Odd Bits
Photos that do not relate to kayaking, but do relate to the Eastern Sierra in
some fashion or other. Photos posted for friends to view, that we had
nowhere else to post.

Here is the world's most scenic garbage dump. Lone Pine's own landfill,
recently changed the location in the landfill where you dump your trash.
Photo taken by Keith on 19 November 2007. Clear morning. Lone Pine
Peak and Mt. Whitney provide the beauty.

Alabama Hills Rock Gardens
Or, a kayak playing "Ironman". These photos were taken in same area as
much of the movie Ironman was filmed.
For ocean kayakers, a rock garden is a basically a bunch of boulders/rock
formations that you can kayak in and around. Here is Lone Pine's own
version...
