As always, thank you.
I once spent the day at Arroyo del Seco with two high school chums, to see the insect life, most notably the Monarchs. It was a vivid experience.
“Have you ever been down Salinas way?
Where Steinbeck found the valley,
And he wrote about it the way it was in his travelin’s
with Charley,
And have you ever walked down through the sycamores,
Where the farmhouse used to be,
There the monarch’s autumn journey ends,
On a windswept cyprus tree.”
From “California Saga” [1973] by The Beach Boys
You inspire me to search YouTube. Someone must have videotaped them. I’m glad you liked it.
