Ventana Wilderness

negative at home test

       So, the Mayor needed a vacation from the world.  Where to go? Go off the grid is a good start, and was done, for a week, here in California, aka The Left Coast. To gather at an undisclosed location, the Mayor needed a negative Covid test(see above). A good start. Then the old pickup was loaded with various necessities to make the transition from electrified Tahoma to unelectrified country beyond the grid. Yes, there are a few places in the Golden State w/o electricity/internet connections(California is BIG!).

       Have you heard of the Ventana Wilderness? I have. It's not too far from civilization, but far enough to get easily lost. It's rugged; it's dry, dry, dry; it burns(see Sobranes Fire details); and there's very few humans anywhere close by. Ahhhh, the quiet, the sought after break; the rethinking, the sobering tranquility, and the pristine beauty. How lovely; how rare!
