40. I love the Sierra Foothills!

My happy place is anywhere in the Eastern Sierra, but I love the Western Slope as well. My preferred getaway is anywhere on Hwy 395 from Olancha up to Bridgeport and beyond. I make regular trips to Lone Pine, June Lake, Mono Lake and Bishop, but my trips have been cancelled due to wild fires in recent years. I've been to Yosemite, Sequoia (Three Rivers), Shaver Lake, Kings Canyon, Placerville and other spots as well. California is a beautiful place.
