January 22 - Go, Go, Go
38th Inner Coast Range North Walk --
now having walked from Winters north on 89, west 29, zig-zagging 88, 26, 87, 25, 86A, 23, then backtracking 22 northeast to 85B...
today finishing this from Lamb Valley Slough,
in
view
of
various
ridges
(including Rocky, Blue, and Capay)
past
the
Canal,
the
intersection
of
19H...
and
extensive,
besotted
fields
and
orchards...
to
the
junction of
16 -- wow!
Beyond this, it will be plenteous strolls on the latter, perhaps up through Cache Creek Canyon, if the road and trails ever re-open.
Just
getting
to
the
site
today
a bit of a challenge,
as the road to Esparto is closed,
at least at the onset,
due
to
flooding,
necessitating
detours.
Afterwards, the passageway re-opens, barely,
to hydroplaning over the outflow,
on the soggy 19th day of spring (high for the third day in a row, 55; 57 in Southern Yolo), 1.35 additional wetness, total 26.22 since the rainfall year began on the first of July.
