from the Desert to the Pacific Ocean
a tough climb out of SLC

but the view was faszinationg
even better in the night
chilly morning on top of the mine

times they are a´changing
long stretch of nothing ahead
and the gas station is out of buisness for a while
the BIG attraction of Ely
wondeful sunsets out there
elcrticity into the nowhere
one of the ore interesting plants out there
long stretches of road
saltflats everywhere
and a mountain crossing every day
no cars around
the border of Nevada
Gasstation the simple way
one of the long grades
stereotype the white boy...

Postboxes in a little post office along the road
Equipment left to rot...
desperate landscape

On top of the Pass
Yosemite! what a neat place
granite everywhere
on the east it went foggy
El capitan the mighty... just compare with the RV´s in front
It´s a dangerous place...
trees find a spot on every rock
mystical in the morning
peaceful spots all around
on my way up
El capitan on the right
Halfdome in the center
the path is winding an partly really exposed
on top of Sentinel Dome
view back on the day I left, bye bye Valley
Mariposa on my way out
camping in the dry meadows of the valley
no green around anymore
Merced with it´s grand hotels of the old days...
The Theater
Pesticides everywhere
they like to keep things
looks a little bit like a concentration camp... poor pigs
the good old mercedes... left behind
lots of cattles around
the winding road up to Mount Hamilton
misty forests up ther
the top with the lick observatory
not much to see from there
