Eastern Sierra Adventure Time

Just got back from some weekend hoopla in the eastern Sierra with our lovely guide Greta, Leigh, and NEW FRIENDS Bridget and Bri.  We camped, we climbed, we gorged ourselves on the views of the mountains and desert and did a lot of fiddling with my new camera.  Check it out!

Leigh showing us what the high-step is all about
Night/Day 1 - we camped outside of Lone Pine, CA in the Alabama Hills and did a little climbing on the big boulders there.  I got to get on the sharp end and do a little leading for the first time in a while.  It was SCARY... when can we do it again?!
The Love, the Ride, and the Mountains.  Yes!

Thanks for the catch Greta!

Night 2 - we shuffled up to Bishop, CA and found a sweet spot to camp on Buttermilk rd.  The next day Bri and I did a little walkabout and got to see what the desert/rock/mountain landscape was all about.

 Holy shit!  Rocks everywhere!
