Aspen Afternoon

Buckeye Creek is a great getaway-from-it-all destination. It's 4 miles from Bridgeport California if you need something to do. It's 3 miles from Twin Lakes & Mono Village which is usually jam packed with campers and fishermen from Southern California. It's about 20 miles to the east entrance of Yosemite, and it's 10 miles to the ghost town of Bodie. But the best part of Buckeye is the peace and quiet of the streams and forest that surround this place. These aspens are just about the creek, next to a meadow. The first night of the trip we watched deer graze here at dusk.
