There is a stretch of road going down from our ranch toward Columbia where the road runs along the gorge of the south fork of the Stanislaus River, where the river is 2400-2600 feet below the road. - One day I was bring some laborers down, and they had never been that way before. One of them got sick and tossed his lunch in his lap!
Oh my goodness. I don’t know why, but I never associate CA with mountains. You’ve got the highest point in the lower 48 though. I never knew that until the other day.
