i've driven past the salton sea, but that's about it for salty lakes/seas for me. i wanna go back to yosemite anyway, so maybe i can make a whole trip of it.

that's pretty amazing.

Julie-what was the Dead Sea like?

oh that's right by yosemite and bodie- that huge ghost town that we went to with panther, krista, and adri. i wish they also had wanted to see mono lake. i remember being at the intersection for it asking if we could stop by it quick but everyone else said we should head back. i'm sure you'd love it. it's a super long drive though.

yah i know it's by yosemite...also haven't been there in forever. yosemite isn't too far from my parents'. maybe 2-3 hours...i think the last time i went there was on a field trip in jr. high.

huh. i hadn't thought about it that way. it must be more east from us then. i just thought of it as being to the north, rather than considering a northeasterly thing. i think from the bay area it took 4 hours or something whacked out like that. ;>

oh yeah it's east. pretty much straight east, if you look on a map. merced, the place i went to high school in, the nickname for the town was "the gateway to yosemite", because like, there's nothing else there!

Wow. I'll have to add that to my list of places I want to visit as well. I hope you got to do something nature-y and fun this weekend :)

[murmur]

yeah it looks like a visually fascinating place!

not naturey so much, but i saw guerneville...the drive there was beautiful, the town was tiny. also drove all over the east bay and went thrifting. good times.
