An Abreviated Post.......

Today is May12th, Thursday, and I had planned to do a recap of our stay in Bishop tonight, but yesterday we got a call from the Lodge owner and asked if we could possibly start a couple of days early. Today we're packing up and moving up to Mammoth Lakes, CA. This is actually good, Mo and I both are ready to get back to work.

What I'm going to do is post some pics with a very brief comment and this will probably be the last post for a week or so.

On Tuesday we drove up to Mammoth Lakes to check the thrift store for snow clothes. There was a 30-40% chance of rain in Bishop and as we left town the clouds to the north, over ML were pretty dark. The forcast for there was light snow and rain mix. No problem. We got off the Hwy 395 onto the road to Mammoth Lakes and the first flakes of snow started hitting the windshield. When we came out of the thrift store it was snowing pretty good. We didn't expect much so we decided to get a burger before heading back.

Here's what it looked like when we came out, we'd only been in town about an hour and a half!

Looking around the parking lot, Mo took this shot. We were flippin!

She snapped this shot trying to show the snow on me but I had brushed some off before getting in.

As we're leaving the parking lot we realized it was sure enough snowing!

We started for Bishop before it got to bad, we figured it would quit when we got back to Hwy 395.

Well, It didn't! This is on the Hwy back. In some areas you couldn't see the car in front of you. When we got to the pass, The one where I came out of the trail run, it not only was snowing but it started hailing pea size hail. So now we had snow on the road and hail bouncing around!

 We made it back just fine and Bishop had even gotten a little rain.
Well cking the camera, these were the last pictures we had taken, so no more pics in our Bishop CA album. Now I had better get Mo from her book because we need to get packed up to head for Mammoth Lakes where we'll stay in the city for 3-4 weeks as we dig out the lodge and cabins, fix and repair as needed, stock them with sheets, towels etc and be ready to open on Memorial Day.
