At camp after dinner.

Next morning, on the way to Keeler with a few stops along the way.

The vehicles parked at the Salt Tram.

We stopped at the Salt Tram to check out the remains of the stuctures.

Another view of the tram. The tram was used to transport salt from the Saline Valley over the Inyo Mountains to the Owens Valley. The tram is at about 8,800 feet.

More of the tram's stucture.

Gear

This looks like a giant disc brake. The disc is about 8 feet across.

John, Tom, Norma and Sooz on the planks.

Cori up in the building's stucture.

Looking east at one of the tram's towers and the Saline Valley beyond.

Walking the planks to the west end.

View of Owens Lake to the west.

Zoomed in on three of the towers that lead to the Owens Valley.

Cabin at the tram.

Back on the road. Cori kicking up a little dust up ahead.

Tom and Norma in the side mirror.

View of the Owens Valley. Lot of great views from this road.

Another stop to get a view of Mexican Spring.

Looking down the canyon to the buildings at Mexican Spring.

The group ahead.

Getting ready for the hike to Pleasant Mountain.

Looking up the ridge to peak. This was a really short hike with about a 800 foot gain.

Cori, Tom and Norma up ahead.

Group shot on Pleasant Mountain at 9,690 feet.

Had to use Cori's photo, the timer on my camera didn't go off.

Our entries in the peak register. Tom Gossett and his group were the last folks here before us a month ago.

Norma checking out an old tree which was just below the peak.

Another view of Owens Lake and the Sierra.

View to the north.

Looking down on our vehicles at lower left and the road we drove in on.

On the road heading to the Cerro Gordo Mine. The road was like this for half a mile, glad no one was coming the other way.

First view of the Cerro Gordo Mine.

Some of the buildings at the mine site.

Bottle collection at the mine's museum.

Drill bits.

Driving down the road to Keeler.

Saw something strange up ahead.

Piles of ammo boxes under camouflage netting.
