homeward. our fourth and final voyage log. as i said earlier, we took reno like johnny depp in fear and loathing, but came out cotten picken' broke. well other than the stuffed purple bear we won esme. we said goodbye for now and plotted a course south, down the redonkyless 395, and by redonkyless i mean spectacular in it's beauty. along the back side of yosemite, erick schat's bakery in bishop came highly recommended. eat there. we too recommend it. soon after we stopped at a world war two japanese relocation camp called manzanar. this was very interesting, emotionally, and deserves a blog of it's own to describe. all that remained were the foundations of a post office, a hospital, baseball fields and shack upon shack bordered by what appeared to be rock or bonsai gardens. the most moving was the cemetary (in photos). the remainder of the drive was to a purple sky over the mojave, and before long we returned to reality in the form of a warm bed and an alarm clock set for 6:30am, when it's workin time.
