From the SF Bay Area and Canyon CA to Miracle Hot Springs in SoCal over the PCT south of Whitney, north to Wild Willy's Hot Springs east of the Sierras, then took the Tioga Road to Yosemite National Park to its East Entrance (but needed reservations to pass through, which cost $35, & to get back to the SF Bay), so headed back east then north to Travertine Hot Springs, From Travertine after soaking, headed back over the stellar Sonora pass, and found the amazing Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) again, this time at 9600+ feet :)

Ma, Dick, Pin, All,
Greetings to you, and I hope this finds you well. How are you doing? Here's more about Miracle Hot Springs in the Kern valley, as well as about Wild Willy's Crowly's hot springs and Travertine Hot Springs east of the Sierra mountains and potentially regarding virtual Harbin Hot Springs in a realistic virtual earth for history and genetics and soaking.
From the SF Bay Area and Canyon CA to Miracle Hot Springs in SoCal, over the Pacific Crest Trail south of Whitney, then north to Wild Willy's Hot Springs east of the Sierras, then took the Tioga Road up to Yosemite National Park to its East Entrance, but needed reservations to pass through to get back to the SF Bay (& which cost $35), so headed back east 11 miles to Hwy 395 again, then north to Travertine Hot Springs. From Travertine, after soaking, headed back over the stellar Sonora pass, and found right at the top, the amazing Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) with signs (which I couldn't find on Sat May 14, partly due to too much snow cover), this time, - at ~9600+ feet :)

