Eastern Sierras by the Numbers

Clouds over the Sierras on 395

Last night we arrived home after a long weekend getaway to the Eastern Sierras.  Until I go through all my photos and start thinking about all the fun we had, here is a quick summary of the trip by the numbers:

3 hikes (1 new to us)
18 total miles hiked (6 and 8 and 4)
6 meals at the Whoa Nellie Deli
770 miles on the car
3 nights at the El Mono Motel in Lee Vining
2 books (one on CD, one in paperback)
1 jacket forgotten (1 bought at Kmart in Bishop)
Over 300 photos taken
4 marmots, countless deer, butterflies, ground squirrels, 0 bears seen
1 fear overcome, or at least tamed quite a bit

Yes, folks, you are in for a few blog posts this week about some of these very items.
