The weather turned cooler, and we were at higher elevation. Had snow flurries and the water bottles in our tent got a layer of ice on them overnight. Brr!

Back through Big Pine, up to Bishop, and finally had time to tour the Laws Ghost Town Museum that we've driven by so often. It's really touristy but they have a lot of cool stuff.

Full circle, back to Bridgeport where we started. Got a room at Bridgeport Inn and gave the tent and ourselves a rest. Eight days at Eureka Dunes, Racetrack Valley, Hidden Valley, Hunter Pass, Saline Valley, with only two provision stops. One of our best trips.
