Probably the second-to-last California-to-Nevada walk of the season,
up the I-80 corridor again,
past Gold
Run,
Bear Valley,
then down
the incredible
Truckee
Canyon,
into Nevada, south on 395,
to the
upper part of
Lower Whites Creek Trail,
heading downslope,
south
and
north
of
the
gallery forest,
onto
the
open plateau,
then
into
the
ever-
deepening/
widening
declivity,
aspen
ablaze
in
color,
to
Mountain Ranch Road.
Back in the car, dinner,
drive back,
up the Truckee River cleavage in the sunset --
to compose page 6 of Communist Manifesto over turbulent
videos, on the 207th day of summer, high 84.
