- Today we explore the abandoned ghost town of Bodie in California.
Bodie is a former gold-mining town and State Historic Park located in California's Bodie Hills, near the Nevada border. This 19th-century ghost town preserves numerous original buildings in various states of decay, along with artifacts and the Masonic Cemetery. The Miners Union Hall houses a museum displaying mining tools, and northeast of the town is the Standard Gold Mill, which features machinery and information about the gold extraction process. The town is a genuine California gold-mining ghost town, with less than 10% of its original 2,000 buildings still standing today. It is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and is a State Park, offering a unique opportunity to experience an authentic, well-preserved ghost town
Come with us to explore the fascinating ghost town of Bodie, California

We’ve just got back from Vegas, went to see Aerosmith at Park MGM Dolby theatre, best night ever ❤ then Rod Stewart at Ceasers 🥰 stayed at Planet Hollywood, our 6th Vegas trip but chuffin hell how expensive has it got!!! Still love it tho 🥰🥰
Loved the history of Bodie, thankyou for this 😊 x
Your drive behind that logging truck was giving me anxiety, thanks Final Destinations 2 movie. 😂 The scenery is absolutely breathtaking through the area. 2 hour drive would easily turn to 4 for me because I would want to stop and enjoy all of it for long periods of time.
This flog is sooo good. That Bodie looked amazing, love finding out about the history. I think the chair on the right in the barbers was where they had their shoes shined.
Loved this old town and its history one of my favorited vlogs. I can only imagine the spirits that roam at night with the history. Thanks for sharing.
What a day! Loved the gunfight scene 🤣 I am so, so, so, so, so envious of this trip! Really hope to do something similar myself in the future so I’m sure I’ll be back to these vlogs again some day 😊
Loved tonight’s vlog. We got married in Caesars palace in 2019. We love seeing vegas in videos of vloggers we love. Can’t wait for the next one x
Just WOW I need to now do this road trip !!! Justcthe most beautiful scenery and fascinating ghost town.
Thanks so much for sharing guys. Xx
I can’t thank you enough for your vlogs, these interesting and beautiful places you are visiting are on our to do list but if we don’t get to go ourselves we have seen them because you are sharing your experiences and memories, priceless!! Again thank you so much 😊
Loved this I was glued 👀👍🏴
I’m loving this series of vlogs, the scenery is stunning!
Stunning views thanks for taking us along. Very interesting spooky town
We loved this vlog, last visited Bodie 20 years ago and it was one our favourite places to visit. Mono lake you passed they filmed Clint Eastwood movie High Plains Drifter, they built the town then demolished it after filming. We always stay at Mammoth lakes lots of places to stay and eat.
Bodie is very like Fort Steele in the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia. It’s fascinating to see how people lived in these remote areas. In Fort Steele people were living in these sort of homes well into 20 century.
Ok, third vlog with your Keks on the back seat! 😂 Great trip, taking us back to the three times we have done similar trips. Really looking forward to the each instalment as you travel across.
What an amazing piece of saved history.
Bodie is just fascinating. Haven’t made it there yet so thanks for such a great vlog on it. Loved that you stopped multiple times on the way out of Yosemite. One of my best friends was born (1950s) in Las Vegas ( or as she calls is - Lost Wages). They had relations up in Idaho and Oregon so would drive everywhere in the west (still does). She drummed it into me never drive anywhere without drinking water and some sort of food, and always stop at an open gas station if ¾ tank or less fuel as you never know where the next open one will be. BTW - California has strict environmental laws so we require “special” blends of gas. And the oil companies like to shut down refineries for “maintenance” and then put prices up due to slower production. Dont get me started 😤
Bodie does look like a fascinating place to visit, if a little creepy. I never thought about bear claws being uniquely American, but I guess it makes sense. I’ve had plenty of them over my life! Never been to Las Vegas or been all that excited about the idea, though it might be interesting just to say you’ve done it.
Absolutely loving these vlogs ❤ I keep saying to anyone who will listen, I really fancy doing this trip 😂
The scenery is beautiful & the Bodie abandoned town looked like a great place to visit too! Look forward to the next one. Take care guys xx
We were in Bodie in May 2018. We were driving i395 from South Lake Tahoe towards Death Valley. We had a hotel in Bridgeport, not far from Bodie. It looked a bit like yours in Yosemite. Like something from Twin Peaks.
