While getting over to the eastern side of the Sierras proved to be something of a cluster****, the views once over there were well worth the trip. Ah, the magical power of snow, for it can even make Reno look pretty.

I'm going to guess Carson City or Gardnerville?

Somewhere between Lee Vining and Mammoth.

Ahh I was a little too far north. I think I made something like 20 trips up/down 395 in a two year time span, all kinds of weather. It's still a more preferable drive over the 5. Now I need to do it and take a little more time to enjoy the scenery.

So pretty, Alex! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Eastern Sierras. Just the way they jut out of the landscape is incredible. And, yes, there are only 2 sure ways to get over the Sierras in winter - 80 and 58. I think 80 is not even a sure thing at times.

BRRRRRRR!

(not related to the above conversation, I'm just cold. Supposed to get just a few degrees above freezing by 6am)

We have at most an inch of snow on the ground this morning. Now I don't know who to trust.

5 years
9 months
5 days

<<sigh>>

I'm on a VERY long journey.

Of course, it's pretty easy to get to the Eastern side of the Sierras from L.A. ;)
