Every time the Sierra Nevada decides to show off, I fall in love a little more. ••• Mammoth Lakes, Ca #adventurebeckons #395north #sierranevada #owensriver #mammothlakes #eastern alifornia (at Mammoth Lakes, California)
Bentons crossing
We often take simple things like walking without pain for granted. Today super excited because today my wife is walking around like a champ. Taking a stroll isn’t without pain yet, but things are looking up and this will help us assess some other spine issues. For now we need to get back in shape and figure out how to roadtrip without sitting too much. ••• Owens Lakebed • • • • #adventurebeckons #395north #395 #hwy395 #owens #backproblems #healing #sierraNevada #easterncalifornia #letsgosomewhere #livefolk #travelstoke #owenslake #owensriver #owensvalley (at Owens Lake)

Payahuunadü translates to ‘The land of flowing water’, but the word has a much deeper meaning as you dig into the history of the Owens Valley. Before tubing trips, fly fishing, 19th century settler’s and Mulholland’s theft of local water, a The Nüümü (Owens Valley Paiute) flourished in this paradise. As time passes, I've become more conscious of the people that acted as stewards of these fertile lands for millennia. Clues of their presence can be found everywhere as my footsteps lead me past village sites, to old grinding stones, obsidian chippings, and possibly sacred spots long forgotten. It has forced me to spend more time learning about the history of this place as I discover new things for myself. Please take a brief moment to visit http://www.oviwc.org/owens-valley/ Or do a little research on your own into the history of the indigenous people and water politics in the Owens Valley. #owensvalley #owensriver #sierranevada #Payahuunadü #Nüümü #paiute #sierraclub #walkingwater (at Bishop, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RUX8iBPQz/?igshid=1q8j791t5mye3
