Sue Craft remembered that Bodie has a photographer's day the third Saturday of each month where they let people in 1/2 hour before sunrise and stay 1/2 hour after sunset. We are going on the third Saturday! I called yesterday (7/8) and made reservations for myself and Chris. The cost is $50 per person. They take you name and give you a pass when you enter the park that permits early entry and/or a late stay. I still plan on going to Mono Lake before sunrise, but staying at Bodie until after sunset. This is all totally optional. Normal closing time is 6 pm in the summer, so this will allow us to stay about 1 1/2 hour after closing.

Reservations have to be made in advance to be able to enter early/stay late. One can come and go during the day as well. The cost is $50 per person, non-photographer or not. There don't appear to be any refunds if you can't make it. There is a limit of 50 people. As of yesterday (7/8) there were two on the list, me and Chris. The number to call is (760) 647-6564 and the ranger there is on duty from 8-4 Wednesday thru Saturday. I called in the morning and she called me back late in the afternoon.

If you are interested in either arriving early or staying late, I encourage you to call and make your reservation. I will be staying late.
