If you like blurry people-motion pictures, put your camera on a tripod and wait. There's always someone moving around. Bill Kress

Bode State Historic Park

The California gold-mining ghost town, Bodie, is well preserved and has so many opportunities for the photographer.

​

The park is north of Lee Vining and south of Bridgeport. It's about 13 miles east of Highway 395, 3 miles are unsurfaced road, sometimes quite bumpy. 

​

There's lots of information about the town on the Bodie State Historic Park website, including a detailed map.

​

Admission (2019) is $8.00 per person and they accept cash or checks.

 

From April 15th to November 3rd, Bodie is open from 9 am to 6 pm.

You never know what you'll see. As I was driving out of Bode a few years ago, I noticed this beautiful cloud over the town.
