In the Darkroom!!



We returned from a week's camping in Bridgeport, California. What a great trip that was. Because California has had so much rainfall this year it was so green and lush all along Highway 395 to our destination of Bridgeport. We chose that area because it was so close to a lot of places we wanted to visit: Devil's Post Pile, Mono Lake, Bodie Ghost Town, and Yosemite to name the bigger attractions! The weather was great although it ran the whole gamut from 40 degrees in the morning, warming up to 95+ in the afternoons and back down in the evenings. Needless to say we made several clothes changing - at least I did! And we gave BLOOD in Bridgeport. The mosquitoes were loving all the fresh blood in town! US!!

We really didn't have much down time as we were so busy checking out the sites! Rode our bikes one day into town and went to the Bridgeport Museum that is located in the Old School House. That had to be the BEST museum with the most memorabilia we had ever been to.

The main reason of the trip for me was going to see Bodie Ghost Town again. This time we went on the Stamping Mill Tour which is the best part of the whole Bodie State Park. The first time we visited Bodie, the tour wasn't open at the time. Today I'm posting a couple of color digital prints I took at Bodie.

Needless to say I have five rolls of film to develop: two from Oregon and three from Bodie and Yosemite. I just finished mixing the developing chemicals - that's my plan of attack for today for starters.
