April 16 - Rise and Set


Up by 8am -- bidding John, Elena, and Claire a fond goodbye --


and riding that


lonesome


trail


homeward


on


210,


desperately seeking


Susan


and


Steve,


(the latter via greater Pasadena,


the


Verdugo


Mountains


and


Tujunga area,


up


and


down


Weldon


and


Gavin


Canyons),


magically


scaling the


Violin Grade,


to Paradise (Ranch),


views of distant


Piru


Gorge,


Cherry Canyon,


Pyramid Lake,


Hungry


and


Peace


Valleys,


the narrow confines of


Gorman,


Tejon


Pass,


Castac,


and


the


borders


of


the 


heroic


Grapevine,


then


plummeting


downward


to


the Central Valley,


via 99 for a


bit of variety


(hmm...),


a few stops,


distant Coast Range and


Sierra views,


Sacramento,


the familiar 80 corridor,


and home to Harriet, getting word of Marek and Maricar in Grants Pass at the cusp of a question, and preparing pdf of Poems on Crane: III.
