Lone Pine
I lived in Lone Pine during the 2004/2005 school year. These pictures were taken in town, but many include the mountains in the background since the Sierra Nevadas are to the west and the Inyos are due east. Early in January 2005 we had a pretty good snow storm that closed the local schools down for the day.

I rented a two bedroom house on Bush Street about one hundred yards from Highway 395. I understand that it was actually built in 1898 (see view #4). That's easily the oldest house I've ever lived in! Right around the corner from the house was a large horse pasture. Looking east from my front porch I could see a sheriff station and the Inyo Mountains. It was quite inspirational to look up and see Mt. Whitney every morning (except for really cloudy mornings) on my walk to work.

School was called off for a single day due to a snow storm early in January 2005. I walked to school that morning in the storm and took a few pictures around the Lo-Inyo campus. Playground equipment has an unusual appearance when covered with snow.
