Last week our son Poncho and his wife Bev were here and boy, did we have some fun.
We spent a day near Mono Lake and in Adobe Valley chasing wild horses. We spent a day in the White Mountains and saw Big Horn Sheep, The Bristlecone Pine Forest, and the east side of the Whites. We even spent an afternoon in the Buttermilks and a morning with E. Clampus Vitus in Mammoth. I’ve got photos and videos from each of those days on the way.
To start, here is a video of our ride through Buttermilk. Poncho, Brandon and I decided to go for a short afternoon trip into the Tungsten City Hills. The rocks out there look like they were set in place by Paul Bunyon. In one spot, you’ll see some of Paul Bunyon’s rocks that some early settlers built a camp site into. It’s an amazing spot.
Also, higher in Tunsgten City, we went to an old open-pit Tungsten mine that still has a bunch of equipment laying around. We explored that area for a little while and then headed back down to the house.
We’ve got short video here of the afternoon with SLR video, GoPro video, and some still photos. We’ve got the Silver Canyon trip coming up next so stay tuned.

Another great video with picture and special effects! Looks like you guys were having some real fun going through that rugged territory. The videos and pictures makes us all feel like we were along for the adventure. Good to see Poncho had some time to get down to the ranch to enjoy the outing with you and Brandon. Keep up the great job with the videos and pictures. Looks like the GoPro is doing its job!
By the way, how are those new batteries working out with the UTV? I can’t wait to see more on all your projects. You’ve got so many interesting things going on all the time. Take care everyone!
