I was stationed at Norton AFB, San Bernardino (87’-93’). A bunch of us would travel up the 395 to Mammoth to ski every year passing through Bishop. Being young and foolish, we never “stopped to smell the roses” such as the Laws, CA. Thank you so much for this! God bless you two and have a Merry Christmas! By the way… LOVED your imitation of my favorite president Ronald Reagan!

I spent 2 years (1970-72) at the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake in the US of N. Spent many days roaming around the area and, in the winter/ski season, would frequent one of the diners in Lone Pine and just watch the snow bunnies take a break from their trips to Mammoth...solid headlights on 395 on Fridays, and solid red taillights on Sundays! Played in a couple of basketball tournaments in Lone Pine...the "gym" had herringbone oak floors so there was absolutely no "give" and we all suffered from shin splints. I believe Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd) either lived in Lone Pine or had relatives, there. Cute little town...probably much larger, these days./

The railroad never ran to Carson City. The Carson and Colorado Railroad went over Montgomery Pass and reached Mound House, Nevada. It was narrow guage. After the line to Mina was standard guaged, at Mina it met up with the standard guage railroad (originally Central Paciic, then Southern Pacific,). The Carson and Colorado Railroad abandoned the route over Montgomery Pass and was renamed Southern Pacific Railroad (still narrow guage with 3 foot between the rails). They continued to interchange with the standard guage Southern Pacific at nearby Ownyo. The narrow guage continued to run south to Keeler and transported minerals - including Talc and Perlite. The turntable, oil and water tanks are original (and original location)

the Southern Pacific Railroad closed their branch to Mina in 1985, which destroyed what little remained of the local economy. The railroad faciities were razed and the rails pulled up. I was through there several times since. The motel is closed as are most of the shops. (Motel would have subsisted greatly on overnighting railroad crews from Sparks. Heck, even the brothels that used to advertise their wares on the south end of town seemed to have closed down with the advertising falling into disrepair. Still its an interesting bit of history in this town. When the elder residents pass, its likely the town will disappear. No reason for youngsters to move in. Nearest work would be in Hawthorne but thats a ways away. Mina might make an interesting stop for the History Hunters!

I would love to visit this place! Thank you for taking us along for the tour! I worked for a jeweler back in the mid 90’s. He collected Lionel trains. He had a full village with trains set up in his basement. I could watch that for hours. There was a blacksmith shop next to my grandparents house. When I would go stay there on vacation in the early 60’s my cousin and I would go in it. There was old parts and equipment in there from who knows when. My cousin and I would say it smelled old in there. 😊A young craftsman bought my grandparents house in the 80’s. He cleared out the old equipment but kept the building intact. He uses it as his wood shop. It is still half moon shaped with the old red wood. Those horses were there to say hi to Sarah for her birthday! 🎂🎈🎉

I grew up in bishop and spent my childhood summers riding my bike to laws almost every weekend. It’s the first place I fell in love with history. There was talks years ago about restoring the train and creating a tourist line (along the old route) similar to the ones in Colorado, or the Verde Valley in Arizona. A few years back they got the Death Valley rail car running for trips up and down the functional track. The library at laws is the original Presbyterian church from in town. The current 20 mule team is almost a staple of the Rose Parade down in Pasadena. I’m so happy to see that laws is still an area attraction. It’s tan solely by volunteers and there’s an entire community of railroad enthusiasts who raise money to keep it open.

I knew of the Laws Museum because it is the home for the reproduction 20-mule team Borax ore wagons and water tank wagon that come out for Bishop Mule Days and other public parade events. They participated once in the Rose Parade in Pasadena. The wagons were built by Dave Engel of Engels Coach Shop in Joliet, Montana and he maintains a KZbin channel where you can see the construction of these wagons and their subsequent use in parades, etc. This museum is a worthy stopover for anyone traveling highway 395 on the backsides of the Sierras.

I was staying in Bishop in 1954 to 1956 off and on the way to Sierra Nevada Twin Lakes to fish for brown trout. I caught a 16 inch one when I was 10 years old, it really fought hard too. Do they have guards in Bishop now? Kids will vandalize and steal everything if they don't! We need the DRAFT again! One of your greatest episodes Jeff & Sarah! I will watch it over & over again. I love horses like Sarah does! Amazing things to see and I don't remember very much at all. I met the Indian chief who was a little boy right after the battle with the 7th Cavalry with Lt. Colonel George A. Custer. The Chief liked American Flyer train that I bought when I met him, amazing old gentleman.

They used to have steamboats on the river in the Owens Valley back in the 1800’s. Can you imagine??? Thanks Jeff & Sarah!♥️ Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans!

No, I can't imagine steamboats on the Owens Lake but this year was so wet that there was water in that dry bed once again! Hopefully we can have another wet year in California!

Really impressed with that museum. I didn't expect to see that much. I liked the sound effects they had at the mine. The 20-mule team display was excellent. Thanks for taking us along!

Hi . This is quite the historic town. Lots of ancient items to see. The lambs with two heads and bodies joined were very freaky. Loved the old train station . The old phone was cool. The jail was also cool. Lots of old tractors and other machinery. Even a horse or more. The old classic cars. Great things to see. Thanks for vlogging. Take care . Deborah 🇨🇦

Oh yeah, I know Elisha Cook. He was in Shane! I heard he lived somewhere over there but didn’t know it was Bishop! Thanks! I wonder if he had a grave or if he was cremated.
