I’ll sit out the holiday weekend in the Yakima Valley, enjoying the bounty of peaches, pears, corn, tomatoes, melons, and an infinite supply of other good just-picked foods. Not to mention wines and beers. It’s a dramatic change of scenery, too, something I can use.<\/p>\n
From there my destination is the Reno Air Races. Now, I know nothing about the races, but it’s been on my list of things to do for a long, long time. I do know that the culture of the event is very different from that of Burning Man. Technically, I could attend BM and then go to Reno for the races, but the differences in those cultures would be quite a jarring experience; from hippies to Gucci, from zero commercialism to intense marketing. If I knew what the races were, maybe I’d be able to handle it, but I didn’t want to take the chance this year. Maybe next year I’ll do both.<\/p>\n
My route takes me to Sacramento before Reno. I’ll be watching carefully the fire situation and have built in some time for wise course changes.<\/p>\n
As usual, it’s very tough leaving family, friends, and the scenery. It’s been an excellent summer in the best place I know. But, also as usual, my head will turn to what’s in front of me, the new places and experiences until I return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
