Bodie was around producing for a number of years. Bodie is on the side of a mountain at an elevation of 8300 feet. It is closed by snow in the winter, which can be damn cold. It is north of Mono lake. Most of it is now a state park, so it won't be turned into a giant open pit. About the only agricultural activies you can do are graze sheep and raise hay or grass. Very short growing season becuase of the cold, also, not much water outside of winter months. It is a nice spot for photography, especially when the sun gets low in the sky. You can get there with any normal automobile (not a good place low clearance sports car) There are no facilities besides toilets and a park ranger station. Get gas and food and water in Bridgeport or Lee Vining - Bridgeport is larger and has many more choices. The well known story of "Good bye, God, I'm going to Bodie" bodie.com en.wikipedia.org * * *** Columbia State Park has a few streets of a preserved wesern town, and is much more accesible. There are thousands or so ghost towns in the Western US, many have completely decayed back to almost nothing, and many others still have a dozen or so people living there, so they aren't really ghost towns. Many of the other mining related towns still exist.
