The High Road

March 1, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Whenever I go climb at the Buttermilks, I drive from my home to W. Line Street, which takes me out of Bishop and turns into State Highway 168, and I’ll drive along that road for a couple miles before turning off on the Buttermilk Road.   168 continues straight on ahead into the mountains - and over the last month, I’d been wondering where it goes, where does it end up?

So today I grabbed my cameras and drove up 168, resisting that reflex to turn right on Buttermilk Road.  I continued on for about five more miles and the road continued to climb higher and higher in the mountains.  I found myself in the Inyo State Forest.

Much to my suprise, people do live up there, in small villages cradled by the mountains.






With the day’s light fading, I headed back to town. There are so many things to see around here, and hardly enough time to explore!
