Arch Rock along the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway, Sierra National Forest, California

 This is the rather generically named Arch Rock along the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway in the Sierra National Forest.  This byway is east of Oakhurst, California and south of Yosemite National Park.  Rick is crouched behind it in the first photo and we're both in front of the arch in the second to give you an idea of its size.  This arch is made of granodiorite and has a span of 28 feet, a height of 3-1/2 feet, a thickness of 17 inches, and a width of 26 inches.  It made us think of a big, exposed pipe or a big lathe.

We've produced a video about out visit to this arch.  You can see it on our YouTube Channel at:

El Capitan and the Big Dipper by moonlight, May 2018

 Bob was looking through his photos when he happened upon this photo that he took of El Capitan by moonlight.  The Big Dipper is in the upper left of the image.  He took this picture in May 2018.

El Capitan is one of the largest granite cliffs in the world and is a draw for rock climbers from around the world.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
