Just
a short note to tell everyone that we made it out of the fire zone at
Lee Vining this morning. We left the campground at 7:30 and had to
wait about 20 minutes for the pilot car. They escorted us to the
north end of Mono Lake.
It
must have been a really interesting day on Friday at Mono Lodge as
the fire burned right up to the back of the motel. Hand crews with
shovels were still digging up hot spots as we went by this morning.
Edison
brought in a large load of power poles last night and they had a very
large number of trucks staging along the highway at Mono Lodge this
morning. Hard to tell where they lost poles as we went by.
Other
than it being a long day, 300 miles, and hot, in the nineties, we are
fine. Tomorrow is another 270 mile day to Redmond, OR.
