Long Beach to Reno

Long Beach to Reno was an amazing drive. California has some of the most diverse landscapes in the world, and that's easy to see on a drive like this. My favorite part was going through the Owens Valley. Toward the west is a view of 14,495' Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the lower 48 states. Toward the east (on the other side of the mountains) is Death Valley, 282' below sea-level and the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere.







We drove to Reno because my brother was in a bowling tournament at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno. That's an interesting place. Imagine a giant bowling alley with stadium seating, even luxury boxes. It's where many of America's biggest bowling events are held.
