I'm planning to fly a 182 from SF Bay (RHV) to Mammoth Lakes for the
long weekend. Any tips from people who've been there?

Be mindful of the wind. Landing 27, you'll see hills on the approach
that should make you think about air movement.

Be mindful of the mountains. Don't go at night your first time.

Don't expect to walk to town. There's a guy with a dog I'd recommend
for taxi service

but I don't recall his information.

The FBO closes fairly early. I don't think there are restrooms
accessible after they close.

Thanks Kyler.

I'll make a note of it.

I was there once, driving. The note in the A/FD is well taken. No
night, no IFR on first trip.

Shouldn't be a problem, friends driving up from LA are scheduled to
pick me up.
