Bodie, California
Bodie Hotel
Now a ghost town and California State Park, Bodie was once a rough and thriving gold mining town on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. According to the State Historical Park brochure it is estimated that only about 5% of the buildings remain from the town's 1877-1881 heyday. At it's peak, it is estimated that Bodie's population ranged from 7000-8000 people. The park is kept in a state of "arrested decay", meaning that the structures are repaired and stabilized, but not restored.