Death Valley was amazing. We stayed at Amargosa Hotel at Death Valley Junction on our way to Williams.
This brings back great memories.
BTW, we’re probably neighbours; we live in Hornsea.
Amazing vlog guys thanks for sharing x
Another great vlog. Thanks guys and keep up the great work
Ah loved this, never heard of bodie before but it was so interesting, so funny when ye done the face off myself and owen where in knots.... the drive to Las Vegas lord I don't know how nick stayed awake very hard with no scenery.. Las Vegas hotel looked fab can't wait for the rest of the vlogs
You barm pots🤣 Didn’t half make me jump. Fantastic and fascinating place. Thankyou for all the info.
That was Amazing, fantastic vlog guys, so many great places 😁💯👌🇦🇺🙋♀️
Really interesting to see Bodie- a little eerie though.
I loved Vegas. I know what you mean. It’s such a lot to take in- so many beautiful hotels to walk through.
These have been great. You’re seeing more of this country than I have and I’ve lived here all my life. And that small squirrel might have been a chipmunk?
Wow absolutely love this vlog, the ghost town was amazing you just can't imagine it, so interesting , love the way you incorporated the good, the bad & the ugly into the vlog made me laugh specially when Nick got his phone out his pocket 😂😂❤
This was an amazing vlog!! It definitely went to either end of the spectrum in terms of being somewhere as beautiful and remote as Yosemite & Brodie, to the other extreme of Vegas which is crazy busy with buildings everywhere. Well done Nick for driving that far and Leigh for creating amazing vlogs 🤩
You should of gone to Knotts Berry Farm. Walter Knott brought old buildings from different ghost towns to his theme park, 3 and a half miles from Disneyland. To me its the best part of that park. I think you’d love it.
This is the best vlog so far for me. Absolutely excellent. Stunning scenery, your visit to Bodie was superb, a very eerie place, and fascinating all at the same time. Such a long drive to Vegas, but those mountains and straight long long roads were amazing. Not sure I could cope with Vegas and how busy it is, but you had to do it.
I have found all of your road trip videos so interesting. This one though I got really emotional. It’s so sad to me that people left their stuff. What could have been so devastating that you would leave what little you had behind. I just love history. This was absolutely fantastic. Thank y’all so much for bringing us along. We really appreciate y’all❤xo
Nick, I love your enthusiasm in this one :)
I really like that… I never knew about Brodie….. I looked it up and it’s about four hours from me… that was really cool… Can’t wait to see your Vegas vlogs….love you guys❤️❤️
Absolutely fascinating loved it , simply breathtaking scenery 🥰
wow Bodie looks amazing! it was so weird to think that people lived there before and how many years has passed, things like that and history freaks me out 😂 it like how nick says when you get home you have those moments of the world continuing around you and life being so different all around the world, its just crazy to think about isn't. I wonder what life was like at Bodie, and I wonder what the people there thought about what future life would be like. blows my mind 🤣 loving these vlogs so much! I feel like I travel the world through you to ❤ xx
Can't wait for more, the ghost town was amazing, really looking forward to Vegas xD
You got to see Cher in 2009!!!!! That's me screaming! Every time I've been to Las vegas, I would always ask the rental car people, 'is Cher in town?' She's never been in town when I've been there. I'm so jealous! No kidding, you guys are doing what I would love to do. So I am living vicariously through you. Bode is just right up my alley. I would love to do things like that. Seriously, you are giving me ideas of places that I want to try someday.
You should have gone to Virginia City, Nevada. It’s a working ghost town, lots of shops. A big silver town.
Loving the vlogs so far I would love to visit Bodie ❤
What an amazing vlog guys! I loved Bodie, the views and the contrast to Las Vegas! Thank you so much for sharing! XX
Really loving these vlogs guys. You’ll have to do a European road trip next 💜💜
Thanx for showing Bodie, it's a place we would rarely see as off the beaten track. Living the wild west history. Again loved the music accompanying Bodie. We love Vegas, just soak it up. Loads of great eateries. Buffalo slot machine will eat your dollars.
Guys that was an incredible vlog,Bodie looked amazing, I'm so intrigued by everything oldie worldie,I loved that we got to look through the windows with you and my biggest fascination was definitely the morgue 😱...hats off to the staff that stay on site, I know I couldn't do it!
