Memorial Day found us at the Upper Sage Flat campground along Big Pine Creek in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. This area is my personal favorite. I have been coming to different parts of the Sierra for most of my life. I don't think that Sandy shares my deep love of this area, mostly because of the lack of hookups. Boldlygo doesn't seem to mind however. Here she is in her camp spot.
My brother and his lovely wife were camped right across the access road from us. It's always fun to camp with friends and family. The last time we were all up here together, we went exploring a couple of old mine sites. We are explorers and love to see places where others have been.
We also visited the Laws Railroad museum. Following are a few pictures of the event. Mules Days, a yearly celebration, was taking place in Bishop and the Laws museum is just outside of that town. This is the remnant of the last narrow gauge railroad to operate in California. There is much to see and much to learn at the museum.
Back in Bishop, we stopped by a little shop and got a nice cup of coffee. It was kind of like Starbucks, but not quite as good. By "kind of like" I mean really expensive. Anyway, we then went over to Schott's for some fresh apple bread. Yum-yum!!
Arriving back at camp, we found snowy conditions. Hmmm . . . snow in May . . . it was a bit cold outside, but thanks to our trusty Boldlygo, we were snug and warm!!
