September 16 - Beyond All Barriers


After 21st-Century Music work, pdf of Missa Calfornia: Sanctus (page 3), and detail-edits of Triple Concerto: III (40) and The Decameron - Second Day: VI (pages 10-12) --


out the door with Harriet,


leisurely Sierra-bound,


ascending the foothills,


into the


high


country


and


stopping


at


Donner


Summit


for


a


looksee


on


a


path


associated


with


the


Pacitic


Crest


Trail


(a welcome re-visit


after so many years).


Next


downslope,


and up


and over


into the


Tahoe Basin,


ascending again on 431 to


the


Meadows,


for another charming walk -- adjacent to Moraine Ridge,


volcanic knolls,


Slide


Mountain, and


Rose Ridge --


looping


around


to


cross Ophir Creek,


returning past


weather-slain


pines,


to the lower


boardwalks


and point


of origin.


Finally,


surmount


the Rosicrucian summit,


winding down to Bowl Road, taking a third jaunt, now along the road from here


to


Washoe Lake


View.


Beyond more views of Mt. Rose and


Reno Valley


along precipitous slopes and


extensive


inclines,


we reward


ouselves in


the early


evening,

adjacent to monumental whatever,


at a charming Mediterranean spot, cuisinianly tilted toward


the east,


returning in the


dead of night to compose pages 5 and 6 of DSD: IX.
