This week just nine Geezers (Loren, Merrill, Wayne, Clark, Beuford, Vello, Larry, Bill and Roland), met at the Safeway parking on Sierra College in preparation for our drive to Fairy Falls. Before we departed, we learned that one of our fearless leaders, John Hebner was absent and sitting in the Kaiser emergency room with his wife Janel. With caps removed, these nine men bowed their heads and brought Janel before the Lord. As we started blogging in August, 2010, this would be a good time to remind all our readers that the Geezer Boyz are a group of Christian men from Sunrise Community Church in Fair Oaks, California. Although we have many individual differences, one fact binds us together, we are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and as such, you will find many of these men working diligently around the church on a regular weekly basis in a variety of ministries. At the time of writing this blog, Janel is home and John will be monitoring her condition daily..
It was great to have Bill with us this week and Clark returned for his second week. Fairy Falls is located on the east side of Beal Air Force Base (Marysville area) and the hike was just under six miles in length. This was a very easy hike and correctly rated by John as "fairly easy". We were able to take in some wonderful scenery as we had time "to smell the roses" if you know what I mean! Although the wild flowers are late this year, everything else appeared to be very green. If you're not familiar with Fairy Falls, you get there by taking country roads north of Lincoln to the Camp Far West reservoir, around the reservoir, then on a dirt (but well graded) road a few miles to the trail head.
I'm pleased to inform all the Geezers that Larry really does take good photos and many have been included in this weeks blog.
