Southwest 2010 / Days 1 - 3

May 5th to 7th

The first three days of my trip down south with my friend Bill saw us cover a lot of ground. Well technically, this should be days 2-4, but I didn't take any photos on the first day of driving. The first morning of the trip, after camping at Pine Mtn Observatory in central Oregon (photos 1-2), it was cold and snowing! From there, we headed south and on day two we briefly stopped at Mono Lake (7-12) and then went on an afternoon hike in the John Muir Wilderness (13-22). On the third day, we started at a gorgeous campground near Lone Pine, CA (32-33), then went further south and drove up to the ghost town of Cerro Gordo (31-33) above Owens Lake, CA (35). Then it was onward, further south with a quick stop at Red Rock Canyon State Recreation Area (39-43) and then we finished the third day by walking through the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve (44-65).

Please note that GPS coordinates only locate the approximate areas where the photos were taken and may not be accurate. My detailed GPS tracklogs were lost due to a software glitch.
