Day -1: Ice Age Adventure!



A scant hour south of Mono Lake, is the town of Mammoth Lakes, where I stayed the night. Coincidentally, there's this little ski resort located just outside of town. Naturally, I had to investigate. ;)

Not much science, but definitely a bit of R&R before the expedition starts tomorrow evening. I even got to see Devil's Postpile and Yosemite, from the back side. Devil's Postpile is the dark parallelogram about a third of the way up the picture on the right. If you look closely, through the haze, you can also see the back side of Half-Dome in Yosemite, about two thirds of the way up the left side of the picture, past the second range.

Sorry for the small pictures, that's how it goes. You'll have to ask me in person to see the full-size ones!

Now, to head for the hot tub, and get ready for another day of driving tomorrow!
