Bodie State Historic Park, California, September 18, 1999.
More from the California archives 🙂 . Bodie State Historic Park is the remnants of a once thriving mining town northeast of Yosemite near the Nevada border. Having been in the California park system some 40 years, it has a slightly sanitized feel to it, though to be fair it seems like more sensible heads have prevailed and one certainly can’t accuse it of being Disney-fied. (For starters, the road there from the Interstate is one of the rougher roads I’ve driven on in the States.)
Naoko and I made the trek here during a weekend trip to Yosemite in September of 1999, a trip I still look fondly back on, even if 5 years hence the photo remnants are a bit hard to get excited about.
Wow! That’s a great image!
That’s an amazing photo. And you have a wonderful blog. I’ve only had a moment to check things out… clicked a link and it was for Shimizu – how lucky was that? This is sure to be a regular haunt of mine. Do have a lovely weekend.
