How do you get there.......
once you get to Bodie. Mapquest says that CA-270 turns in to Bodie Road (seasonally closed and some portions not paved). So, is the ghost town along CA-270/Bodie Road, or will I need to get a better map to find it?
Thanks in advance.

Also, if anyone wants to come along, I believe that Saturday I am going to go exploring here.

Imagine that, by looking on the Internet just a little harder, I found what I was looking for. The paved/dirt road ends in Bodie.
Oh well, thanks for opening the thread anyway!

Here’s a page for directions at Bodie.net.

They have a click able/zoom able Mapquest map as well as links to check road conditions. I was able to go there when I went on the first Lamarama trip. It is worth the drive!

The road doesn't actually end in Bodie - you can continue east on to Aurora if you so desire. Expect lots of washboard. I am also partial to the road south out of Bodie to Mono Lake (Cottonwood Canyon?) - it just gives a little different approach to the Lake.

I'm going to Bodie next week. My folks will be in town (Sacto) and Dad is a huge Western history nut, so we are making a trip to the Eastside. Great place.

Can I bring my dog?
Hi Tahoe!

Just checked in, out of town all week on biz.

I'd like to join in if at all possible, and will bring Tucker, the Wonder Dog. Given logistics, will peobably meet you there.

Shoot me an email if you're still planning this... sounds interesting!
