Bridgeport and Bishop

March 2013 vacation: part 4 - We were really looking forward to this section of our trip. We found out about Bridgeport and Bishop years ago, they are well worth the stop. Whenever we are in the area these are two "musts" for us.
Here's a link for Bridgeport so you can see some of what's around the area - http://www.bridgeportcalifornia.com/.

We decided to sit in the Travertine hot springs for awhile before heading to Bishop.

I felt like Goldilocks, this one was much too hot

this one was just right......ah!

and the view wasn't bad either -

Between Bridgeport and Bishop is Mono Lake (near the entrance to Yosemite National Park & Tioga Pass)
We took a picture of Mono lake from the viewpoint.

Our next stop - Bishop!
We were on a mission, go to Schat's & get chili cheese bread.

Of course we had to indulge in a bit of Schats.

Mango Sorbet!
