They both ended up part way through looking like this. Sure glad we do not have to live in this mess. This was on the 80 through the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The storm looming in the distance.
This is for Jackie as she loves clouds. But you can see we had dry roads here.
The sun seen through the clouds.
A look across the area and an old barn that may not be around much longer.
looks like the storm is coming in-we were in and out of it all day.
As you can see there is still a lot of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
an area that winter is slowly loosing its grip-creating neat water falls.
A nice field of flowers with and added "attraction'.
This is from our dash. As you can see the weather was all over the place.
The dark line is really a railroad snow shed- see the sign below.
Jerry's house and his outhouse is below, nicely decorated.
We saw these gallows in one of the towns we investigated on our drive. They were only used once and hanging was outlawed in CA.
Beautiful flowers are everywhere.
One lane bridge in this small town on our journey- no coach to cross this one.
Ice or sleet on the window shows the type of weather we were in and out of May 21st.
The Donner party sign and monument below the sign.
Bil wanted to go to Donner Pass--for lunch-- he said something about "finger-food"; I said over my dead body. his response, "ok". he later thought a 'rump roast" might be tasty as well. But seriously there is a lot of history here and we spend the day getting there and enjoying the museum/park and trip.
Donner Lake and the area below the ski areas.
The girl in this was one of the people who lived through the fateful time.
