Since Heavenly was a bust for skiing and none of us were feeling all that well, we decided to forgo the Thanksgiving stuff and head to Mammoth Lakes.  We heard the skiing is better there.

Along the way we passed Mono Lake.  An unfortunate name for such a cool looking lake.  I had to consult my bff wiki for some details:  Mono Lake is a large, shallow saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in a basin that has no outlet to the ocean. It was eerily beautiful.

We knew we made the right decision to go to Mammoth when we saw the hot tub at our new campground…
