Catherine your videos are among the highest quality on CZcams. Your selection of background music to fit the particular scene isn’t happening by accident. As a former photographer back in the days of film and large format photography I can say unequivocally that your work is the byproduct of your passion for photography and your love of nature. Carry on Catherine…you have the very best show on CZcams. 🤠
Love these small towns. When I did a cross country trip a few years ago, the small midwest towns were my favorite. Lots of character and amazing food!
I’m dating myself, but I remember when the Eastern Sierras were almost empty of “tourists”. Seems everyone went to Yosemite in the West. I’ve always loved Lone Pine, Bridgeport and the beautiful mountains and valley. Thanks for the video!
For my Dear Friend Catherine, This video was well worth the wait. 1 extra day and on a major holiday. Well, young lady, to say U have OUT DONE YOURSELF, would be an understatement. What wonderful new style video for you. Humans have loved a good story since they sat around the campfire. People,places and things. Before the spoken word there was the dance, acting out the stories. The story tellers were always revered by the elders and the peoples. What a wonderful trip down ur beloved Sierra's. Your very soul is as free as the wind while there. Ur photography as always kis breathe taking. Nice to C your old camper again. I deeply enjoyed 😉 your adventure this weekend and on the holiday. Thank your family for giving you time to film on their holiday weekend as well. In closing my long winded statement, l enjoyed your new video style very much, thank you. For u sweetie 🎉 I picked them myself. 😊
Thank you 🙏
If you aren’t a writer, you should be!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures go
my family has ranches north of there,big ranches--Lone Pine is just a place next to some very nice mountains--all the LA people have ruined the place--women who move there and try to raise a family hate the place--when you just visit a place you know nothing--move there and find the real deal--you will move away just like everybody else
The Hitchhiker directed by Ida Lupino was shot there? Cool. Ida Lupino, a master of film noir, was excellent on both sides of the camera. In those days a female director was unheard of but she proved to be unstoppable and unique. The great Lupino family of actors and performers go back 300 years in the entertainment industry. She was the real thing. A powerhouse.
Gorgeous area! I would love to see more small towns!
I used to drive through Lone Pine every summer with my Dad and brothers on our way to the Sierras for camping and backpacking from 1968 to 1985. Thank you for making this video. It brought back a lot of good memories.
Catherine, we have been to lone Pine so many times, and my husband has climbed the mountaineering trail of Whitney. Thank you so much for visiting some of our smaller towns, especially and showing others how special they are.
Exactly - we are here one year after this video and the "LEAVE NO TRACE" could not be more important. Thanks for the video.
Catherine! I saw the title of your video and my very first thought was BISHOP, CA! I was so close! But I’m right, too, as the Eastern Sierra is the most stunning place in CA. I’ve lived & traveled the entire state all my life (I’m 61) and with ocean views, lake views, desert views, Mountain View’s … Bishop (and now Lone Pine) are my top 3 views of all times. I’m sure the guests at the campgrounds include Bishop Mule Days participants & fans. And rightly so. Bishop Mule Days one of the best family events ever. I am glad to see so much snow on the the Sierras as we need that run-off to last. I also loved the music you played with your video. I enjoyed this content so much and appreciate all of the history of the area you included. Al the best, Laura ❤
You certainly do not shortcut on content for us, Cat 👌👍❣️ your historical narrative is full & satisfying our interest to places 'out there' which I've not visited. Phenomenal scenery as always. I've heard about the Alabama Hills before with pictures, but you out do them all. I can see why you love that area❤ so much. Have a wonderful safe week ahead 💕
Thank you so much Barbara!
Thank you ... thank you ... thank you ...!!!🤓
I can believe it got full everywhere Catherine, especially on Memorial Day. Look at the snow, bet Tioga Pass is probably still closed with that snowpack. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, used to live in Mammoth and Bishop. I'd probably still live in Mammoth except for those 60 feet of snow Winters, got old fast.
I remember that 2017 video of you camping in the Alabama Hills. I remember telling you we used to call them the Iron Hills from Lord of the Rings I guess and we hunted rattlesnakes for antivenin.
I remember driving up to Whitney Portal in an old pickup with the heater blowing full blast to keep from over-heating. A little trick to any younger viewers, your heater is an extra radiator.
Another great video Catherine. I always look forward to your scenic shots and narrative.
Ansel Adams took many wonderful B&W pictures in the Alabama Hills.
