SEARCHING FOR PORTALS? The doorways that lead to another way of being, thinking, existing, doing, loving, enjoying?

Rim of the World Scenic Byway? They're all there, waiting for visitors again when the time is right.

AND... speaking of the time being right, keeping an eye on California travel advisories, as summer turns to fall, is as smart as a good song is full of soul.
