Mammoth Creek Inn Mammoth Lakes

... After leaving the lake we headed a mile down the road to the Panum Crater which was formed around 650 years ago by a volcano. We (Kathryn) decided to walk around the crater (click for clip), I wasn't too keen on the idea as it looked way to big to entertain but now I'm married I need to do as I'm told (well I need to appear that I am). The walk wasn't as bad as I thought, it was only a mile or so, but the ...

... to the new shoreline in those days.<br><br>Because of the receding waters, the saline water (salt and bicarbonate of soda) somehow (I don&#8217;t know how), form these Tufas as they recede. Therefore, the highlight of this area is the Tufa formations on the lake. They are very pretty rock formations on the lake. Certainly makes for great photographs! Towards the shoreline, where the water continues to recede, we can actually see the Tufas forming ...

... confusing!<br><br>We wished we could have been there during business hours because they have a nice looking visitor's center, but alas it was late and after three weeks of travel we had to start heading for home. (Well, technically at this ...

... I thought it might be the answer. The company had a long history and it might help to stimulate my system and help me to exercise and lose weight. Well I should've checked out another Hydroxycut review, because obviously the one I read was dead wrong. It gave me false hope, when the reality is that Hydroxycut only gave me the shakes ...

I found this park...Well, Mike brought me here once to bike and I've since returned to hike sans the bike. I've discovered my favorite trail is the Meadows trail, which ends in a nice 1 hour ( well it takes me an hour) hike up a mountain to give a spectacular view of Laguna Beach and the ...

Today I went and checked out Yosemite NP. The drive up into Yosemite was quite nice and took a couple of hours from Napa. In Yosemite there are a number of hiking trails ranging in distance from short to a couple of hours long. Alternatively, if your game enough, you can try and climb up El Capitan. There were heaps of people in Yosemite so I mainly just did a drive around tour stopping occassionally for some of the shorter hikes and to check out Yosemite Falls. Unfortunately due ...

... up!! That means sleeping somewhere up in a crevice or they have these hammock things that they can clip on to the rock and sleep in.. After lunch we did another hike up to the top of Vernon Falls, it was great walk and some amazing scenery. We saw a wild cat and quite a few squirrels and chipmunks. My legs were sore before I even started due to the last couple of days of walking and bike riding so by the end they felt like jelly. We got back to the hostel around 8 and ...

... gambling is a cheap drinking option..... Today we packed the HHR (no easy task...it's going to have to go back in Vegas) and headed south down 395 thru more high desert with barren mountains either side until we came to Lake Mono - amazing view from the highway looking down on the road by the lake with the Sierra Nevada in the distance. Another 30 mins and we were in Mammoth Lakes which must be 7,000ft - it is primarily a ski resort but also gets plently of ...

... sure where that was located as it was not marked (Kevin said he felt the earth move but I just said it was gas). We arrived in San Simeon on the coast around 4 pm. We unpacked the car at the hotel and started driving up the coast on Hwy 1. Driving down Hwy 1 we came across an Elephant Seal viewing area. We pulled over and took all our camera gear and started snapping pictures of these interesting animals. There had ...

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's greatest gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of one's self and appreciating what is noble and loving in another. ____________________________ skai I challenge you to a game of trivia!
