Oooops!!! I missed a day!!! Haven't quite gotten the hang of this daily blog thing!!!

More shots of Mammoth Rock...this time from Lake George...

Lake Mamie

Lake Mamie is between Lake Mary and Horseshoe Lake...

Much smaller than Lake Mary, it's a lovely little spot...just above the Twin Lakes

Fishing is the highlight at Lake George...

Lake George seems to be the prime spot for fishing...

And if you're fishing for a retired gentleman...there seems to be plenty here!!!  

Ok...I'm stretchin' it!!!

Yep...another view of Mammoth Rock...

It's just so beautiful at every angle!!!

Mammoth Rock...

Mammoth Rock, originally named Monumental Rock is captured here on the eastern slope of what was originally known as Mineral Hill...now Red Mountain

Kind of looks like two hands in prayer pose...lends a bit of credence to this being God's Country!!!

Looking out over the valley...

Believe it or not, the Hubman had never been to Mammoth prior to his interview for chief...

He always thought that the road to Mammoth from 395 was long and windey, much like the road to 

Big Bear...

Little did he know how easy the drive is here...

Looking out over the valley...and if you look closely, you just might see Highway 395!!!

There's a reason Mammoth is called Mammoth Lakes...

The Twin Lakes at twilight...

I'll be on the other side of the Sierras this weekend...visiting with old friends and hanging out in another one of God's special places....Sequoia National Park...

Late afternoon at Rock Creek Lake...

We continued on our Sunday drive after lunch at Tom's Place and found 

Rock Creek Lake...

Still taking advantage of top-down weather...

The weather's starting to turn, so not much longer...

Stoppin' for lunch...

at Tom's Place...

no pretense here...

just good food, and a charmingly funky atmosphere. 

Be sure to stop by for their prime rib dinner special, 

Thursday and Saturday nights!!!

Maybe we'll see you there!!!

Cruzn' the Eastern Sierras...

So the Hubman and I took off yesterday afternoon for a drive...checking out our new surroundings...

First stop...McGee Creek...

Wow!!!  Perfect spot to bring the granddaughter's when they come up for their fall break!!!

The Hubman brought up his memories of fishing in a similar trout pond in Big Bear with his kids when they were young...definitely one of the first spots we'll bring the girls!!! 

Locals get a break...only $8.95 per pound for every fish we catch!!!

More of our walk along Lake Mary...

Our first stop at Lake Mary was the charming marina...

At the marina, you can rent boats of all types and sizes...

With a group or not...

Peaceful...and maybe some fresh fish for dinner...

Laurie's GOSP may have squirrel crossings...but in Mammoth....

Now, you've gotta love a Lodge that sports this sign at their dock...

And wouldn't you know...there were plenty of fishermen close by to confirm the sign!!!

And why not, with a view like this???

Miss Daisy and I walked a fair bit alongside Lake Mary today...we both got back home and took naps!!!
