Runtoeat Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 CT, looks like a nice airport in a beautiful area but not much around it? How did this get established and what supports it - camping and hiking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbigs Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Lee Vining, CA is more noteworthy because it sits on the shore of Mono Lake, is near the old west ghost town of Bodie (and was founded as a mining camp by Leroy Vining in 1852 a couple of years after the CA gold rush started). And it's at 7,000 feet. CT prolly flys there a lot because it's near Mammoth too, where he lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yup. I looked at Google and see it's near Mammoth, CA and is either in or near Yosemite park. Wish I was closer to these areas. I've been through there a number of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdarza Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I had the chance to visit Bodie a few months ago. Interesting 'ghost town' to visit. Interesting in that its an old abandoned town but thats about it. My visit was mid summer so alot of foreign tourists like myself. It would be quite eerie to go when no one is around, which i recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 CT, looks like a nice airport in a beautiful area but not much around it? How did this get established and what supports it - camping and hiking? I have wondered that myself Dick, not just Lee Vining but Bridgeport, Mammoth, Bishop, Independence and Lone Pine airports. I think the only reason they exist in the first place was to make development and maintenance of the LA aqueduct easier. I'm thinking they are all on Los Angeles Department of Water and Power land. Mammoth Yosemite's growth is supported by FAA funds The others are supported by Inyo and Mono Counties. Their maintainence is usually minimal and these are very big and remote counties.
