•| Bodie Day 2... |
We headed east to Tonoapa on some great rally trails with rollers. We all split up and would meet at McDonald’s after parts to repair vehicles were gathered and coolers were refilled. We would install parts in the parking lot and get some burgers! After lunch we headed to the town of Silver Peak. We popped in at the town’s ONLY bar for a CHAOS group shot in front of the Shifting Sands historic building. A local stopped to see what all the CHAOS was and informed us that they mine high grade lithium from the water under the lake bed. We proceeded through the valley and Joshua Trees up to top of the 8,000 ft mountain range for a breathtaking view of the snow covered Sierra’s. A quick "code red" and we were again off for Oasis and on into Bishop. We had a great switch back trail that was lined in one area with blooming cactus. We loaded up the coolers and our final destination would be Whitmore Hot Springs for the last night of camping. We were able to toss a line at McGee Creek for some trout fishing which was a wonderful way to end the trip. We camped amongst the pinion pine and scrub of the 6,000 ft desert for the night.
