More about camping

So, after driving up Sonora Pass, we dropped off Dad, who was riding his bike to Markleeville over Monitor Pass (52 miles and a lot of elevation), and we went off to meet friends in Lee Vining for ice cream, before heading to Bodie.

C & K=girl have never been to Bodie, but have heard about it, as its C's middle name. So, it was exciting to see the ghost town.



We were with friends (2 girl children & mom) and C has an aversion to girls lately, so he & mom hung out a bit.

We are studying churches in anticipation of an upcoming trip to France and UK. When we entered the church at Bodie, C pointed out that the rose window is made out of wood at the Bodie Church. :)

After a fun afternoon, we drove the same route Dad took to get to Markleeville, and set up camp. C and K=girl attempted to set up the tent, and did a pretty good job, but needed some help. When Mom intervened, the tent pole smacked back and hit her in the nose pretty bad. Suspected broken nose-- required ice. 40th birthday to remember, for sure.

Friend T was watching from the sidelines with calm bemusement.