Las Vegas is just so busy and vibrant but I'm not sure I'd manage it myself, I like peace and quiet too much😄!
Loved this one 💙💙 xx
Bodie looks amazing. Just like Little House On The Prairie😁
Great vlog, thank you for sharing Bodie, was absolutely fascinating, a complete contrast and another world to Vegas 😊
So interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. Bodie was super cool!
Bern to Vegas 6 times but last trip was 15 years ago. Done the helicopter to Grand Canyon. Done boat on lake Mead and think it was red rock canyon I want too x
I’m enjoying the vlogs so much .
Wow wow amazing vlogs thank you guy's xx
Fantastic video guys love love loved this one looking forward to more keep up the great videos guys and have a wonderful time xx
haha loved the mock shoot out! The ghost town was amazing! Gave me the heebie jeebies but I love stuff like that. So interesting. Wow Vegas is so in your face, especially after Yosemite & Bodie. Really great vlog guys. Thanks so much. Can’t wait for the next one ❤
Thank you for another fantastic vlog, Bodie is so interesting! I've never been to Vegas but it looks amazing! Ultimate people watch place lol, can't wait to see more! 😊
My favourite vlog so far ..can't wait for the Vegas vlogs went in 2017 stayed at the cosmo and 2 nights at the grand canyon which was incredible I'll never forget that trip so looking forward to seeing them love you guys thank you x
Vegas is overwhelming - hope you survived it!
Excellent vlogs guys….❤️❤️❤️
Thank you loved it. This vlog was fabulous,fun and amazing. Sorry about your mum nick. Sending love 💖 take care. Looking forward to the rest of vlogs. Thank you xxx
The thing inside the Methodist church that you didn’t know what it was, is a wood burning stove. It would have had a metal cylindrical chimney going straight up through the roof and would have been the only heating in the chapel.
Absolutely fantastic vlog, ghost town was brilliant something I would love to do, looks very lively in Vegas stay safe, thank you for such an amazing time on this vlog, you are both entertaining your viewers to the fullest, Thank you love to you both ❤️❤️
Incredible-I had no idea that Bodie even existed.Thanks for vlogging it all,it's brilliant.
Just came back today after five nights at the Palazzo, we did a ten year vow renewal and went to see Katy Perry and the John Legend show.
Thank you for sharing your trip, i have loved everything about these vlogs, their have given me some inspiration, never knew Yosemite was so beautiful, can you please do a vlog on how to plan a trip like that 😀
There’s a curse to anyone who takes an object from the town, they get a ton in the mail every year from people who didn’t believe and started having really bad luck after taking a nail or can.
You guys are too funny. Love the face off in the ghost town 😁
@26:58 Or thereabouts, where y'all thought it said "Hotel" I think it was "I.O.O.F." which stands for International Order of Odd Fellows which is a non-political, non-sectarian international fraternal order of Odd Fellowship. It was founded in 1819. Loving your videos so far! Thank you for bringing us along your journey across America!
Lol the guy screaming f ING this fing that 🤣🤣🤣 welcome to Vegas 🙈🙈🙈 just walk your valuables 🙈🙈
Enjoyed as usual this vlog .The ghost town was eerie.We stayed at the Hilton in Vegas.Feet walked off us as yours wOULD have been I’m sure xo
Although I liked your trip to Bodie , my favourite so far is Yosemite, it bought back such great memories for me ! Great road trip ! Looking forwards to seeing how big vegas has become since my last visit !
Absolutely loving your road trip. Bodie was shocking to see and I couldn’t help thinking where the graves were 😮. I was on tender hooks for you regarding fuel and if you’d get there.
Thanks for sharing this series with us x
U guys are amazing
Watched you both for couple years , but don’t really comment as watch on TV. however had to say that I’m Really enjoying watching your road trip series , something I would love to do one day ! Made me laugh the cowboy bit , place looked amazing ! ❤
Unfortunately on our road trip in 2014 we only had a couple of hours in Bodie, could have spent many more hours. That final couple of miles in to the ghost town is a bit of a bumpy ride lol
Loving these vlogs. Far better than the theme parks which have been done to death.
What an experience , Bodie was eerie but not to be missed , I feel. Just like house on the prairie.
