Mammoth Lakes

So I've been in the Eastern Sierra's with the family for the last 3 days. We plan to head back to Carp tomorrow with a stop off in Manzanar. Anyway, here are a few cool pictures I've taken! We've had a lot of good Mammoth Brew, seen some cool scenery, done some cool hiking, fired off a few rounds, relaxed by the pool & stream. But generally enjoyed the great outdoors! Too much to do here and too little time! Can't wait to be back!

However, next time I find myself here in the summer I need to bring my Kayak, DH bike, and Dirt Bike! Winter? Just my Arbor!

Dodgertown!

One of the many things I miss in Austria is baseball, specifically the dodgers because I bleed dodger blue. No really - I do. It's happened. I'll try and document it next time. 

Joke's aside, I did have an awesome opportunity this week. I got to check out the Dodgers stadium club. If your not familiar I suggest you do yourself a favor and do a Google search for the place. You should get a bunch of cool search results. But I think I'll just give you the cliff notes. Basically, it's a buffet/bar on the suite level for VIP's, season ticket holders, and the like. We were lucky enough to get hooked up with reservations from a season ticket holder, a season ticket holder who's family has been ticket holders since 1962. Some traditions at Dodger stadium just cant be bought and are rather grandfathered in - quite literally. You just can't beat that. Our reservations were for 5:30, so we got to watch the team practice until game time.




Pre-game bar! Empty at 5:30
Meat carving station, cheeses, pizzas, and lots of other delicious food
Salad bar
Of course they have dodger dogs too!
Oh gluttony.....
Dodgers history & hall of fame!

Next time....
"and it's a high-fly ball into left field"

Couldn't ask for a better seat!
Forgot this guy's name, but he's been working here since the stadium opened! If I remember right he's in his late 80's!
We lost, but it's an experience I'll never forget.
