Needs a date
Needs a location Coming soon!
Bodie, California is hands down the best ghost town in the United States! Virtually the entire town is still there. Not a tacky tourist place; it is real & pristine.
How far is it form LV.. Give details & I'll it to the calendar
You already have me convinced of this one, Marilyn!
Looks great, just depends on date and if it matches my days off.
Wikipedia says: Bodie is a ghost town in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, California, United States, about 75 miles (120 km) southeast of Lake Tahoe.
Sounds like quite a drive, but I'm sure will provide some great photo opportunities.
This sounds awesome-I wish it wasn't so far. I'm thinking about it
There is always snow through some of the passes on 395. Late April or May may be our best timing? With this much notice, surely those of us who work can pre-plan to take some vacation time off ? The whole area is photo worthy. I personally plan to go on to Lake Tahoe.
Bodie is open all year. However, because of the high elevation (8375 feet), it is accessible only by skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles during winter months. Snowmobiles must stay on designated roads in the Bodie Hills.
Winter weather is often unpredictable. Sub-zero temperatures, strong winds and white-out conditions are common. Many four wheel drive vehicles with chains get stuck each year in powdery snow. In Spring, mud can be a problem. Local towing services, when available, can be costly.
Let's do this, people!!! When are we going?
Been there, you would be foolish to pass up such a beautiful photographic moment in time.
Went there early summer last year with kids who quickly realized they don't appreciate the old stuff as much as I do and left after an hour. Would love to go depending on the date.
I just hope I'll will have the time off.
