APRIL 7 and 8, 2020: A WALK DOWN "HIGHWAY 36," AND DRAGONS NORTH (and a Zen sunset at home)

South of Kalabara Cave is a trail marked by a highway sign as "36." It used to be a 2-track road, but now is impassable except by foot. I have been told that putting up such signs officially counts as "highway maintenance" for purposes of obtaining federal grants. So, the little trail will likely continue to be marked as Highway 36 as long as federal funds are available for such.

The following day, we hiked to Dragons North, which gave one of the best shows we have seen down there this year.

And also, a nice, Zen sunset, as seen just across Beach Road from my apartment (and office).

A bit longer than most of my videos (I try to keep 'em under 3 minutes, but this one is a bit over 5), but there was lots of action to see -- and the slow mo section is quite cool, too!

  • This was actually taken the evening of April 7 (so, after the Highway 36 walk but before the Dragons North photos in this gallery). But, I thought it best to end the gallery with a Zen sunset (from just across the road from my home). <br />

Please be safe, be happy, and be healthy.
