Crossing into California

I was parked at the Scotty’s Castle Junction to Death Valley on Hwy 95 (about 30 miles North of Beatty) when I woke at 2 AM for no good reason. So I got to the driving and finally crossed into California via Hwy 266 from Nevada & Hwy 168 up and over the Westgard Pass in the Inyo National Forest in California. Moose and I actually stopped in the Ancient Bristlecone Forest for a nap before the sun rose which turned out to be a great thing. With morning rays in the sky and our descent from the mountain pass, we were welcomed into California by the Sierra’s themselves…

I then pulled into a scheduled stop at the Keough Hot Springs just South of Bishop for a morning bath and a selfie. I did try to convince Moose to come in, even forcing it on him once – he kept a good distance from me after that.
