6.1, pretty much right under Lone Pine. Felt as far away as Las Vegas. Fuck it, I’m using the good tequila in my Margarita. When Mammoth erupts I want to be adequately lit. ---

There are hundreds of earthquakes every day in California. The Ridgecrest quakes a while back kept everybody on their toes for a while! If you are in the mood to drink, the quantity and magnitude of California earthquakes are a dandy justification! ~VOW ---

Lone Pine – That’s kinda southish, near Gorman or Lebec, but westward towards Cuyama? (Or am I thinking of Los Pinos?) Help me with my geography here. Where’s Lone Pine? I’m in the San Joaquin Valley farther north (think:vicinity of Los Banos), and I hadn’t noticed a thing. ---

> [@Senegoid](#): > > Where’s Lone Pine? Lone Pine is a nice little town in the Owens Valley on US 395 at the base of the Eastern Sierras a little over 200 miles north of LA. It’s the jumping off spot for hikers bound for Mt. Whitney and just south of Manzanar, the WWII internment camp for Japanese Americans. Many movies have been filmed in the Alabama Hills west of town; Lone Pine is the home of the Museum of Western Film History and hosts an annual film festival featuring movies and TV shows filmed there. ---

Is it north of San Bernardino County? Is it south of Sacramento? If the answer to both is yes, then it’s Central California. Doesn’t matter how far east it is. **Senegoid** hit it dead on - the epicenter seems to be Cuyama. No idea as to the depth. ---

lone pine is 3 hours north from where im at its just past Ridgecrest here’s a smidge of info Lone Pine is a census-designated place in Inyo County, California, United States. Lone Pine is located 16 miles south-southeast of Independence, at an elevation of 3,727 feet. The population was 2,035 at the 2010 census, up from 1,655 at the 2000 census.[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Pine,_California) ---

My bad. The report came out of Cuyama. The epicenter on the map is just south of Lone Pine. Sorry. ---

I’ve actually experienced a couple of earthquakes in Lone Pine, both on the same day. It’s been a while and I don’t remember what they measured, but the first one woke me up in the middle of the night and it shook me up enough to get up and head for the hotel room door. Later that day the second one hit when I was in a souvenir shop, strong enough to rattle the trinkets on the shelves pretty good. After the shaking stopped the shop owner breathed a huge sigh of relief, as did most of the customers.
