we drove ten minutes down the 395 to convict lake.
convict lake is named after a gang that busted out of the carson city jail and fled into the mountains in 1871. they were caught by the local sheriff, (who they shot and killed, and who the big mountain is named after), and were caught and hanged... apparently back in the day the eastern sierras were quite lawless. it was the wild west!!
we got wild and hid like bandits in the trees!
it is crystal clear and amazing. i am afraid we are becoming spoiled with beautiful scenery.
we are also becoming spoiled with relaxation and enjoyment of magical experiences out of doors.
of course i'm joking. we shall never become spoiled by majestic mountain scenery! look at todd giving thanks for the mountain spring crystal lake!
and what foray into the mountains would be complete without a stop at another natural hot spring??
we have become experts in the hot springs of the owens valley. this one is our new favorite, super hot, with benches!
thank you eastern sierras! we love you.
