Tahoe to Bishop

The roads did not disapoint us. We drove through monitor pass which is a steep hike over the mountain via a narrow 2 lane road that is closed fall, winter and spring. There is still snow at the top of the peaks. The eastern slope dropped from 8300 ft to 5000 feet in 3 miles. The brakes smelled a little funny after that

We visited the ghost town of Bodie, a state run heritage that reminds us of the gold rush area and it's impact on settling the west.

From there to Mono lake, which could be the oldest lake in North America. It looks refreshing in the desert, but it's alkaloid and more saline than the dead sea.

The swim and cold beer in Bishop refreshed to the nth degree from this point on it's gong to be hot.
