Bodie Ghost Town

Bodie Ghost Town is the official ghost town of California. A mining boom town, it was known as a rough place with killings nearly every day. It was a place so tough that one little girl who learned she was moving there wrote, "Goodbye God, I am going to Bodie."

Today it is a town forgotten by time. The historical society keeps the town in a state of arrested decay. Basically, they are not restoring the town but are maintaining it so it does not crumble and fade away.

We recently spent a few hours in Bodie and if you have never been, I hope these photos entice you to visit.

Virginia City, Nevada

On a recent vacation to the eastern Sierras, we took a day trip up to Virginia City, Nevada. I had never been and Evelyn wanted to share the experience with me. We spent some time walking around the shops, and more time searching for the coin operated horse she remembered from her childhood! We never found the horse, but we managed to take a few pics along the way, hope you enjoy them!
