Could be a good idea, considering how many accidents seem to happen at that intersection.

The Inyo County Sheriff’s Office is relieved to announce that Kelsey Pittman has been located alive in the state of Colorado.

I was driving to work as usual, around 5am this morning, and saw this fire up on Wheeler Crest. I'm assuming lightning fire, since it's high up on the ridge, and there are no trails anywhere near where the fire is. Hopefully it'll just burn itself out soon...

Interesting article on Darwin, CA. If you're in Inyo county, and love ghost towns, you should check it out.

Have you seen her?

Altitude sickness is no joke, folks. If you're coming from near sea level, please take any signs seriously.

Foal found shot on BLM land east of Mono lake. What piece of shit shoots a wild foal? Jeez.

It ain't over. Still a terrible reconciliation bill.

Under the proposal, Glass Creek and Big Springs campgrounds will have a new single site fee of $25 per night and a new extra-vehicle fee of $5. Hartley Springs, Grandview, Upper and Lower Deadman Campgrounds will have a new single site fee of $20 per site, per night, and a new extra vehicle fee of $5 as well.

Also, the Whitney Portal Trailhead permit fee will increase from $15 to $25 per person.

Cool! If you're in Independence for the 4th, check it out.

What Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Mean for Campers

Under the new fire safety regulations:

No campfires are allowed in dispersed or backcountry areas

Portable stoves are only permitted in designated, developed recreation sites

Campfire permits are still required where fires are allowed

Displayed on a site where American citizens were held against their will for more than three years, the signs encourage visitors to report any depictions of U.S. history that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living” or fail to highlight the “beauty, abundance or grandeur” of the landscape, according to a Manzanar official.

Dispersed campfires on the ground will no longer be permitted, but those in designated developed recreation sites, as well as portable stoves, still be allowed with a California Campfire Permit.

Officials said that building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire, including charcoal briquettes, will be prohibited, except in developed recreation sites.

Lands affected by the fire restrictions extend from the southern Owens Valley in Inyo County to Topaz Lake and the Nevada border in Mono County.

Restrictions also apply to the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area, Inyo Mountains Wilderness, Volcanic Tableland, Long Valley, Adobe Valley, Mono Basin, Bodie Hills, Bridgeport Valley and Slinkard Valley.
