I’ve got a blogger best buddy who started her site when I did mine! She ended up as VP for my nonprofit, and we still exchange love messages all the time. What a journey, right?

Thank you for featuring Kevin here. Great write up and pictures. I have had fond memories of Eastern Sierras. I consider Sierra as one of the best places in California especially route 395. Thanks
