Great photos as usual Ski3pin! I don't know how I can call my self a mining historian with a straight face having not been to Bodie. I'll get that situation fixed shortly.

Ah the East Side where tele-turns, hot springs, fly fishing, hiking, biking,and photography all come to play! I've yet to learn the Nevada hot springs, but soon will get out there in my new-to-me '06 Tundra 4WD.

Thanks for the posts and excellent photos, Ski. I think we've got a few things in common.

Must have been right on your heels, soaked at Travertine and took the Masonic Road in from the north after a lovely night under the stars:

Great photos you guys! Yep, 395 is one of my most favorite roads.

We used to camp on Green Creek when visiting Bodie or zipping up and down 395. The turn-off is just to the west of 395 between Bridgeport and the road to Bodie.

Anybody been there recently?

Be up there the end of the week for a four day trip into the Hoover Wilderness.
