De La Cour Ranch, Eastern Sierras near Lone Pine, California, December 27-28, 2016

De La Cour Ranch, Eastern Sierras near Lone Pine, California,  December 27-28, 2016



with Indra, Alex, Kiran



On our trip to Manzanar, we stayed at an organic farm/ranch.  We had propane heat, but no electricity.  So we played board games by battery light after dark.  It was so fun!

In the morning I went for a high altitude run in the crisp, quiet mountain air, and Kiran learned to feed the farm animals.

We found a Tesla charging station for our zero-emissions trip at the Western Film History Museum. During the WW2 era, a feature film a month was shot in the Alabama Hills, between Lone Pine and Manzanar (which are about 6-8 miles apart).  Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, John Wayne, Cline Eastwood... They were all there.  One episode of Star Wars was shot there, too.

















Alex tried to charge the car from the barn...good thing there was a charging station in town at the Film History Museum!
