Ok well I didn't literally pass out, but I have never been over sooooooo many passes in one day.

I was invited to go to the top of Mount Patterson which is at 11,673' elevation in thde Sweetwater mountain range. I drove up from Arnold CA. thru NV and then up to the top of Mt. Patterson which is the highest peak you can drive to. Then back down and did a few side trails and then back to Arnold. So each of these passes I had to go over to get there and then when I returned I had go back over each one a second time. So that's why I was passed out :)
