    My mom, myself and my dog were under mandatory evacuation from the Woolsy Fire last Friday November 9th. I knew that Los Angeles in general would be a total Cluster Muck because of evacuees like myself...and well even on the best day of the year, traffic in Los Angeles is the worst traffic in the WORLD. So I decided to head out of town in what I believed would be the opposite direction of my fellow refugees. My ultimate aim...Inyo County and the Eastern Sierras...(what better place to ponder the possibility of becoming homeless by fire). Palmdale's Motel 6 was our first stay Friday, but finally made it to Independence, California on Saturday. Oh Rosetta!, you can't help but become immediately smitten with that big wide smile and the bright playful light of her eyes - she is the proprietor and queen of the the Independence Courthouse Inn. I told her my story and pointed to my 80 year old mom and my dog in my dusty truck - She dropped the nightly rate SIGNIFICANTLY folks and immediately began to run around to find the perfect rooms for us. Her man, Tim, was also a super nice guy and equally helpful. (I should say it was the only pet friendly place I found in Independence and that's how I ended up here) The rooms were decorated super cute for the hunters and fishermen who come up seasonally to stay. Everything was squeaky clean and theres a cute little outside space to BBQ and hang out. We loved loved loved landing here under the circumstances- I could not have found a better spot or nicer people. I highly recommend this little motel. And I'll be back soon, whether we lose our house or not.

    What a great place to spend the night on our way to Southern CA. Friendly Staff. Clean Room. Comfy Bed. They even welcomed my little Corgi.

    carne asada fries here were so delicious. i'm from los angeles and i gotta say they did it so well…read morefor being a little mountain resort restaurant. i loved the contrast of the creamy green cilantro crema with the red chipotle crema on the perfectly tender carne asada, which i'm pretty sure was meat from the famed harris ranch of california. the fries were so perfectly crisp and the beans, cheese, etc all complemented the flavors so nicely. we also tried the apple and berry pie. it was well done as well, got one slice a la mode with icecream :). the workers here are so nice and personable. real friendly people, we loved this young man i forget his name but he was from georgia or something. they sell a lot of cute souvenirs in here such as apparel, candles, postcards and stickers branded with mineral king. they also sell backpackers dehydrated meals and little toiletries and drugs you may have forgotten. always make a trip here when i'm around. love it. they also have showers attached to the bathroom and you could just walk in and take a shower after a lil hike ?? maybe :)

    Skip the traffic heading into the park and bust a right onto Mineral King Road - it's a fun drive…read morebut the road is in disrepair and there is currently construction so check the local traffic reports. This gem is worth it. Old 1929 cabin resort with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly service. And the food is wonderful. Carne Asada fries are delish and the portion is mountain size. Quinoa salad tasty with some zing - if you like tahini this is for you.

Whitney T-shirt and a mug. We liked the fries. The outside seating areas were good; move away from the store to avoid yellowjackets (wasps).

We thought it sounded like a good idea so we packed up camp and headed up there for breakfast as well. Well after a night of camping, we were hungry and this place did not disappoint! You wouldn't think this place has food, it looks like a small souvenir/general store. But they do! They serve you pipin' hot food! It's a small menu, but so satisfying, especially after a long hike! We ordered: - Hashbrown combo, comes with 3 eggs, toast and a choice of meat, we ordered the bacon. They were the yummy fat strips.... so good! ($10.00) - 1 pancake (it's enough to feed a party of 4) Mr. Texas was not joking about the pancakes! It was huge!! So if you are starving, go order a pancake, you won't be hungry for a month lol. They also have free wifi, it's a bit slow, but it's better than nothing! Really pretty spot to eat a meal, there's a waterfall nearby. It's at the start of the Whitney Trail, so if you get off that trail early enough, this is a great spot to grab a hot meal!
