Skip to the loo in rural California

THE ghost town of Bodie, Calif., about an hour south of Lake Tahoe, has offered photo ops galore for decades. Kathleen M. Spinelli of Encino found a fresh approach in July, as son Christopher, 2 1/2 and relatively new to using a bathroom, pondered the adventure that was outdoor plumbing. She used a Nikon N50 for the shot. Bodie is accessible in summer, but photogs, beware: Snow often closes off access in winter.
