Okay here is what makes this a 5-star rating vs a 1-star rating…read more It all depends on who you get as a clerk. I had a very high fine for being one month late in getting insurance. The first clerk I saw, told me I needed to show proof of insurance, otherwise, I was SOL. So I left and went to my daughter's, where I could use her computer and print out the info. (I live too far away to do that on the same day) Went back to court showed my info and the new clerk I got told me that unfortunately, I was a month late, however.... she directed me to the computer and printer they had on site. She told me there was a form available if you are having trouble paying and it would be a hardship for you. So I filled out the form, printed it, and brought it to the third clerk I saw that day. He was also very helpful, and picked out from the paperwork I gave him, what the judge would need to see. So after all is said and done, I did get a substantial reduction in fine. Thank you to the two clerks who helped me out. The first gal, well maybe needs more training or not be hating on those of us who screwed up and didn't, fly right the first time. Heads up people. If you cannot afford the fine, go on the court system website and you will find a form for if you can't afford to pay. It will list options you can choose from and just ask for reasons.

The department that handle traffic ticket is horrible. I got a speeding ticket in May of 2017, it…read moresaid on the ticket it will take about 45 to 60 days before it appear on the court website. I checked the website almost every week until it show up and finally it appear at the end of July 2017, I paid it right away, but the only confirmation I have is a receipt basically saying "case will be released when payment is received", no other communication or contact whatsoever afterward. The deadline to pay the ticket is at the end of August 2017, so I was assuming my case had been released after I pay it in July, but it was not. THEY SENT MY DEBT TO COLLECTION COMPANY WHICH INCREASE MY SPEEDING TICKET FROM $281 TO $561, UNBELIEVABLE! NOT ONE ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM. When I contact the court the only thing they tell me was how sorry they felt about my situation, but no attempt to help at all; basically, they just want to finish the phone call asap to get rid of me. I serve in the military and was preparing for a deployment, so I didn't have much time to deal with it. When I was at my deployment location I have to collect a lot of documents to prove to them I was attempting to pay my ticket, but for some reason it didn't go through. I even contacted my bank and they say there was no record of attempt to withdraw money at the time I pay the ticket. So I wrote a letter and gather all the necessary documents and send it to the collection company so they can send those docs to the court to review my request. 2 months pass by and I contacted the collection company again and they say the court deny my request. To sum it all up, I end up paying approx $300 more for ticket in which I took full responsibility for, did my diligent, checking up on the ticket and pay it right way when it appear on the website. But for some fucking reason my payment did not go through and they have no effort to find out why and refuse to accept my effort in researching the reason behind it. No support receiving whatsoever from their staff or even the clerk; especially the clerk, she such an idiot, she have very limited knowledge about her job and very unprofessional in the way she talk to me.

I'm reviewing the historic Mono County Jail, not the newer facility…read more It's a fun place for a quick stop to take the kids and let them experience "jail" while passing through town. Granted, the old jail is probably scarier than the new, but still a good place to get the kids "scared straight." The old jail is a small building which houses a few dank cells and one small wide open shower. The kids thought it was fun, adults found it mildly interesting from a historic perspective. Worth a look if you are nearby, but don't make a special trip to see it. 3 stars.

In the words of the great Mike Ness: "It's on the outskirts of town, by the railroad tracks Where the country moon shines." Yeah, it's in BFE so when you get the call to pick someone up after an especially egregious skiing out of bounds issue, a DIP or a DUI, it's close to an hour long haul up to the county seat to drag their sorry asses back home. On the bright side, the deputies have so little to do they will shoot the shit with you and even tell tales of what your friend did during the arrest/while in the tank. I've heard that they let the women stay up late to watch SNL. But the food, well...meh. But there is a special dietetic menu for those inmates who are watching their carbs. More from Mr. Ness: "Well it's cold and it's clammy Man, it's colder than a pimp's heart But I've gotta do my time There's a lesson to be learned here but what a price to pay. You know, I may never learn" Also - this is where Sean Penn stayed when he went to jail for punching a paparazzi when married to Madonna. He paid extra to have the privilege to do time here rather than in LA County. If only Paris Hilton did the same thing - she could have talked to the lady who got busted for trying to smoke a tea bag by sticking it into a light socket.

We saw the sign that said Ghost Town 10 miles, but that it could take 30 minutes to get there. We…read morethought what the heck. Soooo glad we did! The drive is partially paved, and mostly unpaved down a dirt road. There were a couple of cow gates to crossover, a few smaller rocks in the road. We traversed it in a Toyota Camry and were fine. A truck or SUV is ideal, but a sedan was completely workable. You are driving way out in the middle over nowhere then come of the hill and there is a rather large ghost town. We were COMPLETELY surprised at how large it was. Being a State Park there is a nominal entrance fee. See sign of posted prices in pictures! The park is very educational, historical, cool things to see! It is a great way to be outdoors walking and getting exercise without calling it exercise! There are both restrooms at the parking lot and then outhouses down near the hotel for use. There was a water fountain (we brought our own) I only saw that it was working if needed. This park is preserved as is for people to see. There are things on the ground to step over which are natural terrain like rocks and stuff and then there are items like chains to step over to prevent injury. An individual with serious mobility issues would have a hard time unless they utilized a wheelchair or mobility device of some sort. The paths that you walk on are dusty, plan on being dirty, it is a ghost town in nature!! There was a museum to enjoy. In the museum there was the option to purchase tickets to see the mill for $6 per person. We also saw a sign on the church that there would be a talk shortly. There was an indoor area to sit on benches and watch a movie about the history of Bodie. It was neat seeing some of the items inside the buildings like original wall paper, toys, toddler potty chairs, vintage furniture, old tools, wagons... If you are looking for a great way to enjoy a drive, exercise, family time, history, and see the largest preserved ghost town then this is for you! Would we return: ABSOLUTELY.. I was sad I didn't know about this before and didn't have more time to explore and do the Mill tour!! We only spent about an hour there. I'd love to plan appropriately and spend the better part of a day here. What is there to eat, drink and snack on?? NOT A THING OTHER THAN A WATER FOUNTAIN.. PACK ACCORDINGLY AND DONT FORGET AND HAND SANITIZER!!!

The museum has some cases you can look at and displays of items from the time period. They also have a small section for a gift shop as well as the tour books and pamphlets on the cemetery. We headed up toward the stamp mill for the tour, and checked out some buildings and abandoned trucks in the field. We were s family of 8 for this trip with the youngest being 2. We ran through safety precautions and other general information from our guide, Malcom before beginning the tour of the stamp mill. Malcom gave factual information over the different areas of the tour and answered questions from the group. We had a sold out tour and alot of ears and questions. We got to tour through the stamp mill and see everything from the electrical room to the stamping and the Shaker tables. Malcom was an excellent guide and provided alot of information. We learned that for ever 5 homes still standing there were 80-90 more! The school has as many as 625 students enrolled at one time and that Bodie was the 6th largest town in California at that time. We had a great time visiting Bodie and getting to learn some of the areas rich history.
