The town morgue is right on Main Street – probably had a lot of business back in the day. Note the child-sized coffin at the ready.
Some of the homes are used by park employees. I think Sydnie said she had stayed in one that operates as a guest house.
We could have spent more time exploring Bodie, but needed to hit the trail. From Bodie Wayne, Sydnie and Dave returned to camp via the same route we came in on, while the motorcyclists continued on down to Bridgeport.
The high point of the trail to Bridgeport was 9, 260′ near Bodie Mountain.
To save some time the motorcyclists decided to return to camp via Sweetwater Valley (CA 182/NV 338). That was a beautiful road ride. I added the ‘adventure’ to the ride by flatting about 30 miles from camp. When I changed the tube I found my rim strap was shredded, so after a few miles I had another rear flat. Luckily, I had cell signal so I called Brett, who came back with his trailer.
Here is a pic of typical scenery through Sweetwater Valley – later the road passed through a really pretty canyon.
Due to my flat tire(s) I didn’t get back to camp until 9:30. The cheeseburgers and watermelon sure were tasty – thank you Sydnie!
Thank you Wayne also for coming up with the idea to camp at Walker River SRA. I really like this place.
