With some of the filming
on location,
re-locate to the
University of California, Davis, for
2 walks re the
Pony Express Trail:
the first a near-experience,
parking by the mere swale of prehistoric Putah Creek -- now dammed and damned to both west and east
(the former diverting its at-times watery riches to a South Fork, the latter abruptly sliced off by the below-creek-level passage of Route 113) --
walking from the
intersection of Garrod and Campbell,
north on the
immediate aforesaid to
Mid-Barn.
Eventually,
back in the car,
in search the
Solano House Marker on the
bona-fide Pony Express (which, by the by, this far west, was only utilized on the days when the riders arrived in Sacramento after the steamboat left for San Francisco).
So (the red dot to right),
here goes (assume the course of the P.E. is correct,
but the Solano-Yolo border accurate, directly above),
first south across Putah Creek (or, rather its long pond-like vestige here) to the
Lodge (really a conference center, presently closed due to the pandemic);
then
northeast
on
South
Campus
Bike
Path;
brief
diversion
to
Old
Davis.
Voila!
Here
it
is,
in
the
UC
Davis
Arboretum.
From
here,
back
along
Putah
Creek,
via
the
South
American
Collection,
Further
adventures
driving
around
campus,
followed
by
the
inevitable
beeline
homeward
on the
94th day of summer,
high back up a tick to
99
(locally and in
Davis,
with Dixon at
95).
Return to
more work over the conclusion of
Metropolitan Opera production rebroadcast o'
John Adams's
elemental
Dr. Atomic (2005) --
boom!
