Vacation backtrack
Back from my 4 day vacation I’ve uploaded a few pictures to show my little venture of the eastern Sierras.
We stayed in a cabin at June lake and from there we would travel on the (very obscure)highways to the places we wanted to go -being kind of in the middle of all the places we wanted to visit. When we arrived on our first day at the lake it was too late to travel anyplace, so we were pretty bored sitting around waiting for the day to end. We(My friend Kenny and I -as he traveled with me on this particular trip) got the idea to explore some of the small town at June lake out of boredom and made a surprising discovery. In one of the buildings we noticed a working Neo-Geo MVS arcade cabinet(w/1 button kinda broken) loaded with King of Fighters 2001. What are the odds? I can’t even find a cabinet loaded with KOF in my own city! This “building” was actually totally not in business, and looked like it was in the middle of being converted to a skate shop/arcade from a… arcade?. The guy let us in without question(as he skated around on a half pipe), all the coin doors were open, and so we just used the happ/cherry switches for credits and played until he felt like “closing” the place. Besides that we mostly played on the road with Puyo Puyo chu(DS) and Advance Wars… to ourselves, knowing a multiplayer match of that would take ages to complete.
Back to the trip though, the first landmarks we visited on day one were Devils postpile and rainbow falls.
We did some roaming around Yosemite that day as well but the real picture worthy stuff was when we stopped along the road to Yosemite at 10,000 feet or so.
The next day we went to the “ghost town” of Bodie. Very eerie and interesting town. Unfortunately we couldn’t get into the stamping mill as it seemed we needed to be part of a guided tour in order to enter. We couldn’t find any guided tours happening so that was that.

The trip was all-round a success though it could’ve been better had I reminded my friend to bring his Dreamcast. Just kidding, my parents would freak if I brought a console with me on vacation…
