The big, very old locomotive engine was pulling just to Freight cars in this 80 mile long desolate stretch alongside California Interstate 5 north of Sacramento. Noticing it at the last moment chugging so slowly in the opposite direction to me on the opposite side of this Tulane Highway I waved my hand. The Horn of the train honked immediately. We both enjoyed that I'm sure.

I infinitely choose the deep sadness of being alive in this hellish world we have created, instead of the alternative, a happy existence, living death, of blissful ignorance and denial. Our culture exists in tirely on making the opposite choice of mine.

Unfriending probably 10 per day, sad, angry, resentful. But mostly simply acknowledging that the word friend means something, and a friend not in deed is no friend.

Important! Video archive of solar bicycle car Harvester micro RV, on Vimeo, despite my friends...... .

Finally, weeks after imploring my friends to help,  with no help forthcoming,  the archival footage of this  miraculous, strategically important,  e-trike  micro solar Harvester RV  is up on the web. https://vimeo.com/237673278

How much am I a wimp? Very little, I think, but very much, possibly. I have quite the cycle recently of Agony of despair, and my cup runneth over. Absolutely, I have no complaints. LOL.

Tired. The stress of the travel down through the Rockies, the frightening Siskiyou Pass, the frightening Travels afterwards, have taken their toll. This old system is tired. The solar bike car Harvester micro RV is performing beautifully. It has really been completed this last month with the help of some of you, and it's driver is becoming more knowledgeable of what the limits are, so it is being put less under undue stress. But the human part of the equation seems a bit broken. 60 miles south of here is a nondescript little State campground on a Lake, Recreation Area. Looks reasonably quiet. 20 bucks a night. It seems prudent for this nervous system to go there for a day or two to see if it can restore itself.  https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10212442432968792&id=1620551416

My passion, and awe, at nature seems to be gone. This concerns me though I don't know if it should. Surely it is a consequence of the human atrocities that we visit on each other and creation everyday, that I live, refusing to turn away. I may decide that the passion for nature must be rekindled in me. Or maybe not. Not sure.

I taught loving. The scribes taught fear. You created Christianity so that you could follow the scribes in my name.

I know of no one alive today that so sees, speaks, lives the essential truths, as I. Hence I will end in obscurity, like Jesus. Jesus not obscure? Jesus changed the world? I totally disagree. His name is known, the religion of fear of the scribes and Pharisees was rebranded in his name. We know them, their religion, no, we do not know Jesus that man is obscure. The one in a million exception proves the rule. Gandhi for example who said, I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ. Earth is less christ-like than the day that Jesus lived.

The genuinely nice, kind, intelligent, fundamentalist Christian teacher this morning, my age, was certain that the Golden Rule, do unto others all you would have them do unto you, was not in the Bible. This honest man could cite chapter and verse but he was certain that was not there. It is. Look it up. Searching on my phone outside I found it, multiple places, went back in and showed him, he was genuinely surprised, my age, had not seen it before, and did not deny it. Jesus religion of Love, is unknown among fundamentalists. All they know and believe is the old rule of fear. The scribes and Pharisees won.

The pressure increases. If you stand for nothing people flock to stand with you. If you stand for something, you stand alone when people realize that. The one individual cyclist in Silicon Valley who offered a place to park legally just backed out. Out of the 30 that I contacted, along with every Unitarian Universalist Church, every Quaker Meeting, no room at the Inn. I'm not surprised but I hadn't understood. I understand now. The political stances that I take people out there are terrified of being associated with. Sure looking like jail time for vagrancy.

Extreme morality, decency, ethics, Humanity, is it's the only necessary and essential element for a joyful world with little suffering. We don't like that answer. F*** the children and their future.

The same vehicle that crash-landed down the Fearsome pass in Seattle, your vehicle, which you helped repair and strengthen, just conquered Siskiyou Pass. Almost not. Well, the pass was okay, but as some of you.....

The same vehicle that crash-landed down the Fearsome pass in Seattle, your vehicle, which you......... helped repair and strengthen, just conquered Siskiyou Pass. You doubled the climbing capacity by doubling the battery storage, you enabled a climbing gear on the motor and the climbing gear for the cyclist, and many details that made this all come together, and the repairs, the replacement and backup rims, tires, tubes, Tire liners to reduce Flats. No Flats today by the way. and you strengthened the trailer axle. Almost not, almost didn't complete today's Journey. Well, the pass was okay, but as some of you know I was more concerned about the secondary roads California would force me onto, off of the interstate. Subsequently I thought I saw a way to do it. I was sure. 2 miles from the summit of Siskiyou is a gorgeous Lodge for Rich folks. Callahan's. I stopped for something to eat. And to let the vehicle soak up some electrons. What I could afford was coffee and a tip so that's what happened. As I sat there I looked more carefully at the route down from Siskiyou to where I am now. It looked great, the secondary roads. On the elevation profile, however, there was this tiny little Notch, tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny I hadn't noticed it before. My friend Bill in Ashland who's home I stayed several days, an extraordinary Global cyclist, had no recollection of it. It was where the secondary Road crossed Shasta River, and upon closer examination it was a climb, 250 ft, in one tenth of a mile. This vehicle can pretty well handle a 250 foot climb over a mile. This was 10 times more than was possible. There are portions of Interstate 5 where it is legal for bicycles. That was much of the  10 Mile descent from Siskiyou Pass. But then it went illegal. But the alternative route was impossible for this vehicle. So reluctantly The Voyage continued on the interstate. Traffic was light. The shoulder was wide and clean. No structural reason why cyclists would have been excluded. And the bicycle gods did not decide to get me arrested today. I think they're saving that for Silicon Valley. As the bicycle travels, Silicon Valley is between 350 and 400 miles away. Barring any unexpected travel disasters I expect to arrive Silicon Valley next weekend. Wow, the poor disc brakes with all that 10 miles of steep descent today.

Just arrived Callahan's. No problem. Looks like about 500', two miles, left to go. Then 10 miles of melting brakes. Yuck.

So far, everything according to plan or better. The new gears, the fan cooling the motor. Averaging...... about four and a half miles an hour. Currently at the switch back. If the Google lady is correct about one-third of the climb is done and two-thirds remain, 1355 feet. There should be enough energy in the batteries to make it all the way to the top but to be prudent and conservative the vehicle and I are stopped at the switch back for half an hour or so charging at a rate of 230 watts per hour.
