Boondocking south & east of Mono Lake: sandy? buggy?

Memorial weekend is early enough that insects shouldn't be a problem. That area is very dry in a normal year and with the sandy pumice soil there is little to no standing water.

The ranger station at Lee Vining is the district office for where you are headed if you want to pick up a copy of the Motor Vehicle Use Map. That area is loaded with roads and a few of them are now off limits, however all of the road closures should be well marked.
