That’s actually my Cavemanshop under the living quarters, lots of reclaimed wood and storage built specifically to fit the dreaded black bins with yellow tops.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1631225459.jpg

Got in a bicycle ride to Lake Armstrong today, it’s just asking for a kayak visit

Wider angle storage cabinet made from old cedar fence boards, this was all just plastic covered dirt when we bought the house, 3-5 tons of concrete blocks on top of a couple more tons of drainage gravel later it’s a very quiet, cool space as big as the house footprint, 45’ x 30.
I’m figuring out how to fill it up

My son on the "International Shark" I borrow from a friend when I need a back hoe:)

Looks great and sounds like an excellent use of space. Bravo!

After spending a short week in the eastern Sierra, I decided to take a
Long way home and follow the money (water) down to el lay.

A little south of the LA Aqueduct intake (Owens River)

For most of its distance the water flows in concrete lined ditches.

I’d never been to Lake Hughes, but I’d heard a lot about the Rock Inn. And all the good I’d heard turned out to be true!

The Aqueduct enters its longest tunnel nearby under Lake Elizabeth. 5.5 miles long and dug from both ends. Nearly 5 years in they met up just about an inch off from one another.

After the Elizabeth Tunnel the water flows in many above-ground pipes. Often they go all the way down to the valley floors and back up the other side. Siphons.

Mulholland built several hydro powerplants along the route. There are no pumps along the entire distance, but the water does fall from a high of around 4000’ above sea level to nearly sea level, so he took advantage of that fall and generated electricity along the way.
And speaking of fall, this particular power plant was completely wiped out by the falling water after his San Francisquito Dam collapsed…

If you’ve ever travelled the state on the 5 near Magic Mountain you might have seen the Cascades. The water leaves the pipes, comes down the hill, goes under the freeway and into a reservoir for the good people of Los Angeles to drink!

I think my second cleaning of the camera view finder focus screen will result in easier focusing so I've decided to keep the camera.
Shot with Fujifilm ASA 400, old roll I found in my cabinet. Can't blame the camera for that.

Great stuff Dave. Really appreciate your posts of interesting places and history. I can help a little with some non-stock cascade photos from 2013:
