Yesterday we drove south to Lone Pine. The last time I was in Lone Pine was 5 years ago and my car broke down. I was stuck in this town (population 1600!) for two days! Luckily for me the Alabama Hills were in walking distance. The hills are actually massive boulders piled on top of each other. If you’re driving up the 395 you would never know the formations are behind the town.
I finally had the chance to take the Edge offroading. She handled beautifully! So of course I had to take a few car shots!
Ill be back in town tomorrow. Until then my cell reception is lost in a black hole. Email is best. 
This last shot was taken looking towards Mammoth Mountain on the way home. No tripod or anything, this shot was stitched together in photoshop afterwards. Its actually 11 photos in one. I love the colors.
The past few days I’ve been up in Mammoth visiting Matt. Last week was our one year anniversary…. so since we were apart we’re celebrating our anniversary and Valentines day all in one weekend!
On Thursday we took a hike around Lake Mary. For those of you familiar with Mammoth, after the first snowfall the road to the lake is closed. So we had to hike maybe a mile in the snow to get to the lake…. and honestly by the time we got there I was ready to throw in the towel!!! The snow was so deep all of the street signs were completely covered…. hence the title of my post.
We took a break and I unknowingly sat down on a picnic bench covered in bird seed. Needless to say I was swarmed by these little birds! Matt took out his sandwich, tore off a piece of bread and the little winter finches ate directly out of his hand.
We finally got back to the car four hours with just a little bit of light left. That hike was up there with the hike up Mount Washington!
This weekend I had a few days off so I weathered the storm and made a trip to Mammoth! You wouldn’t believe it but I have never really experienced snow before! Never driven through it or even played in it.
So Saturday Matt and I took a drive on the Mammoth Loop and I got knee deep in snow! All of the photos I took didn’t really do justice. From the road it was a beautiful landscape, but up close it blended together.
Anyways, here are a few I liked, including Diego. Hes not too fond of the snow if you cant tell!
When I went to DC a few weeks back we flew Virgin America. I was so excited about it I started blogging about it on the plane! I know, I know! Well I never actually posted it, so here it is:
All I can say is wow!! We are sitting on the plane right now to head to DC for a week. I was really excited to see what all the hype was about. When we entered SFO we had some trouble finding the check in area. When we did we were greeted with red carpet, white orchids, flat panel touchscreen macs and a very nice customer service agent. We were checked in in no time at all and headed to our gate.
When we boarded the airplane we were greeted with this down tempo club music. The plane was up lit a neon purple and all the seats were leather… not just first class. Every seat back had a touchscreen panel and a remote control with access to video games, movies, satellitle tv and the ability to order food from where we sat.
It was all great until we were delayed an hour and a half and our touch screens stopped working. I will say, they comped our meals for the delay, which I dont think United has ever offered on any delayed flight I’ve been on!
All in all, the hype wore off because the touch screens were broken. The flight back home was great… everything worked!
