 The Long & Winding Road, Emu's Version
The road to Oatman is still part of Route 66, but what a road it is. The hills are not the highest and the canyons are not the deepest.
But it was kind of cool to sit on a hill, on a cruiser, in the desert, in the middle of nowhere.
The last ten miles to Baker were done on reserve and a lot of sweating.

 The Long & Winding Road, Emu's Version
The purpose is to meander, and the Black Hills are tailor made to that purpose.
The beauty of the Black Hills is even the straight stretches of road have slight back and forth curves to them and deliberately follow any rolling terrain between the larger hills.

 Lower Putah, Putah-Cache Circumdrive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In spite of its homely and somewhat vestigial nature, there is a rich biodiversity in this stretch of the creek—rich enough to prompt the formation of a local volunteer group, the Putah Creek Council, to seek ways of restoring and protecting the creek.
One main thrust of the council is to seek adequate flow levels downstream from Berryessa Reservoir and the Solano diversion dam to protect the ecosystems and public trust resources of the creek.
At this very spot there is considerable potential to demonstrate for the rest of the state just how to operate water impoundments and diversions for the most sustainable, long term benefit for all parties involved, human and otherwise (including those animals and plants who can not speak on their own behalf).
