A few years ago while in Bodie, California, we found this Eastern Sierra Museum & Visitor Center Passport. Every time you visit a designated Museum or Visitor Center, you ask for a stamp. Well three years later we were down to our last stamp. Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California. We had a blast filling up the stamps. All of them quite memorable...from the old lady from Laws Railroad who couldn't find the stamp (and didn't really care to) to going all the way up the gondola in Mammoth and NOT finding a stamp (we made the ski rental people down at the bottom sign for us). All in all, we feel extremely accomplished. We have yet to turn it in for our prize.

| Our LAST stamp! |
There was a flower show going on inside of the museum. They had plants and flowers native to the area on display. We grabbed a magnifying glass and observed them up close and personal.

| Catherine went right into scientist mode! |
 |
| The museum had a TERRIFIC kids area. |
 |
| She's quite the curious gal! |
 |
| All of these drawers had animal fur, plants or tracks. Very neat-o! |

| Just outside, the girls enjoyed the labyrinth. |
