The columns of Crowley lake are mysterious and interesting. The white soil is a lot like pumice rock, but the erosion patterns look like columns from a lost civilization. The road to get there was intensely rough. At first I thought that I could navigate it, but after the first stretch and a new dent in the running board, I decided that the effort wasn't worth it, I'd rather take the longer hike to the columns. Ginger had fun running off leash on the beach for a little bit. It's great to see her so excited and happy.
The wild camping area off Owens Gorge road is fantastic! There is a maze of dirt trails/ roads around rock formations and large pine trees. The snowcapped Sierras are visible to the west. We found a nice "cubby hole" where we had space to camp, and returned for three nights of camping.
