Storm coming through Owens Valley
The Sierras received more snow early this week which is a good thing! And we had this amazing cloud in the valley. I know little about clouds, but I
have been told it was a spread out lenticular cloud?? I just know it was a gorgeous thing to see.

THANKS Woody and Harald! I was glad I had my camera with us that day. We had just driven into Bishop to grocery shop, and when we came out ---- wow
Yes, yes, yes, it had to be ET. Around here we have CARMA and more set-ups looking for the edge of the universe and more, and we are not that far
from Area 51. LOVE IT, thank you.

This one was taken right behind Von's in Bishop where we were grocery shopping. After taking a few in that location, we took off and tried other
locations off of some dirt roads, but we ended up liking this one best.
On edit --- it is fun chasing a cloud as it changes so quickly.

Reading another one of your posts and it just dawned on me that we should meet. We have Mammoth and Baja in common. Our primary home is San Diego,
but we spend a lot of time in our other two homes, Mammoth and Rosarito.
Where are you in Baja? And where in the states?

Hi Lori,
We sold our home in Bahia Asuncion and our primary place in Imperial Beach, so now we are simply travelers again with only one home base in Big Pine
for the last 3 years. We originally thought about Mammoth, but too old for too much snow. We intended to move to Bishop, but found a place in the
old part of Big Pine that we liked.
If you would like to meet sometime for lunch here or maybe in Bishop on your way to or from Mammoth, just u2u me. It would be a good thing. :-)

Thanks Ken --- I see a bit more I want to do with the conversion, I think. :-)
I have since learned that yes, it is the Sierra Wave!
Monoloco and Ateo, THANKS --- I wish there were clouds like this more often. :-)

Diana, I rode thru Lone Pine northbound on my old Harley back in '99 and was captivated with all the history on 395, albeit almost croaking from the
heat in July. Loved Convict lake, having put a link to the old Glenn Ford movie. You are really blessed to live in such a neat place. I wonder how
much that area has changed since then.
Regards,
Keith
And now having re read that you live in Big Pine, I think I am off compass? Mi esculpa

When I worked at China Lake/ Ridgecrest for 10 + years our local ski club had a lodge at Mammoth that slept 24 people. Used to drive my kids up every
other weekend for sking during the season. At that tme ('63-'74) I knew every curve, hill and dip on 395.

Keith, July is usually HOT in the valley, but we can escape it by just driving up the hill. :-) And it cools off at night, unlike when we lived in
the Central Valley and Calexico!
Convict Lake is great! Except they have a very overpriced restaurant!
You would probably be surprised how little it has changed around these parts. Yes, there has been change, but not a lot of growth because most of the
land is owned either by The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power or the BLM or is a part of a one of the National Forests.
And if you like the old movies, next time you are through Lone Pine, don't miss the Movie Museum. It wasn't there in 99, and it is really worth
seeing because so many films have been made in the Alabama Hills by Lone Pine --- old and new.
On edit --- you are not off Compass. We are about an hour north of Lone Pine, 13 miles south of Bishop and you had to go through here to get to
Convict Lake! Most people just are annoyed by the 35 mile zone through our small town and don't even notice that it exists.
