Wednesday across the dusty valley of Cali drought, over the hill trying to be prudent with the load and pavement through Gerlach to Wall Spring in the Spring…

Souvenir lumber from three years of Linda’s “Structural Alternatives” class destined to be shelving;

A night home alone with nary a dog in sight and Thursday back down…Espil’s, bottom of the desert, Sand Pass RR crossing and an abandoned singlewide in California’s Sand People Zone;

After Hallelujah Junction, battered old Highway 70 to Sierra Valley…hinting at snow flurries, some of 80 wet, snow melting  on Donner and home by lunch with the usual insane valley traffic; glad it’s almost the last time for awhile…
