Geocache Description:

This cache is located very near the spot where Ansel Adams photographed Mt.Williamson in 1945 while documenting Japanese-Americans interned at Manzanar Relocation Center during World War II. (See picture) If you know the EXACT location where the photo was taken and disagree with our guess, send us the waypoint! NOTE: Easiest route is on the road at the north end of Manzanar. Take the first right AFTER leaving the park. The road gets a little rocky for low-clearance vehicles, use caution.

This small cache includes:
1. Geocaching.com compass/keychain
2. Glass heart
3. Argentina pin
4. Lanyard and whistle
5. Mini-clamp
6. Northern Light Travel Bug...wants to see the aurora borealis from the Lone Pine Cache in Kalispell, Montana.

I added a small image of Ansel's photograph to the cache for referencing the location. Please leave it for all geocachers to use, thanks!
