Northern California Surfing

I went for a little bike ride Saturday south and east through the farmlands of Solano County. I scarcely had gone a mile when, on the opposite side of the road, astride a muddy irrigation ditch, I saw a large silver Toyota pickup, with one person outside of the vehicle. When I passed the truck, I looked behind at it and was rather startled to see the truck towing something resembling a bodyboard, the college-aged guy in shorts perched on top of it, moving at a steady modest speed though the mud of the irrigation ditch.

I guess if you can’t get to the ocean, you have to improvise.