As someone who is getting ready to hit the road soon, I would love to see more of this content. While it's great for us introverts to spend time alone in beautiful campsites it is still important to get out and mingle and hear stories and learn history of the area. Thank you
Sounds like me...I'm a bit of an introvert but love talking to the local folks on road trips and hearing stories.
Holy Cow….Alabama Hills is one of our favorite places! We had a near disaster, we planned to stay at Whitney Portal Campground with a 25’ Airstream! Fortunately, Carol’s Sister alerted us that the campground was closed. We stopped at the Visitor Center and confirmed…but we had no idea Whitney Portal was at the top! We would have been in so much trouble if we had gone up there with our Airstream and the Campground closed….there would have been anywhere to turn around! We learned a really big lesson…now I double check all campgrounds for access. Anyway, we love that area…
You would have come across a sign that recommends no trailers beyond a certain point. There is a one way loop in the parking lot at the top, but it’s tight.
Wow! I will be adding this to my bucket list. So glad you added the small town, restaurant and museum to this video. Thanks
Lone Pine is one of the most beautiful places. I was there in 97 and it was just so striking. Good Job!
Love this !❤ I absolutely love mountains n the flowers are beautiful. It makes me want to take a shovel n dig lol I love the small towns n the history. That diner was awesome! I would love the decor n looking at the old film posters. The museum is amazing. I love history n beauty so u can’t go wrong sharing these hidden gems . I’ve never been to California n Likely never will so I truly enjoy all your videos. I love the hiking / backcountry Best But I love to do those things ! But I also love the scenery n history of places and was a great video. Beautiful areas ! Thanks for sharing n safe travels
I enjoy driving through the Four Corners area - less populated mountains and deserts - small towns and less traffic.
I always drive the backroads and stay away from the interstates I have discovered some cool places on the backroads
Hi Mike!
Yes, please more small town footage.
Catherine, i added a comment below, but just want to show my appreciation for sharing your travel life with us. All the best, Laura
Thank you Laura.
Yes, really enjoy knowing where to camp and seeing the town, as well as the beautiful scenery.
Enthralling views, the sierra nevadas a crown jewel indeed, as well as Catherine's channel, God bless your travels.
You filled me up with beauty, love and gratitude here.
How many times did I say, Thank you Cat?
super +++
Awesome! Thank you for sharing an area close to your heart. I can't wait to visit. 👍😎🇨🇦🌲
Absolutely loved this video. Will add this place to the very long list of places to visit. I love seeing small towns that are rich in history. Thank you for another great video.
We have been camping in the eastern sierras for many years and I always enjoy stopping in Lone Pine. This fall when we head up the 395 I will insist that we stop at the museum, I’ve always wanted to go. Thank you for showing off this great little town!
Thank you for yet another wonderful video. My late father was raised in Lone Pine, was fiercely proud of the place and is interred in the cemetery north of town. He would have enjoyed this as much as, if not more than I. He and I climbed Mt. Whitney when I was nine. It was the best bonding moment we ever had. Again, thank you, Catherine.
Many Lone Pine area memories with my dad and brothers, we grew up in California city less than 90 minutes away. Then with many friends through the years. Check out my comment above about almost making it there today, then seeing Cat's video--very thankful. Best to you Brian :).
Great episode. We came across Lone Pine after driving through Death Valley on our first trip to the US, from the UK. We’d never heard of it but stayed a night and absolutely fell in love with it. We’ve been back once since then and hope someday to see it again, so yes, please show us some of the more interesting towns, as well as the hikes - they can be special places too.
Truly, truly one of my favourite places on this entire planet. The beautiful Sierra Nevada, stunning valleys, Death Valley just off to the east - just magical!
Lovely backdrop for a town. The Eastern Sierras definitely a stunning place.
I always appreciate the historical information on the areas too 😊 👍💜
I like tours of small town areas near the exceptionally awesome places.
This is probably one of my favorite videos ever. You gave us so much information here. The scenic view is mind blowing. One day I will be able to camp there and enjoy my solitude and those mountains OMG. America is beautiful. Your editing is A+, absolutely no question about it.
As always what amazing scenery! A-freaking-mazing! 😊
My aunt Bessie for most of her life. She was walking 20 mi a day into her 70s. She lived to be over a hundred.
Sold my jeep wrangler in Costa Mesa CA and bought a 1997 Honda VT1100 motorcycle. I rode it to Lone Pine and met my nephew, family and friends there. Cool town! Left there and took off across death valley to Vegas. A trip I'll never forget. RIP Nate, love you always.
