I have wanted to go to these places for freakin' years. Always out of the way, never enough time....:rolleyes:

We are heading up that way again {entering Yosemite via Lee Vining} but I think that the posse I am traveling with will find it too geeky of a trek...

Calico, did you stay the night there? There is a link {maybe on that page} that says some places are haunted! :eek: Boo!

Is that a geeky thing? Wanting to visit haunted places?

We did stay at Calico, there is some more info here.

When you go up to Lee Vining, you go right past the turn off for Bodie, sure you can't spare a few hours? It is worth it.

MouseWife, I've been to both Bodie AND the Ponderosa.

I find it a huge testament to the geekiness of our community that everyone in this thread seems to be competing for geeky! You're all geeks!

(And so am I!)

Yeah, there might be others competing but I still don't see anyone what's can compete with my dominating EIGHT of fifteen items checked off... :D

'Cause you're a geek... :p

I will have to put in a request that we go to Bodie, I want to sooooo bad!

Cool pictures!! Thanks!

I love visiting places like this {we did drive up the 49 and stop here and there...} I am in love with that time but so grateful that I live today.

Put Cerro Gordo on your list for a visit someday.

That looks cool, too.

'Favorited'. :snap:

Ya know, I also went to the Ponderosa, and, I think it should have been on the list. My kids were so mad I made us go twice. :evil: Once they got over being hoodwinked the second time they relaxed and enjoyed it. I loved 'Bonanza' and also 'Alias Smith & Jones'. Probably why I have a very warm spot in my heart for Knotts.

Oh, as well as the time of the Queen Mary. Love that, too.
