I got to Huckabay’s and had a short visit with him and Lisa.<\/p>\n

He’s done a lot with the land since I was there last.<\/p>\n

Mount Shasta overlooks the 20 acre Juniper Woods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They had prepared Geronimo, my tiny house, but I had to make Salt Lake City so could not stay over. I’ll come up on a separate trip and do a proper visit.\u00a0My apologies to Scott and Lisa for getting behind schedule.<\/p>\n

….and food<\/p>\n

\"IMG_5657\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve put in a solar well, and Scott has done the rest with solar and wind.<\/p>\n

The whole place lights up at night with these stand alone solar lights. You can see Juniper Woods from space!<\/p>\n

Scott’s music is linked on previous pages. It is the theme music for my trip Play those links I’ll post more here<\/p>\n

Synesthesia<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/daverand.com\/ride\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/10-Synesthesia.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Scott is a world renown solo guitarists, he’s opened for Aerosmith, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Rate, Tony Childs, and travels the world playing for private affairs.<\/p>\n

Like most talented musicians he can play anything, and learn it instantly. This is the old piano on Geronimo’s from porch.<\/p>\n

Lisa is also a pianist, together they make beautiful music.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_5699\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u00a0was sad to leave such a beautiful place. \u00a0Felt cliche to say that the Road was calling, but it was. I powered on finally heading East.<\/p>\n

McCloud\u00a0CA, \u00a0it seem like a small herd of zombie rednecks began moving towards me while I was pumping gas, wandering away from the swimming hole. I had time to fill the tank get my helmet on, check the nav, and pick some music before they were on me.<\/p>\n

I’m sure they are nice folks, and it was just my imagination.<\/p>\n

GoPro, WENT<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I rode off on the a very straight road with very straight trees and thundered up to high country on rt 89 out of McCloud California and then onto rt 36, miles of tundra. That’s where my Gopro went, flying off the bike while I was screaming across the plain. I saw it hit and roll, I did not have it fastened. I stupidly had it in what I thought was a wind safe zone under my jacket and against the tank. Serves me right. \u00a0My mom gave me the middle name Anthony after the saint that helps you find things. I used to say to her:<\/p>\n

…”Yeah because you knew I’d be a loser”.<\/p>\n

Well I’m not very religious but for a GoPro Hero 3+ I gave it up to the heavens and the man I’m named after. He’d decide wether to leave it in the tundra or not. At one point I had the great idea to search for it using the wifi controller because it links to the camera when it’s close. For three hours I was pacing up and down the shoulder, in the ditch, and then in the field beyond. I was studying the debris field from other cast items\u00a0for weight, size, and aero dynamic qualities I discover various bands of debris. Cans made it about 10 feet from the small country highway, paper farther, hubcaps in-between….and GoPro’s?? Who the fuck knows…. so I rolled on realizing I was once again in problem solving mode while\u00a0on vacation. \u00a0St Anthony is on my shit list for a while, but I’m thinking he’s got something in store for me, as gods and demons do. Meanwhile there’s always a new GoPro, I mean why stop spending now??? when I’m on such a roll !!<\/p>\n

One day one of the Zombies will find it and trie to eat it. I rolled on.<\/p>\n

I’ve realized after drowning my sorrows in this horrendous steak…<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…that what St Anthony wants is for me to buy the new GoPro Hero 4 Black edition.<\/p>\n

Bedded down in Susanville Ca. \u00a0More tomorrow. Off to Reno then Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
