Wow did we get lucky! All we did was track the lakes on the mapquest map leading to Death Valley and we found the Mammoth Lakes area and June Lake Loop. It is on the backside of Yosemite and it is spectacular to see the huge rocky mountains meet the lakes beneath them. I wonder if these pictures do them justice, but we'll sure try!
Who would ever know to turn here?I'm so glad we didn't stay in Mt. Shasta!
The rains were just leaving the area. This mountain looked ominous!

Check out this WEIRD cloud formation - This photo is completely UNTOUCHED!
We passed Grant Lake, Silver Lake, Gull Lake and arrived at June Lake...

Coming into the town of June Lake -- It's an adorable Alpine Village --
like a miniature Lake Placid or Interlaken Switzerland.
This is a photo taken from the other end of town
(there's not much between the two ends besides what you see in the two photos!)
Our little motel is The Villager, straight ahead. $65/night bought us a big one bedroom with a full kitchen. Very comfortable!
It was very COLD last night! We could see our breath! Good thing we had our fleece with us and our winter scarves! This morning we took a walk around 6:30 a.m. and the grass was FROZEN!
And tomorrow we head into the FURNACE just three hours away! We'll keep you in the "loop" as we head to Death Valley, Panamint Springs!
