Day 61, California, Here We Are

Our last state line was crossed today, a very momentous occasion, which as the following pictures demonstrate was a solemn moment for us both:

We are now in the Sierra Nevadas and are ready to tackle our last mountain pass of the trip tomorrow! We are a little non-plussed at least by the foothills of the Sierras, as they seem to look exactly like the 100 other mountain ranges we just crossed in Nevada. We are now finished with our brief encounter with civilization where these squarish things called "houses" and these tall, alive things called "other people" exist and are headed instead to comingle with bears. But as soon as we have descended from the mountains we'll be back into it all and closer to the Pacific than ever.
