Ignoring the skinny, somewhat boorish cowboy, Patio Dog, where is Sonora Pass? Arizona? I like to talk to people who have had that experience. It is almost unbelievable to those who haven't been there.

Boorish? Nay...

Sonora Pass, through some crotch rocket aficionado's lens:

I've gotta stop picking out errors on the map of Emigrant Wilderness/Yosemite about 2/3 of the way down (where the hell are Cherry Lake and Lake Huckleberry? They're both bigger than Kibbie, which is on there, and which share drainage...).

It ain't no Chaco, though; the Mi-Wuk lived in tastefully biodegradable homes.

And I suspect dys is highly corrigible...

that was the coolest drive north out of Yosemite\Mariposa up to the interstate and over to Reno. We might have went the eastern route but we thought that would be to hard on the schoolbus.

Yeah, some of those roads are pretty iffy. Most years a couple of snowbirds in an overgrown RV will topple off of Highway 108 or 120.

A lot of fun to come down in neutral, though, tapping the brakes every now and then if the tires are squealing too loud.

Hey, the Dys-man can be corrigible indeed. He taught me what a crotch rocket it and what ape hangers are. He's a very cool guy, he and his speedy Norton.

Does that "speedy Norton" get rid of virus?

Diane, I don't write poetry. I recall, however, as a young boy being startled to look up at the night country sky and seeing the sky hovering lower over me.

Useta watch meteor showers from the big transmitter on Big Hill Road.

Or take the canoe and a cooler out to the "island" (or isthmus in dry years) in Cherry Lake at the end of Cottonwood Road. Throw some people in the back of the truck, take the fast and tight and respectfully, good times. Or build a bon fire at a developed campsite off of logging road 3NO1 on the way (the trees have since been felled and The Spot is now a dust pit), burn something and firewalk...

Sorry, ignore me, just missing the mountains...

Nice for the driver... wonderful for the driver. Sickypoo for the passenger...

Not at all. They loved it, the folks in back. Good folks like R and J and G would choose Iggy's rusty bed over any of the queasy, weezing VWs that'd be making the trip.

I'm good, I tell ya.

Datsun pickup. Reminded me of Iggy Pop. Small, ugly, 70s relic, couldn't break 75 on the freeway, but great on those steep mountain curves. Suspension like a sportscar, engine like a lawnmower.

I'll be back with notes from out last trip through New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. We have traveled through most of the spots Bob used to go to for backpacking. Backpacking is a thing of the past, but the scenery is still just as beautiful.

Later.

Dys and Diane would have stayed longer looking for Dys' backpack he lost thirty years ago, but they had to hurry back so Dys could install two memory cards in my computer.

I have memory again! Woo Hoo!

You know how people forget where they put their glasses? Well, I forgot where I put my teeth.
