High Sierra Topix

It seems like everyone is okay.

Biggg rocks on the road--even cracked the pavement.

Ha, nice work! Feel free to delete this to save space on them servers, then!

I was at Chicken Spring Lake out of Cottowood Pass Trailhead just erecting my tend when the earthquake hit. It was a big jolt. I stumbled sideways and heard a loud crack. On the very top of the peak above the lake, a boulder the size of a small car, broke off. I watched it tumble until it came to rest on a ledge above the lake.
I was in Lone Pine the day before and felt the 4.5. I didn't feel any aftershocks at the lake. I heard from other hikers that they closed but then reopened Horseshoe Meadows Road, and that the Sheriff's Office put a notice on cars at the gate closure that the area was unstable and to leave immediately. They asked to call to let them know hikers were safe. I didn't leave but stayed to complete my trip. I called them later to let them know the Cottonwood Pass trail didn't suffer any damage due to the quake.
