Well the day started out with a jolt....double non-fat latte. I made a new friend at the Latte Da. Her name is Cathy and guess what? She found Mt. Whitney and was kind enough to share a photo with me (careful not to miss the picture below). Anyway, I headed out to Bodie and found things pretty dead there. After walking around the ghost town, I went to Virginia Lake for an afternoon of horseback riding. My horse was named Sweetie and guess what she liked to do? Eat. Isn't it ironic that we were paired together? Every chance she got, she nibbled. We talked about discipline and counting points, but she just couldn't control herself. The guide even disciplined me for letting Sweetie nibble. The guide said, "just give her a kick, cuz it's not good for her to nibble. We watch the horses weight." But Sweetie was smart. Every time I would kick, she would start to gallop. That got old real fast. So I just let her nibble and told her, "Sweetie, I totally get where you're coming from." This evening, Cathy and I took a guided tour of the South Tufa at Mono Lake. Mono Lake is a geological masterpiece with an incredible eco system that is rapidly chnging.
Did I see Flat Stanley? No, but I did see Paul Simon (or a good imposter of him) at the South Tufu.
