Wake up at John's to uncharacteristic muted tones,
but high spirits nonetheless,
to White Rabbit
for
coffee,
then
on-the-rise
($4.91 / gal)
petrol
and
various
nefarious
supplies
locally,
before veering up Bryant
and
down Mill Canyon,
up
Tennessee
Road,
north
and
east
via
210
to
Waterman
Canyon,
past
The
Arrowhead,
then
the
splendiferous
pull
up
and over at Crestline,
down
to
the
scene of more crimes at
Cleghorn Road and the crossing of the
Mojave River --
from there,
walking
within
sight of
Silverwood Lake
back
to
yesterday's
bend
in
the
road
at
the
foot
of
Summit
Valley,
then
the
long
and exceedingly joyous return, fine dinner, and wondrous meeting of minds, sending imaginations to new heights...
