January 6 - Ayes Wide
Awake at the Brownings to a panorama of sun and
sky,
extending from the San Bernardinos to Jacinto --
we
head
through
Yucaipa
and
down
to
Redlands
for
breakfast at McDuff's,
then
back
on the road
up
the
slopes
of
the
aforesaid, plus
Calimesa and
Cherry Valley
to
continue
the
personal-Pacific-Crest-Trail
route on the
southern slopes of
Oak Glen Road
from the
Wildwood Canyon /
Little San Gorgonio River Divide
down to the former's namesake avenue,
then further to the Riverside
County
border,
past
an
extensive
Ranch,
varied
vegetation,
and
the
Edward-Dean Museum to
the
bend
that
begins
Beaumont.
Dinner at
Jose's
(albondigas soup and
Mexican coffee)
then
back
to
John's,
and, after his teaching gig,
out late to a spot in
Redlands, and returning to the homestead, refreshed yet ready to retire.
