Vacation: Mammoth Part 2

We left my Uncle's place with just enough time to grab lunch in Bishop (45 minutes away). Before we left Bishop we thought we'd stop by the Laws Museum. Even though we had driven through Bishop many times over the years, we never took the little side road over the the museum. It's a cute set up where they took old buildings from all over Bishop and put them together in one location. There is the old post office as well as the train depot and the old school. All of the buildings are stuffed full of things from years past.

I loved the building with all the old cameras!

This siamese sheep grossed us all out. It's got a head on each side!

My mom loved telling us about how she used this machine when she was first a programmer.

They had a whole area that full of rusting old cars and equipment. I loved it!

They even had a fake mine set up. So funny.

After our trip to the museum we got back on the highway and drove until we got to Red Rock Canyon, our traditional "rest stop". Ever since I was little my family would stop here on our way to or from Mammoth to let my sister and I stretch our legs. To this day I still love running around on all the red rock!

The puppy was happy to get to run around finally!
