Bodie State Historic Park

California, especially in the North, has lots of ghost towns, and the majority are from the earlier mining days. We would confidently say that the most shocking of the ghost towns is the town called Bodie. Today it has been converted into a state park, and visiting it takes us way back to older times. It has been excellently preserved, and not just for the city or cemetery, but also the mining itself. On many occasions a Sun of justice beats down on the city, making the visit a bit stifling. However, frequently, clouds appear, in addition to significantly improve the quality of photographs allows a more relaxed visit.

This is one of those places where the experience is heightened by your imagination and research.

The mining town of Bodie had a population of thousands, reaching its zenith at the turn of the century. As the mine was depleted, the population slowly left, and by the mid 40's, only had a few inhabitants. The feeling of abandonment and failure is evident in this photograph, as only a few structures are left .

An incredible and well-preserved gold-mining town. It's seems like the people have just vanished. undefined undefined
