I made it back from the high peaks of Mammoth Lakes. I had so much fun. We took the dog and visited family and friends. The snow had just been melting away for the last few weeks and it was so green. We hiked and played horseshoes and drank beer. We walked through the meadow and around Convict Lake. We saved the biggest hike for the last day. We went up the mountain to Sherwood Lakes. There are usually 2 lakes but with all the California snow the lakes overfilled and became one giant lake. The dogs jumped in the cold water and swam around while we cozied up on a big rock and basked in the sun. We then hiked back down the 2 1/2 mile trek and drove home for about 5 hours. The drive was fun too. We stopped for pizza in Lone Pine and I got to see where Ryan hiked last year. He went up Mt. Whitney which is the hightest peak in the continental US. We got back on the road and just at sunset we were in the middle of the desert and Ryan decided to stop and hit a few golfballs into the sun as it hid behind the hills. It was a perfect ending to a perfect trip.
