Fossil Falls is an interesting geologic formation, located off Hwy-395 on the way to Lone Pine. The black basalt rock formation was formed by an actual waterfall, from erosion fire and water of ancient lava flows, through erosion.
I stopped in a ghost town as I ventured north along Hwy-395. It is February 2025 and I decided to set out on a roadtrip along Hwy-395 which runs alongside the eastern Sierra. A swath of towering high peaks and wild untamed wilderness await along this scenic highway. It is unlike any other place on the planet or California, which is one of the most beautiful states in the lower 48.

Well I was there in spirit at least.I had only been to a conference at a hotel here once, and it was not even downtown. Enough said, it was time to see old town Sacramento. I had been intrigued by this place for a long time, after learning about it in history books, and in documentaries on the old west. The Transcontinental Railway begins there, and there are so many things that have happened here over the years.
