Speaking of Mammoth mountain. I just paid my speeding ticket that I got a couple of weeks ago on the way there,
& did online traffic school this morning, finished it in 8 mins.
A long day, chains leaving Mammoth and a slow drive through rain and more rain. I-15 totally fcked, 7 hours instead of 5 hours.
Some years ago I was driving back from Mammoth after spring skiing happily cruising around 74 mph. I strickly obey with the speed limits in Bishop, big pine, independence and lone pine. Two guys in a truck took offense to my driving the speed limit, I sort of lost it and after leaving Lone Pine I stomped on the gas and left them behind, as I maxed out at 102 mph CHP driving opposite direction comes around corner of divided highway
Toast, wrote the ticket for 102, paid dearly for auto insurance, screwed much worse then the fine.
