Rock and Roll

We have a bet. I say that when the "big one" hits, this rock will tumble down and hit the station. Other family members are not so sure.


Supposedly, a scientist of some sort was hired to determine whether the station is at risk. The scientist allegedly determined that it is safe.

After this view, I am not convinced.


The rock and the station have been living side by side for quite a while with no problems yet. The locals joke about it, but do not appear to be concerned. Time will tell.

The June Lake Volunteer Fire Dept. protects the area in and around June Lake Calif. They have a huge picnic on the second Saturday in August. It is their primary fundraiser and it is a ball. I have attended many of them over the years and plan on attending more. If you ever happen to be in the area on the second Saturday in August, stop by the picnic, eat some BBQ and buy some raffle tickets. You might win something and the food will not disappoint.


If you can't make it for the picnic, just drive through the June Lake loop. Better yet, rent a cabin or camp for a week or so. You won't be disappointed.

We weren't camping in June this year, but stopped by to see a buddy who has lived there for ever. It was a great day with temperatures in the high seventies. It was 107 at home that day.

Thanks for reading,

  1. With gravity not on their side, what stops them from nudging that rock over to the *other* side?

  2. I don't know fche, that rock sits on a little hill, maybe they don't want it to start rolling around. It is kind of famous, maybe they like it there and are willing to take the risk.

    Thanks for commenting.

  3. Gotta figure the rock will take the path of least resistance. Which, with only those two Schmoetographs to go by, I think it will either land on the apron (where it could make that ambulance cease to exist) or on the road. If it went straight towards the station that tree could nudge it out of the way.

    Maybe.

  4. Dear Captain,
    June Lake looks Lovely. The rock formation belongs in the Flintstones. Maybe it reminds the crew that S--t happens? Or, not . . .

    Great pix. I must say, you do understand vacation.
