Bodie is an interesting place. I have been there twice, once on a motorcycle trip. It is a state park but is being kept in a state of "Arrested decay". They are keeping it from getting worse but not making any improvements to the buildings unless absolutely necessary. It has lots of history, much of the information is in the internet.
Agreed. I have been there 5 times in 50 years. It won't be my last time there for sure. I want to go back for evening/night shots by arrangement. I bought a book years ago about Bodie and its history. It makes one wonder how much gold ore may have been lost crossing Mono Lake back in the day.

Thanks for the history and memories. I first visited literally right after high school graduation in 1974. It was pretty much the same. However on this trip I did notice quite a few new roofs put on to protect the existing structures.

Nice set. I like the interiors.
I love seeing how everything looks like they just walked out and left it as it was. Cards on the table. Bottles on the bar, beds unmade.

Very nice series. That's a place I'd like to visit. It's a matter of personal choice but there are several images I would like to see some with of the real dark areas lightened up a bit.

Shoot me a PM and let me know what they are and I can try and post the variations.
