Carson Pass
I crossed the Nevada state-line in South Lake Tahoe.
I was back in California.
My next hurdle was the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
A major winter snowstorm was coming. A few of the mountain passes were already closed.
I continued south on Rt. 89 to Grover Hot Springs State Park.
Grover Hot Springs has geothermal pools open to the public for wading.
A road crew informed me the pass on Rt. 4 was closed.
I doubled-back on Rt. 89. I reached Rt. 88 and headed west over the Sierras.
The grade to the Kit Carson Pass was steep.
Luckily, the Carson Pass was clear. Just a little ice on the road.
I entered the El Dorado National Forest.
The GPS started to let me down. It didn't label a reservoir.
I passed through some ice and slush, reaching Kirkwood Meadows.
