Why do so little structures remain standing? Were the ones that are left just built w/better materials or were some of the buildings dismantled for scrap?
How do these ghost towns die out? Slowly or quickly like Chernobyl? I mean, did the residents just slowly move out over the course of years when gold was less and less available or did the mayor just say get out?
Thanks for your compliments. Bodie is well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.
Hope you took your camera. When I went I didn't know what to expect.
Good, by God...I'm going to Bodie!
i went there last weekend
