SR 18 is a two lane road that winds its way around the mountain top...its other name is Rim of the World Highway. And at 6,000+ feet above sea level, it certainly felt like we were living at the top of the world. We drove the same two mile jog of road for 11 long weeks and the view from the van window never grew old. Some days we could see straight down to Redlands and San Bernardino through the hazy sky...
And some days the cities below were completely concealed by the clouds and it felt like we were living at the top of Olympus, hidden away from the rest of the world below.
With views like these, how could one ever grow tired of them? Cell service always cut out on the same stretch of road during the drive between camp and the house. It was as if the mountain was reminding us to look up from our phones, look around us and take it all in while we still had the chance.
I miss the mountain and feel forever changed after having lived there for these three short months. These photos don't do her any justice. I'm very thankful to have the memories of her beauty and to have been able to share it with so many friends.
