This week Jon and I have been spending our time on the 395 corridor between Mammoth Lakes and Bridgeport. Hwy 395 runs along the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains from the Mojave Desert to the Canadian border. Growing up in the Central Valley of California, I have spent years of my life traveling on some highway or another. The location is near perfect for proximity to all that California has to offer. The Coast just a couple of hours to the West, San Francisco to the North, Los Angeles and San Diego to the South and the mountains and Yosemite just to the East.
Until a couple of years ago, with one exception in the 80's while I was in college (that is another story), I had never been to the Eastern Sierra's. Living the majority of my life within one hour of Yosemite in all of its magnificence, I never considered what lay on the other side of the mountains.
So this week for me, has been about the Road Less Traveled...... Frost got it right, it has made all the difference.
The distance between Mammoth and Bridgeport is approximately 55 miles. In previous blogs, I have shared about Bodie and Mono Lake - these are two of the more famous locals along this route. This week we sought out the less known and in some cases previously unknown to us.
My hope is that these pictures entice you to find your own road less traveled.
