Wednesday, Devils Postpile, Mammoth, and Lake Tahoe

Hey again! Today was quite the full day as we began with our first Sonburst Choir Tour performance for the preschool class of Mammoth Lakes Lutheran Church.  Our audience was certainly attentive throughout the entire concert, and we enjoyed their excitement!  We rode the bus to Mammoth Mountain, then hopped on a shuttle to the valley of Mammoth Lakes, hiking to one of the nation's most wondrous monuments: the Devils Postpile. On our way down we also got to see the river, and some of us got pretty up close and personal with the current..... Don't worry, no one fell in.  We came back up to the Mammoth resort area and stopped to take a snapshot of our group with the infamous Woolly Mammoth.  Climbing back on the bus, we drove north past the salty Mono Lake into Nevada, and up to the sparkling Lake Tahoe.  It was a relaxing evening as we parked the bus and admired the pine trees from Hope Lutheran Church in South Lake. With plenty of time to spare, we got dinner and spent some time hanging out and playing card games at the church. Some of our new travelers also discovered just how cold the tour showers can really get. Brrr.....

We have very spotty WiFi here however, and it seems to be refusing to allow us to upload pictures, but we will try to get today's pictures uploaded as soon as we can tomorrow!

Here are the pictures from yesterday:
