Took the family up to the high country on the long Memorial Weekend. It was cold and even snowed on us one of the days. Most people don't think of California when you talk highcountry....however, we have the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states. Enjoy

Mt. Whitney (highest Mtn. lower 48)

Nice country and nice pics, and I learned that CA has some big mountains to boot. Never knew that actually, thanks the lesson.

NICE PICS BOHNTR! Yea, I never realized how nice California can be if you get away from the cities until I was stationed there. Sure is some beautiful country!
