Today is day 87 of the trip titled July 2016 50th Reunion.
I drove 161 miles today, for a total of 9419 miles so far.
I started the day at Acorn Campground. I ended the day at Aspen Campground.
The third campground after leaving Tioga Pass. It is a few miles and a few thousand feet elevation down, more properly thought of as up from Mono Lake than down from Yosemite.
As you're angling down the canyon wall you see a road hundreds of feet down in the valley below. This campground and Big Bend Campground are here. Eventually you get to the turnoff and drive up the road almost two miles and there you are. For some reason the signage is for Bid Bend, but Aspen is the first option you get to.
Shady, near the same stream as Ellery Lake, lots of happy trout fishermen, a lovely meadow at the east edge of the campground. Nice enough place, but it ain't no Tioga Lake.
Story for today: One last bit down 395 before wrapping up my Big Adventure.
