Here
we
go
again,
first
down
the 80 corridor in early morning madness to
Oakland International,
then
up
above Diablo,
the Sierra Foothills,
Desolation Wilderness,
Lake Tahoe,
clouds parting again over the Great Salt Lake Desert,
Cedar /
Stansbury /
Oquirhh
Mountains,
Toelle and
Utah Valleys,
to the
Wasatch Front.
A
brief
respite
as
the
rays
recline,
then
eventually-
inevitably-
veritably
aloft again into the spectacular spectral showcase,
it's lights intense
over the
Jordan
River [!],
Antelope and
Fremont Islands,
the Promontory Range, Ben Lomond [!!], Mt. Ogden,
Weber Canyon,
Morgan, Trapper's Loop,
Pineview Reservoir, Brigham City out / back into the stratus et al,
illumined once more near a second touchdown in
Philadelphia,
for a late-night rendezvous with Bette and George. And goodbye 234th day of summer (high 77), hello highs of 61 and 55, respectively in the touchdown cities of Utah and Pennsylvania...
