Special Activity! - Day trip to Bodie

Saturday August 25 – SNU Member, Chuck Fell will take us on a tour of the nearby gost town of Bodie. We plan to leave the Twin Lakes campground by 9:30 am and arrive back about 3:30 pm. Bodie is about a 45 minute drive from Twin Lakes. The first 10 miles are paved the rest is dirt. Standard vehicles should have no trouble with the trip. Carpooling is a good idea.

Bodie is at an altitude of 8400 ft and the temperature can vary considerably. Be aware if you have any health concerns that might be affected by altitude, bring a good sun hat and sunscreen, wear layered clothing and good comfortable walking shoes. The area around Bodie is dirt and gravel. There are pit and flush toilets but you need to bring drinking water. We will be taking a sack lunch and having a picnic at Bodie

Nearby attractions: Boating, canoeing and fishing in Twin Lakes. Great area for hiking and bike riding. Bodie is a short drive from the campground.

Finding the Rally Site: The SNU now provides the means for you to put its rally sites on your electronic map. If you don't have a GPS or a PND or a computer with a mapping program, you can still take the file and use it to find coordinates on your paper maps.

What to expect at an SNU rally : Never been to an SNU rally? This page will give you information on arrival and departure times, meals, activities, and other information that will help make the rally an enjoyable experience.

Boondocking SNU Style: SNU rallies are a great way to experience camping “off grid” Our usual rally sites have no electricity or other hookups. Water is frequently not available. For the SNU, this type of camping enhances the experience and we are never without all the comforts of home
