Tomorrow morning our entire family, right down to the dog, will climb into the Chevy Suburban for the drive across California from Palo Alto to the high Sierras, where we'll hike, swim, boat, and play speed chess, a game I learned about here on Ricochet. (Scott Reusser, I bought the very chess clock you recommended.) Pictured, Rancheria Falls, in a photo I snapped two years ago. We expect to climb to the Falls again on Wednesday.
Think good thoughts of us Robinsons, if you would, make John Hinderaker feel welcome, and keep an eye, as ever, on Rob.
Back in a week.

Travel safely - Family Robinson, and make sure you take the snake bite kit just in case.

Re: Vale
Enjoy! And remember Vacationology 101: insulate yourselves from all current events.
Re: Vale
Current events? Fie! I'm taking only two books: a life of St. Francis, which will keep my mind firmly fixed on the thirteenth century, and Harvey Mansfield's new volume, Tocqueville: A Very Short Introduction, which will get me to the middle of the nineteenth century, the closest approach to the present I'll permit myself.
The boys just finished packing the Suburban. We're off!
