You
need it? We got it! If you forgot the mayonnaise or the sunscreen or warm
socks or film for the camera, we’re here to help. We have food, snacks,
camping and backpacking supplies, souvenirs, ice, flashlight batteries,
hats, milk, and so on. One thing we don’t have, though, is alcohol; our
permit specifically forbids it. For beer and wine, you’ll have to drive
down to Mono Hot Springs. The store is where you buy your ferry tickets,
rent a boat, and get advice about the area. Are the kids bored? We have
books. Is Dad bored? We have toys. Is Mom bored? We have chocolate. Postcards,
baseball caps, coffee mugs and T-shirts will satisfy the souvenir craving
that afflicts those who must have tangible proof of where they’ve been.
It’s a nice place to spend a few minutes and/or a few dollars. So many
choices! It can make you crazy. If there’s one thing we have plenty of,
it’s camping space. If you want to drive to your camp spot, there’s the
50-unit-plus Jackass Meadow Campground. The campsites have paved parking
and are complete with tables and fire pits. |
