I've always been fascinated with ghost towns. Bodie is one of the best because they've left it just as it was - nothing commercial there. They have one caretaker who lives in the town to protect it but no one else is allowed overnight. Bodie has burned down a couple of times so they're trying to preserve what's left.

Many years ago, before they put up signs as to where it was and only the locals knew about it, I used to go there quite often when I lived in Mammoth Lakes. Sometimes I would be the only person there. You could hear the boots walking on the boardwalks, the honky-tonk coming from the bar, the laughing and loud voices - if you listened closely enough. :)
