"Give fools their gold, 

and knaves their power;

let fortune's bubbles rise and fall;

who sows a field,

or trains a flower, or plants a tree,

is more than all."

“All journeys have 
secret destinations
of which the traveler 
is unaware.”

 Novato CA [Olompali Mt]

 "Olompali was a high status residence and 

permanent hub of the MIWOK community.

The Olompali community or tribelet once

comprised 25 square miles of territory,

 and supported a number of 

permanent and semi-permanent 

villages within this territory."

This area was the most heavily populated

by First Nations [Coast Miwok]

And so I learn a

new history,

new names, new

places.

Glad you came along

for the ride!
