I made that road trip in 1966 and was entranced with this part of California that I dreamed of living here and retiring nearby some day. Alas, I was transferred to the East Coast 1968, and eventually made my nest here in Delaware, never to return. I'm 81 now, this video brings back fond memories of my youthful traveling days and the 10 years I lived and enjoyed California. Thanks.

Was stationed at Stead AFB in the mid '50s when the population was about 40,000. Moved back to Reno in 1971. Many of my fellow Airmen stayed in the area after their discharge. Used to drive Mt Rose highway many times. The Christmas Tree on Mt Rose highway was my favorite restaurant in the whole area with their steaks grilled over mountain mahogany coals. There is not a better flavor.

Hi Mike, It's 7 years later and l hope this finds you doing well. Bishop is one of my favorite places in California, my home state. The drive was so relaxing (well, up until you got into the traffic blockage doing one mile in 40 minutes, but I digress) and it all reminds me of what I still LOVE in California, even though I am here teaching in Las Vegas for a bit longer than expected. Guess if the world is still standing this coming spring 2021, I may just hop in my Corvette and do the route from Las Vegas to Reno to Bishop, just because. It's rarified air once I get onto Highway 395 to Bishop and Heaven all the way! Cheers and all the best in 2021!

Good job, been going up and down 395 for 42 years. Seems like my entire life has been shaped by the memories of all my experiences spent living it at locations on either side of this highway. To know this highway and become so emotionally attached to it, is to have traveled it in all of the Seasons. Both day and night and during the best and worst weather conditions it has to offer. With the loves of my life, with friends and family or alone. Sometimes because I had too, but mostly because I wanted too. In the towns and the surrounding mountains and desert so much introspect and inspiration, so many adventures. Physical challenges and calculated risks taken when I’ve ventured into the heart of the landscape and left the vehicle waiting at various trailheads that make access so easy to the immensity of it all. Instructions have been made to sprinkle my remains from Coso Junction to the Sonora Pass turn off , so I can become of it and not just in it in the end. Compared to the rest of California so little has changed on the Eastside and there in lies much of it appeal doesn’t it? Thanks for the video

Thanks for posting this! I still remember the snowy night I rolled into Bishop, CA, on March 31, 1998, and made a payphone call to Mammoth Lakes to make sure 395 was clear before attempting to drive up Sherwin Grade. I was on my way to KMMT-FM in Mammoth and a new job as a radio DJ. I lived in Mammoth for a while and made the drive back and forth from Reno and also south on my way to I-10 many times. At the 4:20 mark is the curve in the highway (right by Bridgeport) where I nearly drove off the road and crashed while heading south, after driving over Ebbetts Pass at around 3am. I remember driving past the Lee Vining school on 395 the day after some kids burned it down. I remember so many landmarks that are shown or referred to in this video, Mono Lake, the turnoff to Bodie, Virginia City, Walker Canyon, Topaz Lodge & Casino, and many more. Great video, thanks!

My hubby unloaded it and had to ride back to town for a tow truck. Expensive! We spent the day in the Bishop City park waiting for my brother to get there with a tow bar and take us to Auburn! Love the music too.

From there we headed to Mammoth Lakes, through Bishop to Las Vegas and then even more stops on the way to Chicago. A total of 4296 miles in three weeks. And in all of that trip the part that has stuck with me was driving though California. A beautiful state with lands like nothing I’ve ever seen coming from England as I do. When all this virus stuff is over and as long as you guys will have me, I’m coming back to see more of the place. Until then, videos like this sustain me, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for them.

I miss US 395, here in Southern California. I'm feeling quite sentimental, as I write this. As child growing up in San Diego, during the 60's and 70's, I remember 395 very well. It, along with US 80, were among the major crosstown routes through San Diego County, during that time, up until the early 70's. From the cul-de-sac, at the end of the street where my family lived, in Linda Vista, we could see 395 from the cliff, as it made its way through Mission Valley, into Hillcrest and Balboa Park. It ended at Harbor Drive (former US 101), just outside of Downtown San Diego. US 395 was officially decommissioned in 1970, though some the signs remained for several more years. I was sad to see it go. US 395 was re-signed as State 163, from Downtown into Kearny Mesa. State 163 turns into Interstate 15, just outside Kearny Mesa. I-15 runs from North San Diego County into the Mojave Desert, where 395 begins at its southern terminus, north of Cajon Summit, near the town of Hesperia. I-15, of course, continues northeast from 395 into Nevada.

