Sierra Camping

We proceeded on, driving leisurely toward Lake Tahoe. The route we took included the impressive Sonora Pass and then another pass (Monitor Pass?) the next day. I think 15% is the steepest grade we have undertaken in our travels, so the 28% and less grades of the Sonora Pass were pretty thrilling. The big Dodge Ram truck handled them easily.
The pass was close to 10,000 feet; of course, we've been
higher in this vehicle, in Wyoming last winter

To the east, more mountains


At length we got to the Kit Carson campground in Toiyabe NF;
the greatest of the mountain men, arguably

















Our encampment
















Another great Sierra view...with free wifi poached from a
"resort" down the road

















After visiting a nice farmer's market in South Lake Tahoe, we
made it to Stateline, NV, and eventually another encampment.

Sorry, turns out the machine was owned by the Dark Lord Sauron.
