January 1 - The Way Ahead


Who knows what's up the road, going ever on, continuing from markalburger2018.blogspot.com... Well, in this specific case, we do -- sorta -- it's California 16 northwest in Yolo / Capay Valley, approaching Cache Creek Canyon,



having celebrated overnight at charming Rumsey House with


wonderful Harriet.


But the details are always surprising and unknown,


beginning with moonset


and


sunrise


over


Blue


Ridge,


finishing


up


an


inspection of the


property,


sharing a delicious breakfast with Camilla Barry and company


(prepared by her son and his girlfriend),


and


getting


ready


to


depart


for


points


beyond,


first goal of which


is to


drive


to the end of


Rumsey Canyon


Road,


then


reverse and


on to the most northwesterly open area


of


Capay


Valley,


and


forward


into


Cache


Creek


Canyon,


winding


below


Blue


Ridge


and


Glascock


Mountain,


into


Colusa County,


up


Bear Creek


alongside


Cortina


and


Telegraph Ridges


to


Cowboy Camp and the


Junction of


20.


From here,


take this latter


northwest into


Antelope


Valley


and


down


Salt Creek Canyon,


the world opening up as views of the Cascades, Mt. Lassen, Sierra Nevada, Sutter Buttes,


and


Sacramento


Valley


to


Williams. 


5 south to


Yolo again and Dunnigan,


505:


Zamora


Hills,


the


environs


of


Esparto,


Winters,


back


into


Solano


and


on


homeward...


1st day of spring,


high 57,


locally and in Williams (Rumsey, 51).
