However, I want to thank you on supporting and exploring that wonderful city of LA. I find it utterly refreshing that there is a group of people who truly love the city, its history, its people, and wild places. What a beautiful place it is! And those staircases are portals to wilderness within the surrounding concrete. Looking forward to your book. And the next time I am in LA we will walk some stairs together...dirtmongerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764867892426257306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088382655965294916.post-45981494524261741742013-11-13T15:36:03.209-08:002013-11-13T15:36:03.209-08:00Well it is great that you got in so many of our st...Well it is great that you got in so many of our stairs and I am sorry I missed you. As I told Snorkel, when I finish my book in a month the end section treats the idea of cross city recreational walking in LA and I want to mention your achievement. Good pix part 1 &2 both. Nice to read your observations vis a vie what you expected to find from living here in the past. Stairs ahead!

I think there is something there: neon lit, bustling city to the utter tranquility and harshness of Death Valley, lowest to the highest, and many more. I think you could find 'sense of place.' It is something intangible that is palpable at the sametime. It is everywhere at all times.<br /><br />Thankx for following Chinchilla! I really enjoyed reading yours and Pyrite's CDT journal. What a great team you both make!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088382655965294916.post-1822374902809981222013-11-03T07:54:40.227-08:002013-11-03T07:54:40.227-08:00We drove back via way of Vegas.

Could you get the same rooted sense of place? Catching up on your writings now that I'm off trail-ChinchillaKithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17386251900455915730noreply@blogger.com
