- Bodie is probably the best known and best preserved ghost town in California. A boomtown in the 1870s, the town lasted until the 1940s and is now kept in a state of arrested decay. Bodie State Historic Park is about 13 miles off Highway 395, north of Mono Lake, near the town of Lee Vining. In this video we take a look at the town, including some of the buildings and sights in September 2020. Bodie is a great place to visit and get a glimpse of what life may have beeb like over a century ago.

I have been there many times before it was a State Park………went hunting there……..I went into the school house ……….never touched anything………always left it alone……..It was like someone was saying leave it like it is……….glad I listened……….
I was there way back in 1974 - it looks the same now as it did then. My family was there on a late August early evening. No one else was there - just us four. As the sun was setting it changed the whole feel of the place.
I was there in the winter one time. It was deserted. It started to snow and it gave the experience a haunted feeling, walking around the streets while snowing. I'm hoping to go back this Thanksgiving. Thanks for the video and especially the drone footage in the beginning.
Visited Bodie twice on our vacations from Scotland. Great place and the video brought back some great memories.
I love visiting Bodie. A fascinating time capsule and view into a world that no longer exists.
Great video. well done. I visited that area about 30 years ago. My car broke down just before bodie after driving from the bay area. WE were stuck on a dirt road surrounded by many cows. The cows looked at us and seemed puzzled to see city slickers on their land. I was able to get the old porsche going again and drove straight back over the mountains to safe territory. Never made it to Bodie. Now i might make it there soon.
The first thing I did after getting out of the car was start walking up "Boot Hill" the cemetery shown toward the end. I was genuinely surprised how out of breath and winded I was after about 5 minutes. Then I realized the elevation of Bodie was over 8300 feet AGL.
Yeah, I can't imagine working at that elevation.
You can kind of get used to it after while. There's lots of people live at that elevation and higher.
Read alot about Bodie in the old west pulp magazines in the 1960's. Wish I had an opportunity to visit.
What a wealth of information in this video thanks Steve . Bodie sound like interesting town😊
One of my favorite places in Cali.
Bodie is one of the most fascinating places I have ever been through. When I was there I had the feeling of an energie there, I really love it.
Checking out some of your older videos that show up in my feed. This was a great tour. I love the vault that in true Victorian style is painted with flowers. :) I wonder how it looks this spring, after all of the rain...probably lots of flowers!
I just checked a live cam they have setup and it looks like its still covered in snow.
@@SidetrackAdventures Oh wow! Thanks for doing that! It must be higher up in the mountains than I realized. :)
Of course Ghost Adventures always find spirits there!
This would be fun to visit..gotta go,
So cool.
I like Carson City, too.
Great video!!!... I definitely want to do this trip soon.. looking forward to the next video!!
Thank you. Fall is a great time while its cool and not snowed in yet.
Great video! I was in South Dakota and we checked out a town that was destroyed by a tornado and the vault was the only thing left of the bank!
Been there many times really cool. Love your videos
Enjoying your well done videos as part of the Virtual Travelling Experience as per the Covid 2021 Shxt Show. Wishing you and your family safe travels, from Canada.
I went there a few times back in the '80s.
There is actually more than one way in to Bodie. There's one way that goes directly off of US. 395 and then there's cottonwood canyon road which takes off from State route 167. Either way you will be dealing with dirt roads at least part of the way.
Been there many times I love Bodie!❤️❤️
I was there in the 90's some time. Run ito a young couple from Germany. Came across the pond to see Bodi!!
No shady trees
in Bodie
Thanks so much for your work, Steve, really appreciate your efforts.
There may not be a lot on the S3 itself, but it connects the northern and southern sections of a terrific park.
Thank You
Love the comment thou shalt not steal on the 10 commandments cloth!
I was there in 1992 it was amazing, the school house I loved it. Did not get to the cemetery though!
You should cech out the Bodie Hotel in Bridgeport, it was moved from Bodie on two sections by mules long ago.
