After some quality time with the fam where we did some nice hikes @ tioga, mammoth lakes and little lakes valley, Bets and I had just enough time to do a quick 3 day before heading back to NH. Spent first night at Sailor Lake and the 2nd at Blue. An early departure the next morning got us to the Burger Barn in Bishop in time for lunch.
