"The mountains are calling..." ~ John Muir. Such an appropriate quote for the journey I am embarking on. I was excited to see the quote welcoming me to Mammoth, CA.
Mammoth is a ski resort in the winter and a mountain bike park in the summer. The whole town has the outdoor feel to it. All of the buildings have wooden rustic frontage. It is such a cute town! It's really an outdoor lover's dream town.
I went to a few outdoor stores looking for some canister fuel. They have some great local hike stores. It's good to know so that if I run into problems on the trail, I can take a side trip and come into town for gear repair/replacement.
We drove around a little and my friend showed me some places I'll need to remember for when I come up in August for JMT Round 2. At the end of the road where I will park my jeep for JMT2, there was this huge statue of a mammoth. It is pretty neat. The sun setting made it look like a shadow, so the B&W edit of the picture is just awesome!
Time for some chili dogs, drinks, good music and conversation. Off to Lake Tahoe tomorrow!
