Mono Lake, a desert salt lake in Lee Vining. Surprisingly home to two million annual migratory birds due to its abundance of brine shrimp and black flies..

This unusual car was at the Chevron petrol station when we pulled up for diesel. It has a Chevy V8 engine and a Jaguar rear end. Diesel at this petrol station was $3.99/gal - a few miles down the road on the way to Mammoth Lakes the diesel at Shell was $2.69/gal...is this free enterprise at work or highway robbery?
