Long Barn 1
Except for 8/56, nothing is written on these prints, though the seller has told me that they are all from Long Barn, California.
Anyway, Long Barn is what's known as a census designated place. It's not a true town, but then again it's more than a wide spot on the road. Long Barn started out as a nineteenth century wagon stop near Sonora Pass in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. By the 1920s, a resort, The Long Barn Lodge, opened for customers. The original lodge burned down in 2002, and was not rebuilt. Believe it or not, it wasn't insured. There was a second lodge that's still in operation. It has motel rooms, private cabins, a swimming pool, ice skating rink, a hall for events. It's a popular wedding venue. And, of course, Long Barn is surrounded by the Stanislaus National Forest and is only a couple of hours from Yosemite National Park, so there's plenty of hiking.
