Morning's activities --
Pdf of ninth Embedded Invention (Op. 20),
Eleventh movement of The Little Prince video edited,
Page 10 of Psalm 64 composed, and
Page 45 of The Countess Cathleen orchestrated --
before
heading
to
the
Sierra,
up
50
along
the
South
Fork
of
the
American
River,
past
Lover's
Leap
and
Pyramid Canyon to
Echo Summit,
then down the
Grade
to
South
Lake Tahoe,
running into
heavy traffic
at
Camp Richardson,
which semi-clears for the ascent of the
Cascade /
Emerald Bay Moraine,
taking in the sights (including the
seasonal
fall near Eagle Falls and
Canyon,
and
Fannette
Island),
then water views through Rubicon and
Meeks Bays,
Tahoma, and
Homewood to the last leg of the
Truckee River Bike Trail,
from
Rampart
to
Fanny
Bridge,
via
the
Twin
Twin Crags
Bridges
and
Gatekeeper
Park.
So it's done. The walk from the California Coast to Lake Tahoe. On to the Nevada border, if possible in the once-a-week hikes ahead.
Meanwhile,
after
a
bit
of
refreshment,
it's back in the car
north on 89,
west on
80 in
snow visibly
less than last week,
lingering
over
the
views
at
Emigrant Gap,
then descending again to the sun's anvil of the
Sacramento Valley, and
homeward in the semi-cool.