Quite a trip on Saturday 6/4/22 and Sunday 6/5/22 traveling - circumnavigating all around Mt. Whitney at 14,505 feet and the high Sierras (from the SF Bay Area to the SF Bay Area), and may have caught a glimpse of Whitney from the southeast part of the eastern Sierra after turning off Hwy 178 & eventually onto Hwy 395.
Miracle Hot Springs on Saturday afternoon ~
Sequoia National Forest here, haven't seen Mt Whitney at 14,505 some feet, from the central valley maybe due to smog, but have internet access again, & may be 10 minutes from the hot springs. Am about to turn off the stellar road, for the past 15 -25 miles, onto the Miracle Springs road, after an initial 4 hours of driving through blah CA agricultural over industry lands ... Lovely evening too. How are you?
Scott
(Very early Sunday morning) ...
Very beautiful drive into these springs ... Through Golden but dry, dry mountain, Canyon landscapes, - what rocks & rock formations! ... Arrived at Hobo campground at Miracle Hot Springs, with nearby Kern river flowing briskly ... seemed better to soak potentially in the morning ... and maybe regarding exploring sharing it with you virtually, maybe:) I walked through some of the dirt potholed parking areas, with many people's vehicles parked right on the river, looking briefly for the hot springs pools along the side of the river ... Didn't find any, like those I had seen in pictures ... Maybe the river was so high that they were mostly submerged ... Hobo campground seems a bit low brow, on a Saturday night with a bunch of cars, but I didn't see alcohol openly and yet am a bit wary of scams ... Will camp close by up the road a mile away, and explore some pools in the morning:) Hoping you had a good day and week, Ma! I'll have my 'eyes peeled ' for the 14505 feet of Mt Whitney in the morning. Good to have gotten a good night's sleep last night in 'unsafe house' north of Berkeley, instead of heading out on F 6/3/23 around 8 pm after sending out the WUaS Minutes (
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/05/gazella-black-tailed-gazelle-in-china.html?m=0) ... May be able to open the back of my subcompact 2016 Prius c for sleeping, with a great view, and for stretching out too :) Hoping you have a good Sunday
'
Am camped up a high bluff over a roaring little Kern river in a California dry canyon valley on Kern canyon road, in the Sequoia National Forest, a land of many uses. The night sky is incredible, so light filled with myriad speckles, stars of varying intensity, fields of milk droplets, with familiar constellations shining out ... The big dipper, Orion's belt ... Across the valley is the main road, with an occasional car. No houses or other buildings to be seen. The new sleeping board, a 2' x 4' x .5" plywood sheet, under an inflatable Thermarest camping pad, is great! My head and shoulders can now rest on support instead of falling into the gap behind the passenger seat, and with the back hatch of the vehicle open, my feet can stick out a little newly (with no more torquing of knees, and even when back hatch will be closed, I've gained another 1.5 feet of sleeping space under my head and shoulders with the plywood board, and with a doubled over pillow on it, it's good:) & am appreciating the fresh air of this little sleeping berth too. Am glad to have an internet signal on the high perch with a great view down-canyon and up-sky, and in this sleeping time, while writing on my smartphone. Not a lightning Ethnographic description of Miracle Hot Springs yet, but a little vignette of some traveling to a springs in the California world of Sequoia National Forest without any Sequoias yet ... I'll have my eyes open for the Pacific Crest Trail ahead today, which part I may have hiked on in 1980 :) Sending love, 
Scott
At Miracle Hot Springs in the Hobo campground (which could have been a happening place in the 1960s and '70s, a focus of my academic research),
I looked in the early morning around 7am along the Kern river and among all the camping vans for the pools, but couldn't find any. Could the water be too high? I had read too that there's a Uranium mine about a mile away, and with the river flowing high, I finally found one largish stone enclosed pool at river's edge, put my fingers in the water, which wasn't warm, and so decided to head on to Lone Pine CA, east of the Sierra mountains, where I had stopped in 1980 when seeking to get my hiking boots resoled, while hiking the PCT.
In driving to Lone Pine, I crossed the Pacific Crest Trail on Hwy 178, excited, and was reminded of the 400-500 miles I had hiked from Mexico North to about here in 1980 (https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/pct/home/?cid=stelprdb5304733), hitchhiking around a stretch in the Mojave desert and Death Valley, so as to be able to hike the John Muir Trail in the high Sierra just when the snow had melted at 8,000 to 11,000 feet. Am not sure whether I began hiking north from Hwy 178 or from another road just north of there in 1980.
Almost Tweeted with Picture of Hwy 178 & PCT in Google maps: Hiked the #PacificCrestTrail in 1980 from Mexico North, and crossed here in Kern valley Area south of Mt Whitney (~14,505 feet high) How to add this in 1980 in #wuAsVR? Just visiting #MiracleHotSprings in Kern valley too > Heading up the east side of Sierra mountains, maybe back to the SF Bay via #Yosemite :)
Lone Pine California in the eastern Sierra had more hitchhikers in 2022 than I've seen anywhere else in a long time ... And heading north and south and west into the Sierra mountains themselves. Interesting ... I had a quick look to see if I could find the park in Lone Pine CA where I had met in passing Randy in 1980 who had taken too much acid in 1973, but no luck ... Lone Pine CA, a little bigger than 42 years ago, is still a small western town in the desert with the beautiful Sierra mountains soaring above it to the west.
Drove north through Big Pine CA, and Bishop CA ... And stopped at Mammoth Gear Exchange with used camping gear seeking a roof rack for my bare roof 2016 Toyota Prius C that could do much (for Kayak, and thin Yakima roof container, or bicycle, or a wide and thin roof containers) including supporting a roof tent even - eg for kids' sleeping - which kind of also billows over the side of the car to the ground, possibly for shade and standing up, 2 of which I had newly seen in the Hobo campground at Miracle Hot Springs. As I continue to seek a life partner to begin a family with, I was also impressed with the number of attractive western outdoors' oriented 20-something yo women in this Mammoth Gear Exchange store on a Sunday midday. I was also looking for a tall man's touring bike with a 25" frame and 18 speeds that I could also add a Zap electric motor with throttle on handlebar for going uphill (which I had in the 1990s on my bike in SF and see the Zap electric motor here ScottMacLeod.com)... but asking about this, the Gear Exchange had neither bike nor Zap electric motor for bicycle journeys. It also did not have any roof racks. Am seeking a new Zap type bike motor even built into the back hub of a wheel made by NASA or similar so super light so that I could lift the whole bike easily into the rooftop of a car. And Consumer Report has just reviewed Electric Bikes including just one with a throttle (and see this here ScottMacLeod.com too).
In Bishop CA, in 1980, I had also found the resources, while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail on a 'shoestring' on $10 in each food box to get my hiking boots resoled ...
And texted Ed about this:
"Memories of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 1980 Ed. Bit of a deja Vu moment ... After hiking 300-400 miles of the PCT from Mexico North, I came down from the high Sierra mountains just before hiking the John Muir Trail... and getting $10 in every food box care of general delivery in the USPS (sent by a Reed College friend, which food boxes I had put together before the hike), it wasn't enough to resole hiking boots then. I thought I might be able to earn the money, and had found a shoe repair in Bishop or Lone Pine CA, Irv the cobbler, who could do it. So I started to look for ways to earn the $40 I had been quoted. Just now in 2022 I saw a big burly man in Overalls and a white T shirt, as I drove along Bishop's main street, and was reminded of the kind electrician, wearing similar, whom I had met in 1980 who gave me $40 to get my hiking boots resoled after I told him in a parking lot that I was hiking the PCT and needed to resole my hiking boots ... Kind of cool ... and maybe it's a pattern in Bishop too to wear overall dungarees and a white T shirt. Nice memory of a kindness shared ... Which I seek to do for others from time to time:)"
