I am from MA, i know of Bishop because its on my list of places i must fish. One of my passions is backcountry trout fishing.

I'd like to visit Bodie, CA. And Bishops Creek area. You know where that is ltz?

Nope lol.

Bodie was just featured in a recent edition of 4 Wheel and Offroad magazine, maybe two months or so ago? It looks really neat. I've never been there, but have been to Bishop. Have relatives that used to live there. It's like high desert almost low mountains. Very pretty.

It just looks like a really cool place, there is a website that tells its history. That town used to be boomin! A real western ghost town now, just like in the movies.

The entire greater Bishop/Mammoth Lakes vicinity is gorgeous!  Pristine lakes and streams, hot springs, ghost towns, and jagged granite spires.  The lakes are cold and deep azure blue, the streams crystalline - many are lined with brightly colored rocks and offer a variety of trout to test your skill.  Mammoth is underlain by one of the world's dormant supervolcanoes with a scattering of sleeping infants around its flanks.  Obsidian domes and flows abound.  Verdant meadows, dense pine and fir forest, glacier carved canyons.  It is difficult to describe the intense beauty and serenity of the area, not to mention the adventure that awaits.  I don't believe that you would be disappointed.

Bd, you must be a writer for the CA Dept of Tourism! Very descriptive. If i come out for a fish trip can you show me around?

[bd]

I'm not a fisherman (interests are directed more toward hiking, camping, rock climbing, rafting and exploration - ROAD TRIP), but would be happy to show you around over a long weekend if timing allows.

Sounds good, maybe the summer after next, trying to plan a west coast road trip with the fam. We'll see.

-15 sat night. Anyone reporting colder? (besides enaberif)

[Burkhalter]

Thankfully not that cold, we're around the lower thirtys. We just started getting the nice spring time weather over the last week and a half. The "Spring fake out" which means that we'll probably start cooling off next week and start getting 2 or 3 inches snow every night that melts off around noon in a couple of weeks.

[philo_beddoe]

Weather update: it was -15. Then the next day it was like 56 and heavy rain,,,which flushed away and rinsed all the salt. Roads are finally clean, back to driving truck, hadnt since the superbowl. Too much salt. I know, i need a 4x4 beat up squarebody for winter use. 

[enaberif]

we have been having a crazy mild winter. it's been above +5c during the days when it's normally -15c lol

Whats the celcius/farenhiet conversion?

[gunrac]

Whats the celcius/farenhiet conversion?

0* C = 32* F

I guess its just safe to say, enaberif could be on the reality show, life below zero. Lol...
