But 1998 was probably the best, and the contrast from desert to mountain there is amazing. From up on Telescope Peak you also look west to the heart of the Sierra Nevada--to Mt.

(Maybe next spring, since spring is the best time there and you've missed it this year). <br /><br />As for L'Amour--good storyteller, but in many ways a poor writer. I enjoy the yarns from time to time partly for nostalgia--I was nuts over those books when in Jr. High (while my friends were reading the most innocent of the Harlequin romances).Rebecca M.
