It was a beautiful trip up to Mammoth for our last weekend up here for the next little while. The weather was great. For people who have only been to Mammoth in the winter, Summer is a whole other great experience. The 4th of July in particular is a great time to be here. I even had the chance to ski on the 4th one year. But not this year.
It is small town Americana at its best. The local chapter of the Lion's Club has a pancake breakfast in a parking lot. They even have "sprayable" butter!
I finally got to try a Deep Fried Twinkie. It was much better than I thought it would be. Very decadent, and not the hideous treat I was expecting.
One of our favorite summer things to do is to drive up to Mono Lake to the Mobil Gas Station at Tioga Pass. In the summer. Tioga Toomey, a gourmet chef, takes over the deli in the gas station and turns it into the "Woah Nellie Deli". You will have the best meal you've ever had at a gas station there - Buffalo Meatloaf, Lobster Tacos - everything is wonderful! You can't beat the view either.
