a few loops around the posh Woodside neighborhoods. I did put on my SKS speed rocker rear fender, but misplaced part of the front fender. Also the Speed Terra 45 tires did very well on the wet pavement and leaves and gravel with leaves. But I keep the speed down in all the twisties.

Yesterday's ride included some quality time around nearby Bataquitos Lagoon.

This large tidal lagoon (background) is the drowned mouth of San Marcos Creek, a major drainage on San Diego County's west slope. Now it's part of a huge nature preserve on the boundary between south Carlsbad and north Encinitas.

Three major transportation lines cross the lagoon within a mile or so of the ocean. From top to bottom, the San Diego Freeway (I-5), the Los Angeles-San Diego rail corridor, and the Coast Highway (US Hwy 101). The last is the only way across by bike.

Freeway looking ESE with the lagoon on the other side.

The very busy Los Angeles-San Diego rail bridge carries commuter trains, AmTrak trains to LA and beyond, and at night, lots of freight. More about the rail bridge shortly. The lagoon was showing a lot of sandy bottom at low tide.

Finally, the Coast Highway (aka US 101) crosses right at the lagoon's outlet at South Ponto Beach — a place I've shown here many times.

The century-old single-track wooden rail bridge (bottom right) has become something of a bottleneck for both rail traffic and tidal flushing of the lagoon.

A new concrete replacement with 2 tracks and better tidal flow is being built right alongside the old bridge. Looking E from the Coast Highway.

On the way home, stopped at a fancy lagoon overlook in a very posh neighborhood nearby.

The bushes have gotten a fancy new stylist since I was last here maybe 5-6 months ago.

Betting this interesting styling choice didn't just happen by accident.

Great pics mate, but the first one takes the cake!

Of all the souless utilitarian architecture of the modern world, bridges always get a pass from me, I love them even if they are tedious slabs of concrete, the beauty of the bespoke creativity to suspend them over natures whims always brings a smile to my face.

You would love the Merritt Parkway in CT. Every overpass along the route, from the NYS line to the middle of the state, is different.