I headed north, and found gas at Fort Independence for $5.87 relatively inexpensive (compared with the $6 59 / gallon or more I had been seeing) - perhaps because it was on an Indian reservation (Paiute I think) and with a Casino in the same building as the gas station... A new Tax Free cannabis store had been put up just to the north of this ... interestingly.
As I drove farther north, and thought about driving back to the Bay Area through beautiful Yosemite valley, I caught a glimpse of Keough Hot Springs' sign, which I had read about a few days earlier here -
25 Best California Natural Hot Springs
10/19/2021 by DayTrippen
- and also about Wild Willy Crowly's hot springs. I searched in Google Maps for Wild Willy's Hot Springs and it was close, so I decided to head there and then possibly drive back through Yosemite to the SF Bay Area.
Wild Willy's Hot Springs was free and natural, and beautiful between the Sierra mountains to the west and another mountain range to the east in the middle of a plain without any buildings to be seen from the springs. (The National Forest Service helps manage this one too, like both Miracle Hot Springs and Travertine Hot Springs ... as Free Natural hot springs ... it's working out ... in a low key way and with other organizations too ... interesting after the 1960s and 70s, I speculate).
Getting a vibe from the somewhat full little Wild Willy's Hot Springs' parking area, with a lot of young people, families too, and with their kids, I walked out on the well constructed boardwalk toward the springs in this open plain. There were two pools, and a ~28-32 yo woman leaving as I got to the pools, smiled very broadly, happy after soaking, and said 'there's a hot and a warm pool'. As I got to these springs, almost all of the little natural pools had people in them. It was a little scene, almost but not quite too crowded. Were the springs clothing optional? I had a bathing suit in hand, and one woman of a couple in a central pool kept standing up bare breasted, as if possibly too hot and was cooling off. There were two people in different pools with smartphones out, and some were taking pictures ... which affects the dynamic around hot springs (and where Harbin Hot Springs doesn't allow cameras on property or didn't, although they sneak in occasionally), - and where I've gone to Harbin since about 1993 or '94 ... just when the World Wide Web with graphical user interfaces, very early broadband and re browser Wars too were emerging). So I sat for a while on the bank by the (hot I think, not checking out the warm ones 25 yards away) pools, and with a different vibe from Harbin (re my Actual-virtual Harbin Ethnographic book), sat in half lotus with jeans on, meditating just a little, then decided to put on my bathing suit, which I did sitting turning away from everyone and discreetly in the open plain, and got in a natural pool in the middle of a number of them with much space and where there was one couple. After a while we began to chat.
Had they been to Harbin Hot Springs? That was the one that burned down wasn't it? Is it open now? I think so, but I haven't been there.
He had a kind of crew cut haircut, and she was standing up from time to time. Are these pools clothing optional? Yes ... Did they know who Wild Willy was? No ... Although I had put on a bathing suit, I mentioned I had written a large Ethnographic book about Harbin Hot Springs entitled "Naked Harbin Ethnography" (not mentioning the subtitle ) ... And that I had written 4 other books of poetry also Harbin inspired. He asked if I knew the poetry of Kenneth Rexroth... (a beat poet too, sort of) .. I didn't... He said he's known for his poetry of the eastern Sierra mountains and hot springs, he said. I observed that there are a lot of hot springs and geothermal activity east of the Sierra mountains with many hot springs to explore... A kind of hot spring heaven. We started talking about beat and hippy poetry and the 1960s and '70s when hippies may have been open and exploratory regarding nudity, for example, compared with today. Beat poet-wise, I asked if they knew Gary Snyder's poetry, the hot springs' poetry of whom I don't know. The crew cut man maybe in his 70s said he didn't but that Rexroth became a professor at UC Santa Barbara (my alma mater) - some sort of possibly sepceial lecturer one website said - and I mentioned that Gary Snyder went to Reed College (not mentioning that Snyder became a professor at UC Davis - and not mentioning that I went to Reed and UC Santa Barbara).
I went on to say that my "Naked Harbin Ethnography"
(subtitle"...Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin")
... book is partly about creating a virtual Harbin Hot Springs and mentioning these amazing new YouTube immersive Onsen hot springs' information technology -
Onsen (please view in smartphone ... and then eventually in the back of your eyeglasses? but not while 'driving' an autonomous vehicle:) ~
https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI
I think it will be amazing and great when we can visit virtual Harbin in the back of our own sunglasses (pointing to the REI glacier glasses I was wearing). I also mentioned how we could all create a virtual Harbin or virtual Wild Willy's Crowly's hot springs in Google Street View with time slider Maps Earth TensorFlowAI by adding photos and videos nowadays. I also mentioned the vintage fire engine sometimes accessible or findable at the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house, in Google Street View,
~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~)
where one can move the time slider from the year 2012 with no fire engine to the left of the Harbin gate, to 2007 and see a vintage fire engine. The writing and creating new kinds of history aspect of this is amazing ... that we could all even wiki-add photos if these exist of wild Willy Himself whether they be from the 1970s or the 1930s or even the 1800s. And then we could potentially, in Google Street View with time slider and as this history and his, Wild Willy's, Avatar Bot developing becomes conversational and interactive begin to ask him questions and converse with him.
There's sometimes an amplifier effect I find at hot springs and when sharing ideas and almost philosophically or in innovative ways, and I was a little uncertain regarding having mentioned my books, and she asked what my name is to look up the books ... and with the smartphone cameras in the beginning... And whether they know Harbin people (they both said they hadn't visited Harbin, but his mentioning Rexroth and UC Santa Barbara lead me to wonder ...) ... And re the alternative culture... And however Harbin burnt down ... And with Harbin rebuilding ever so slowly and Sunheart Sunheart passing ... Regarding the strong energies of Harbin and such hot springs and counter-culturally too ..
I didn't stay long at Wild Willy's Crowly's hot springs, but a bit cleaner after being underway overnight... And seeking to return to the Bay area that evening, I decided to head on to Yosemite then because of the entrance gate to Travertine Hot Springs (which I had first visited on May 14 2022 - and possibly in the 1990s on a Green tortoise trip at night..) ... Which is exactly 61 miles north of Wild Willy's Crowly's hot springs.
Yosemite Tioga road travels ... beautiful ranger at the gate ... Interesting National Park Service choice of ranger...
Back to Travertine Hot Springs, soaking briefly in the first big pools... Talking with a couple about her seeing a snake and I think getting a little scared... As I walked back from the far pools where I first met them .. he had taken a photo of the snake there... I was walking near what looks like a mini Sphinx emerging geologically out of the rock formations... And I saw a snake which seems water oriented... A later Google search suggested 4 snakes in the area, 2 of which California King snake or Mojave Green could have been it (and snakes generally seek to avoid people, so I'm not that fearful of them, but I think she was pretty unsettled, in a deep way, and may have chosen not to go into the pools as a consequence ... perhaps the experience bonded them together closely but not at the hot springs) ...
Sonora Pass and was excited to find the PCT at the top ... In that stellar road and pass, I discovered some new places to return to for a backpacking trip with my own family in the future, not at the summit, and also the opportunity to hike the PCT maybe this summer further...
And in seeking to explore facilitating making a realistic virtual earth for history and genetics and pharmaceuticals and soaking, in Google Street View with time slider, Maps Earth TensorFlowAI, check out this screenshot picture in my blog -

