https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979388

080325-4652FossilFalls

No fossils, no falls :-) The lava which has been weathered into these odd shapes, drops off to a 50-foot high gully in the middle of the shot.

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979389

080325-4654FossilFallsShadow

On a dirt road on the way to the Big Pine Distributors is this ruin of a siding. The mountains are getting larger and closer, and more snow is evident.

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979406

080325-4692SofBartlettOwensLake

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979426

080325-4705RdToHorseshoeMdws

I wanted to take the zig-zag road to Horseshoe Meadows, but the ranger said it was gated pretty low down, as was Whitney Portal and other roads up the mountains.

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979427

080325-4707LonePineSign

Just as well I didn't head up the mountain as I still had places to go and explore.

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979428

080325-4708LonePineBus

This bus was in the parking lot between Carl's Jr restaurant and a small park. After a quick bite to eat, I'm off to...

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979450

080325-4718AlabHillsMovieRd

Movie Rd leads through the area of the Alabama Hills known as Movie Flats because it is featured in many Western movies and TV shows. This view is in the opposite direction, though :-)

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979451

080325-4719AlabHillsOneMile

Some arches or rocks are individually named. This area is about a mile from the road intersection, where I thought I would find the One Mile arch, but didn't...

https://specialk.slickpic.com/albums/2RcrstAlHllsMnzLws/photo/#3979453
