Riley's Human
Got a very late start and went up the Silver Fork Road. As expected it was a zoo, campers everywhere. Went a bit further up the Packsaddle Pass Road and had it all to myself. Too much snow to continue on to Strawberry but I found a nice spot just below the snow line.
A little wine with the barbecued ribs.
The next day I made it to Bridgeport uneventfully, stocked up a few items and had a burger before heading towards Mono Lake. Thats when I found the idiots. All stacked up on that stretch of 395. I really liked the guy who passed me doing 75 uphill but rode his brakes all the way down the other side of Conway summit. Hung a left on 20 and only a couple people that way. Found a nice spot to camp with a view of the lake.
Managed to get Riley some exercise.
Visited Virginia Lakes. What a zoo that was. Couldn't even park long enough to get a pic. Lots of people with their backpacking stoves cooking breakfast next to their cars. A few wives pointing to my camper "honey, why don't we have one of those" well at least thats what it looked like
Saw about a half dozen FWC but no ATCs (well at least I think, it was hard to tell for sure and not drive off the road).
Spent some time on Monitor Pass. I had the dog out running alongside the truck, noticed two people up on the hill and a black dog running towards them. Dangit Riley, I thought for a moment until I noticed he was still by the truck. They had a do that looked just like him. Interesting how some roads up there were clear and dry and others still snowed under. The usual idiots on 50 going home made me wish I'd gone over Carson pass and back home that way. Longer but less stressful. Good to get out even it was a holiday weekend.
