Time For A Little R and R

There he is the Woolly Mammoth...
he lives in one of my favorite places Mammoth Lakes, CA.

Mammoth is home to what seems like a bazillion lakes and streams...
it is absolutely beautiful, everywhere you go.

The weather in late summer is perfect.


Look how clear the water is!


We stay here. Convict Lake campground. It's secluded, quiet, there is a lake, a general store, cabins, a nice restaurant, boat launch and good fishing (not that I REALLY care about the fishing), but it's a beautiful lake.

...here we are, somewhere out there. Nice yes?

Buuuuut.....

Seriously?!
Sorry quaint little campground, I am staying here next go 'round.

...campfire....check...

picnic in the forest....check...


cooking facilities....check...

Any who, a girl can dream. We will be enjoying the Eastern Sierra's in a few short day's. I must now go and pack groceries, clothes, bedding, down time entertainment, etc...

Quick disclaimer: If you are of the criminal element and are thinking about a little breaking and entering while we are gone, please note you will be greeted by fully armed house sitters and a territorial pit bull. Just kidding about the fully armed thing, sort of. (I don't want big brother or some idiot to think I am making threats on the Internet.)

That is all. ;)

Day Trips



Chino Hills State Park consists of over 65 miles of trails and 14,102 acres the park is managed as an open space habitat where all plant and animal life are protected. Chino Hills is vitally important as a refuge to many species of plants, and as a link between natural areas essential to the survival of many animal species. ( California State Parks website)

This is right in our backyard and we have never visited. Shame.

Visit your local parks. It's affordable, no long commute, stay the day or make it a quick camping overnight stay.

Get out and enjoy the weekend!
