That leaves dinner and usually the cost is around $30.00 for the two of us. However, as much as I enjoy the rustic Elms I enjoy the quiet heater/A.C. of the finer places since I'm such a light sleeper and insomniac. La Q is also nice, as is "vaga", Comfort and Ramada but the rates of the hotels are climbing in Bishop. I'm thinking of staying in Big Pine if the rooms are less money... but than you have the cost of gas back and forth. OY! :doh: :doh: :doh: Summer is no problem staying outside in our tent, but winter... I just can't do it.


Get one of these and stay nice and tosty,

Can I fish in your back yard? :LOLO:

Have not made a rod yet with the antlers you gave me yet. Once I do I will let you know.

*, Bob's backyard is big enough to host a gathering and then some. I'll bring my son just so's he can throw the ball for your dogs.

I would also like to fish in your back also Bob.Too cool. I prefer the good old tent at PVR 10.00$.Thanks Ariel for the heads up on gas prices.

I bet we could do something when it warms up! I charge by the pound to fish the pond. Wait a minute, you could interpret that a couple different ways. Stanberry, have you gone to the big"P" yet? I'm going to take the trailer up next week (I think)

If you mean where I think you mean, check out my report in the "Southwest US Waters" section.

Now I'm shot in the foot. The Creekside Inn will be stopping the 'lite evening' meal after this weekend for the summer. So I booked a room at La Q for $75.00. It will be back to the Elms after this and then, once the weather heats up, camping. I'm new to the whole tenting thing so I'll be crossing my fingers. I like the heater idea. Who knows, but it will certainly bring the cost of Bishop back to a manageable taste. I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 6:00 and should be on the water by 10:00. If you see me come over and say hi.
