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?
