I am stoked on this piece.  It's old, but worth re looking at and writing about (to me).

The hikers are from a Maynord Dixon painting (reproduction thereof) who is to me the quintessential “California” painter as much as William Wendt or Karl Benjamin are.  The trail leads them to my Zion, The Big Picture.
That is all of the decoding that I will do.  Me story, es su story.
