My trip in the USA part 4; Bodie
Visiting a Ghost town
Near Yosemite National Park you can find Bodie State Park. Bodie is an old, jet abbandond gold mining city, named after Waterman S. Bodey, who first found gold on that place in August 1859. Due to the big quantites of Gold found, Bodie grew up to 10.000 villagers in 1879. Bodie was known for it's Bars, Saloons, SHootings and murders which appeared every single day. After a big fire is 1932 most of Bodie was lost, only a few houses have survived. These houses still can be visited. You can see that people "just" left, with or without rush. They left a lot behind, you can even find a local store filled with old stuff, and rooms with old beds in in.
THat is it for the historic facts. Here are some pictures I took with my Sony A200!
