    The lady and I were just talking about heading up that way and figured one of you went up recently. Itching to get out - probably take a trip this weekend or next somewhere.

    Well, hell...

    We didn't make it very far this way, and then ended up getting stuck about 6 miles away on the other route and ended up turning back.

    Anyone gone anywhere the past couple weeks? We're hoping to head up somewhere this weekend - I know the snow is still an issue at a lot of places. Probably go somewhere Friday after work until Sunday.

    I was in the Eastern Sierra this weekend. Bishop area on Fri/ Sat. The Range of Light always delivers that high alpine amazing.

    It's always such a stark contrast in places like Bishop, Joshua Tree, and other towns where there's all these incredible natural surroundings that define those places, but the towns themselves are economically depressed and it shows.

    Nothing like seeing a night sky overloaded with stars and planets, though. And nothing like sleeping in the back of the truck when those E Sierra winds really start howling.

    If anyone's headed out that way in the next couple weeks, they just opened Monitor Pass.

    WTF? Nobody ever PMs me when they are in town. Lol


    Just move here. I did. Lol

    Economically depressed? Mammoth is having a huge influx of money since the buyout. I'm a carpenter and get paid better then most guys swinging a a hammer in any city. It's all about your skill set as far as making a living in Bishop goes. That's true anywhere you go though.

    Oh snap, I'm down there a few times a year. Next time I'll drop you a line! That taco truck by the O'Reilley's was legit!

    Mammoth is a resort town which is a totally different can of worms. Lots of LA people and LA money. I always get a kick of seeing all those private jets sitting there at the airport.

    I can fly fish but I prefer to huck mini-jigs on 2lb test with my nine foot jig rod. I fish a lot and used to be a fly purist. Then I decided I like catching fish. Lol

    A couple three of us headed there this Thursday, May 2. Rest on Friday. Oak Flat CG. Fishing, wheeling, shooting, working on stoves/lanterns on the agenda. Three should have Tacos.

    If you ever head up there keep me in mind. A fishing trip, though I'm not the best, sounds like a good time. Really I'd just like to camp in that area again, it's been a while.
