clikrf8 > Bristlecone Pine National Preserve lies in the White Mountain Range between Eastern California and Western Nevada. From Big Pine, a charming small town on California State Highway 395, you follow Highway 168 East to the Preserve turnoff. A very windy narrow road leads up to the 9 mile rutted washboarded gravel road to Patriarch Grove  at 11,000 feet altitude. You can see the harsh environment in which they exist. It appears that the harsher the environment, the longer lived the species.
clikrf8 > The town of Bodie, California grew from a gold discovery in the early 1860s. Once populated by 10,000 hardy souls (winters are harsh at 9,000 feet), Bodie is now the best preserved ghost town in California. Now part of the California State Parks system, it is preserved in a state of "arrested decay". Lutheran Church built of Jeffrey pine mellowed to a golden brown over years exposed to the wind, snow and sun of Bodie.

clikrf8 > Most people drive right by many of the roads that wind their way into the Eastern Sierra Nevada Range on their way to Mammoth or Yosemite. This was right off the highway looking toward the west and the Sierra Nevada Range as the sun was rising in the east. I believe it was past the southern turnoff for Mammoth Lakes.