Hi Ma, nice to talk last night although the phone connection was not working. Good traveling around the southern end of the Sierras, north along the eastern Sierra mountains on 395, stopping at Crowly's hot springs - then heading up to very beautiful Yosemite and its Eastern gate on the Tioga road for 11 miles (it costs $35 just to drive thru Yosemite from 4:01 pm to 5:59 am if one doesn't have a reservation - then back down to 395, and then to Travertine Hot Springs then back over the Sonora pass and found this time the PACIFIC CREST TRAIL at its summit (unlike on Sat., May 14, 2022) then back to the SF Bay Area. (Good to get into a kind of "hot springs" and traveling "body mind space"). Glad Navinchandra Doshi said that the "Canyon place is mine" and possibly re justice questions regarding the little faun that was 'freed,' by his lower back gate. Navinchandra may be navigating various things in saying this about which I don't know. I think we may learn more about what things - and from a state of California and federal government legal processes working together perspective but regarding alternative networks too. Glad to be coming into a place, a house in Canyon, where I might raise my family, if Navinchandra Doshi (with Pin and the Mazumdars' thinking) - on my 5th lease agreement letter now - words play out. Am not sure what the implications for the missing check are ... but am hoping you can put a stop payment on it tomorrow and all will be done. ...Abolition-ally regarding protecting people, innocents, women, kids others, and hopefully this curious new development will work out for the best

