Chappell: Quiet please... Quiet Please!

Man: About 5800 feet above sea level -- a little house, maybe 20 feet long, 15 feet wide. It's made of corrugated iron sheets with a high peaked roof, sort of hangs over the edge of the mountain top, with nothing but the spikes of pine trees stretching all the way down to Pasadena, better than a mile below you. [music up and out] You ever get out to California? Well if you do get up there sometime and take a look at that little house. But look at it through the fence that surrounds it -- that's far enough. [???] You go out Foothill boulevard toward Pasadena, but you turn off on Angeles Crest highway at [La Kanada?]. Just keep on drivin' uphill, you'll get there, just keep right on going. The top of Mt. Wilson is the end of the highway. You ever look through a big telescope? At the sky at night? At the things up there? Things so far away you strain your brain just trying to imagine how far away they are. |
