can't prospect for gold in the walker river it's a wild trout sanctuary .

No house paint in those days. Every building was done over with linseed oil. Which is why the houses in those days burnt spectacularly.

Yosemite National Park is close by. Don’t know if the Tioga road is open yet it’s in Lee Vining. Use to work up there.

At one time a rock quarry in Fremont, California was the lowest point in North America. It was subsequently filled with water and then filled with with spoils from the excavation of a water conduit under San Francisco Bay

I really enjoy watching your UA-cam Channel, Russ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Too cool for school! I wish you safe travels. Talk soon, Alan.

Nice to see a face with that voice❤❤❤❤

I like the background music. Please don't change it. Thanks😂

I find it interesting your willingness to continue spending money in California. Each to his own. I shut it off and don't watch or buy anything from California. 😂

That was kahlaloch lodge across from the ranger station

Luv your video I have been thru. Here many years my vacation spot

Mono Lake is too salty for fish. Bodie is at around 8400'. The mountain Pass you crossed after you left Lee Vining is Conway Summit at 8100'. You were above 6000' since not too long after you left Bishop until you were not too far out of Coleville. That's why it's been a little chilly for you. It can get hot there too. There are some rangers that stay there in Bodie through winter. Thanks for sharing this. I used to live in Reno which is also part of the Eastern Sierra. I have fond memories of the region.

Show low is definitely not northern Arizona.

Love the Walker River. Beautiful

So enjoy your trips

I have been there twice very exciting to look around, very exciting. If you go there in the Winter? Wear a Parka, the wind comes down off those mountains and cuts like a knife! It was frigid.

...and the road goes on forever !

You should take the June Lake Loop.

Yuckdonalds. That's what I call it too.😂

Nice job man👍🏻👍🏻

❤ too cool for school Lake Tahoe please❤

You are entering the area where I'm familiar with. Last time you came down here from Oregon and we had wild fires everywhere. I remember I was watching your video and looking out the widow to see whether the smoke was coming at me or not? LOL

Enjoyed this Russ! I follow another UA-camr , Brent from Ghost Town Living . Bodie has much more left than Cerro Gordo, CA where he lives. It was a silver mining. I am glad you went to the Bridgeport Museum so cool! Thanks again ! Happy Fathers Day.

That was a fun one. Fathers day, Sunday... pretty drive, Bodie? What a trip.

Hey Russ, happy Sunday. Good to spend a little time on the road with you today. 395 is a really nice drive--terrific scenery, cool little towns, and there's tons of great hiking, camping and fishing. If you take the turn on Hwy 6, you'll eventually end up in Provincetown Mass. (Now that would be a heck of a road trip!) At 17:27 up on the hill to the left is a gas station and the Whoa Nellie Deli, which has some of the best food in the Eastern Sierra, along with a great view of Mono Lake. The dirt road up to Bodie doesn't look too bad...it used to be horrible. From what I remember they don't restore the buildings so much as keep them from falling apart. The ranger I talked to used the term "benign neglect". I guess we'll find out if you ended up in Tahoe.I imagine you'll be surprised at what it's like these days. Tourism has increased so much that some beaches require reservations now. Until next time, happy trails!

Thank you for a good video

Born in that area of the country, I have so many childhood memories of the area, I have family in those parts. I have alot of repsect for the farmers growing all our food. I would never ever though want to go back and live there. Lifestyle and culture is not for me. And the winters are BRUTAL. The area is a very boring place to live. I remember as a kid I could not wait to get out, and when we moved to a small city 1000+ miles away, it was refreshing!

You are making me home sick. Just joking. A very beautiful area.

Is Mono lake a natural lake or manmade? Happy Father's Day.

The Brothels made more money than the Mine did !

does your van still have the 5 cylinder diesel ?

Exactly what I would do,growing up in pope county Arkansas and as a truck driver I can appreciate the history and interesting places shown here 🚛thanks

Great watching your travelling .viewing from Sask. Canada

Thanks! Beautiful trip 😊

Thanks for the video. I have vacationed up 395 most all of my life. There are amazing places to camp, fish and visit all along the way. So much history is there. BTW Mono Lake has no fish in it. Bodie is one of the most historical places in the Eastern Sierras.

Marvelous trip!❤ the older I get, the closer it is to 100 years since ive been to a lot of these places.😊😊 thank you😊

I appreciate you taking a road trip through the valley; however you appear to be disrespectful in all your disgusting laughter

You’re definitely obsessed with lunch 😂

Russ, how do you fund your travels? If I'm meddling, you don't have to say. But absolutely love this channel. And me being a Christian, I thank you very much for keeping everything clean cut.👍

The most interesting part of visiting here is being able to look into the houses, school, etc., that are there . You are able to see what was left behind. For example, the schoolhouse still has desks, books, etc.

Wanna be President Gavin Noooosum has to charge for everything to pay for his $55 BILLION deficit. Bodie and Benton RR

Mono lake is saltier than the ocean no fish in it

They named the town after a bad hombre. He was a keeler.

There is never a better time to see Yellowstone because they are packed from the time they open to the time they close each year take it from someone who lives in the area.

Keep on rolling safe travels

I first visited Bodhi in 1984. It was Thanksgiving Day so few people were there and a snow storm expected in two days. I drove in on the main road with no one at the kiosk and drove out the road that is now 4 wheel drive that opens to Mono Lake. I met the Ranger living in residence (back then caretakers changed in and out every ten days or so to shop, rest, do laundry, etc. She shared her experience living in Body and gave me a short tour. I've returned several times with friends in the 80's and 90's. The Bunker Hill Mine on the hill was not always open but the last time we were able to schedule a tour with a guide for a fee. It was fascinating with all the old original machines, wooden floors and different levels. (I think the mine was closed down in the 60's). The reason that area is not open to everyone is that it is treacherous and you must follow the guide and cannot wander off. It would be dangerous to allow tourists to wander around the mine due to its age, original flooring and heavy materials. We were told there is still mercury in the building and the soil. There was a French Co. looking into reopening the mine due to the price of gold at that time but it never happened. This would have ruined the historic nature of the area. I can understand why there might be negative reviews since movement is restricted to most buildings. To totally upgrade them to allow entry would ruin the historic towns appearance. Also, it was biting cold in November, tumbleweeds rolling down the roads, winds singing through the rafters and I got a sense of what it was like to live in Bodhi. Only 20% of the original buildings remained after the fire. It looks pretty much the same as it did in the eighties. Thanks for the return visit Russ, great video capture!

Love your videos! Haven't watched in a bit! Great job Russ! Awesome 👌

I guess they've upgraded(?) to Star Link😂. The last time I was there years ago, they had a DirecTv dish for the employees.

Love your channel, the videos are just great. Safe travels 😊

Couldn’t watch it all but what I saw was nice.

We are in our 70s and just the last year or two I have noticed than there are a lot of prepared foods that I just can not deem to tolerate, fast food is one of them.