Hi Ma, off to Miracle Hot Springs via Canyon CA 94516 mail pick up:)

Ma, a further brainstorming idea - if I could find and choose the 10 most beautiful Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music from the 200-300 extant ones, for me and which most people would agree about also, like PM Donald MacLeod (who mentions His Father's Lament for Donald Mackenzie as being a pastoral air and beautiful), and play them on my upcoming album beautifully with Scottish Small Pipes, that would be an amazing creation. :) (http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm). ... "His Father's Lament for Donald Mackenzie" is one of those for me currently :) and new ...
*
Hi Ma,
Nice to talk and thanks!
Here's the beginning of my favorite Piobaireachd list - including some recordings - and exploring and possibly ranking (and further thinking about what makes Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music beautiful ...) ...
"Piobaireachd most beautiful pieces of the extant ~315 pieces ..."
There are 6 pieces at the top as I begin to look through the 315 or so further and for my Scottish Small Pipes' album of Ceol Mor.
You'll need permission to see this and let me know if you want to...
Love
, Scott
This list will find its way here -
But here is the beginning of this developing changing list -

Lovely evening too. How are you? 💕 Scott

Very beautiful way in ... Golden but dry dry mountain, what rock formations ... Hobo campground at Miracle Hot Springs with river flowing briskly ... seems better to soak in in the morning ... and maybe re sharing it with you virtually maybe:) ... A bit low brow, on a Saturday night with a bunch of cars, I didn't see alcohol openly but am a bit wary of scams ... Will camp close by and explore some pools in the morning:) Hoping you had a good day and week Ma! I'll have my 'eyes peeled ' for the 14505 feet of Mt Whitney in the morning. Good to have gotten a good night's sleep last night ... May be able to open the back of Prius for sleeping with a great view, and for stretching out :) Hoping you have a good Sunday 🙂 Love 💕 Scott

Am camped up a high bluff over a roaring little Kern river in a California dry canyon valley on Kern canyon road, in the Sequoia National Forest, a land of many uses.

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, Larry, ALL,
Hi Ma, nice to talk last night (from Bridgeport CA near Travertine Hot Springs while you were visiting Jean Thomas) - although the phone connection was not working well. Good traveling around the southern end of the Sierras, north along the eastern Sierra mountains on 395, stopping at Crowly's hot springs - then heading up to very beautiful Yosemite and its Eastern gate on the Tioga road for 11 miles (it costs $35 just to drive thru Yosemite from 4:01 pm to 5:59 am if one doesn't have a reservation - then back down to 395, and then North further to Travertine Hot Springs then back over the stellar Sonora pass, and found this time the PACIFIC CREST TRAIL (which part I didn't hike on in 1980, while hiking the PCT for 3.5 months) at its summit (unlike on Sat., May 14, 2022) then back to the SF Bay Area. (Good to get into a kind of "hot springs" and traveling "body mind space"). Glad Navinchandra Doshi said that the "Canyon place is mine," and possibly re justice questions, regarding the little faun that we 'freed,' by his new lower back fence gate. Navinchandra may be navigating various things in saying this about which I don't know. I think we may learn more about what things - and from a state of California and federal government legal processes working together perspective but re alternative networks too today. Glad to be coming into a place, potentially a house in Canyon, where I might raise my family, if Navinchandra Doshi (with possibly with Pin's HHS and the Mazumdars' thinking?) - on my 5th lease agreement letter now here - words play out. Glad too Ed sought to precipitate my moving back into Canyon on F April 15th. Am not sure what the implications for the missing check are ... but am hoping you can put a stop payment on it tomorrow and all will be done. Next month re check raises a question about how to send it.

