Miles from nowhere, guess I'll take my time

Beautiful pic. I always get a little leery up at elevation with clouds like that.

Thank you J-Kno,

We were nailed by thunder, lightning and hail at the backpacker's campsite the evening before and the morning of the start of our hike. That morning, instead of starting out early in hail and lightning, we threw everything in my covered truck bed and hauled down the mountain for breakfast in Lone Pine, then went back up. It rained on us a bit on the way up, but only an hour or so with the rain gear on. After that, seven days of wonderful cloud formations and light shows during the golden and blue hours.

That is a cool story. I love that whole corridor of 395, from Lone Pine, through the Owens Valley and Bishop to Gardnerville. As a kid, we used to fish the June Lake "loop", Hot creek, convict lake and others whose names escape me now. That is really the only part of Cali I miss...

This is Cottonwood Lk #3. The trout superhighway is about the only thing worth missing.
