Sierra Buttes - July 25, 2005

Three rigs - Ron, Gary and Nancy and I met at Blairsden for our trek though the Sierra Buttes area. Ron did an excellent job of putting togehter the route which led us from the trailhead near Johnsville over some rugged and scenic terrain to Sierra City on highway 49. Many thanks to Ron for providing many of the photos shown here.
