   The White Mountain range on the east side of the Sierra is home to the oldest known continuously growing organism in the world - a 4,700-year-old bristlecone pine named Methuselah. Join Lloyd for a three-day exploration of the ancient bristlecone pine forests. Dendrochronology, the study of growth rings in trees, and historical aspects of this area will be discussed. Participants will caravan from Big Pine on dirt roads, some rather steep, to Grandview Camp-ground. Day hikes of one to two miles will be taken at 10,000' and above.
