What great photos! Thank you for posting them with the descriptive prose. (I got here via a rabbit trail from the WhitneyZone message boards!)

Fantastic read; the whole series. Amazes me how much history is in the Sierras. Beyond the obvious beauty and awe they generate, there is much to learn about the region!

It’s great to see everyone enjoying all these pictures. It takes a lot of time and effort to get to the point of taking them. Then you have to sort out the ones to put on the site and add all of the info about them. I’m deeply grateful for all your work. You inspire us all!

Dave,

I just discovered your photoblog on the Pine Creek tungsten mines – I hiked into the Pine Creek trail system, and saw the tungsten mines across the canyon to the north – until I read your blog, I had no idea the mining operation was so extensive, or operated until 12 years ago. The history in the area is astounding, and your photos showed us so much more than we see on the south trail system – thanks again for posting!

Hi Dave, Really enjoyed your pictures,when I lived in the area I liked hiking to the old mines.I worked for Gary with Sierra Pacific Airlines in 1976, I really enjoyed living in the Bishop area and getting to know Gary and hear his stories about the area. I went on to fly for United Airlines. I believe you knew my aunt Jean Parker from many years ago, my grandfather started the Mt.Whitney fish hatchery in 1917…….Keep the pictures coming, I love the area…….regards, Tom McCloud
