A good drive again today through various terrain starting in the Nevada desert from Vegas this morning and heading north through death valley which is nothing but heat sand and cactus !! Then heading through the mountains for some 70 miles upto about 9000 feet at one point weaving up and down (and don't look down) through near switchbacks and eventually stopping at a little town and a roadside diner for lunch and then on another 60 miles to mammoth creek - a ski resort in the winter and hunting etc in the summer
A bit cooler here to but as not to alarm us at all the lady on reception told us all about the resort and finished off by adding that we should not leave any foodstuffs in the car as the wildlife may be attracted to it !!! - mainly bears at night !
Anyway more later when I've had the chance to explore the town
Mammoth lakes seems like an Austrian ski resort - first time for a week I've had to wear trousers and a jumper !! - it seems a bit quiet at the moment but a good hotel and one main bar ! - tomorrow its over to Jamestown via the mountain pass through Yosemite (yogie bear country) a little gold mining town.
