Bodie Mercantile

Bodie California is located in the Eastern Sierras and is the official ghost town of California. It is listed as a State Historical Park, earning that designation in 1962 when the state took over.
During the Gold Rush days, Bodie was a bustling small city of between 7 and 10 thousand residents. Multiple events including a couple of fires spelt the end of Bodie.

Our New Idria YouTube video is coming! I went out there in November having finally made it to the old ghost town on my third attempt. Editing is coming along, I am at least 50% through, with the weekend ahead of me. This video is at so-called New Idria Reservoir, which is a couple of miles upstream on San Carlos Creek from the town itself. #newidria #ghosttown #mercurymine #quicksilver #offroad #offthebeatentrack #powerwagon #fourwheeltravel