Text from Ed last night -
No weeping. Though i was weeping that time at the reality of leaving my children on this ravaged planet.
Texts to Ed last night -
No, weeping? Hi Ed from the boardwalk between 2 mountain ranges to Wild Willy Crowly's hot springs and not quite as wild as it may have been but not tame either .. who was wild Willy in a realistic virtual earth for history and genetics and soaking? ... Planet ahead with Desiderata and psychiatry too ? Reposted tweet to HarbinBook recently re MIT Hacking Medicine and mentioned your 3 Ss from KP ... Will try to send Tweet later :)
With a
boardwalk now,
these natural free hot springs,
between 2 mountain ranges,
Wild Willy's
Crowly's hot springs are
maybe not quite as
wild as it
may have been when
Wild Willy was
around -
does anyone know about
him? - but
not tame either .. Who was

Hi Ed, almost back to the Bay area ...

Hi Ed, almost back to the Bay area ... Still no June check resources to 'un-safe house' north of Berkeley (and could this be the illegal sex industry and even a crook in networks of unwell alice s and Navin D too - and no resources to Work World University and School either ... And as long as tom w. may be at large, I may be seeking asylum again in August ... Your mentioning being rained in - reined in?, getting resources too? Staying at home with work? - makes me wonder how an Academic Medical Center with Warm Water Cure and Physical-Digital experiments and WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute too on the ridge in Canyon might help with resources and interesting creative opportunities for you and many people ... and exploring this over centuries ahead potentially... Am thinking I should begin to look into heading to the east coast or Europe again re the same thing... Abolitionally, regarding state of California and federal government and international law too... Hoping you had a good weekend and Sunday and talk with you later, Regards, Scott (both regarding Minutes for WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 5/21/22 http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/05/gazella-rhim-gazelle.html?m=0 ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/05/gazella-black-tailed-gazelle-in-china.html) ...

Ed, as I went into East Bay MUD forested lands to get mail in Canyon, and got to the 3 way intersection past the Valle Vista staging area, 2 black stallions were there with riders wearing plaid shirts and cowboy hats, and, across the road, both riders turned their horses in unison, to look into the forest. I turned right to get the WUaS mail but I have only one other time,
I think, seen 4 horses and riders in the Canyon valley up the road dressed in very elaborate Latino cowboy clothes ... Synchronized 'fancy' horse riding probably happens around these parts in the stables ... And hi from Turlock in the central valley with 3.5 hours left to get to Miracle Springs ... Have my eyes open for a garage sale with a tall person's 18 speed bicycle as well as even a roof rack place even for ideas (but probably better as DIY) :) ... maybe in Bakersfield ... Hoping you're having a good weekend, - Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/05/gazella-black-tailed-gazelle-in-china.html)
Hi Ed, Sequoia National Forest here, haven't seen Mt Whitney at 13,000 some feet, from the central valley maybe due to smog, have internet again, May be 10 minutes from the hot springs, Turning off the stellar road for the past 15 -25 miles, after 4 hours of blah agricultural over industry lands ... Lovely evening too. How are you? 💕 Scott Have you spent any much time in Sequoia? :)
Very beautiful way in ... Golden but dry dry mountain what rock formations... Hobo campground at Miracle Hot Springs with river flowing briskly ... seems better to soak in in the morning... and maybe re sharing it with you virtually maybe:) ... A bit low brow, on a Saturday night with a bunch of cars, I didn't see alcohol openly but am a bit wary of scams ... Will camp close by and explore some pools in the morning:) Hoping you had a good day and week Ed! I'll have my 'eyes peeled ' for the 14505 feet of Mt Whitney in the morning. Hoping you have a good Sunday 🙂 (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/05/gazella-black-tailed-gazelle-in-china.html?m=0)

