My fellow photographer and I were about 15 minutes south of Lee Vining just off HWY 120 taking photos of the incoming storm when my SUV wouldn't start. We had two bars on our cell phones. I called AAA who finally pinpointed our location on a map. That info was relayed to the AAA contracted towing service in Lee Vining - the Shell Station. Thirty minutes passed and after checking my phone I noticed Cortney from Lee Vining Shell had been trying to call me - I hadn't heard the rings. Finally we connected and she had not been given our location. Once I told her, she knew immediately where we were. 15 minutes later she came driving over the hill, saw us and turned on her flashing hazard lights! The cavalry had arrived! LOL! Within a few minutes we were driving back (battery had been jumped) with the tow truck just behind. We pulled right into the Shell Service Station where Cortney's grandfather (owner of the station), came out and ran a diagnostic on my battery. All good so something else is wrong. We drove back across Tioga Pass to Fresno and home the next morning without ever turning off the ignition. Cortney and her grandfather are great people. Very nice and happy to help. The kind of people you feel you've known for years. Cortney even told us where to get a pizza! Suffice to say I highly recommend Shell Service in Lee Vining (just off HWY 395 on the east side of the road). I've attached one of my photos from that adventure. read more
