Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:05 pm
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)
