February 5 - Road Trip


41st


Inner


Coast


Range North Walk,


with Harriet,


parking, by permission,


behind the Road Trip Bar and Grill, where we'll end up after --


past a


cat house,


then West on 16,


just


north


of


Lamb Valley


Ridge,


pretty much to Capay's western border,


with tantalizing views northwest up the valley,


anticipating walks to come,


on hopefully fairer weather days. 


Back


east


on


the


red-brick


road,


checking out the Grill,


splitting a steak sandwich and taking in the views,


exteriorly


to


the


Ridge, and


interiorly (a terribly important sports event for many, being broadcast on several screens). 


33rd day of spring, high again 60 (likewise 59 in Capay), just about dodging the rain (.32 more, 28.92 since 7/1), which comes down in earnest as we re-enter the vehicle, homeward to compose
