This seems to be a warning from the Bishop Police Department to deter travelers from visiting. Meanwhile, Mammoth Lake appears to be thriving and progressing, while Bishop seems to be deteriorating due to a lack of tourists. I can confidently say I will never stay in Bishop again.

Probably not as visible as they might be, but they do a good job. Check out their Facebook page…read more They even have a Bishop Police app!

It was really refreshing to have a good encounter with such a professional and all around great law enforcement officer who wasn't trying to see how much worse of a day they could make us have. My apologies for not remembering your name sir but on behalf of my family we thank you and Godbless you !!

Reading the previous review of Officer Otten, I couldn't disagree more!! I do respect others…read moreopinions though. I was stranded at the side of the road a few miles before Big Pine, was anxious and somewhat afraid. The car was so hot and it was unsafe to get out due to everyone whizzing by. I had already called AAA. He pulled up and approached me with a smile, saw what was wrong, talked to me and stayed until AAA arrived. As the step-mother of a CHP officer I was impressed with his kindness and professionalism. It was so refreshing to see a man who truly loves his job!!! Thank you Officer Otten!!!!!

September 6, 2026 - Beatty, NV…read more We stopped in Beatty, NV, for an overnight stay on our road trip and had some time to explore, so I looked for something nearby. Rhyolite was only about 15 minutes away, so off we went. Additionally, Tom Kelly's Bottle House and the Goldwell Open Air Museum are along the way, so we got three interesting stops for the price of one. Rhyolite is a glimpse into Nevada's mining-town past. Most of the town has faded into crumbling walls and scattered ruins, but signs throughout the site explain what once stood there, often paired with old photos showing the buildings in their heyday. Seeing those images alongside the remains really helps you picture the bustling town that once occupied this now-quiet stretch of desert. The train depot is the highlight, as it's the most intact building and gives you the best feel for Rhyolite as it once was. Then there's the wonderfully quirky Bottle House, built from thousands of bottles, followed by the Goldwell Open Air Museum and its larger-than-life desert sculptures. Both were unexpected--and fun--additions to the outing. What started as a quick side trip turned into a memorable afternoon of ghost-town ruins, quirky history, and desert art. If you're staying in Beatty, Rhyolite is definitely worth the short drive!

This is such a cool stop if you're passing through Nevada! The historic town of Rhyolite is only 10…read moreminutes from the town of Beatty and about 1hr 40min from Vegas. I love history like this so I was super excited. I came here for the Tom Kelly Glass House. When you first walk up, there is a sign explaining the history of the house. Next to it, there is a sign in sheet so you can see where people have travelled from to checkout the house. I was amazed by how many people had recently been there! It's a short stop, just walk up and take a few pictures of the house. Look inside. Take in the history. I would definitely recommend adding this stop to your trip if you're passing through! Ohhh also, the Goldwell Museum is only a minute drive from the Tom Kelly Bottle House. Check out that place too and be respectful of the artwork!

I went into the DMV in Bishop mid-August since my DL was going to expire mid-Sept…read more I stated that I did not receive renewal information in the mail. They said it must have gone to an old address and then they sent me home to apply for the renewal online. THEY NEVER CORRECTED THE ADDRESS. Such a simple task was not completed and my DL went elsewhere. It's a day away from Oct and I still have not gotten my license and they made it seem like it was my error. Expect the most minimal of customer service.

I visited this DMV to get my REAL ID. The first visit I was told I needed a Certified copy of my…read morename change. Nothing else was indicated. Upon my second visit, with the requested document, I was then told I needed something showing my physical address. In Mammoth Lakes we do not get US mail at our physical address due to snow. Nothing else was indicated. Upon my third visit, with the document requested, I was then told it also had to show my PO Box. Nothing else was indicated. Shortly after this visit, I hadn't been anywhere else, I came down with the RSV virus. I was extremely sick for three weeks. Upon my fourth visit, with the requested documents, I was then told I needed legal documents showing my name changes from two previous marriages and divorce. Documents 40 and 50 years old. Needless to say, I was extremely furious and frustrated! Why did it take FOUR visits to be told this?! And this was after waiting in line for a ticket, the employee verifying my paperwork, given a number and once again waiting. It was a waste of my time and money and theirs. Each visit was a 90 minute round trip along with all the time waiting. I am flying in June so decided to just go with a passport. Which I easily obtained. The employees need to be better trained as to what documents are needed from the person sitting in front of them to eliminate this from happening again to someone else. When I checked off all the boxes of what was needed, nowhere did it state needing these last documents. It wasn't until I googled exactly what was requested did it show this. It shouldn't have taken four visits to the DMV!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience warrants one…read more I hired Central Valley Process Servers to serve documents and e-file a proof of service for a scheduled court hearing. I paid the additional fee for the filing service and was specifically told by the owner, Jesse Moraga, that the proof of service had been filed on June 4, 2026 at 10:09 AM. I have the email confirming this and will be attaching it to this review. Relying on that representation, I appeared in court believing all required paperwork had been properly handled. To my surprise, the judge informed us that the proof of service was not properly before the court. We were forced to address the issue in open court, and the hearing was only able to proceed because opposing counsel agreed to continue the matter. Had opposing counsel objected, the consequences could have been far more serious and could have significantly impacted the case. What makes this even more concerning is that I relied on a statement that turned out to be false. I was specifically told the filing had been completed when it had not. This was not simply a matter of a document being filed late without anyone knowing. I was affirmatively advised that the filing had already been completed, which gave me every reason to believe there was nothing left to worry about before the hearing. The negligence alone was bad enough, but the response afterward was even more disappointing. Rather than taking responsibility, apologizing, or acknowledging the seriousness of the situation, I was met with excuses, blame shifting, and a dismissive attitude. The focus quickly became my frustration with the situation instead of the filing failure that caused it. Process servers handle important legal matters where deadlines and court filings matter. Clients hire them specifically to avoid mistakes like this. If a company is going to advertise professional process serving and e-filing services, then it should be held accountable when those services are not performed correctly. The proof of service was eventually filed, but only after the issue had already surfaced in court. In my opinion, that is unacceptable. The negligence, lack of accountability, and inaccurate information provided to me regarding the filing status are the reasons for this review. Based on my experience, I would not trust this company with an important court matter.
