Friday after work Sharon and I rode out to South Lake Tahoe to stay with my father and his wife at their time share. Saturday we headed out to Bodie State Historical Park. It was my 4th time there and one of my favorite places to visit on the eastern Sierras.

That is one of my favorite Ghost Towns. It is suppose to be very haunted according to a feature on a TV show I saw. Very nice photos and vid.

BTW, when is Sharon starring in her movie on a F 650 GS or F 800 GS Adv. ? At least if you each had your own bike and a final drive failed one could ride for help. :D

After she masters the Buell Blast. She's already eyeballing the F650GS.

My wife and I honeymooned at the Embassy Suites at Tahoe. I lived in Atwater in the early 90s. So I took her all over our old playgrounds while on our honeymoon. She fell in love with Bodie and now wants to visit ghost towns all the time.

Bodie is one of the very best. We drove all over. Bodie. Yosemite. Mono Lake. Truckee. Camped at the Wawona campground. Woke up and hiked up to Vernal Falls on the mist trail. Wifey rolled her ankle on the way down. Less than 1/2 mile from the car. Spent the afternoon at the Yosemite clinic.

Good times. Great honeymoon. Long drive back to Tahoe with a hurt ankle though. Great pics of Bodie.
