Independence in INYO County, The Other Side of California.
This quiet little town in the heart of the Owens Valley has been the County seat of sprawling Inyo County since 1866. The spirit of Paiute Indians, the town's first gold miners, cattle ranchers, railroad builders and movie pioneers still lives on in the shadow of the great Sierra Nevada. Stop awhile and let their memories surround you.
Independence takes its name from Camp Independence, a military outpost established on Oak Creek, July 4, 1862. In the early 1860's many of the miners en route to the gold rush town of Aurora stayed to try their luck in the Owens Valley. By 1865 water diverted from the Owens River worked stamp mills in the Inyo Mts. and "arrastras" crushed the ore of rich veins from mines at 12,000 feet in the High Sierra.
Another good stopping point for a stretch, cup of coffee etc.
Lots of history in this area. Best to come here yourself and experience the whole area.
Cache is cammoed to match and log only...BYOP please.
