Publisher's Synopsis
Don Thompson is a native of the southern San Joaquin Valley where he has lived most of his life, writing about its unique environment. In From Here On: Four Sunday Drives, he revives an old tradition, documenting road trips to nearby farmland, the foothills, and to the Sierras. Thompson reflects on the passing of time and the deterioration and abuse of the land. Even in the outlying areas reached only on back roads, there is evidence of vandalism and violence. And yet the landscape he loves somehow endures.