Thanks!
Thank you very much, we really appreciate it.
Would love to go there.
Video made me subscribe
Awesome, thank you so much!
@@SidetrackAdventures Wow!! For sure, thank you for great content.
Im very suprised to see so many windows intact!
Terrific video, Steve! So if the state park is named after Waterman S. Body (or William Bodey), why is it spelled "Bodie"?
Wow! Great video and hope to make a trip soon.
Thank you for the kind words.
I read once that there are still a few residents. Might be old information, of course.
You are so right. It takes many trips to even scratch the surface of this historic place. And remember it's somewhat connected to other less famous mining camps in the area. Lundy comes to mind with the Green Monster Mine. The people of Bodie went there to rescue survivors of a huge avalanche that took out a large part of the town.
Probably tunnels under it!
Omg that state park looks awesome!! Was it easy to stay away from other guests that were there? Trying to figure out fun SAFE things to do during the pandemic and I’ve been worried about going to places due to possible crowds or people not wearing masks etc
Yes, it was really easy to avoid everyone. We were there on a Saturday and there wasn't a whole lot of people, but everything is spread enough that we were never close to anyone else (aside from a deer that surprised us).
Be sure to check if it’s open because they close if there’s snow. Just a thought. I’ve been there when there were a lot of people but the place is so big it didn’t matter lots of space.
Aw, no mention of the alleged ghosts and The Curse of Bodie.
Interesting place. What do the park rangers do when they stay there besides man the entrance booth? Are there toilets? Outhouses? What water supply was there for the water district guy to run, and what's there now? Got to have water for tourists to flush with, right? Unless there's port-a-potties. China town and the red district aren't there anymore, but are there still foundations and boards lying around? Can't see looking across the foliage.
I think they were pit toilets but I don't remember to be honest. Nothing is left of the red light district or Chinatown. There are ranger led tours and rangers walking around answering questions. I noticed grills outside their houses, so they are probably doing BBQs and stuff when everyone leaves.
I'm recreating Bodie in Minecraft. I would like it to look like it did in 1880. Do any of you know what it looked like then and what kind of buildings were there?
How long should a group allow for a visit to fully appreciate the park?
You can see everything in 2-3 hours just walking around if you don't take the stamp mill tour.
@@SidetrackAdventures Thank you. I’ve learned to appreciate California and local history a bit more in recent years, in part because of Old Town State Park in San Diego. My dad had a pretty big role in constructing a museum there that is a reconstruction of building from the 1880s.
@@SidetrackAdventures Definitely do the stamp mill tour. Might check ahead of time since I can't recall if it's a daily tour. Allow half a day to wander around. I went in early August several years ago and the weather was pleasant. Love your videos.
There is another famous mine next to that one look it up on TH-cam
Is the road to Bodie still unpaved and rough?
Yes, still unpaved. I didn't think it was that rough though.
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷💯💯💯👍👍👍 METİN GÖKBULUT BUNU ÇOOK BEĞENDİ
That fence needs to be moved. Huh? 🇺🇲✝️
Ghost town living on TH-cam
The actual spelling is "Body" it was a spelling mistake that stuck
Oh wow the first school burned down from a juvenile delingquent. Well, back then you got in really big trouble for stuff. Id hate to be that kid at that time era. Thats one helllll of an ars woopin. lol. You should go in that bank with a gun and yell, this is a robbery just to say you robbed it. The people of the 1800s would have never guessed in 2023 someone would attempt to rob that place. 😅
Music too Loud!
Just like most of Cali, real close to the arsehole of the world! 15 miles off the hwy with 5 miles of crappy dirt road to see "Nothing"! And they make ya Pay to see it! Lmfao
I went here as a kid on our way back from Lake Tahoe and it still looks the same I remember it as. When my sister told me the town name as I couldnt remember i had to come to this channel to see if you covered it, and well you did 😊 thank you for the video
