A little late getting a trip report up, but better late than never eh? WARNING: This will be heavy on pictures, especially of my rig. First trip with the new camper and my girlfriend called me obsessed! haha I'm sure ya'll understand.
We left Thursday 8/9 from San Luis Obispo CA headed for hwy 178 and Walker pass on our way to the east side of the sierras. On the back side of hwy 178 as you head down to hwy14 there are some spots to camp along the way. Its mostly BLM land. We had a friend tell us about a good spot where they camp on the way to the mountains. Coordinates are 39 35'03" N 118 00'22" W
Picture of camp.
In the morning we could see where we were. High Dez and lots of J-Tree's. Nice but it was getting HOT! Time to get outta there!
We headed out toward Bishop but stopped by the old Manzanar Japanese Internment camp. Last year I designed the the historical rebuld of the housing structures. Quite a little challenge. The criteria was that it had to be exactly as it was 70 years ago but be to current code. haha They turned out pretty good!
Nice shot of the rig & lady with the mountains in the background. :elkgrin:
We then headed up toward Big Pine then hit hwy 168 and then White Mountain Road. We drove up that road to Grandview Campground. Its not a bacd backcountry camp, but there were too many people around for me. In the back of the camp is a dirt road. I was thinking LETS GO!
Picture of the area showing where we camped the next 2 nights.
Where we ended up.
Yup, I was liking taking pictures of the new setup!
Few shots from Camp.
The clouds started to come in and threaten, but that is all they did.
Now it was time for Beers and Dinner! I was a happy dude being out here in the middle of nowhere!
Didn't really set up the full shop, but got a the little BBQ going.
Dinner time! Turkey Burgers with portebella mushroom, couscos and salad!
Cocktails at Sunset and we'll call it a GREAT 2nd night in the camper!
And that was the start... More picts coming up soon.
