A funky loop to the Mono Basin


I love the Mono Basin. I know almost every inch of it from when I was working with the Forest Service in 2004.

I went on a funky loop down HWY 395 to Mono Lake and then back up HWY 95. For the most part I am boycotting California because of it's gas prices (is $5.50 really necessary when you can get gas in Nevada for $3.95?), but I had to go see the lake again.

At the end of my trip I accidentally ended up in Virginia City. I have been meaning to go there, now I know I HAVE to go there...even if just to see the cemetery. Here is a cool site where you can see all the buildings: http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nv/virginiacity.html

I loved Virginia City. Yes, the cemetery is awesome, as are the perfectly restored buildings in the town.
