Goodbye God, ... I'm going to Bodie

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'.

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. 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.

How about going to the Ponderosa? That got me a lot of eye rolls and moans from the family, that should count for something.

I visited the Ponderosa in my youth. About the only memory that stuck was drinking root beer out of a tin cup with pictures of the Ponderosa plastered on it (which I kept for many years).

I wouldn't classify Bodie as geeky. It is a truly classic ghost town that is a unique visit.

I believe that a good chunk of Calico burned down a few years ago and was rebuilt.
