Part 2 of the Cross-Country Morgan Retrieval.
Sight unseen, we bought a 1952 Morgan on the other side of the country. Now the fun part: Tim and Margie Suddard get to retrieve it.
Death Valley’s claim of being the hottest place in America is well earned. When we woke up the next mornin…
In the hotter areas of CA, many old timers turn off their hot water heaters in the summer. That becomes the "cold" water side since water stored in the turned-off hot water tank invariably feels a lot cooler than what's coming out of the ground. Showering and washing are accomplished by using straight city water from a main buried no more than a foot below the surface and often less than that.
I was also hoping you'd catch a shot of the Alabama Fire on Whitney Portal Road just west of Lone Pine. Manzanar is between Lone Pine and Independence. A couple of years ago, climbers found the long lost remains of a Manzanar internee who snuck out of the camp and headed into the Sierra for some fishing at the end of the war when security was more lax. Others in his party said he fell and hit his head on some talus. They buried him under a rock cairn but could not find the place again. The Forest Service identified the man using survivor DNA.
