... clip 1 clip 2). It was strange seeing the gulls paddling on the top of the lake, they looked like they were floating on the surface because of the high salinity. With the underwater springs and calcium in the water, tufa rock is formed which is what can be seen in the pictures (or this movie). The tufa would normally be below the surface but because the lake is shrinking due to some of the feeds being ...

... not into bird-watching) as they feed on the flies. The water levels used to be about 45 feet higher than they currently are, which I found really amazing, as this “old” water level was only as recent as 1941! So much of the water has been diverted out of the lake! I think the difference in the water levels works out to be about 0.5miles walking distance from the old water level to the new water level. So we would definitely have had to ...

... several types of nothingness) we arrived at our destination, Tanopah. I wish we had taken more pictures of Tanopah, we managed to capture one and a movie clip that sums up the place nicely. The sat. nav. took us down a road that was far too small for the RV, the only place we found to turn it around was a turnout (layby) that had a car on it's roof covered in bullet holes, see the attached picture and for movie click here . After this ...

... as much on recording any info.<br><br><br>That is a limited list of our gear, gives you the basics. The most important thing is to be safe and have the tools that we need. Next we tried to find lightweight solutions to these items. for instance we didn't need a six inch knife blade, a two inch was perfect. We didn't need an eight pound mountaineering tent, a pound and a half tarp was perfect and had plenty of ventilation. <br><br>I ...

--------------------------------------- ---------------- Stupid Thing(s) of the Day (if you don't understand, DON'T ASK!) 9:35 AM We are *******. We thought we made it around the 2 mile trail through the Mariposa Grove only to find out we never made it beyond the lower loop. Don wrote a new song about being Dorks in "Yos-mite" and sang it repeatedly to me. --------------------------------------- -------- We had a great ...

... the time of year I was visitng the area, there no was water coming over the falls so I was a little bit disappointed.<br><br>By the time I got to Mammoth Lakes it was starting to get dark so I found a hotel and went to a nearby bar for some pizza and beer. I made a slight mistake ordering my first beer as they ended up bringing me a massive jug of beer and it cost me $16! By the time I had a couple more regular sized beers I was pretty full so I just went back to my hotel room.

Chapter 3 - Part 2 So it was supposed to be a 90 minute drive south to the Wild Animal Park but because LA and its traffic are retarded it ended up taking 4+ hours which someone ruined our mood for the day. The highway was a parking lot at 1pm on a Saturday !!!!! And FINALLY when it sped back up we found that the slow down was for nothing which was infuriating!! No ambulance, or cops, pull-overs, famous car chases, accident, shooting, nothing! It was a ...

Ok, so we just missed the earthquake, we've had the fire scares, we've had the wake up call about the bears, we've got altitude sickness, Tegs hurt her thumb and Io jammed his finger. Nothing else can go wrong, can it ????? Well, Lyn, Tegz and I have been really ill. We don't know whether it's altitude sickness, or whether it's the flu. It's got flu like symptoms, like aching all over, loss of energy etc, but the shortness of breath etc makes me think it's more ...

... replaced. I think when I left San Diego a few weeks after my gram left us a part of the grief was left here. Frozen in time for me to pick up as I drove down the ninety-four. It chokes me. five years, I was a child. Wandering around San Diego on the back of a sailors Harley having the time of my life working the worst gig I've ever had and generally pretending that I would be a Bohemian beach chic for the rest of my life. One minute, and just for ...

We started our day with a beautiful drive back to Yosemite. We are staying in Oakhurst which is about 16 miles south of the southern entrance to Yosemite. We decided to go to the Mariposa Groves. This grove is home to the Giant Sequoia trees. They say that these trees are not the oldest or tallest trees in the world but they are bigger than any living thing I have seen. These Sequoias are believed to be nearly 3000 years old. The average height is ...
