Sierra Range
The Sierra Nevada mountain range, which divides California and Nevada, runs 400 miles north to south between the two states. The Sierra Nevadas are synonymous with the earliest days of the North American conservation movement, and the champions of the American wilderness, like John Muir and Ansel Adams, made their mark here. Follow my travels in the spectacular Sierra Range.

There are times I come around that bend and there is weather and light I've never seen before.

Tuolomne Meadows
"Six months later I found the article in Life Magazine from 1946, and the editor of The Skeptical Inquirer had written me back. "We have every reason to believe this is a true story," he wrote. I had lost my five dollars; but in the end my skepticism was justified, and the process of realization was divine: all chickens primary motor functions operate from the command center of the neck.

Notes from Lake Tahoe
