I remember being there in the 80s. I was shooting with Fujichrome. UV at that altitude played havoc with the film but came away with many great photos. Such an interesting place and story.

did you get a chance to go inside some of the buildings?
95% of the buildings are locked and protected from entry. A large portion of area is off limits due to hazards of leaning buildings, unstable land and open mine shafts. It's literally like it was in 1940's when they just laid down everything and walked out.

Nice photo! Years ago I remember the state had to put up fences around the buildings because of range cattle rubbing against the buildings and knocking them down.
We saw evidence of cattle still roaming through. None local while there. Not even a place to BBQ steaks. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Quite an interesting place, the B/W does it well!
Thanks Doug! I agree that the black and white gives it the old feel. I did one shot in Sepia and wish I had done more.

Beautiful set, I can't remember when I was there last
I first visited the place nearly 59 years ago. I had just graduated high school and we made the trip to Bodie from Yosemite. Not much has changed in 50 years, except for the new bathroom compkex and monuments near parking area. Oh ya... now they charge $8.00 per person admission for the day.

Thank you. Since you live in Utah, a good road trip would be shooting over to Reno, traveling up to Virginia City, cutting down to Carson City and following US395 south to Bridgeport then to Bodie. There is a quaint hotel in Lee Vining (across from Mono Lake) called "The Lakeview Lodge". It is a good place to anchor for day trips to Yosemite, Mono Lake, Bodie, June Lake Loop and region.
