Aside from the previously posted Engagement Thing, a Road Trip happened.
Image
From Vegas we drove to Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park. There's a Ghost Town up there called Berlin, as well as one of the largest concentrations of Ichthyosaur Fossils in the US.
The Whole Album is here: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/lordmoo ... osaur%20SP
Selected Photos:

The Stamp Mill. Used for crushing the ore that came out of the mountain.

The remains of the boiler

The inside of one of the houses on site

Image
Can of Sierra Beer
Image
Blasting Cap Tins

They sure did love their syrup.
Image
The miners used Carbide Lamps
Image
There were people there well after 1910 or thereabouts when the mine closed down. This is a kerosene hand warmer with "Made in Occupied Japan" stamped on it.

I also did some stacked star trail photos up there, but the moon was super full and bright. So they're not stunning.

On the road from Berlin to Lee Vining, CA. The next stop on the trip. We had a quick stop in Hawthorne, NV to see the Munitions Museum there.

We left Mono Lake, and headed south on US 395 towards Mammoth. Found a little place called June Lake.

From there we went to Mammoth:

And the final stop was the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. Which was closed. But I still got a few good pics.

Nice pics! I've spent some time up in those parts, seen completely different things! Didn't know about the Munitions Museum or the Bristlecone forest. Those both sound pretty cool. Did you come back through Panamint Valley? There's a resort (well, one building with some rooms) up there that for some reason I've always wanted to stay at.

Oh, and, are those HDR photos, at least of the forest?

Everything in the 3rd post down is HDR. :)

Panamint is off SR190, a bit further south. We took SR168 across the mountains which is where the Forest thingy is. Unfortunately, the road to the actual forest was closed for "winter" or something. So we had to content ourselves with the scenic view afforded by being ~10000 feet up and looking at Yosemite. Super awesome view up there.

I think the munitions museum is fairly new. It wasn't there when I was working up in Hawthorne ~15 years or so ago.

Just by way of comparison. Here is the frozen lake image from my Cell Phone (Cort was taking pics too.)
Image
And here is the HDR image I took.

The Panorama of the Big Tree did something weird to the top of it.
Image
And the HDR version
