Thanks..me too. The turn off to Bodie is on highway 395 (eastern slope of the Sierra)just south of the town of Bridgeport. It's a State Historical Park which is maintained in an, "arrested state of decay". The driff from 395 is nine miles of asphalt followed by three miles of "extremely rough" (as the warning sign states) gravel. Steep grades and washboard chattering drive to 'prox 10,000 ft. It sits in a sweeping plain of scrub desert. Park in a designated lot from which you walk a couple hundred yards into the town. Town actually covers a good size area. There is the mine and mill a ways from the town, but I know nothing about its access. It was just before the five PM closing, too late to do much. The church, I think, could be better isolated in the morning when the sun is in the east. Didn't have my compass, but, depending on the time of year, it might be necessary to give the morning sun a little time to hit the front of the church.
