Masonic

Nine miles down a dirt road, Masonic feels much more remote than Bodie. It has many fewer buildings than Bodie but its state of continuing decay gives it the feel of being a relic from a different time. On the day I visited, there was hardly anyone else out there. Only a couple of dirt bikers. The sense of isolation that the miners must have felt is still palpable.
