Sierra Nevada
Every since I started planning to come see my daughter I have been intrigued with The Sierra Nevada, it seemed so ominous and massive. I have reading books about it. Just the name is grand, The Sierra Nevada.
Well I experienced the massiveness of it yesterday! From Reno to Mono Lake there are some huge drop offs the side of the road, and the guard rails were not comforting me, I had to pull over because of sweating and shaking. The only thing that got me through was coming to the conclusion if it was my karma, my fate, to die tumbling over the edge in a vehicle, well there was really nothing I could do to change it.
I got to the Mono Lake visitors center, and I am sure looking crazy, asked the worker if there was anyway out of here that didn't include those mountains, I didn't care how far out of my way I had to go. He smiled and assured me I was through them.
I can deal with so much in life my own traumas, others, but for some reason this about does me in, the same thing happened on bridges in my high top van. It stinks because it limits where I will go and what I will do. Oh well can't have everything in life. And like I always say to my daughter the great things about hard times is when they end, regular life feels awesome.
Having a wonderful time at two blm campgrounds on 395 around Bishop and Independence California. These campsites are rustic but have garbage, fire pits and vault toilets, and 5.00 a night and they take my national forest access pass so it is 2.50. Not crowed because there are so many of them. Feel totally safe in these campgrounds, unlike home, where they are party central, loud, crisis happening all the time. I told my daughter it is too far for gangsters and criminals to come for a few straggly campers, low yield. I would feel fine about my daughters being out here on their own and that says it all
The host says he gets 500.00 a month and his free spot, he says he drinks beer in between every chore he does
. So I could save the 800.00 I'd pay in rent, get the 500.00 and 800.00, so 1300.00 and I wouldn't need to spend over 300.00 so could save a 1,000.00 a month. If I ever run low on funds and in need of a new vehicle, a few months of this I could do. The vehicle does need to be self contained, he says he got his for 1,500.00 has had it for a year and no repairs. This would be a good way for people starting out, that don't have a monthly check coming in. I can see they would need people as there are so many of these campgrounds. He says there is very, very little he has to do.
It is a constant light show out here, colors changing by the minuete. The dog is so cute she is ALIVE with the smells, leaping over streams, running like a puppy soo great to see!
