This, photo runby thirteen was the final one of the morning. Peter told us all to meet him in the parking lot at 3:00 PM so Elizabeth and I drove back into Bishop and had lunch at Jack's Restaurant before returning to the hotel where I put the pictures into the computer then made pages for them. We returned to the museum a little early.
Laws station California historical plaque whose information is difficult to read. We walked across the street and Elizabeth showed me a caboose.

We drove back to Bishop, went to KFC for dinner then returned to the Comfort Inn where I finished the previous story then called it a night.
3/24/2023 Elizabeth and I arose and following our Internet duties, we checked out and went to Jack's Restaurant for the final breakfast of the trip. I drove down US 395 to Adelanto where we stopped for petrol then Elizabeth drove us over Cajon Pass down Interate 15 to CA Highway 91 to home at our apartment. It was great to be back home.
