So - Christmas weekend we decided to take a ski trip to Mammoth Mountain. It's about 6 hours from home and turned out to be a very exciting drive.
When we entered Johannesburg, we were kind of dumb-struck?? Johannesburg? What the - ?
It's a "miniature" version of our Johannesburg back home. It seems they mined for silver here, many moons ago. However there are actually some people still living here. If you look carefully at the roadsign, the streets name is "The Rand", so now I'm pretty sure some South African had something to do with this....
Just out of Johannesburg...what do you know? Randsburg? Now it was kind of getting kreepy....
The views of the mountains were stunning in this area...
And to top it off, we ended up going through Bishop too!
And the mountains kept tempting us with a wee bit of snow up there...
