May 30 - Pointing to the Future


OK!  After doing final grading for the Music History class,


here


we


go,


up


into


the


high


country


on


80,


over


the


Sierra,


down


Truckee


River


Canyon,


past


Florrisant


and


Farad,


into


Nevada,


across


Reno


Valley,


drawing


ever


closer


to


the


Huffaker


Hills,


for a walkabout in


view of Mt. Rose, Slide Mountain, and the Virginia Range.


 From


here,


tool


about 


on



the


eastern


side


of



the basin, recapitulating the route of a number of walks on the Pacific-to-Sparks (NV) course,


then


jump


on


395


south,


to


spend


the 



fantastic


night in Carson City....

80th day of summer, high up 5 to 96 (tying w/ May 18 as the hottest of the year -- 27 days 80+, 8 90-or-beyond), 87 in Reno, 82 to the south...
