34. The book ends with Kirk beaming down to Sespe (near Los Angeles, California) while the Enterprise was undergoing repairs to perform one final task. How was he able to honor Ael? Did this novel make you more sympathetic toward the Romulans?

I used to camp alone in the mountains near LA. I know this drill. (details: https://www.dianeduane.com/outofambit/2021/09/20/star-trek-and-sespe/ ) That’s how I still manage stuff locally. Fire is *dangerous* & can get out of hand in unexpected and deadly ways. Not gonna let it do that on my watch.

This short trail corridor near Sespe Wilderness in southern #California provided many different good photo ops within 5-10 minutes as the light and cloud cover changed, for #ColorADay #YellowThu. Here's one I quite liked.

Late afternoon sun can enhance the scene with richer & deeper color tones, as here on the vegetation and sandstone rocks in the distance off Howard Creek #Trail, adjacent to Sespe Wilderness north of Ojai, #California. For #Stunday.

「南カリフォルニアでは、ビーバーがいた証拠が先住民の記憶の中にしか残っていないことも多い」とのこと。
Wikipediaには、
・バークレーのハースト博物館には、1870年代にシャーマン「ソミク」が作ったビーバーの尾の皮でできた雨乞いの道具と煙草入れが保管されている。
・ビーバーが噛んだ柳の枝には水を呼ぶ力があるという信仰があり、特別な物質を塗って地面に刺すと永遠に湧き出る泉ができると信じられていた。
・チュマシュ族にはビーバーダンスがあった
などの記載がある。

Wierd that some of the tracks seem to start in the Sespe Wilderness.
That area is steep and deep, so unless they are tracking condors, it's a hard place to get to.

A last one for #Stunday today before I head out. This is another shot I took on a trail off Hwy 33 north of Ojai, #California, outside of but nearby the Sespe Wilderness, looking down on some lucky landowner's property and their pond.

This large rock up high along the Porter John #trail in Sespe Wilderness, inland from Santa Barbara, #California, looked like a face, maybe with a little werewolf fur, and cat ears, staring back at me. For #RockinTuesday.

I’ve had the privilege of watching California condors soaring in the Sespe reserve, as well as at the Grand Canyon. It’s an amazing sight.

A few peaks catching late rays above the Sespe Wilderness in southern #California close to sunset time, through a wildflower foreground, for #Stunday. In the mountains inland from the Santa Barbara area.

This one is from Vern Mesler's collection . The Sespe Bridge was a Pennsylvania through truss bridge with A-frame portal bracings. The bridge dates back to between 1890 and 1910. The question is when was it built and by whom? Looking forward to your input. Feel free to…

Was catching a sunset along the Rose Valley Road off Hwy 33 north of Ojai, #California, which runs to a portion of the Sespe Wilderness, and these pinkish-rose accents appeared in the sky for #ColorADay #PinkMon.