Spent a week in Bishop last fall exploring from Mammoth to Lone Pine, so much to see and do in that area, fall colors are spectacular .😊
Been through Lone pine many times but my son and I now slow down and explore all the back roads in all the 395 towns. And yes,we fish.
Really enjoyed this. So, "YES" to more small town explorations.
WOW. Your videos are out of this WORLD!!!
I have watched every single video you made , what enjoyable videos omg. Is like traveling with you .
Those little towns are the best !!!
Looking forward to next Sunday !!
Stay well !!
I always love all of your videos. You put so much detail into everything cat keep them coming, but you would not catch me out on the road on a holiday.😂😂😂😂😂 I am strictly a off the grid non-holiday camper and yes, people got to pick up their garbage take photographs leave foot prints that’s it keep the videos coming and I’m surprised to see so much snow on the Sierras that’s a good thing keep those desert flowers are blooming ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Always happy to see my local stomping grounds through your eyes, Cat. I've never been to the Lone Pine Visitor's center. Looks like a cool place to visit! As you know, I'm a fisherman, so I usually gravitate to places with a lake nearby. I'm a fan of the town of Bishop. It's close to the high sierras, where I like to spend my Summer weekends out of the desert heat. Have you ever been to Kernville, and the upper Kern River? I'd like to see you do a video of that area. The Kern River Valley is an interesting place. Further North from Kernville is the Trail of 100 Giants, one of the premier groves of giant sequoias. The Kern River Valley is an easy one-hour drive from me, and another one of my favorite destinations. Excited to see what next week's video holds! Hopefully, you'll still be in the area.
Hi Mark. Thank you. I haven’t been to Kernville, but definitely plan on doing some videos in the area. :)
Love Lone Pine. It's so interesting, great hiking too. Safe travels.
Welcome back to CA! Love Lone Pine!
Yes - a good idea, Catherine; the combination of a small town visit with a scenic area around, as an alternative some weeks to the longer backcountry hiking trips. Best wishes.
Spectacular scenery.
Interesting little town.
It is certainly a good idea to feature towns near where you hike as it gives people an idea of whats near by.
One of the things I love most about the Eastern Sierra is the low humidity and crisp air.
Excellent job. You captured the Movie Museum and *most* importantly, even mentioned Tremors.
The museum is a must see attraction, much to my and my wife's total surprise.
Insanely Clear Skies - so beautiful!!
Wow, this brings back memories of my cross-country motorcycle trip in 1994. I stayed there overnight in one of those old motels. It doesn't look like it has changed that much.
I went here in 2015. Lone Pine Area is an awesome place to visit. You make me want to go there again!
Very nice Catherine! I know you put a ton of work into this and I for one give it a great big thumbs up and saying ,, Thank you!!
I inherited a great deal. I'm only a few weeks away now from living again.... ty Catherine
🌻👍🏻💚
Your love for the Eastern Sierra is palpable in the videos. The movie history for Hollywood buffs makes Lone Pine a must. I am sure that you have had the experience of watching a movie, TV show or commercial and felt the "I know that place -- the Bamas!" thrill.
That is an amazing area! It seems almost every mile along the 395 is some sort of creek running down from the mountains. Aberdine was a favorite stopping place on our way home from Mono Lakes camping. Our tradition became my daughter would quickly catch and release a fish then we'd be on our way. I haven't been up that way in years and this video and format is a great way to bring back some awesome memories! Thank you! BTW don't forget "Gunga Din" was filmed in that area too!
I know, "things change", but it sure makes me sentimental for the "old days" when camping was so cheap and easy. I remember back in the 80's I spent a month traveling around Arizona with a friend, and we spent a total of $80 each for food and gas.
I love Lone Pine. I fished several times on the June Lake Loop and Lone Pine was my favorite restocking town, refueling the vehicles and our stomachs.
I love all the historical facts! TY!
You are an Artist! Safe travels!
Great looking town, thanks for taking us along, stunning views. Safe travels. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
barnegat light state park, long beach island, new jersey, they have paper bags to put your trash in, was there a couple of weeks ago, and witnessed someone taking all of them, when asking the park ranger, she told us that happens quite a bit.
Ugh!!
Yes to more conTent like this👍🙏🏻🌈🙏🏻
Beautiful small town, I love small towns! Alabama hills and Tuttle look like great camping areas. Thanks for another great video Kat!
I drove down for work and they have the most amazing locals there, I felt I was on vacation and part of their family while I was there. Great video Catherine!
