On the Border

Thursday, July 16, 2015
We are now just a few miles from the Nevada border.  Today's travels took us from 2000 feet elevation to over 7000 feet elevations after first going back into the central valley that is just above sea level. We have gone from the Yosemite Highway


To the Central Valley and all of its agricultural land - fruits, vegetables and nuts

(truck load of onions)
to another section of the Sierra Nevada range of mountains and lots more green trees


And even a quick peak at the huge Donner Lake near the Donner Pass
 A fascinating "mushroom" cloud hung over the road for miles upon end till we were actually under it and then through it



Tomorrow our plan is to drive around Lake Tahoe.  We're hoping to see even more green and of course beautiful blue water.
