Re: Bodie ghost town, eastern Yosemite, and Mono Lake

Mark, very beautiful images. I'm bound for the same region in about two
weeks. Bodie is snowed in most of the winter. I remember talking to the
rangers about it. Two young guys and two pretty girls admitting it was sweet
isolation .
Did you see any sign of fall leaf color in the canyons around Tioga Pass?