Very nice presentation Catherine. Beautiful photography, well written narrative and lovely music!. I feel drawn to Lone Pine / Independence after hearing stories many many years ago by my beautiful grandmother; stories of a wonderful childhood spent there before Owens Valley was virtually destroyed by the Los Angeles water grab. She was born in Camp Independence in 1888 and her mother died in 1896 and her dad then remarried and moved to Florida. Anyway, I finally got to visit it in 2017, but didn't stay out there as long as I would like to have. I hope to get back out there, maybe this year. Happy Memorial Day!
Amazing that your grandmother was born there, our family camped and fished in the Eastern Sierra starting in the early 1970s. Lived less than 90 minutes south. It's so sweet to totally relax and walk/hike at many special spots like Whitney Portal. Very therapeutic and inspirational energy.
Yes!! I love Lone Pine. I love the Alabama Hills. I love that most people just pass by on their way to Mammoth.
I’ve hiked the Pacific Crest trail five times Mexico to Canada and Lone Pine is a must layover point for hikers. Great food, a fantastic hostel and campground friendly people and all the amenities a traveler needs.
I would like to see more content like this. I love small towns. Such great imagery you captured. I live in California and I never knew there was such beauty there. Definitely need to take a trip. There are so much I haven't seen right of my own state. It's criminal.
I love that area and the towns on the north 395. Beautiful scenery.
hi catherine, i love your videomaking style. the vibe is mellow and chill and corresponds with the subject which are these beautiful natural spaces. been watching ur backpacking and car camping videos, pls dont stop
Loved this! Planning a hwy 395 trip this fall . Lone pine was top on list!
When I saw the title I thought Lone Pine. Just back from a week there. And sure enough we agree. Amazing place for a photographer.
Really enjoyed your video! Absolutely beautiful mountains and scenery! Thank you for taking me along with you to places I'll never get to see!
I visited relatives in Line Pine many , many times !!!! Thanks for showcasing this iconic village !!!!
Took one month trip exploring Hwy 395 as a solo female hiker and tent camper. Went back home, packed everything up and moved to the High Sierras. You could spend a lifetime on Hwy 395 and still not see all the beautiful places and people.
Very Very Nice, we enjoyed this Video 💓
Thank you, Catherine for another great video presentation. Yes, I would love to see more similar videos in these awesome little towns that are jewels along the way.
I love these informative type videos. Im on the East coast and we have nothing cool like this here. Its all woods and Ocean and little 3500ft mountains which is considered a "hill" out there.
Such beautiful places, dream destinations for sure. Thank you Catherine for showing them.
... and yes, more town features would be great, please. Gotta love Schats Bakery in Bishop and Mammoth as I assume you do. I suggest featuring the town park in Bishop, very gracious, tranquil, has a stream, tennis courts, community pool, free water, huge shady trees, spacious lawns. Schats right across the street!!
Thanks, enjoyed the trip very much
I dig you are following your dreams in Big Sky Country! Say high to Brent at Cerro Gordo.
Yes, I like seeing the small towns. Very interesting and very beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing everything with us.
Wonderful video! They should hire you to promote tourism.
Definitely one of my favorite trips along gorgeous 395. So much to see.
Lone Pine, you are so right!!!
Great video! Please let's see more ! Thanks for sharing this with us! 😊
I ah e been there many times, I have marvelous memories!❤
I loved your video. I am 73 and was born and raised in SoCal. I do not remember Alabama Hills. I sure enjoyed your video about the small towns you enjoy. My in-laws lived in Bishop but have since passed away. My parents took me to see Northern California and we would tent camp. My Dad was a backpacker and would go on trips with the Sierra Club. Thank you for your CZcams videos.
Loved it, & thank you Cat. Hope to see more. Love small, interesting towns. :)
We have got to go to Lone Pine. What a beautiful video. We are leaving for a trip in July, I'm putting that little town on the list. Thank you for this.
I have driven through Lone Pine numerous times, but always on a time crunch, going to or from family events. So I have never stopped. I had no clue what I was missing!!! So gorgeous! Thank you sincerely for sharing!
The 395 N from Lancaster to Bishop is one of my favorite drives. Thank you for sharing!
Great video very informative!
I’ve driven past many times on the way too and from Yosemite. In 2018 I spent three days there photographing the Alabama Hills, bristlecone pines and many of the roads that lead off into the distance. The last became the cover of a friend’s book. I join you in a love of Lone Pine.
