That town looks like it could be west of navy beach where the US Navy experimented with torpedoes back in the day...A room mate . who patrolled at june Mt. back when facial hair was permitted , told me a story about Clint Eastwood when that movie was being filmed at Mono Lake..Supposedly Clint was in one of the bars hitting on one of the local married ladies... the bartender , who was bigger than Eastwood , picked Clint up and warned him to mind his manners, then set him back down..rj

Steve, Since you asked about Doug: He grew up in Millbrook, NY, not far from the Gunks, where he started climbing in his teens. He was into ski racing and spent the austral winter of '62 in Chile, then moved to Tahoe in '63. The guide service came the following year and the NF (in its early form) in late '64.

It would appear Doug discovered a better way to make a few bucks.
