Cool
stuff ... back in 1970, my parents bought a Sunset book,
"Back Roads of California" that features pen-and-ink
drawings of scenic spots off the state's main highways.
One of those spots was a view down Quien Sabe road--here's a
comparison of artist Earl Thollander's sketch and current
scene. It's nice to know that some parts of California are
still unspoiled--and that's why we ride our bikes through them,
right? |
