Bristlecone Rally

SCDC's epic 900 mile, 3 day summer rally from Big Sur to the White Mountains and back. We crossed California, climbed the Southern Sierras and first encountered the largest trees- the Giant Sequoias, with our finish line being the oldest living things on the planet: the twisted 4,000 year old Bristlecone Pine Trees that live at over 10,000 feet. This trip was brought to you by Google Earth...road names withheld for no good reason. Enjoy!
