California, Here We Come!
For our next month-at-a-time adventure, Esther and I have selected three locations that exemplify the scenic bounty, recreational rewards, and cultural, historical, and scientific significance of the Golden State.
Month: July 2016
The Jewel of the Sierra
Six weeks ago, we blasted off in a fictional interplanetary spacecraft, without leaving the comforts of home. This week, with our rocket fuel all but spent, we coasted on to spectacular Saturn, the last stop in our journey.
The Big Bonanza
Nestled in the Virginia Range above Reno, the small old-west town of Virginia City, Nevada is the “birthplace” of Mark Twain, origin of the psychedelic “San Francisco Sound”, and the site of the Comstock Lode, known around here as the Big Bonanza.
Reno’s Fraternal Twin
When I was born, the doctor took one look at my face, turned me over and said, “Look, twins!” (Rodney Dangerfield)
