California, 2005

After our trip to Vancouver we stopped in at San Francisco to visit my Dad and friends
before getting on a plane back to Melbourne. We started out by going to our cabin
in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The Dardenelles on the road to Sonora Pass, the best road across the Sierra Nevada.

Donnell resevoir.

Doctors with mountains.

My gorgeous Dad with companion Betty.

Wonderful gorge on the way to Sonora Pass.

More gorge.

Fabulous spot.

Levitt Peak with the first dusting of winter snow.

Looking east from Sonora Pass to the desert Basin and Range region of Nevada.

Fantastic peak guarding the pass.

About 3000 metres high, Betty, Dr. Speed, my wonderful Dad, and equally wonderful Jeffrey.

Levitt Meadow on the east side of the pass.

Lunch!!

Jeff and Harriet in Muir Woods, a redwood forest north of San Francisaco.

Dr. Dork with his best mate Paul, over 30 years of amazing friendship, exploration, and love.
And there is my handsome godson surfer guy, Seth. He is turning into a fine young man. And Mary
(aka Dr. Sanders), gorgeous as ever, and then there is some dog. We had to visit the dog because
Dr. Speed was lonely for her boy, Dillon the Golden, left home in Sorrento.

Jeffrey, on our last day in California, got to visit his cousin Dawn. She burst into tears
when she saw him at her office in San Francisco. He is loved (of course).
