US West Elk Grove Bodie Trip

[Offroadtails]

Hello,
I just was looking at the route and Google maps shows Bodie masonic Rd closed going into Bodie.

Gary do you have a screen shot of the closure. I just looked and there is no icon showing closure. I zoomed in and out.

I checked today and it also is showing on the Caltrans site as closed.

Hey all, I\'ll be coming on this trip, but I\'m coming from Modesto. Where and when can I meet you all?

How are you getting over the Sierra Nevada, through Yosemite?
I aim to get to Bridgeport about 3pm; then head up towards Masonic, with time to explore the sites along the way; find someplace to pitch camp and make dinner before sundown.
If that works for you, send me your phone number via the message system here.

Curt, did you see that post from Gary about the Bodie Masonic Road being closed. I know you said that was a way to come in from the Nevada side. I am still planing on going no mater what to Masonic. There seems to be a lot of trails to explore.

I will be in Masonic Friday night; Saturday morning we can drive towards Bodie. If there is a gate on Bodie Masonic Road, there are trails on either side that run to Bodie.

I'm using the maps in Peter Masey's "Backcountry Adventures Nor Cal" book.

Can we get a head count to see how many people will attending. Adults? Teens? Little ones? Pets?

Myself and girlfriend (2) adults :-)

I called Bodie, the ranger said the road to Masonic is open.

Thank you for doing that. See you tomorrow

Thank you Keith. with the 4 hour or so drive, I want to leave at 3PM. So I think we should start arrive some time after 2:30 PM. This will give us time to top off the tanks and do a drivers meeting.

see you at rally point tomorrow around 2:30p.m.

I am suggesting a pot luck on Saturday night. Bring your best camp meal.
