I am currently heading up Highway 395 once again this time I will be camping up in the
Eastern Sierra last week I showed you around the town of Lone Pine and I showed you a campground
called Tuttle Creek we are hoping to camp at that Campground and then set up camp and
head north on Highway 395 visit Bishop hopefully Mammoth when I say we I mean myself and my
sister Jill she is Towing her little trailer behind me with birdie and this will be my
last trip in California before getting back on the road and heading up towards Montana

little goodbye to the Sierra for now I definitely plan on being back this year but uh this will

we've made it to our campsite we scored this beautiful site amazing views a far cry from
what it was like here on Memorial Day weekend we're going to go ahead and get my sister's
trailer and hitch and we're going to take a drive I do not have my trailer as you can
see it is in Utah currently I'll be picking it up soon
thank you
I've driven up and down Highway 395 what feels like hundreds of times and I never Tire of
it you drive through several Charming towns before you arrive in Mammoth Lakes such as
Lone Pine of course and then independence onion Valley one of the principal entry routes
to the John Muir Wilderness is accessed via the onion Valley Road which heads directly
west out of Independence this Trail takes hikers to the King's Canyon Sequoia National
Parks Independence is a popular resupply location for hikers trekking the 2 650 mile long Pacific
Crest Trail thank you
next up is the small town of Big Pine which has a couple of very popular barbecue joints
drive to Mammoth is absolutely stunning we do have a chance of thunderstorms there and
also in Lone Pine but the clouds have been very ominous and just really cool we can see
rain squalls it's made to drive so much more interesting we might see if we can go find
a little patch of snow for birdie to rub her nose in she loves that and there's going to
be a lot of snow there I think and that's one of the reasons we want to come up is just
to check out the snow levels however I think it has melted quite a bit since the big gnarly
snow from what I can tell there are some large walls of snow still it's going to be a while
before that melts off and it is a
Bishop is the largest populated place and only incorporated city in Inyo County there
are lots of awesome eateries here and several different hotels if camping is not your thing
now onto Mammoth Lakes thank you [Music]

we decided to make a pit stop at Comic Lake for a picnic lunch [Music]
[Music] [Laughter]
thank you
not a bad place for a picnic no

surprisingly the streets of Mammoth Lakes were free of snow they worked really hard
with this snow removal and I know that some has melted naturally
foreign [Music] well the old bus station is still buried here in Mammoth up here at Twin
Lakes
[Music]
thank you [Music]
the afternoon light on the mountain peaks was just gorgeous on the drive back to camp

we are back here at camp and what a gorgeous jaunt up Highway 395 that we had today going
all the way up to Mammoth it's about an hour and a half drive from here in Lone Pine that
it was well worth it we got to see Winter Wonderland still exists up there up at Twin
Lakes and still quite a bit of snow at the higher elevations the drive is just absolutely
stunning with all the clouds that are in the sky and kind of the ominous weather we got
a little you know a few sprinkles here uh just behind us when we were pulling up into
camp we had a rainbow and the Sun is sitting behind the mountain so I think tonight we're
just going to relax here at camp we might have a fire and just chill out it's just been
a very relaxing day if you didn't know it already I absolutely love this area it's one
of my favorite places on Earth these are world-class mountains no matter where you're from and
they're just absolutely beautiful I'm excited to wake up here tomorrow morning amongst this
beauty Brody's having a blast she's running around and she just chased a big jackrabbit
and she's got a big smile on her face so she loves being out here too

good morning it is a beautiful morning here in Lone Pine it's already getting a little
bit warm it was gorgeous last night I tried to get a night shot of the stars but the moon
was so bright that you really couldn't see the stars it was warm I had my sleeping bag
but I had it open and I was super comfortable did not need a heater in any way shape or
form and it's just a lovely morning here Birdie's been having a blast fleshing out all the bushes
in the area and today we're going to probably take a drive up to the portal up to Mount
Whitney portal I went up last week but I couldn't find any parking because it was Memorial Day
weekend I think we'll be fine this morning and it should be really beautiful up there

pre-made this and very easy don't have to cook anything I love egg salad here's my sister's
little trailer looking as cute as ever
