Yesterday we stopped for the night in Lone Pine at Boulder Creek RV Park. 
Our job today was to scope out a ride for the motorcycle trip there at the end of the month. We checked out the Movie Road in the Alabama Hills. It’s a beautiful and interesting area, but I’m not sure it’s well suited for street bikes! Note the dirt road!!
So we drove out to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. The road was paved, had some whoop dee doos, and plenty of twisties. Much better!
Tomorrow we’ll be home 🙁

I am sure you are aware of the film museum in Lone Pine (donation) but there is also the Eastern California Museum in Independence, free, a few blocks west of the courthouse, the NPS Visitor Center at 395 and 136 just south of Lone Pine, and the Roosevelt Tree planted in 1913 to commemorate the opening of Westgard Pass, 395 and 168 in Big Pine — it is not a pine but a giant sequoia.

We knew about the film museum but not the rest. We stopped in at the visitor’s center this morning and they suggested the bristle cone pine forest. It was 92 degrees in Lone Pine when we left to go up to the Bristle cone pines and 56 degrees when we got up there. We’re hoping it won’t be too cold to go up there at the end of the month, but if it is, it’s good to have other options.
