I used to live in Darwin, about 50 years ago, it seems to have grown some, my first girl friend was their, her family had resided their for generations, her first name began with an M, I wondered the desert all around there, including what was called "tower mountain" not a mountain. I recall instinct causing me to circle around and check my back trail (with my brother) and we were being tracked by a very large cougar, we never saw him/her, so was probably just curious, but good instincts.
Cerro Gordo also had an aerial tram that went down to Keeler. The current owner of Cerro Gordo has a youtube channel.
My grandparents worked/lived in these areas and my mother was born in Lone Pine in the 1930s. Good video.
As someone who lives in LA, why did LA get so large? The natural water we get here isn't enough to support the population here and there's not even groundwater and thus have to get water from a hundred miles away.
I watched the whole thing. interesting. too bad on the trip to Darwin, you missed the only bar and best tacos in the world that my mom and me made back in 68 69. I was 16, 17, had to fire up the generator every morning to cool off the beer for the miners. My mom made the taco meat, and I fried all of the taco shells in a cast iron skillet, using two forks. trip to town(Lone pine) to pick up supplies and beer every week. My entertainment during the week, was going out into the old cadillac, and listenting to XERB with Wolfman jack after dark only (atmospherics) Trips to Lone pine, visiting people like cindy, Theone Johnson, and Karen anderson, Ross, was my only connection to sanity. There was one girl in Darwin, Her dad talked to my dad. My mom and Dad said, stay away from her or her dad will hurt you. Hello David reese and rayetta.
I'm amazed that LA could just buy all the natural water resources upstream and then just destroy an entire ecosystem with no consequences. US never ceases to amaze me.
Check out the film High Sierra starring Humphrey Bogart...he's leader of a robbery gang to hold up a hotel and the ending car chase through Lone Pine and ends up on the "Highest Crag" in the High Sierra, Mt. Whitney for the ultimate shootout. Another must-see Lone Pine film is Bad Day at Black Rock starring Spencer Tracey. It was filmed in Lone Pine where he gets into a tussle with the locals while investigating a guy who disappeared. Ernie Borgnine and Spencer get into a hell of a fight and Spencer plays a one-armed man!
The siblings and I used to swim in the keeler plunge. Still my favorite place on earth
I read when they filmed THE BIG VALLEY on location, Lone Pine was often the area they chose. Stanwyck actually requested that her ashes be spread in the Lone Pine area, so much did she love that countryside.
if youre interested in cerro gordo Ghost Town Living is the channel of the owner. theyve made alot of progress fixing up the town.
We just took a road trip up to Bishop for the weekend, love all of highway 395, nostalgia.
Just what I need for my springtime 2023 road trip. Thanks! 😊
I would like to sincerely thank y'all for these wonderful videos! I live in Hollister (about 45 minutes SSE of Silicon Valley), and used to go on road trips, camping, fishing, hiking or just adventures with friends then my children. 2011 I got very ill (doctors told me, "You've got 6 months to live, one year if you're lucky.") But I'm STILL HERE, enjoying grandchildren who love me; I've been teaching them how to camp, fish, cook over open fires, use & sharpen a knife properly, do things safely etc.
I really enjoyed your music selection. And it was nice revisiting this area with the added historical facts I had not had during my travels.
Thank you both for your efforts to provide wonderful guided tours of the historic west. I am sure that Huell Houser is looking down with a big smile.
I love your maps, and the narration!!
Well put together. Great sequencing. Very well thought out. Impressive.
Thank you so very much. This video of yours is one of the best of its kind :)
Excellent job, watched many of these, yours one of the best
The 395 and communities/roads off of it offer and endless amount of adventurers. Thanks for capturing here. I've got some more ideas now!
