After Prakash's trip to Canada, he and Suchitra (his partner at that time) found a rental property in the Santa Cruz mountains. This place was in a steep ravine, at the end of a road that resembled a goat trail, and it offered quiet and privacy. There was a barn that had the top floor converted into a studio with shop space and facilities below. There was electricity and telephone, and water was supplied by a hillside spring.
Grace was parked on an old logging spur overlooking the building, with the back deck nearly flush with the hillside. A steep set of hewn logs ascended the hillside to the front steps of the bus.
This was Prakash's living situation during my first visit to Santa Cruz in 1980.
