Day 4, Saturday, September 4, 2010 Mammoth Lakes, CA





What a gorgeous place this is!! There are little lakes everywhere surrounded by tall, rugged mountains! Some of the mountains still have snow on the top of them. Christopher was so excited to go fishing today. We went to the sporting goods store and bought him a pole, a reel, bait, hooks, tackle box, and all the fishing gear he would need. We went to Lake Mary ready to catch the big one! The guys fished and I sat and read a book. It was a nice relaxing day.

We went back to camp and I decided to go for a ride. I rode up to Lake George which is about 1/2 mile up the road from our camp. I was driving along and I saw a bear!! I pulled over and jumped out of the car with my camera. (I made sure the door on the car was unlocked in case I had to jump back in real fast!) It was a brown bear and he was tearing up someones tent trying to find food. He ripped open the tent and found a bag of chips. He ripped open the chips and ate some and then went back in the tent and threw a back pack out. A guy standing by me banged on the trash can and the bear stood up on his back legs! WOW!! After a little while he turned and headed off. How fun it was to see! I was a little nervous to sleep out in a tent that night! Every time the breeze would move the tent I would panic! Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep. It was a long, scary night! It was cold also!!
