Road Trip 2

Last time you left us headed towards Tioga Pass. 

It had been very warm down in the valley but at almost 10,000 feet, it was quite chilly.

About one-third of the way up the photograph below is the road we were headed for.

Here we are on the road.

Our first view of Mono Lake.

Our hotel at Lee Vining, the nearest town to Mono Lake. Lee Vining is a town of 300 people which consists mostly of hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops. It was a nice town.

The hotel was old but clean and had character.

Our room. Not fancy but the bed was comfortable and clean my top priorities.

We ate at Bodie Mike's. Good food and service. I don't usually eat at BBQ restaurants but they had a veggie burger.

The next day we drove to Mono Lake to look at the tufa formations. 

A tufa monster.

From Mono Lake we head north to an old Ghost Town called Bodie. The last part of the journey was via a dirt road.

Bodie is a State Park and only the minimum is being done to preserve the town.

I love the textures of old buildings.

An outhouse.

This was my favourite item in the museum.
