    The full-moon hike

    On 16 November, seventeen of us from Caltech went on a wonderful full-moon hike through a fascinating history-laden trail to Echo mountain where dwelt once upon a time a mountain railway line and resort. The drive took slightly less than twenty minutes, and once we got started on the trail we hardly noticed time pass. A full white ovule from a parched-dry sky shone above us only moistening, but not entirely washing away the dirt-road in its silvery breath. And then, there was the spectacle of the dim, shimmering tim-timming city lights of Pasadena at the footsteps of the mountain which in spite of its artifice was something to behold.
