A lucky morning with Harriet, composing page 13 of Psalm 102 and At a Medical Deposition --
161st day of summer,
high 91 (69th of 90+),
out the door circuitously to the Sierra,
still smoky from the Rim Fire,
particularly
in
and
out
of the
North Tahoe Basin,
up the slope to the Meadows,
over Mt. Rose Summit,
downslope to
just above Galena Creek Regional Park,
to Whites Creek
Trailhead,
walking
downslope
in
luminosity
just
just
above
the
Canyon,
for
a
final
rendezvous with the car at
Timberline Junction.
Scout out the
Lower Whites Creek
Trailhead,
then head down to a
break at
Starbucks,
after which,
further
down to
395,
with
a
striking
sunset
all
the
way to
80 and a
late return.
