Where in the Sierra's do you live?
We used to own a cabin near Chimney Rock, just outside of Wilsonia, near King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, and I spent years working at a camp near Stony Creek Lodge in the summers.
I loved hiking and camping in that area.

I live in Twain Harte. It's on Sonora pass. Elevation 3,800 feet. Perfect four seasons. We're north of Yosemite, and east of Modesto.
