Saturday morning was a early start since we'd be making the haul back to Bishop for supplies in preparation for Coyote Flats. We made quick work of packing up camp and hitting the 395 south. Couldn't pass up Mahogany Meats along the way, although collectively we spend well over a couple hundred...

Yeah, both the Rokinon's I have are amazing pieces of glass for the price. The 8mm is a blast to shoot with and it soaks up the wide field astrophotography. That Irix looks impressive, and expensive haha. Eventually I want to drop some coin on a high-end lens as I know there would be a...

+1 for the Big Red Campfire.

We got lost within Bodie - more time was spent among the relics then was originally intended. It's one of those places where the more you look the more you find. Every building and section of the town had something new and interesting that captivated us. What a time to be alive! Old mining...

Thank you! I'm using the Canon EOSM and EOSM3 with a combination of the Tamron 18-200mm, Canon 11-22mm and Rokinon 8mm. Awesome! I plan on getting the rest of the trip report up here within the next week so hopefully that helps even more. I didn't pay attention to the exact temperature but...

Been trying to find the time to get more of the trip report done. Thanks everyone for the compliments! Echo7tango - I'm jealous! Hope you have fun and enjoy it as much as we did.

Thank you! Definitely do. An amazing place to enjoy the outdoors. Pictures don't do any of it justice. Thanks. Hopefully have this report wrapped up in a few days. Thanks!

Haha. We do like our Tepui's!!!

As it turns out, the Sierra's are riddled with flying insects. Even more so when around a body of water. That morning it was very apparent that the bug spray went on way too late and we were eaten for dinner by the lake locals. Red bumps and itching isn't the best way to start a fresh day - but...

Thanks! Lucky! I'm already itching to go back. Coyote Flats is truly an amazing place. Have fun! Thank you!

Coming up to the trail-head that leads to Laurel Lakes, there were a few vehicles in the parking area as well as a few people that appeared to be completing a day hiking throughout the local mountains. A bit further up a gentleman was walking up the trail with a gas can in a basic backpack which...

The drive up to Bishop gave us some free time to research what last nights fireball was all about. Turned out to be the second stage from a Chinese rocket disintegrating in the atmosphere. How it just so happened to become visible at the "official" start of our trip was pretty cool. From Bishop...

This trip to the Eastern Sierras was originally planned to take place last summer as a way for us desert dwellers to escape the heat. But as our departure time grew closer, personal plans began to change and ended up not working out. In a way, it was better that way - giving me time to refine...

Sure is.

We have 3 Dometic/Waeco CF-50 fridges in our group and haven't had one single issue. They've worked great and have endured thousands of off-road miles being rattled and banged around. My fridge lives in the back of my truck nearly half the year. It's been rained on, covered in mud, spend the...

Being in Southern California, it's obviously going to be the desert. But in more detail about what I like most about it is finding all the old mining operations that have been left behind. Recently got a taste of the Sierra's though and it's all I can think about now... Decisions....

Great write up and pictures. Thanks for sharing.
