The 395 and Owens Valley-Eastern Sierra Region

Freaking awesome

 

Part 1 of 4. Trip report for our time in the Eastern Sierra.



...I don't know if they are less well known, harder to get to, or I was just oblivious, but while I've driven past the majestic peaks numerous times - on my way to and from Death Valley - I've never really taken the time to explore the eastern side of the mountain range that boasts the tallest peak (Mt. Whitney, at 14,505 feet) in the contiguous United States.

But, over the last few years - as I've ventured into the Volcanic Tablelands, and here and there within the Owens Valley - I've reveled in the rocky faces and snowy peaks. Now, finally, we'd get a chance to explore - climbing to elevations of more than 12,000 feet - as we lake hop in the Eastern Sierra....

Pretty sure this is a direct ripoff of a YouTube video I did of the same areas.

 

Those are your tools trails, huh?

 

You should start a thread on IFS to cry about it. lol

 

Or I could just jump in the one he already created to whine in.

 

I tried. Danny's got the software set so only I can see my posts. lol

 

Lol. I’ll text him to see if he will let u back in. JKO is giving him shit in the thread.

 

Thanks man. Honestly it's way better for Timmy that my posts aren't visible. lol

 

Seems like he's still bitter. lol

 

He’s looking at it for me. Guess he forgot he had you on global ignore. You may be back in a few.

 

From Danny
“Fine. But he can still suck my balls and I'll probably throw him back on global ignore later.”
Now go rip on that guy

 

I already chummed the waters. Now I'll just see what bites. lol

 

Can we please stay on topic?

 

BTW, I would expect @theesotericone might know the fisherman. His name is Steve and he is a Bishop resident.

 

thanks for making this totally over populated on the weekends, over-used and stressed out area blip on the radar...

 

You should thank these guys. This article started it all. Still fucking pissed about it.

There was once a time when anyone can show up to Funnel Lake on a weekend and be the only one there. Now, can't even find a spot to park because of how many are there on the weekends..

 

I feel your pain man. There's still a few spots to get away from it all but Coyote is no longer one of them.
