Road Trip - Lee Vining, CA

Spent the second night of our road trip in Lee Vining, CA. I've driven through Lee Vining many times but never actually spent a night there. Lee Vining is known as the gateway to Yosemite. However, this time of year, there wasn't much going on.

None the less, Lee Vining is an interesting little town. Biggest surprise was the Mono Basin Historical Society Museum which has a great collection of old mining equipment

and the "Upside Down House" which was built in 1956 by Nellie Bly Bryan who was inspired by the children's tale, "Upside Down Land". The house was originally located along Hwy 395 south of the Mono Inn. 

After Nellie's death, the house fell into disrepair until it was moved to its current location in 2000.
