Today was a travel day. We pulled up stakes at Minden and continued south on US-395 back into California. We were at about 5200 foot elevation in Minden but the road south wanders up and down some hilly terrain, crossing some passes at elevations above 7200 feet. Charlotte pulled our 12,000 pound fifth wheel up each pass without hardly any speeds under 55 mph.
We passed by Mono Lake with its strange tufa formations. We shot through Lee Vining, about where the road starts to descend toward June and Mammoth Lakes. We pulled into the McGee Creek RV Park (elevation 7000′) which shows its address in Mammoth Mountain but is really in a town called Crowley Lake. From our site we can look across a giant valley of grass on one side and the rather abrupt Sierra Range out the other. It is very pretty here.
We got a few pictures during the drive today. See some of them by clicking here
