Tahoe Lupine

Every summer the lupines bloom all around Lake Tahoe.  Although the recent drought conditions have changed the timing and location of the lupine blooms.

Pacifica Pier

“Pacifica Pier is a fishing pier in Pacifica, in western San Mateo County, California. The L shaped pier spans out into the Pacific Ocean for a quarter mile from the City of Pacifica.

The quarter mile pier was built in 1973 as part of the city of Pacifica’s sewer system. It carries a 28-inch (710 mm) pipe that continues one quarter mile offshore through which sewage was pumped into the Pacific Ocean. This ended with the creation of a new water treatment facility in 2004.”   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacifica_Pier

Yosemite Gate

“Not just a great valley, but a shrine to human foresight, the strength of granite, the power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra.  First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.”  http://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm

Sunset, No Hands Bridge Auburn California

No Hands Bridge is one of the last major landmarks along the Western States 100 mile run:

The Western States ® 100-Mile Endurance Run is the world’s oldest and most prestigious 100-mile trail race.

Starting in Squaw Valley, California near the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics and ending 100.2 miles later in Auburn, California, Western States, in the decades since its inception in 1974, has come to represent one of the ultimate endurance tests in the world.
Following the historic Western States Trail, runners climb more than 18,000 feet and descend nearly 23,000 feet before they reach the finish line at Placer High School in Auburn. In the miles between Squaw Valley and Auburn, runners experience the majestic high country beauty of Emigrant Pass and the Granite Chief Wilderness, the crucible of the canyons of the California gold country, a memorable crossing of the ice-cold waters of the main stem of the Middle Fork of the American River, and, during the latter stages, the historic reddish-brown-colored trails that led gold-seeking prospectors and homesteading pilgrims alike to the welcoming arms of Auburn.
