Day 8: Early start, 6 hours to Cal Sate Fullerton, 3 1/2 hours of safety training…

Today we had to get from Mammoth Lakes, CA to Cal State Fullerton in time to attend lab safety training. This is not a good way to start any day. So, we loaded up the caravan and got to it, on the road by 6 am. We stopped at Erik Shat’s Bakery in Bishop, CA (of course) for breakfast. Frank Corsetti, John Spear and I then got the vans gassed up (23 gallons, $97 for mine…ouch). While waiting, I saw the lentricular clouds below.

Potty break at Lone Pine, CA visitors center never disappoints for giving a view to remember…

All the way to Cal State Fullerton and a 3 1/2 hour Lab Safety Training. Somehow, I was the only instructor who either wasn’t able to find a way out or didn’t already qualify for CSUF’s safety credentials, splendid. There was a moment of levity that almost made up for it…fire extinguisher practice!
