Andy, me (in my fashion disaster outfit), Michael, Carol, Sandy!, and Linda.

Sag stop.

Sugar pine cones. These weren't even the largest ones I saw, just the largest ones within reach when I went to take this picture. (Second sag stop, near the peak of Donner Pass.)

Still climbing to Donner Pass, looking down on a high valley.

The road down the east side of Donner Pass can be closed in the winter, because you will die otherwise.

The descent from Donner Pass, looking toward Donner Lake. It's switchbacks all the way down.
