Subject:      Heading into hell (up 395) -- any last words of advice?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


So tomorrow morning at 4am PDT, I'm leaving Carlsbad, CA and heading
north. First on I-15, then onto highway 395 to points north. The
National Weather Service tells me that by the time I get to Bishop, CA
(lunch-time-ish) the temps will be in the 100's and breaking records. My
original plan was to get to Deadman Canyon (near Lee Vining) in the
afternoon, but the heat may melt me.


Where around Bishop (other than a motel) might a fellow camp that would
not be totally sun-blasted nor require climbing so many thousands of
feet of elevation that his Westy might overheat?
