OK, this weekend, October 7th, 8th and 9th, Lone Pine, California(Hwy 395) will be having their annual film festival.
I'm leaving Saturday morning at about 8 AM and heading up there for the festivities. It is about 190 miles from Pasadena. Last year I had lunch and then walked around town, took in the local art scene and admired the "back drop." Lone Pine is at the base on Mt. Whitney and it is beautiful.
C'mon, this ride is awesome. We will take ACH to AFH to 14 north to 395 north.
