After spending every moment of daylight enjoying Yosemite, which included a visit to some of the giant sequoias and a sunset at Glacier Point, we headed to Mammoth Lakes. Our niece Laurel was ready and waiting to be our personal tour guide, and she and Jeff showed us some of the best parts of the area. We started with a gondola ride to the top of Mammoth Mountain. We had a marvelous view of the area. Laurel rode the gondola down with us, but Jeff rode down on his mountain bike. Looks like fun...if you're young and fearless!

Hmmm-m-m.... must be some celebrities having lunch after a gondola ride.
While Laurel and Jeff dealt with work things, we visited the Devil's Postpile, a National Monument.
We took a couple of hikes with Bear and Sugar, Jeff and Laurel's dogs. One of the hikes was around Convict Lake. We got attached to these dogs in record time, and it just reminded us how much we miss Niki, our Siberian Husky.

We know Laurel and Jeff love their dogs, but should they really let them drive??
We got to visit the kennel where all the sled dogs are kept. It was fun and noisy, with about 35 dogs, but the best part was meeting the new puppies. It's a good thing they weren't quite ready to leave their mom, Luna, or I'd have smuggled one out in my pocket!
Thanks Laurel and Jeff! We had a great time!
