Bodie State Park

Bodie State Park is an abandoned Gold Rush Town that functioned until the Depression. Located in the Eastern Sierras at 8500' it is desolate. Nearest town of "significance" Lee Vining and it takes 4 miles on a dirt road to reach this gem.




Since it is in the high desert most of the abandoned equipment and structures remain relatively intact.













Couldn't resist the John Ford type shot since I was feeling like part of the Old West

This makes me think of "The Hills Have Eyes" movie. Very cool shots. I especially like the broken down axel wheel.

Nice Bodie pictures. It's hard to get something "different" here, but the last two stand out for me.
