Happy Birthday to Harriet! --
one day early,
actually,
commandeering a cake earlier, and,
before this,
taking the 46th Inner Coast Range North Walk,
which turns out to
correspond with
Esparto's
Almond

Repark and continue
walking on to the
intersection of
81;
then, back in the roadster, run the gauntlet through the waning crowds homeward,
diverting on a south / east angled course recapitulating the walks thus far, on 85B, 22, 23, 86A, 25,
87, 26,
the
ever-
eventful
orchardy
88,
29A,
89, 128, and
505.
