Lone Pine - Mammoth Lakes

We decide to move on the next day even though it is a nice camp - we snap a couple of pics on the way out.

We cruise into Bishop and find a tyre shop where Daryl arranges for a new tyre and puts the spare back onto the rear of the RV.  The owner, Paul, was impressed enough to offer Daryl a job.  Then we head back down town, find a park in the back block and walk down to the RV repair shop at the other end of town for the hot water bung that broke the other day.  We find the correct part and head back to the RV - hitting the road again, looking for the train museum but somehow didn't find it.....?

After a few more miles of up hill climbing, we pull over in the scenic overview and have lunch - not a bad view back over where we have come from.  We arrive in camp and set up with a few issues, having to unhitch and then stretch all our leads and pipes to the max in order to connect up after some maneuvering to find where we could park and reach them all - not a helpful camp at all. 

 All settled in, we head out to have a look around - first stop we head back to Convict Lake which we passed about 8 miles back.


When get there, the wind is blowing a gale and the temperature is very cool.

A very popular spot - party boats for rent and lots of  fishing.  Next we head back into town and up through the village into the mountains in search of the Lakes.  Snow still on the tops of the mountains.

Back to camp for dinner.  The temperature is dropping - weather is for gales until 11pm and when we take a walk after tea, I check the thermometer on the outside of our RV - 45F or 10C - just like being at home except the sky's still blue and the suns out!  We spot a Blue Jay on our walk - pretty.
