Now in Mammoth. This sign (look hard) welcomed us yesterday to the transition from the wide wide open spaces (and many hours of travelling), to the rustic, but somewhat cosmopolitan, small town, but bustling resort, of Mammoth Lakes, California. Charie' (my almost 16 year old daughter) is with me. I'm hopeful that she will enjoy the celebratory atmosphere, and the "attractions" (shopping helps). Things are just gearing up now on Friday morning. I'll check in later with how it all goes.
