Re: Back From Vacation
Never been to Calico. I 'have been to Bishop, California. and Virigina City, Neveda and enjoyed both places. Virgina city (and Gold Hill) are full of history and interesting buildings and the ghost of Mark Twain.
In 1989 I helped a fellow graduate student do field work on the Bishop tuff. We drove from Arizona and took 395 up through Lone Pine, the Owens Valley, and stayed near the town of Bishop. We camped out near a spring (fish spring?) out in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful wiews of the White Mts along the border with Nevada that were swept with summer storms. Mono Lakes area near there is also a interesting place to visit.
Sounds like to me you had a great time and saw some beautiful country.
