MAMMOTH Bound!!

We'll we arrived in Mammoth Lakes yesterday around 7 p.m. It was a long day of traveling. We woke up at 4:00 a.m and were flying or driving all day, so we were all pretty exhausted when we got to Mammoth. We flew into L.A, and it was cool because I'd never been there before. The famous LAX airport where all the celebrities are spotted was a lot older than I expected, plus I didn't see any celebrities, atleast none that I recognized. Anyways, before we left L.A, we stopped by Venice Beach. That place is interesting. I've always heard stories of it, and everything I have heard was true. It was cool, but many interesting characters at this place. There were lots of homeless folks, people skating, and the wannabe rappers who try and sell their "beats" on the street. After we left Venice, we hit the interstate towards Mammoth Lakes. Driving through Cali was awesome. We didn't stop here, but I saw the exit for Hollywood, UCLA, and all the other places that make California so famous. California is so different than the east coasts with mostly all deserts and mansions sitting on top of the "hills." After driving for about 5 hours, we finally arrived at our destination. I was super tired and still am, but I did an easy 7 miles at shady rest trails when we arrived. It was a good run. This morning, I did about 8 miles straight up a mountain at 7500 feet altitude.....it was pretty tough, but I felt real strong on the hills. I've got some really good pictures, but I just gotta find a way to put them on here. Aight, we'll I'm off to eat, so I will post later.
