Wanna camp at 9800‘? Wanna learn about mining history and walk the streets of a ghost town? Wanna camp with an amazing view of the Sierras? Wanna do it with 20 rigs and an easy off road trip perfect for families?

Then RSVP. :)

I'm in! Looking forward to it. For anyone who hasn't been up here in the summer before, even though it's mild/cold dehydration can be a big issue. Enough to cause my wife to get super-grumpy the last time we were up there ;(

As you can see from photo below from a previous trip up there, Bodie is a pretty well preserved place. The buildings are typically not open, but you can still do some 'window shopping'.

Looks like we are locked and loaded with 20 rigs plus myself. This is going to be a fun trip, many of you I already know and I can say we’ve got an amazing group going. If you are new or unfamiliar with the names going, you’re in for a good time with quality people.
