Description
Bodie California is one of the most interesting places I have ever been to or photographed. It is one of the most well preserved ghost towns in the US.
Most of the buildings still have the original belongings left in them. Its as if the people that used to inhabit this town, just got up and walked away.
It's simply an amazing place!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Bodie is a ghost town in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, California, United States, about 75 miles (121 km) southeast of Lake Tahoe. It is located 12 mi (19 km) east-southeast of Bridgeport,[5] at an elevation of 8379 feet (2554 m).[1] As Bodie Historic District, the U.S. Department of the Interior recognizes it as a National Historic Landmark.
Also registered as a California Historical Landmark,[2] the ghost town officially became Bodie State Historic Park in 1962, and receives about 200,000 visitors yearly.[6] Starting in 2012, Bodie is administered by the Bodie Foundation, which uses the tagline Protecting Bodie's Future by Preserving Its Past.

Thanks for the comment Marvin.. unfortunetly they only let you in two of the buildings. They do this to preserve the town for as long as they can. They monitor this very closely.
