Bodie ghost town, eastern Yosemite, and Mono Lake

I hiked around these places for four days last weekend - sunsets, old mining claims, tufa towers, gulls and chipmunks. Took the wrong trail fork and missed Mono Pass, but saw Spillway Lake instead in Yosemite. Had a couple great dinners at the Whoa Nellie Deli outside Lee Vining. Try their Ragin' Cajun Jambalaya if you stop there.

I gave a Canon 24mm f/3.5L TS-E tilt-shift lens a workout in Bodie and Yosemite's Tuolumne Grove of Big Trees, some of it with Kodak 100UC film in an EOS Elan 7E camera. Everything else was shot with EOS 1D mark II or EOS 20D. Other lenses were the 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5, 16-35mm f/2.8L, 500mm f/4L IS, and 1.4X teleconverter.

After several friendly chats, I almost wanted to move there... almost. Bodie recorded -21 degrees one day last winter. No thanks!
