June 26 - Ever Onward
Edit fourth movement of The Little Prince video as a discrete file, compose page 4 of Psalm 64, orchestrate 38 of The Countess Cathleen, and do pdf for the second of the Embedded Inventions (Op. 20) before launching into the Sierra, past South Yuba River Canyon,
Emigrant
Gap,
The Blue Canyon
Burn,
Yuba Gap
and
Pass,
Grouse Lakes Highlands,
Cisco
and
Big Bend
Buttes,
Castle Ridge,
Donner Pass, and
Granite Chief Ridge on I-80,
then south on 89 under the Little Chief and
Bullshead Cliffs to
Fir Crags
Bridge, walking on the
Truckee
River
Bike Trail
from there
to
Thunder
Cliffs
Footbridge,
and
Rampart --
business
enclave,
Bridge,
and
environs
(all part of the Pacific-Coast-to-Nevada series of connecting hikes).
Back in the car, there will be one more stroll to Lake Tahoe, so might as well check it out, and might as well after that proceed beyond the appropriately so-called Fanny Bridge
(they're all looking down at the trout in the hatchery, evidently)
along
the
shores of the
montaine
agua to the
cozy
spectacular nook of
Emerald Bay with
Fannette Island, flanked by
Maggies and Jakes Peaks, and
Eagle Canyon
and Falls.
Past seasonal falls
and
the heroic morraine separating this inlet from Cascade Lake,
the light dims below
Mt Tallac and a
supply stop,
then lingers long enough to make it up
Echo -
Flagpole Peak
Ridge,
over
the
summit, and down into the
Pyramid Creek /
Lover's Leap
granites before giving out for the day.
