After our R & R in Mammoth Lakes, we drove on up to Bodie, a ghost town, which dates from the 1870's gold rush days. About 5% of the town remains and you can take your time, walk around, look in the windows and imagine what life must have been like. It is situated about 12 miles back on a dirt road and this will do it for our long-suffering shock absorbers. After today, this car is embarrassing.
Brodie was fascinating. There had been about 7,000 inhabitants, a red light district, 65 bars, and one school. We were so absorbed, we spent two or three hours and didn't miss a single building.
