El Niño is finally performing to predicted levels, which means nomads
are wise to consider hibernation in places free of mud slides, tornadoes
and flash floods. We're in the hills of Pasadena, California, where six
inches of rain fell yesterday afternoon, turning the canyons into rivers.
Today the sky is blue, and in the distance Catalina Island's two peaks break
the horizon. The storms may be violent here, but the pay-off is glorious.
While we're
relatively immobile, we're enjoying the opportunity to write and to plan
for the future. We'll share the results with you soon, a book and an exciting
new project.
Meanwhile,
RoadTrip AmericaT® is still on the move!
Even though we're temporarily based in Pasadena, we venture forth each
week to bring you new discoveries, trains
in Tehachapi, for example, and palm
oases in the Indian canyons of Palm Springs.
