Day 2: Dirt Flat Campground to Jamestown, CA
Mileage: 230 miles
Sarah: The second day we headed into Yosemite and took many many stops to take in the awesome scenery. Strangely, there were not many people on the roads heading east. The park was awesome and it took us several hours to get through it as we took many pictures and videos along the way. (We wanted to make sure we got our money’s worth – $10 per bike for a 7 day pass). By the time we got to the east entrance, there was a huge line going into the park. I’m glad we avoided that!
We took a lunch break outside of Yosemite in Lee Vining. I had a Chicken Fiesta Salad which was… interesting… plus, a bonus! lots of lipstick on my water glass. Yummy!!
We also took a pitstop at Bodie; a ghost town right off of the 395. It was about 9 miles of beautiful winding roads and 3 miles of dirt. A little bumpy but you get used to it. The $3 admission was worth it- the town is awesome and hard to believe thousands of people used to live there.
The 395 was beautiful but felt like we were on the interstate. It was very straight and not many curves to keep our attention. It was a relief to get on the 108 (Sonora Pass) which was VERY windy and ABSOLUTELY beautiful! There were several camp sites on this road which I think we will probably stay at if we were to return. This was an awesome ride and I highly recommend it if you are in the area.
Jamestown turned out to be a cute town. We were pretty tired, hungry ,and excited about taking a shower 
We stayed at the Royal Carriage Inn and enjoyed the company of Jen, who worked the front counter. She was a funny gal who tried to make our stay a good one. We grabbed some dinner – for me, a cajun shrimp dinner from the National which was… okay. Then headed to Stogies for some drinks and a cigar. Robert and his wife were very friendly and helped us choose our stogie. They had a big selection of wines and beers with GREAT prices.
