Tiago Pass & Bodie to Lone Pine

We left Yosemite today and drove back through the park and exited through Tiago Pass. Again, more stunning scenery.
After Tiago we made our way to Bodie Ghost town, starter during the gold rush of the late 1800's. Quite how they found there way there I don't know, but at its peak it housed 10,000 people. It got a bit rowdy and lots of debauchery; sounds a bit like Naphill.
We entered Bodie down 8 miles of rough roads and the car was sliding about on the stones. We left on a different route and this only had 3 miles of rough road. However, we ended up with a puncture and Jan and I had to put the spare on in the blistering heat, 7000 feet up. The had enormous problems with the car hire company trying to get it repaired. Their suggestion was to drive 6 hours in the opposite direction to change the car! Ended up getting it changed locally and will argue with Alamo later.
We made it to Lone Pine about 18:30 and are just getting ready for another meal. We don't eat at lunchtimes - honest!
