California Camping / Backpack Trip - 2009

Took a wonderful camping and backpack trip with the entire family in late July.
A bit of camping in the White Mountains (Bristlecone Pine Forest), and a bit
of backpacking in the Sierra (Ruby Lake / Mono Pass). Fantastic country
and even better company!!

Wow Brian, I never knew that you were so talented! I am amazed by your pictures. You have shown me another California. I have lived here for over 20 years and we tend to stay near the coast. Your pictures are amazing. What a blessing to use a gift that God has given you to capture such beauty. I hope all is well.
