#BreakingNews: The #PackFire in #MonoCounty is spreading fast. 1,000 acres burned near #Hwy395 & McGee Creek Rd, forcing mandatory #evacuations around #CrowleyLake, Sunny Slopes, and north toward Mammoth Yosemite Airport. Highway 395 is closed.
Star reporter @mkkeown.bsky.social took her canoe #QuillTheCanoe, to #CrowleyLake on Saturday...
The calm after the storm... #Paddling #CrowleyLake at #sunset. Part of #KiviPark, Crowley is def worth an outing, as long as you portage into #LintonLake. Way prettier than Crowley and the trail is super easy. I can't wait to go back for golden hour... #GetOutside #ExploreTheNorth #NorthernOntario
Crowley Columns, California.
The columns range in height from a few feet to over 20 feet, and many feature symmetrical grooves or ridges.

Where an Ancient Explosion Becomes Modern Art Photographer friend Armando and I went on a road trip to the Sierra Nevada mountains, with the goal to take photos of the Stone Columns at Crowley Lake near Mammoth Lakes. The columns look man-made, like designed by Antoni Gaudí. However they are a natural wonder. Crowley Lake was buried and hidden for ages under the tons of pumice and volcanic ash from a cataclysmic explosion 760,000 years ago. The columns were created by the melting snow seeping down into the hot volcanic ash. As the water boiled, it created evenly spaced convection cells similar to vertical heat pipes. These pipes were cemented into place by minerals, which were able to resist the erosion of the surrounding forces such as wind and strong waves. We waited until nigh fall. Armando operated my camera with Dream Lens. I took off shoes and socks, and waded in the dark with a strong LED light. I illuminated the columns from behind to give the scene a mysterious look. -- ƒ/8.0, 50 mm, 1/15, 0.3, 1, 4, 6, 8, 15, 30 sec, ISO 100, Sony A7 II, Canon 50mm f0.95 "Dream Lens", HDR, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, © 2025 Peter Thoeny, Quality HDR Photography

US Hwy 395 northbound looking at a snowy mountain landscape plus a blue sky with high wispy clouds. Photo by Jenifer Hanen.
Today I borrowed my Mom's AWD SUV w/ snow tires so I could happily drive 3 hours north to Reno & back to enjoy the delights of the early winter season in the Eastern Sierra + Trader Joe's. It snowed on the way back.

An Indigenous People’s grinding stone near #CrowleyLake in the #EasternSierras, #California (Sept, 2020).
What amazed me the most about this was that it wasn’t protected yet people have respectfully left it alone for many, many years.

Yellow leaved aspen trees at a campground with a picnic table in the middle ground and yellow autumnal leaves covering the ground.
Fall has definitely fallen on the last day at McGee Creek RV park campground.
