Taking one of my usual flights up Owens Valley, from Lone Pine, (O26), California, (the site of many Hollywood Cowboy films), to Bishop (KBIH), in my trusty Cessna 152 Aerobat, I stopped off at Independence Airstrip (2O7), and, as usual, I Wikipedia'd the local information for Independence which revealed this amazing snippet of useful information...>>>

Quote:
Independence is the county seat of Inyo County, California. Independence is located 41 miles (66 km) south-southeast of Bishop,[3] at an elevation of 3930 feet (1198 m).[2] The population of this census-designated place was 669 at the 2010 census, up from 574 at the 2000 census. This was mostly because inmates at the county jail are now included.
End quote.

Desperate measures to increase the population of this hot, remote, desolate, snake-infested, desert location!.... :lol: ... :lol: ....!

Belmont is really close, on the south side of the river from me, (I live in the posh, northern side of the river).... :D ...!

Round trip?...the County of Herefordshire has lots of jagged edges!... :o ...!

Beware of Wales though....its only 20 miles away!... :shock: ...!