Dec. 2017----As a truck driver based out of Reno, been to/thru Bishop via 395 thousands of times. It's beautiful during the spring, summer and fall, but during winter, it's a bitch. More than once I'd chain up to make it thru the snow, especially on some of those grades to Bishop for a few miles, then hit wet/slightly slushy road for 15-20 miles at least. Wear out a set of chains real quick that way. When chains were required or it looked like it might be, I'd take 15E to 95S, the 360 turnout till it hits another 2 lane freeway....just can't think of its number right now, but it enters from the east side of Bishop. It's an extra 30 miles or so going this way, but never had to chain up getting to Bishop. Also, ALWAYS been on the lookout for deer during spring, summer & fall. Partner & I were headed for Lone Pine and just out of Walker Canyon when I had told him to slow down because the deer would be migrating. He didn't listen and hit a deer as he rounded a corner. Took us about 20 minutes to unbend his left fender so he could fully turn the wheel. What's funny/strange about this was back in '76(?), brother and I had just left Bridgeport going south and told him the same thing. Yeah, he also hit a deer, but fortunately, there was only a small dent in his fender. Tossed the deer on his hood and turned it into the fish & game people who butchered it to give to some orphanage from what I was told by them. One time my partner & I are headed north and headed downhill south of Walker Canyon when he tells me as he rounded a curve, a cougar WAS on the side of the hill and jumped over the hood of his truck! Then there's that curve just before you enter Lee Vining (Gateway to Yosemite). Driving around 03:00, headed back to Reno when I see something dart across the road and I'm thinking rabbit. But then catch something in my drivers mirror and thinking, oh shit, someone's dog is chasing that rabbit. Pulled over to the right without hitting the sidewalk/guardrail there, then feel thump, thump?! Pulled over, hit the flashers and then went to check the dog in hopes it would have tags of some kind and if not, at least I could get it off the highway and onto the sidewalk for the owner to find. How about when I pulled over to the right, A BLACK BEAR got run over by my trailers tandems?! I'd of tossed that sob into the back of the trailer in a heart beat as I like bear meat. But no way I could jerk lift 300+ pounds of dead weight bear. Called CHP and was told that was the FIFTH bear hit that week! Thanks for the video and memories.

good video, thanks for posting! I have too driven hwy 395 many times from s/ca & the best part of the hwy is what you have filmed.. from bishop going south to s/ca has improved quite a bit over the years, most is 4 lanes now. from the 14 split to the 15 is the worst, especially from 4-corners through Adelanto.

In 1965 I was stationed at China Lake, and a buddy and I decided to hitchhike to Reno. We got a ride from Inyokern to Lee Vining, and another from there into Reno. We got lucky in a casino and were able to afford to take the Greyhound back to the base.

Nice drive when the weather is good. Imagine a foot of snow on the road in those mountains at night. About 20 years ago coming from LA going home to Dayton I ran into a that blizzard. Not like the plains but a mountain snow blitz. I'm lucky to be here after that trip.

I have driven through a couple of heavy blizzards on that route during Winter too. On one trip back to Bishop the snow on the highway was up to the hubs on my 4X4 truck, snow blowing so hard I could hardly see, no one else on the road, found out when I got to Sherwin Grade that they had closed the hwy.

Mike, really nice nice trip and video. I liked the time and mile markers and just keeping track of where you were at the time had to be difficult. Your music choice was good and kept me engaged. I especially like the radio interweave, very easy to watch and follow. Good job.

I drove from Pasadena to Bishop on the first leg of a month-long sightseeing trip that took me to Kentucky via Saskatchewan and many points in between. I still remember the beautiful scenery north of Bishop on 395 on the way to Reno, where I spent two nights at the Comstock Hotel. Thank you for posting this video. I am going to send it to a friend of mine in Switzerland.

Never been to Reno nor Bishop. I have a best friend who just moved back to reno and going to visit her for the first time. I told one of my good friends that Im going to Reno ( with my boyfriend who has never been to Reno as well) she highly recommended that we drive through Bishop California because of its beautiful sights. Our trip will be Henderson, NV >Bishop, Cali> Reno, NV. Trip will be a little longer but after watching this amazing video the drive will be worth it. Thank you for sharing. (:

I agree with StoneCold75 completely. The beautiful countryside, the small towns, the wonderful music with just the right touch of small town radio injections was perfectly done. I also think that perhaps a return trip from Reno to Bishop in the afternoon made about identical to this would be well received by everyone also. Thanks for your very well done work on this!
