All the typical tasks of the day-- pdf of Missa California: Credo (page 4), detail-edit of Triple Concerto: III (33) and The Decameron - Second Day: V (19-20), some communiques on Facebook -- and off to the Sierra (first time since the top of Mt. Rose, six weeks ago), with the telephoto at hand,
past Auburn Ravine and
Gold Run,
beyond Castle Ridge and
Donner Canyon,
through
Martis
Valley,
into
the
Tahoe Basin to
Nevada,
then
upslope on 431
amidst
the
Meadows,
over the Summit and down to the
Ski Area.
From here,
walk downslope
(or more
precisely,
bike downslope
and walk
back up
to four
sequentially lower
parking spots)
in the
brisk,
dramatic
half-
light
to
below
8000
feet --
adjacent to
bouldery slopes,
aspen
and
Slide
Bowl
Road,
then back in the car for the circuit through Reno and home.
