TR: Horton Creek & Volcanic Tablelands (Bishop area)
Here's our latest blog post -- the photos make it look kind of rugged, but it wasn't. The temps got into the mid-20s at night -- no problem. It was sunny and cool (around 50) every day, so the solar worked like a champ.
The BLM land around Horton Creek, while pretty, was very hard to get into -- the access roads had lots of really big rocks. We had to creep along at five mph, with DW walking alongside to steer me around the bad places. (A TC would be more suitable than our trailer.) The Volcanic Tablelands, by contrast, had lots of really easy dirt roads with lots of places to turn around -- no problem for any sort of RV, even a big Class A or a fifth wheel.
Anyway, here is the post -- feel free to skip the boring text and just skim the photos:
Boondocking in the Eastern Sierra in Midwinter
And this is a "teaser" shot -- this is my favorite picture of the trip, showing the Sierra Crest from our campsite near Horton Creek:
