Nothing Ghostly in the Ghost Town

Earlier today, everybody kinda took the Gondola up to the peak of the mountain. Lazy me decided to just stay inside and walk around the resort. Some went mountain biking and some just hiking. Heard from them that the mountain biking road was really really scary. So glad I never went. Worse thing is they were stuck in the mountain and was so late until they do not have a chance to shower as we have to check out. Ewwwwwww.
So with 3 clean ppl and 6 very muddy pals, we headed up to the ghost town, Bodie State Park. Basically a ghost town is just a deserted small town. These town boomed during the gold rush era. But when they run out of the minerals, people just flee the town. Wild wild west kinda setting. Bodie has a reputation of being a very bad town in which there is full of bad guys and horrible weather. I can totally understand the weather part. It was scorching hot! Quite an eye opener but this is that kind of places that you only go once in your life and never wanna visit it again.

We reched Lake Tahoe pretty late as there is more road work. This time we were completely stopped. There is this long queue of cars along the highway. OMG! The Horizon Hotel in Lake Tahoe was such a letdown, old and too basic. Certainly worth less than the price we pay for. Feeling tired from the hot sunny morning, I went to bed as the others gamble it out at the casino.

Here is the little cowboy story me and Mixue made. Enjoy!
