Vacation 2008–Bodie Ghost Town
Bodie is the famous mining town turned ghost town just east of Highway 395 about 12 miles south of Bridgeport. I left Honeymoon Flat early, hoping to see Bodie and still make good time into Yosemite so I could get a good campsite there. I wasn’t prepared for Bodie’s size–I expected a few dilapidated buildings, but there were more than a few. I didn’t end up leaving until almost noon.
The road to Bodie, Highway 270, is 6 miles of pavement and 3 miles of rough dirt, but I was not the only motorcycle to go the distance. It was worth the visit and I wished I’d had more time.
