    My favorite place on this earth. I have photographing it for over 40+ years. You might want to let everyone know not just anyone can be there after dark. You must be in a photography group, and get passes. They are rare and you have a large responsibility and must follow many strict rules. Basically you can not disturb anything including the dust. I have been in many of the buildings that is an great honor.

      This night was open to anybody. Pre-pandemic there were 3 late nights a year. But yes this place is magic.

      Man, I wish I could go. Love the old west.... I worked in the desert of Nogales, AZ many years ago. It was there that I first saw the Milky Way and the 7 sisters star cluster. That was 20 years ago and I haven't seen a sky like that since...

    Bodie at night is awesome. I'm so glad they stay open late sometimes. Not many places you can go like that at night.

    "Now we're in the graveyard, looking for miner ghosts. Not young. In the gold mine."
    Classic!
    I am so jealous of you being able to see the stars and Milky Way. The light pollution on the East Coast makes it virtually impossible to see it.
    Thanks for another fun episode Dylan!

      You will not be disappointed. Go early, best in spring and fall. Take water, and prepare your self to spend the day.

    My neighbor that died 25 years ago was born in bodie and left when he was 18 and never came back because he came from a broken home and he told me the whole town was addicted to different types of prescription medication so everyone was high and drunk every day all day long

    Pretty new to Bodie history. This is the first I've seen any of the cemetery is on this video. There are a couple of Bodie groups I follow on facebook but I haven't seen any photos of the cemetery.

      It's a trip seeing it that clear then thinking about where you are. The town was lit up from the Stars when you're eyes adjusted too. Go if you can!

    I’m from SF too and have always wanted to go here! Have you been to Grass Valley? You would like it there since you like the gold rush stuff. Really cute main st area with a haunted hotel called the Holbrook and there’s a cool mock town of the gold rush days in Rough and Ready on their little highway. (My grandparents live in rough and ready.. it’s a cool weekend trip, 3 hours away from SF :)

    • @vvarietyshow

      Funny you mention it, I have a list of things in the Grass Valley area. Have been trying to decide which trip I wanna do first after quarantine and that might be it!

    People: You will be cursed if you take something from bodie like dirt or rock
    Me: So if you step into the place, you are wearing shoes, and your shoes will touch the ground, then the dirt will stick on your shoes. So is anyone that stepped into bodie and took nothing and got cursed cause of the dirt?

    • @vvarietyshow
      @vvarietyshow  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am not sure about the electricity then, but there was definitely telephone and telegraph poles along with a small closed circuit railroad that is long gone.
