Bodie State Historic Park is a California gold-mining ghost town with over 170 buildings which are protected in a “state of arrested decay.” That means officials won’t fix up the abandoned buildings, but they won’t let Bodie fall to dust either. Bodie was too wicked to ever truly die. More than 1,000 remote acres make up the once violent, lawless and booming gold mine town in the Wild West. Nearly 200,000 yearly visitors come to roam the ghost town of Bodie.
Decay scattered around the ghost town of Bodie. It rivaled Tombstone and Dodge City in violence. At one point, Bodie had a population of about 10,000 people in a town known as second to none for wickedness. The town also has a wicked climate, sweltering hot summers and buried in cold snow in the winters.
