Sunset in the Alabama Hills - Friday 9/29/2006


We had a great drive up to Lone Pine at the base of Mount Whitney in the Owens Valley. It was not windy and highway 395 has been recently repaved, so pulling the trailer up there was the best ever.

We’ve got the set-up thing pretty well figured out, and we were able to get from our campground to the Alabama Hills just before sunset.

We followed the Movie Road to a site where a battle scene for Gunga Din was shot and Hydra tried out his new metal detector.


He found a penny! From 2005!

Only 1,994 more and the metal detector will have paid for itself!



In his defense, he did also find several nails, bottle caps, big staples, spent bullet casings, one bullet and a horse shoe over the course of the weekend.
