Up in the High Sierras

Thursday night we went for mexican food and margaritas and decided that we would not elope but maybe just get engaged instead.

Friday we picked up our backcountry permit and decided to make it a honeymoon trip. I love this door at the courthouse. Just don't use a fictitious name for your marriage license.
Getting mentally prepared (and hydrated) before finding a minister in Lone Pine, California. The Alabama Hills Cafe serves bottomless strawberry lemonade for $2.50.
Beverly (owner of the flower shop, photographer and witness), Scott, myself and Bob, the minister. When she couldn't reach Bob by telephone, Beverly walked to his house and woke him up from a nap to officiate our ceremony.

Off to the honeymoon suite at Muir Lake.
My wife makes the BEST instant oatmeal!

This cliff looked very Patagonian to me (view to the northwest, husband for scale)

Scott and the ergonomic rock.
Sunbathing in the high sierras



And just to keep this post on topic with the original intent of this blog, I've signed Scott and I up for the 2009 BCBR.