Loved Vegas when we where there , many years ago , we stayed in Aladdin , which is now planet Hollywood I think . If you haven’t already , you must do the ride off the top of the stratosphere. Go on ! Dare ya ! Enjoy every minute . Stay safe 💋
A really enjoyable watch. Maybe Vegas was overwhelming as you previously was in more scenic and quiet Yosemite. Sensory overload.
Brilliant vlog, really enjoyed it. Hope your mum is doing ok❤️❤️
Really enjoyed this vlog. Great to see the real America, thank you for sharing your adventure.
Someone from the roads dept in the UK should contact them and ask what they use in their roads
Wait until you see us driving around Italy. Thier roads are terrible
I'm about halfway through this video. I wanted to stop and comment. In the church, on the left, that was a wood burning stove to heat the place. In the barbershop, the chair on the right that you called the children's Place for getting their haircut was actually where you get your shoes shined. They had little metal things sticking up where you would put your foot. And then someone would sit down in front of you and Shine Your shoes. These shoe shining stations were often in barbershops. They could also be it train stations, etc.
Bodie is very interesting. i would love to go see it and the redwood forrest too. We visited Virginia city, Nevada years ago. they had an open saloon still called the Silver Dollar Lady, or something like that.
Above the bar hung a framed picture of a woman with her dress covered in silver dollars. this was in 1963. imagine how old they were!!!
What a fabulous Vlog but what a gruelling drive that was for you xxx
9:33 This was such a good shot. Nice job, Lee.
What an amazing trip you two are brilliant always wanted to see Vegas cant wait to see tomorrows nights you certainly see life.
You guys are going from the Old West Sin City of Bodie to the New West Sin City of Las Vegas! LoL
For something to freeze it must go below 32F.
What a long drive. The ghost town was interesting. As a employee I wouldn't want to stay the nights there. I can only imagine the sounds there. Spooky! Las Vegas would be sensor overload for me! The noises, smells, & everything to look at one time.✌️👍🤓
Agree about vegas. Very overwhelming the first time... def go on the rollercoaster in nyny and penn and tellar show in rio was amazing if it is still on
Oh I hope you went to see some shows, they say Divas Starring Frank Marino is a brilliant show, in real life Frank actually looks like Michael Jackson, uncanny
Did you notice the box on the shelf in the general store said Ghirardelli 😂
This is the 23rd, news was saying snow in sierras is coming. You got there just in time.
loved the ghost town thank you very much
The tiny squirrels with little tails were probably chipmunks.
You beat me to it 👍
Wow, fantastic vlog thank you
Make sure to check out the Ethel M chocolate factory tour while you are here in Las Vegas.
Awesome video loved it,,
Hi. Just planning our USA road trip and would love to take the route you did. The scenery is breathtaking. Is it possible to share your route from Yosemite to Vegas? X
i don't have the route saved anymore but you can follow it in the order of the vlogs we filmed every step
@@TheLodgeGuys will try and follow, just trying to work out the roads! Some look quite scary but the lakes you saw looked amazing.
Wow, that was amazing,but why did people leave their things behind? Why didn’t they pack everything up before they left? You can’t but wonder if something scared them off, for them to leave in such a hurry, seems strange to me, spooky even,loved the vlog guys was absolutely fascinating.
It's so funny. Quantum Leap, the new TV series, had an episode where some Gunslingers came into town who were working for the railroad. The Railroad wanted to buy up the entire and hired these Gunslingers to terrify people into leaving but some people wouldn't leave. They threatened them and several people were just leaving by the droves. It turned out that this little ragtag group stayed and fought for the town. I thought of Bodie when I was watching that show and wondered if something similar to that had happened to these people. I just wonder if they were run out of town.
That was a hell of a day and you both look shattered especially Nick, on that boring road you should have swapped and had a kip
We loved that day 💙
I think alot of that was vandalised as the sofas & beds have been ripped apart that or animals got in & wrecked the furniture & they had to board up the doors so noone or wild animals could get in
Lol nick eager to see the coffins, I doubt there be anyone in them nick 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Barry manilow at the Westgate lads 👌 great concert
Wasn't the park mgm where that guy did that shoot out on people down below, all over the news 🙈🙈🙈🙈
I thought it was the Wynn. I know Jason Aldean was on stage at the time that it happened.
