Before we left Mammoth Lakes, our neighbor told us his daughter would drive three hundred miles for a "Mono Cone" in Lee Vining, CA on the edge of Mono Lake after he heard that was our destination today. After settling into our RV space at Mono Vista RV Park, we were off to drive the length of the only street in town to find and test what would make a young woman drive three hundred miles.
We drove up, we drove down and finally all around the buildings on Main Street with no luck. Alas, it was not meant to be. And then we saw it! Yes, the shop was on Main Street and we had passed it three times not recognizing the name in the script-like writing on the front of their building sort of hidden under the overhang.
We walked up to the window and ordered the large vanilla and chocolate swirl cone and gave it a go. Yes, I am happy to report they are delicious. Would I drive three hundred miles? No. Was it delicious? Yes! The portion was gigantic (not large.) We sat there and devoured every savory slurp watching person after person follow us to the window. And that was dinner. I feel like a kid again and who says you can't have whatever you want for dinner? Hence the saying, "Life is uncertain! Eat dessert first!"
