Mammoth Trip - July 2-5 2010
Mammoth Adventure! Every year we celebrate 4th of July, and I like to do so by going out and appreciating the country I live in. There's no better way to do that than to go to Mammoth and have some fun! This trip was going to be just Adele and myself, since my parents were in Catalina, and some of Adele's friends weren't able to join us. That's alright, I was excited to show her Mammoth for the first time. Friday, July 2, 2010 Friday afternoon we tried to beat the traffic of the Bay Area and left around 3:15pm. We crossed the Central Valley and were soon into the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Don Pedro Reservoir looked nice. I was wishing I had my jetski to take it for a spin on the lake, but I knew better things awaited in higher elevations. We pulled through the gates at Yosemite, as I 'donated' $40 dollars for a yearly pass to the park. I suppose its worth it for how beautiful it is, but that's another story. Anyways, it wasn't long before ...
