      I have to agree Owe Jay. I haven't lived in CA for over thirty years but it is stunning. Our last trip was to Petaluma and along the Russian River to the coast. I just said to my wife while watching this, "this is why some people will never leave CA, you know one day the unbelievable beauty will just pop up and you have to be there to see it as it does not last long." I have seen the raging rivers and the desert in bloom as a visitor. I consider myself extremely lucky to have experienced that level of natural beauty.

    Wow, flown over the NW and California for 50 years and never seen anything like it! I would say that Northern California in many ways is one of the most special places in the world, not just for geography but history, climate and the quality of life it offered when I was growing up. An average person who worked hard could afford a nice home, ranch, an airplane and could afford to enjoy it. Fresh food, clean air, water. little crime and a lot of good, honest people. I always hoped to be able to enjoy that dream, at least I can still enjoy the dream and admire those like Juan who share it with us.

    In the early part of 1964 an unusual heavy rain occurred that soaked the area east of the range that was east of San Diego. We took a drive through that area and noticed millions of tiny flowers in areas that were normally quite dry. It was not as dramatic as the aerial view you showed here, but is was noteworthy. The desert can be an interesting place. Well done, Juan.

      Has your mom ever had a look at Nick Zentner's geology videos from Central Washington University? They are Washington-centric, but he, as a professor of geology, does a great job of introducing and expanding on all things geological to be found there...and that's a lot. During the pandemic, when the university was closed, he did 5 videos a week from his back yard for a semester, then cut it down to 3 per week. He has let us (UA-cam watchers) sit in on his classes and field trips, and has put together some great A to Z series (26 videos over 13 weeks), on such topics as exotic terrains and the Baja-British Columbia puzzle.
