Another Road Trip Tool

Once we have gone through all the trouble of claiming a campsite, I’m not eager to drive away without good reason. It’s not as if we have a trailer to leave behind to claim the site. While we could remove our truck camper, taking it off and on is tedious. We rarely remove it unless we have a large renovation project that will make it not road-worthy for an extended period of time.

So, that’s where our bicycles come into play. We can make runs into town if we are close to civilization (Lone Pine is only four miles from the most common campsites in the Alabama Hills.) We can explore trails before driving them. And we can access sites that might be inaccessible to a large vehicle.
