Bristlecone Pines CA

This was it! We suddenly came to the final day of our "Helga Tour 2007". A day spent in the nearby Bristlecones, and then Helga had to leave for her home in Germany.
Ski and I returned to our normal routines at home, which began with washing the car! I started organizing and uploading all 837 photos, which took three months. Helga
is our great friend with whom we enjoyed this 6000-mile Pacific Coast odyssey. We look forward to a future photo tour with Helga, either in the U.S. or in elsewhere.
