Thanks Florian for the comments. The shot of the Milky Way I have wanted to do for a long time. It was dark enough at the campground that it worked.

They are peak lists from the Sierra Club. I do not officially belong to the Sierra Club but find their lists an interesting peak bagging challenge for southern California

DPS = Desert Peaks Section
HPS = Hundred Peaks Section
SDC = San Diego County List
14ers = CA 14ers in the Sierra (a goal I have had for awhile but have not made to much progress)

Most of these lists are centered in Southern California thats why I have chose them

I also enjoyed your awesome pictures, video and trip report. I also used to get altitude sick when I went too fast. No danger of that now :)

Here is a link to the Sierra Club (if you like rules and formality)

Hi Cy

I dont have any interest in joining the Sierra Club just completing their southern California lists.