Am camped up on a high bluff over a roaring little Kern river in a California dry canyon valley on Kern canyon road, in the Sequoia National Forest, a land of many uses. The night sky is incredible, so light filled with myriad speckles, stars of varying intensity, fields of milk droplets, with familiar constellations shining out ... The big dipper, Orion's belt ... Across the valley is the main road, with an occasional car. No houses or other buildings to be seen. The new sleeping board 2' x 4' x .5" a plywood sheet is great! The back hatch of the vehicle open, my feet can stick out a little, (with no more torquing of knees, and even when back hatch will be closed, I've gained another 1.5 feet of sleeping space under my head and shoulders with the plywood board, with doubled over pillow:) & am appreciating the fresh air of this little sleeping berth. Am glad too to have an internet signal on the high perch with a great view down canyon and up sky day and in this sleeping time , while writing on smartphone. Not a lightning Ethnographic description of Miracle Hot Springs yet, but a little vignette of some traveling to a springs in the California world of Sequoia National Forest without seeing any Sequoias yet ... I'll have my eyes open for the Pacific Crest Trail ahead today which part I did hike on in 1980 :) , 💞 Fond regards, Scott

I enjoy hearing about your sleeping berth. And putting it to good use! It is amazing where you can get an internet signal now.
Can you send me your GPS coordinates, and I can look up on Google earth?
Scott -
Am hoping hoping Ed you may put your phone on 'do not disturb' at night when so desired ... I'm in Bishop CA now and asked Search about location... Lat: 37.09024°
Lng: -95.71289° came up from https://google-earth-pro.gosur.com/ Do they point to Bishop? Went into Mountain Gear exchange and there were a lot of attractive 20 something women ... Sleeping with ... Birth ...is on my mind... But no roof racks that can do everything, and no tall person's 25 inch frame 18 speed touring bikes either ... How would I look up your coordinates... Both of your house and where you might be if different? What are your coordinates now? :) May stop at Wild Willy Crowly's hot springs and then head back through Yosemite to the SF Bay Golden ... Gate Bridge Area ... And potentially a new sleeping berth around August 1 there even?:) Nice to hear from you 😌-Scott (https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1533475900901101568 ... Check out the Toyota Prius Prime electric's equivalent mpg mileage, Ed:)
Memories of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 1980 Ed. Bit of a deja Vu moment ... After hiking 300-400 miles of the PCT from Mexico North, I came down from the high Sierra mountains just before hiking the John Muir Trail... and getting $10 in every food box care of general delivery in the USPS (sent by a Reed College friend, which food boxes I had put together before the hike), it wasn't enough to resole hiking boots then. I thought I might be able to earn the money, had found a shoe repair in Bishop ca, Irv the cobbler, who could do it. So I started to look for ways to earn the money. Just now I saw a big burly man in Overalls and a white T shirt, as I drove along Bishop's main street, and was reminded of the kind electrician, wearing the same, whom I had met in 1980 who gave me $40 to get my hiking boots resoled after I told him in a parking lot that I was hiking the PCT and needed to resole my hiking boots ... Kind of cool ... and maybe it's a pattern in Bishop too to wear overall dungarees and a white T shirt. Nice memory of a kindness shared ... Which I seek to do for others from time to time:)
Ed -
Nice memory of kindness. . .. bit rained!!!! $#@!!! here last night
Scott -
Yes ... "a bit rained!!!" ...
Qu'est-ce que c'est? (We're you by any chance crying again last night, Ed?( You mentioned this some time ago :( ) hi from Crowly hot springs and energy wise seems with many folks and a little walk to be good 😊
Ed -
No weeping. Though i was weeping that time at the reality of leaving my children on this ravaged planet.
Scott -
No, weeping? Hi Ed from the boardwalk between 2 mountain ranges to Wild Willy Crowly's hot springs and not quite as wild as it may have been but not tame either .. who was wild Willy in a realistic virtual earth for history and genetics and soaking? ... Planet ahead with Desiderata and psychiatry too ? Reposted tweet to HarbinBook recently re MIT Hacking Medicine and mentioned your 3 Ss from KP ... Will try to send Tweet later :)
With a boardwalk now, these natural free hot springs, between 2 mountain ranges, Wild Willy's Crowly's hot springs are maybe not quite as wild as it may have been when Wild Willy was around - does anyone know about him? - but not tame either ..

Hi Ed, thanks for your texts. Am back to unsafe house north of Berkeley... Was the place used when I was gone? Slightly greasy bathtub, compared with all other times, and possibly bar of soap moved out of place ... But don't know maybe it's time to think about asylum on the east coast or ... Hoping you had a good week... Will wait to learn what Navinchandra says about the check tomorrow... Thanks too for seeking to precipitate my moving back into a safe Canyon (per John Sargent MD too). Thanks again, Scott
