Finally, back online

It's been about a month since I've been able to get the computer (new) linked up with photos and internet access. Being on the road nearly every day hasn't helped a bit. Since leaving Glamis North KOA on June 1, we've traveled over 5000 miles, covered  7 states, and lost track of all time and dates (almost). This entry comes from Saint Paul, Minnesota (actually, small town of 700 people called Landfall on Tanner's Lake, a place we come to almost every year).

One of the many old vehicles abandoned at Bodie

Bodie is in the mountains just NE of Yosemite National Park. One road in, one road out, and it's not much of a road. Last three miles is unpaved, and rough.

This was the gas station in Bodie. Time stopped here in the very early 1900's.

The road to Bodie can be seen behind the sign

The houses, mostly, still have furniture and dishes on the tables, just as the people left things when they abandoned the town. Bodie is now "maintained" in its state of decomposition as a CA State Park. No improvements are made. Interesting place to visit.
