Packing up

Today the container was arriving at white mountain research centre. There were five of us loading the container and it was soon all in and ready to go.





After this Denise and I made our way up to the ancient bristlecone forests. They have dated some of these trees as old as 4000 years old and they think these are the oldest living things on the planet. The trees are quite small considering how old they are but have fantastic shapes and colours.

After this we headed through Independence and stopped at Manzanar. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor the Americans sent anyone of Japanese decent to live in internment camps Manzanar was one of these camps located in the middle of the Owens Valley. There wasn’t much of it left only the main school building which has been converted into a museum,
