Movies at the Lone Pine Movie Museum

DianaT - 8-20-2013 at 07:17 PM

Just for fun. The museum is really worth seeing more than once.

The second one is Hopalong Cassidy.

The fourth may be Have Gun Will Travel. Not sure.

Can't make out the rest.

Dang. Now I'm gonna be humming Have Gun Will Travel for days.

So Walter White is sitting in front of you. That explains a lot.


EDIT - Explains a lot about Breaking Bad. Just making a joke.:saint:

That museum is great, we love Lone Pine. We passed thru there yesterday after a nice weekend fishing near Coyote Flats above Bishop.

Love the museum, Alabama Hills, visitor center, Horseshoe Meadows, 395.and the video they show at the museum. Video is $10---- they had to get permission from lawyers of each segment in the video--- and it ends with this song which is a hoot!!!

Love that museum............stop everytime

Here is another one: ever stopped in Boron? On 56 (I think) going through the Mojave Desert? Great, interesting museum especially if you are over 60 and remember the show Death Valley Days. Boron is still a working mine and pit. Amazing looking down into it.

I was at that museum two weeks ago with my wife and kids. I never knew all them movies were filmed out there. Definitely a place to explore.

You should take the Alabama Hills loop tour. Many movies to include the original Gunga Din were filmed out there. If you get out and walk around you might find some interesting stuff.

Might even find some brass cases from the 5 in 1 blanks:

Thank you for the recommendation. Next time I'm up there I'll check it out.

I always enjoyed the Eastern California Museum in Independence.

Yep, you can spend hours in there, and we have many times.

The Natl. Park Service visitor center at Manzanar Relocation Camp (reads: WW-II Japanese Internment camp) is a real winner also----plan on several hours to see it right, along with the outside displays and tour.

High Desret

J.P. - 8-21-2013 at 10:27 AM

Back in the late 60's I spent a lot of time up there . I was a young Ironworker working for Fontana Steel , They and others had contracts working on the water pumping stations, siphons and miles and miles of concrete lined v ditch. we once stayed at Ludlow for a year or so building bridges for the new freeway I 40. it was back then I began to form a real interest in the desert. Maybe it reminded me of home I grew up in the high plains of Texas at a place called PAMPA.

TMW - 8-21-2013 at 01:42 PM

Certainly a place to see with lots to see. I've been to Manzanar. It was an amazing place.

Have you ever noticed than when a stagecoach is shown it usully is with the horses at a gallop or at least a fast paced trot. When a covered wagon is shown is at a walk.

nbacc - 8-21-2013 at 02:21 PM

hummmmmmm interesting. Never noticed but I think you are correct.

Come to think of it, yes. Why is that?

Now I have one for you:

Have you ever noticed that in the series "Wagon Train" they're always going somewhere but they never seemed to get there?

I will take a stab at these puzzlers---------"covered wagons" are really heavy------"stage coaches" really light. In reality, horses were seldom made to "run" as they wore out fast (except in the movies).

If you read the many historical documents of "the crossing" to the west from the east in "wagon trains", many pioneers comment on the intermitable time it took to "get there"-------many never made it at all, and turned back, or died. The stats are appalling!!!

Any other questions? :lol:

As a young boy I spent time at Trona. California. My Grandfather worked for the railroad and my Grandmother as a librarian. I lived in Ridgecrest, Ca. and so I visited Trona many times.
It is my understanding that Trona is still an operating mining area

DianaT - 8-21-2013 at 07:16 PM

Lots to see around this area and the museum mentioned are well worth a visit --- actually worth more than one visit.

It was fun to take these pictures while watching the really well done short documentary, and yes, the song at the end is great.

We visited Trona last year, drove and walked around for several hours---------yes, it definitely is still an "operating mining area" but the community was looking pretty rag-tag last year--------mining infrastructure looked well maintained, however.
