LonePine CA – We are heading north on US 395 – Great road and not much traffic. In Lonepine we toured the Alabama Hills (beautiful rock hills where many western movies have been filmed) Mt. Whitney is located here although it doesn’t really stand out as there is whole range of nearly 14,000 ft mountains. It is beautiful here.
May 17th
On the way north, we stopped and toured the
Manzanar WWII Japanese Interment camp. Very impressive – not necessarily America’s best moment, but history was made here. We stopped in Mammoth Lakes and spent 2 nights. What a beautiful location. They are still skiing here. Several of the roads around here are still closed due to the snow. We drove to twin lakes (beautiful waterfall), Mono lake (to see the “tufas”), June lake (a small little town nestled at the foot of the Sierra Mountain range – I can’t imagine any location being more beautiful)
Late May
It’s cold here in Sunriver! The highs are in the 50’s and the nights are in the 30’s - none of the other RV’ers are here yet. We may have arrived too early in the season. After a week of cold weather, we transitioned into some rainy weather L When we got here, we found a tree that had fallen during the winter. Miraculously it snapped off about 5 feet up, fell so close to the pump house that it scrapped off paint – but no damage to anything! After chopping up the downed tree, Mike set to work refinishing the deck. The winter was pretty hard on the deck but after his hard work – it now looks great again. May 29th, we drove to The Dalles for Anna’s baptism and a BBQ at Bonnie & Darryl’s. We also drove to Portland for a day trip and Mike played in an American General golf tournament. We went to dinner with Dick and Rosemary Allen, played golf and had dinner at Nan and John Williamson’s and we were pleased to have Ed and Betsy Dingeldy stop by and spend the night with us! The weather is now in the 60’s and it is the Beautiful Sunriver that we remembered.
