I am going to start full timing early 2014 and you have given me added inspiration and many good ideas. Thanks & safe travels to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775350562833590159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-638687813113775032013-09-30T07:03:56.544-07:002013-09-30T07:03:56.544-07:00It's been nice knowing you! :cDIt's been nice knowing you! :cDPaul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-38781706053570632052013-09-29T22:45:19.984-07:002013-09-29T22:45:19.984-07:00Will have to check this out on a trip up the 395 o...Will have to check this out on a trip up the 395 one day soon.

Thin...Wonderful Bodie series. Excellent photos! <br /><br />Thinking about Bodie the other day -- recalled something Colin Fletcher wrote about it in a "Thousand-Mile Summer" -- an account of his 1958 solo hike from the Mexican border to the Oregon border. Colin walked through Bodie on the trek -- was wondering how much Bodie would have changed in the last half century since Colin hiked through. <br /><br />Really enjoyed your caption: "Goodbye God, I'm going to Bodie." -:)<br /><br />If memory serves me correctly,(no sure bet these days) Mark Twain also used that expression -- or more precisely -- a variation of it -- only attributing it to a young girl whose family was moving from Texas to Missouri. Think Twain put it something like this (not a direct quote) -- "You know, that girl didn't say: "Goodbye God, I'm going to Missouri" -- what she said was -- "Good, by God, I'm going to Missouri." -:)<br /><br />Happy Trails.<br />-Gary Robertson<br />www.flickr.com/photos/garytrinity/Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00915374405179323387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-49794550658235165592013-09-29T14:19:36.942-07:002013-09-29T14:19:36.942-07:0064 saloons!!I guess there wasn't much else to ...64 saloons!!I guess there wasn't much else to do there except mine and drink.
