What and Who is Left


Whereas at its peak Bodie had 2000 buildings making up the town, 
today there are only around 100 structures left standing.

The only people who live in Bodie now are the few on site Park Rangers.  
The remainder of the residents are mostly these little guys.

Still a good impression how it once must have been. Nice to see.

Love both of these shots. I can only image what it looked like back then.

At least someone stayed!

Bodie must be the oddest state park in existence. Imagine a park that protects buildings that in turn are allowed to turn to dust. Even Boot Hill will disappear over time. A slow vanishing act that almost seems an act of poetry.

That last shot is so cute!

He looks a happy little fellow with a mouth full of grass, fearless too

It's great that at least the buildings on the main street are being maintained.

Nesting material maybe? I love catching wildlife in the act of doing something.
