WINTER IN THE SIERRAS
The winter of 1968-69 had almost as much snow as the win-
ter of 1879-80 when the town of Mammoth (present Mam-
moth Lakes) was abandoned by the miners. In the 1879-80
winter three miners were frozen to death, and by the next
summer the settlement was a ghost town. At one time there
were two papers along with stores and saloons. This is a
vacationist's paradise with plenty of winter sports; in the
summer there is fishing, hiking trails and ghost towns to see.
Recent volcanic activity is evident in the region in the most
part at the Devil's Post Pile National Monument where two
foot diameter columns of basalt prisms may be seen...M.P.
