Day 34:
October 30, 2015: Alabama Hills to Trona Pinnacles, CA
Nice
walk with some scrambling in it among the Alabama Hills…a diy walk with no
prefab trail with an arch that we found.
Drive
to Fossil Falls (North of Ridgecrest, CA) to have a little walk and see the
work the ancient falls did (no water now).
Volcanic Rock worn by water.
A
short stop was made at the closed BLM Wild Horse & Burro adoption
agency. We couldn’t find one to tie up as a tow for our RV so we passed on bringing one
back to NY. We did discover that
although the office was closed the dirt road around the facility was wide open
for carrot feeding! So some select
recipients got pieces of carrots. We saw
zero burros. The horses looked well
cared for and healthy.
Drive
to our night’s overnight parking spot at Trona Pinnacles. The road in was rather rough…washboard gravel
and approximately 7 miles long. It is
Friday night and there is only one other camper here…not bad for
California. Walk amongst the pinnacles.
Here is something I learned about the western US...just because something is name "lake" or "Falls", that doesn't mean there is actually water there! In the east, there is actual water connected with those terms.
