Mammoth Lakes, CA to Las Vegas, NV

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Probably one of the longest drives I had in a l-o-n-g time. Took an indirect route to my destination (Racetrack Playa) and couldn’t make it due to the low clearance on the Corolla. On the way I out, I tried to get out of the valley to the South (I had come in the North) but couldn’t pull the hill as I was just spinning (although I didn’t try it in reverse.) In the end, we left the way we came, adding only 120 miles, but 8:20 hours to the trip! It was like driving about 60-70 miles of washboard, but was beautiful however. Glad I went, but won’t do it without a DRZ.
