November 28 - All Similes and Metaphors


With John at White Rabbit,


then,



after dropping him off


and


detouring for


supplies --


onward,


initially


on



10


to


Clarement


to



look


over


the


campuses,


then


across


the Valleys on 210,


134


(Verdugo Mountains,


Los Angeles,


Hollywood Hills,



101,

 
and


405


to


5...


up


Weldon


and


down


Gavin


(past the


Cliffs),


across


Santa


Clarita,


ascending


via


Violin


Canyon


to


the


undulations


of


the


Ridge


Route:


Pyramid Lake,


Liebre Canyon,


Black Mountain,


Hungry


and


Peace


Valleys,


Burnt


Yucca,


Gorman


Ridge


and


Valley,


over


Tejon Pass to


Frazier


Park for a


supply


stop and a



Mexican


repast.


From


here,


Lebec


Road,


winding


parallel


along


the


freeway


to


Fort


Tejon,


runaway


plummiting


down


the


narrows


of


Grapevine


Canyon


towards


the


San


Joaquin


Valley,


right


on


South


Wheeler


Ridge,


connecting


to


Bear


Mountain


Boulevard,


ascending


among


foothills


and


canyons,


in


view


of


oaks


forlorn


and


majestic,


towards


Bakersfield


National


Cemetary


and


the


lonely


junction


of


58


at


Bena


Road,


zig-zagging


gradually


downward


to


the


intersection


of


Cal


Bodfish,


further


adventures


adjacent


to


the


numerous


canyons,


through


Caliente,


past Tollhouse Ranch and


Cliffs,


The


Y,


dizzyingly


surmounting


Oiler


Ridge,


descending


into


shadowy


Walker


Basin,


forking


past


the


extensive


Rankin


realm,


Cowboy Memorial,


Piute Fire Station,


to


Twin


Oaks,


overlooking


the


School and Giant, left at Handy's Corner and Back Canyon


back to Steve, Michele, and Carol.  Whew!  High 57 north -- 53 / 41  Calimesa / Twin Oaks...
