High Sierra

The Range of Light (as John Muir called it) is certainly an apt name. We were treated to some great roadside views while returning home via Sonora Pass. We read about a guy who spent 35 days crossing the mountains by this route in 1852. Not that easy if you have no road plus wagons and oxen to deal with. The first thing he did upon settling in Tuolumne County was to marry a survivor of the Donner Party.

We all have our challenges, but it seems that daily life is much easier these days.
