We're back

Left here Thursday morning later than we planned as I was talking with different insurance agencies and trying to figure out how to send copy of receipt to one of them..anyway got out of here and headed fo we June Lake (only about 110 miles).  We pulled over and had lunch on the way and off we went.  

Well, that whole area is a Zoo!  We drove around and decided we didn't like the campsites that were available and we would have had to move every night until Sunday.  So we decided to head for Bridgeport, we usually can get a site there. 

It was a pretty drive back up 395 as the kids had never seen Mono Lake so they enjoyed that..so nice!  Lee Vining was a very busy place.  Love that area in the fall when the leaves are changing.  

 Got up to Bridgeport and luckily found a nice site in the Honeymoon Flat Campground.  Very nice and near Robinson Creek so the boys were happy. We were able to have a fire and bar b que.

Bar B Q and an IPA does it get any better?!

Friday we decided to take the boys over to Bodie State Historic Park.  We hadn't been in several years and they never had.  We took our lunch with us. Had the kids grab some sweatshirts as it looked like it could rain later and you just never know what the weather will do over there.  Couldn't believe all the people in line and all the cars at the park!  You drive 12 miles back, 3 of those on a dirt road. Once we got in we decided to have our lunch and then see the park.

Loved watching the skies!

The little ole Church...

Where some of the rangers live...bet there are some ghosts there

Some of the outhouses are still usable

Not this one..but I loved it!

We all enjoyed the old buildings and such. We really liked watching the skies get darker and darker.  Thunder..then as we're walking up the hill to Dog Face George's Place, about as far out as we could get..it starts raining, then hail.  We hid out for a bit and then decided it wasn't going to quit!  We were freezing. All of us except Ken had shorts on!  Really, who would have thought it was going to be winter in August!  So down the hill we ran into the truck. That heater never felt so good!  We did a lovely couple of hours and the boys enjoyed it! 

Got back to camp and it had quit. Camp host told us it had just quit about 10 minutes before we got back.  So perfect timing.  We were able to have a good dinner, fire and the boys did some more fishing.  

More fish!

We awoke yesterday to clear blue skies but decided to come on home anyway as we were out of firewood and we had to move anyway as our spot was reserved for last night.  

Today (Sunday) we took the quads and the old Dodge out for a ride to the BLM land not far from our house.  It's all dirt road so just a nice leisurely drive.  Ended up at the place we like to go shooting so the boys really enjoyed that!

Seth liked the shotgun and the .40

Mason preferred the .22

Seth is a really good shot!

Quick trip to Scolari's and Papa's famous bar b que burgers for dinner tonight..we know what that signals..the kids go home tomorrow.  Ken and I will drive them over and then stop in Carson City and pick up my MIFI.  The last of what the thieves stole!  

Be home for a bit as there's some clean up to be done, and then we'll see..talking about one more trip before we take the trailer back in for service. 

Been a good, if not quick summer!  Hard to believe it's over! 

I have pics to publish but will be tomorrow ...as long as I can figure it all out! ..then I'll be using my time to post!
