The Sierra Nevada Hike
57 miles of peace, tranquility, and near frostbite juxtaposed with near worst-sunburn ever, these majestic mountainsides will be remembered for a long time. I certainly wont forget it until my knee's heal. (I should see a doctor someday soon)... anyway, there turned out to be no bears around... only the scariest deer i've ever seen. And those bastard squirrels. Near the end of the journey, My cousin Bryce and I decided that bears dont exist, but are actually many many squirrels. There was also supposed to be giardia lurking around, but i drank from a few streams without the aid of a purifier every now and then. it wasnt too bad.
The members of the trip comprised of Me, Bryce(19 yr old cousin), Charles(my dad), Barbara and Sev(aunt/uncle), Marcia and Janice and Marilyn (aunts), and Chris and Alex (21 year old germans)
Before embarking, we sat down to feast at sizzlers... As we did when we finally returned. Their 'Salad' bar was amusing as the waitress gave us the bill, but we just kept going back for more food. They really should put a plate limit on their all-you-can-eat.
Bryce and I rejoiced in our endorphined out state when we went into a laughing fit about sizzler selling their own steak sauce, and their "Not so salad-y, but not just salad, salad bar, but yet remaining a salad bar in spite of the non-salad, yet salad like appearance"... you had to be there. And then the steak sauce's "making average food since january 2000" thing. oh my. if only we were in a deluded state all of the time.
These pictures were a bitch to scan, compress, rotate and upload, but finally, here they are!!!
