Yay for Albertsons for having a sale on all the items needed for a Corned Beef boiled dinner. Got two briskets just to have enough for leftovers.

Nom Nom Corned beef hash with eggs - a staff member has ducks and gives me free eggs.

My kiddos are a 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Puerto Rican and 1/2 Chinese

Chinese, Puerto Rican, Irish! What a great combo. If only they were Jewish. L'Chaim! Also, great pics as usual.

I believe that their Mom has a bit of Jewish genes, I'm 99% Southern China

In Hawaii they say that Chinese are "Jews of the East" LoL

the hammer and I have walked that trail on the right that goes down into the rock walls and driven up that road on the left ( of the center / camping ) and had a ranger show us some interesting stuff up there. We were there many times in the 4X4 truck and dolphin mini rv.

Some very beautiful countryside but its close proximity to the highway - busy night time traffic made it kinda scary after sunset. lol. exotic as heck , waking up there mornings. The vistas , ambiance of heating rocks and fragrances from Creosol and sage … boisterous birds. A great , fun, nature experience brother.

One of the best trips down your way.

❤️❤️❤️

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Yea, that hwy is so close, I missed the entrance the 1st time, but just enjoyed the sights.

So cool that you camped there, I'll have to bucket list that

I've driven by there a bunch of times, on my way to Lone Pine to do Whitney, summitted it in 2014 and 2017. During one of the trips I saw vans with writing on the side that had #s and names, then I found out that people were doing Badwater ultramarathon and they were the support vans for them.

135 miles from Death Valley to Whitney Portal. On my way up to the Portal I saw two guys walking up there, I parked and waiting for them to finish and applauded them. That is badassery right there

That was such an awesome place, tho Sequoia was beautiful in it's own way. Looking forward to Yosemite in May

Yes that unexpected ( when you are there the first time ) little store , patio restaurant etc. are a delight …. Literally in the middle of no where rotflol. I’ve fished in the little , well stocked , trout pond and had a beverage and snack there too. That gigantic frozen water fall over on the left side is astonishing and beautiful. There hammer freaks/d every time we drove back down , being on the side of the vehicle facing the guardrail/less breathtaking sheer drops . Rotflol. I’ve walked up the portal several times but never to the summit. Another treasure in nature’s treasure chest. We started visiting that portal yearly back in the 1980s , …. On one trip we saw an enormous mountain lion sunning on a rock. It was so large , it looked to have escaped a zoo or something. It was on top of a rock in movie flats on your way up. I think the mountain scenes of Gunga Din were filmed there among many others. It’s drop dead gorgeous, it’s no wonder why the studios used that location so much.

You know how to pick ‘em buddy. Those locations truely beautiful “ California’s Gold “ ( ala Huell Howser “ ) .

❤️❤️❤️

Back in those days we had a little 22’ Dolphin motor home and went out from Friday night till Sunday night every weekend from early March until nearly Thanksgiving. Me , the hammer and our two daughters. Mostly S.F and every nook and cranny on the central coast, but plenty of Yosemite…. The ridge back highway to Owen’s Valley. Many favorites on 395, especially the Whitney run and those highly active volcanic fumeroles next to / near the thermal plant area opposite the Mammoth turn off. I probably could write a small book on places off the 395. Including the many vast government munitions and testing locations ( Hawthorne, yearington , others I won’t mention. The hammer owns a piece of the defunct Lucky Boy mine located in Lucky Boy pass overlooking the Hawthorne munitions storage and testing locations. I could go on and on , rotflol. The entire of Owen’s valley is a treasure or jumping off point to many treasures.
