Mammoth Lakes is a great mountain town nestled in the Sierra Mountains. Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to explore it as much as we would have liked. It was more of a "catch up" stop for us doing some laundry, shopping and spending time at the library for some school work. The two nights we camped out were wet, cold (in the mid 30's) and windy. The third night was forecasted to drop down to 30 degrees so we decided to find a bit of respite and got a hotel room for a warm shower, a hot tub, a bed and some free wifi. It's amazing how good it feels when these things are not the ordinary!
We did get out for an afternoon and toured the "Lakes" of Mammoth (a few of them at least). This place is well known for it's mountain biking, unfortunately we did not get a chance to explore any of it. Brad and Gayle did get to ride a small part of the amazing bike path that is a huge network around town, all the way up the mountain and around many of the lakes while the boys tried their luck at fishing.

| Lake George with Crystal Craig towering above. Notice the bear boxes at all the campsites. All the campsites have them. No food, lotion, bug spray, medicine, hand sanitizer, wrappers..... can be left in the car any place in the Sierra's. |
And of course Asa found the skatepark in town: The Volcomn Brothers Skatepark. This may be the biggest one yet!
All caught up on the travels... off to Lonesome Canyon today for some climbing, through Death Valley tomorrow and into Vegas for the weekend to visit with Scelzina, Diego and Sebastian.
