We're continuing our tour of California. We just, and we mean just, beat a snow storm as we made it out of the high sierra over Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park. We had planned on camping at Mono Lake, but the predicted heavy snow and 80 mph winds pushed us north and back across the Sierras as we headed west to the north coast. Out in the northern redwood area we were greeted by temperatures dropping into the low 30's and lots of rain for a few days. We headed down to Oakland to spend Thanksgiving with some of Nova's friends which gave me time to go through some photos from the trip. Below is a very disorganized selection of photos. Nova will surely have some to add when she has a chance. We head back out on the road tomorrow.
