Even The Valley was beautiful 

who let some hipster wanna-be into the Whitney Portal? 

If it looks familiar.. its because it is always on TV 

Soon after, he was doing push-ups on a random rock 

Eli found the Ephedra and started chewing on it... 

Best recording studio part II - singing 'Plants: You Got Served"  

Eli loves Mt Whitney. 

Look! It's Mount Whitney! (i hate Mt Whitney) 

Sometimes it is so pretty it doesnt even seem real. 

the Artesian Well.. a constant stream of 80 degree water... great for summer evenings, not great when it is 42 degrees out. 

I miss Bishop sometimes.. such an amazing place. It's right at the head of the Owens Valley in Inyo county. 

the Sierras were getting slammed by a blizzard 

Deep Springs Valley - more like a hole in the ground. 

I feel sorry for these cows! 

DANG WASHOUT! 

my poor paint job! 

the dust storm chased us out of Death Valley 

some kind of Phacelia 

canyon narrows 

We drove until we found water. 

Driving around in this wash seemed too fun to be legal.. but it was! 

I don't even know what this is.. but it was really pretty and had two-tone flowers.. perhaps something in the Onagraceae 

It appears to be the Funeral Mountain Sage, but if so, it's in the wrong mountain range. 

A tiny desert poppy 

I don't know what this is, but it has neat pods.
