It was a clear day, we could see nearly forever

YOSEMITE, CA -- Prince Charming and I got two days off in a row together for only the second time all summer, and we took advantage of it to do two wonderful hikes on two gorgeous days.
Tuesday we did Mono Pass, an easy eight-mile round trip through meadows and over hills. We'd been advised by co-workers to continue on a half mile beyond the pass, and we'd be able to look down on Mono Lake, and sure enough, there it was. On the horizon, we could see mountains that are 50 or more miles away, in Nevada.
We stopped for our picnic lunch at this point, which is actually in the Ansel Adams Wilderness, just outside Yosemite National park.
Heading back toward the car, we took a short detour to look at some cabins dating from the mid-19th century, when a small mining community existed here. There were five or six cabins, but this was the only one that still had a roof.
