The storm dropped a fair amount of rain in the Owens Valley, and snow on the peaks. Scattered snow showers this evening at the higher elevations. Still windy and cold. This is how it looks this evening (digi pic) in Lone Pine:
Los Angeles needs the water.Originally Posted by Laura_Campbell
They do. Don't forget to pull the chain.
Water is okay but the wind was a bitch!
Returned last night from a lovely 8 days, greatly helped by members of this forum-thanks again! After arriving in Reno I drove to Bodie beating the chain requirements on 395 by several hours. Winds at Bodie were very high for the two hours I had prior to the park closing. Due to weather I went straight to Lone Pine/DV the latter high temp of only 85! Bristlecone(couldn't quite get to top-snow), Crowley Lake, June Lakes Loop, Mono Lake, Tioga/Yosemite Park all great (Yosemite Village not so great), drive around Tahoe and Truckee very enjoyable, before returning to what I found to be a seemingly sad city of Reno, as evidenced by the people down on their luck in the River Walk area.
One story to relate-TSA at the Reno airport suggested the scanner was not good for film, hence I had two choices: either have it scanned, or open the 4X5 exposed film boxes. I convinced the supervisor to use my film changing bag, which after about 15 minutes of training, seemed to work. I could tell that she opened one of the four boxes, and seemed to do it correctly. The supervisor will recommend that changing bags be purchased; with training for the TSA folks that deal with film issues.
