A new adventure begins.

Finally taking a moment to write the new blog. Trying to find the energy to do it seems to be a struggle. I figure the best thing to do is just start. So we are on day three, or is it day two. We can't seem to agree here. We are not to far from home yet, but having a great time. the first night we found a rest stop to sleep at. pulled into our campground Monday afternoon. We will stay here until Thursday morning.

 Monday we visited Mono Lake. Another lake very salty.The kids had a great time floating and wading in the water. There are no fish, but tons of tiny brine shrimp. The lake also has very large tufa. A calcium alkalian deposit from the ancient lake.

Today we visited the ghost town of Bodie. We thought of you often Lyndsay. The kids enjoyed touring this once apon a time town. We had to drive over unpaved roads for a bit. All got a jostle, especially the ones in the back. Mark and two of the boys decided to take the kayak to the lake again. Overall, a nice relaxing start to this adventure.

one of the best times for the kids has been meeting some of the kids here at the campground. I have never seen a bigger concentration of foreign visitors anywhere. They have made great friends from Isreal. They have been learning Hebrew from them. We are on our way to inside Yosemite tomorrow. Not planning on going to far inside, just enough to make Noah miserable.

Some pictures, out of order of course....
