Eating a sweet-ass bread bowl of soup in the National Forest for lunch on our way home. We stopped at Erick Schat's Bakkeri (yeah, goofy spelling) and got some day (or 3) old bread for Uuber cheap.

We walked the relatively short (1 mile) Discovery loop through the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. These are the oldest living things on Earth. Yes, on the whole of the Earth, with 4000+ yr old trees.

Relaxing (and looking confused with a sweet headband) in the Hot Tub hot spring near Mammoth Lakes. After Bodie, we drove south to Mammoth, picked up a heel plate for my skis for cheap, got some subway, and camped out near some hot springs!

We visted Bodie State Park, which is a 'preserved' mining town. Most buildings were off limits (due to disrepair or residence by park employees) but this one had some cool old stuff in it.

The vegetable chips we bought at Berkeley Bowl aren't that good. They looked good, but they suck. I'd rather eat potato chips!

Sitting in an old concrete tub in the ruins of an old abandoned hot spring resort, which is across the river from the new resort (Mono Hot Springs). Enjoying the surrounding Sequoia National Forest, and Romy's foot, at about 7,000 ft elevation.

Relaxing at Mono Hot Springs, near the John Muir Wilderness in Sequoia National Forest. The water was just slightly above body temperature, but it wasn't very cold outside today.

Taking a really bad picture with my cell phone after Cake finished their show at the Blue Lamp in Sacramento, CA. The lounge was about the size of our apartment, and they only let about 85 people in! We were so lucky to find out about it and go see them. We were literally 5 feet away from the band for the show! It was so much fun.

Romy

Romy 10.19.2010

Waiting in line to see Cake play at the Blue Lamp in Sacramento, CA. They played a secret show and only let the people on their e-mail list know about it the night before. The cover was only $10.
