Don't have a lot but ...........
Bodie. Maybe the finest ghost town in the U S. Now a state park. Huge. If you stay at Lee Vining it is about15 miles north on the 395 and about 12 miles in with your tow vehicle. The last 3 miles in are pretty rough road but certainly doable.
Drive up Tioga Pass into Yosemite out of Lee Vining for as far as you want and come back. Some nice hiking of various levels up there as well. Also just TV.
Death Valley - again just TV - out of Lone Pine. Do side trip of that route to town of Darwin (very interesting town of 50) and suggest you spend most of your time in your vehicle; not sure how welcome visitors are. I have always felt safe though; but use caution and respect.
Also out of Lone Pine. Drive up to Mt. Whitney trailhead area. Hike part of it if you like. We went up to Lone Pine Lake which is about 6 miles rt. Good trail but average grade is 12.7% and you go from about 8700 to over 10000 feet.
Lone Pine - drive around the Alabama Hills; see the motion picture museum if you like (we have not).
General Store in Likely. Make sure you go into the basement area for things to see. RV park there is great for overnight.
If you PM me with your email address I will send you my emails I sent out to my Photo Group with pix of those things.
