Picture of the Day: The Mountains Were Calling

Picture of the Day: Mount San Jacinto
Bill Bennett submitted this photo and note: “We were eastbound out of the LA basin in our SOCATA Trinidad TB-20 when the snow-covered Mount San Jacinto was off to our right.

Another fun trip from Texas to northern California with a stop at Catalina Island plus another stop in the LA area.”
