Mother Nature Forced Our Hand
(This was supposed to post yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, but mobile blogging hasn't been working)
We are in Lee Vining. We left Yosemite a day early due to the incoming storm. We crossed the Sierra's on Hwy 120, Tioga Pass. At 9945 feet, it's the highest Sierra crossing and often the first to be closed. They are expecting 1-2 feet of snow on the pass in the next 24 hours. Because of this, we decided to pass over a day early. We did not want to get stuck on the other side.
The drive over was beautiful. There is a six mile long seven percent grade that drops into Lee Vining. I left the truck in first gear and coasted down the mountain at about 25mph. The vistas were incredible! I will try to post some pictures, but the RV parks over here are not internet friendly, and the cell phone isn't working for some reason.
Tomorrow (Today) we are heading out to the Bodie Ghost town. It should be a lot fo fun. It's dry so far but *very* windy.
