Visit Bodie - an unforgettable... by mrjade
Visit Bodie - an unforgettable ghost town.Bodie is a deserted cowboy town, in the middle of nowhere - I didn't think that it would be so interesting - but turned out to be really fascinating.
Apparently it was one of the first towns to get electricity wired from afar, and they made sure that there were no sharp corners in the telegraph poles or houses - In case the electricity couldnt turn so well and shot out! It is also a real gem of a place for photographers - I will post more pictures when I have a slide scanner.
I don't know why it was deserted - but as it is so remote, most people abandoned everything there. It's now a national park, so you have to resist the urge to take a souvenir.
