The Bold and the Bodie-ful

It's a long, bumpy, and dusty road to Bodie State Historic Park, located in an isolated area of the Eastern Sierra Nevada.



Originally a gold mining town in the mid-1800's, Bodie became a ghost town in the 1940's.



Bodie is kept in what they call "a state of arrested decay".



Buildings and contents have been left as-is, and refuse is scattered across the town.



I came across a rusty old pot with an awesome green handle! 



Some buildings have held up to the elements better than others.  Sitting on a porch next to a rusty bucket.  Awesome!



Legend has it that if you take something from Bodie (which is a big no-no!), you'll be cursed and something terrible will happen to you.



All I took were photographs and awesome memories of Bodie.  I had a rockin' awesome time at Bodie!
