April 27 - Into the Sky Again


A quick trip,


but an excellent one.


Glad to have spent such a nice time with Bette and George, participate in the concert,


and be heading home.


Rental car well-petrolled


(eventually)


and


methodically


returned,


off


into


the


gray


and


eventual blue,


transfer in surprisingly colorful Detroit


while a


tense riot of color tragically transpires televisionly in Baltimore,



previously more known more Southeastern Pennsylvanianly for its "Pike" than precarious police posturing...


Off we go again -- full on with an amusing safety message and


in-flight positioning --


over


Michigan,


Illinois,


Iowa,


Nebraska,


Wyoming,


Colorado,


Utah (Green River,


Wasatch Front and


Valley,


Sevier


Lake),


Nevada,


to


California


(Sierra Nevada,


Clouds Rest,


Half Dome,


Yosemite Valley,


Bridalveil Fall,


Merced River Canyon,


San Joaquin Valley,


Coast Ranges,


Calaveras Reservoir,


Mission Peak,


San Francisco Bay,


Dumbarton Bridge,


Foster City,


Skyline Gap,


San Mateo).  



Hallelujah!
