Gone to See America October 2008 Road Trip. Eighth Annual Nikonian Photography Adventure Trip. Day 2: Bodie State Historic Park.

Bodie State Park, a Gold Mining Ghost Town northeast of Yosemite National Park was part of our ANPAT 8 photo tour. A target rich place to see and photograph old buildings (but make sure you leave by closing time or risk getting arrested). Can you name the movie that used this church?

Nine-Years Ago (16-September-2006) — Utah

Gone to See America 2006 Driving Tour. Day 18: Arches National Park, Utah

I passed through Moab and Arches National Park as part of my Gone To See America 2006 driving tour. Little did I know that I would be visiting Arches National Park on the same day of the year two years later. Keeping the people in the image gives an idea of scale.
On this trip the images were taken with a Nikon D200, and only saved in jpg format.
