Sierra Fall Color and Bodie Ghost Town

In mid October we took the motorhome to Sparks, Nevada for a family reunion.  After the reunion, we came down US-395 to see if we could find any late season fall color.  We spent a few nights at an RV park on the Bridgeport Reservoir.


One day we drove up to Twin Lakes, southwest of Bridgeport.  While most of the trees had lost their fall color leaves, we were still able to find some color.






The next day we took the back road to Bodie State Historical Park through the Masonic mining district.
