The Mono Hot Springs Camping Incident: The Importance of A Good Travel Companion

Last Updated:   January 21, 2021

One of the most important people you will meet in your life is your travel companion. We didn’t realize we were perfect adventure partners at first. We had to find our stride. And we found that stride after a diabolical rock, a totaled car, mountain stoners, a broken French Press, and a 10 hour ride in a tow truck.
