Better than some restaurants I've been to as well! Yes, the sun becomes our enemy out there - there is little escape. We wear long pants and long sleeves even if it is hot :( Christina - thanks! Mrs. E - they're up now! Rosa - it really is a gorgeous place to visit. Hope you'll come out and see it some day! Elizabeth - thanks. It wasn't as successful as I had hoped. I need more practice! Debbie - they're up on the photo blog! Mary - thanks! Jennywenny - oh, it can be difficult traveling 395 sometimes. But the area is gorgeous and definitely worth a second chance! Pam - thank you :) I know, the Mobil station is such a delightful surprise! Marianne - hey chica! I keep thinking of you hiking around the Sierra and building trails :) Cindy - yes, the tent is small because we hate to carry a boatload of weight when we backpack :) Small profile is also more efficient at shedding wind. Your camp kitchen sounds intriguing! Michelle - thanks! Chez Us - Oh, I imagine you guys have spent a good deal of time up that way. Isn't it awesome? I can't ever get enough of the Eastern Sierra. Tony - thanks, my dear! Graeme - oh, you are too funny. It's maddening. Why hasn't anyone fixed the internet slowass problem?? :) I like to think of the colors as popsicle flavors, myself! Katie - I can envision you sitting out there listening to folks after a day of climbing! Fun times, no? We have to get together out there and play. Alexa - thank you! Tartelette - you may be disappointed (I was!) :( Dana - I'm sure the places you were at were far more remote and probably not as dry :) WoRC - about $30... still, the fish tacos were GOOD. It really does call to you, doesn't it. I love the Eastern Sierra. LOVE IT! Gwendomama - we haven't eaten in Mammoth much (good to know that we weren't missing out!). Yeah, Jeremy said the tacquitos were nothing to write home about. Mark – you are so damn funny ;) The food there is amazingly good for a gas station.

Mammoth has NOTHING to eat. I should have warned you though - stay away from the 'lobster' taquitos.....the only thing matt toomey didn't get right. the caesar steak salad though? WELL worth the drive. THAT PLACE is MY FAVORITE east side restaurant (whoa nellie deli). Mammoth has NOTHING to eat.

Bet that was a pricey gas station lunch, huh? About $40? The Eastern Sierra is so magnificent and you've captured it beautifully. I get goosebumps when I see the spiked peaks of the Eastern Sierra's and the high Sierra lakes. It feels like home. I totally agree that food tastes better when you’re backpacking.

Cool. BTW, I could eat one of those fish tacos right now. I’m just back from Denali National Park in Alaska and there are some parts of the park that look very much like the area you two explored.
