The longest walk on
Tassajara Ridge Trail,
from
Longleaf
Northeast
Trailhead,
upcanyon
in
shadow
and
sun,
north
past
stolid
cattle,
up
to
views
of
Hidden
Valley
on
a
brisk
24th day of fall
(high
down
2
to
62 [.01 additional precip, 1.90 since July 1]--
Pleasant Hill,
63;
San Ramon, 58),
ending
up
at
Bend Peak,
with views all around, including Sunol, San Ramon, Windemere, Las Trampas, Daugherty, Monarch, Black Hawk, and Altamont Ridges; Maguire Peaks; Mt. Diablo; and Alamo Creek Canyon.
Time to
reverse course
towards point of origin --
some cows
still seemingly immoble
on
the
last
downhill.
Before this,
the
scenic
way
to
school,
and
Review Session I for the Music Historians (Ancient Greece - First Delphic Hymn, Italy - Trotto, Josquin des Pres - Scaramella).
Directly
following...
a
leisurely
return,
on
680,
with
errands, and
time to do a second page of the new edition for Symphony No. 1 ("It Wasn't Classical…"), Op. 61 (1998): I. Allegro con brio...
