War Dogs Monument dedication was awesome. We left-coasters in California even provide an earthquake for entertainment! With the rains, those of you not from California didn't get to see our beautiful mountain range that sweeps the horizon in a titanic circle. Mountains to the east (above the road), toward Palm Springs, are 14,000 elevation. During winter, snow blankets the top (eat your heart out east coast). The March Field Museum is near the freeway as the photo begins.
