And in the same breath of beauty i should mention my first weekend in California, when Clea and David took us hiking, near Corralitos, in a protected forest area owned by a land conservation trust and open to the public but few people know. Clea and David once lived in that place of relative wilderness (one winter a landslide cut them off from Corralitos for three months), with only one neighbor and Jim, who takes care of the whole forest.
