Our drive Thursday down the U.S. 395 was full of gorgeous countryside. We actually were in Nevada for a while (including our stop in Reno), though this pic looks like Montana Big Sky Country.
Before reaching June Lake, I had us make a detour to the old ghost town of Bodie. It's an amazing place to wander, with dozens of buildings still standing, after the mining town was abandoned decades ago.
Cora was anxious to pick a lock and get into one of the many homes and shops. But, alas...
The mortuary, like most of the buildings, was still full of items from the town's heyday. The grocery store had cans that looked like they were 100 years old, the saloon still held a billiards table, the homes had furnishings and clothes hanging up. Very eery, like a Twilight Zone episode. Where'd everyone go in such a hurry, and why didn't they pack up their things?
