I visited Bodie on June 6th, 2006, an amazing experience. The topography is amazingly lovely in June with clear skys at 8,000 feet and far enough from cities that polute. There is, of course, something erry about being in a ghost town, even on a clear, windless day. It some how reminded me of Pompeii in that peaking through the windows one sees so many things that were left in the midst of living life to the ravages of time. Ann Privateer
