First Fishing Trip of the Year

This past Saturday, we left in the morning to try out fishing in Lone Pine. We stopped at our favorite Tuttle Creek, but unfortunately, other people had the same idea, so it was very crowded, and the only 4 unfortunate fish that we saw were trying to be caught by all of these people.

So we had our lunch:
and headed off to the Tuttle Creek catchpond, but it was full of algae and the people we saw who were fishing weren't catching anything. We hung out there for awhile and just enjoyed the day and then headed to the Lone Pine Film Museum that we have never been to. The amazing Alabama Hills are in Lone Pine on the way to Tuttle Creek, and many, many a movie has been filmed there. Recently, Jeff and Isabelle watched "Tremors" together, so it was fun showing Isabelle the spots where it was filmed. And, here it is in the museum:
Melina's favorite part of the museum was the 2 horses outside. She has a very loud "whinney" that we hear every time she sees a horse.

To end the day, Jeff dropped me off at the Pizza Factory, while he took the girls to the park (the parks are always so much better than in Ridgecrest--and not just because they are new and different--they really are better!). I waited for our pizza, called Jeff when it was ready, and then we headed back in the direction of home to explore Ash Creek, where we ate our dinner and briefly explored the area.
Then we headed home! A great day, but I was tired!
