    I was there last summer. It was packed. The most authentic, left alone except the state keeps the buildings from falling. Use to have over a thousand buildings. 60 saloons on Main Street alone. This is the real deal not the the tourist traps like Virginia City, Tombstone etc.

    The fact that people are respectful and do not molest the history there....gives me a little bit of hope for us as humans.

      I agree. I think all the items left behind are more valuable left in place for people to see.

      That's because it's constantly guarded by rangers

    My opinion, this was your best video yet. The background music, the respectful way you viewed the buildings was awesome, I could just imagine the old souls that lived there long ago.

    the thing you thought was a telegraph machine was a telephone switchboard. someone calling would reach the operator, who would manually connect the caller to the number they wanted with those patch chords.

    It was a visit to Bodie back in the early 90's that I learned a new phrase called "Arrested Decay", that's what they practice with the structures there, they don't restore anything, they just try to stop the rate of decay to preserve what has survived! Great place, some of my best photography ever!

    I toured Bodie before it was a state park with the Boy Scouts, that was about 1955 or 56. That Chef. Coupe was blue then and had a Nev. license plate on it. You could go in most of the building unless the guard who drove around in a Model A Ford caught you. I have a picture of me looking out the jail barred window, which is funny because I became a Jailer for L.A. many years later.

    Great subject matter.
    Really great video technique and editing.
    You are quite respectful and it's great how you showed us in each window of certain buildings. How many buildings you think built today will be standing 100 years from now like these are? And actually maybe it's 150 years.
    Thanks for taking the time to drive over there and back to vegas. This is a really awesome 😎👍 video

    I stay out of Commiefornia. My 4X4 truck is illegal in Commiefornia because of the lift laws, and the guns I carry with me when out in the open desert are illegal in Commiefornia too. I stay in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah when I travel to remote areas.

    After watching your most current video of the car museum, it makes me wonder if any of these cars you come across in the desert are rare cars where very few were manufactured. 🤔

    Very very impressive, I love history and thank you Trooper for taking us here, my deceased Grandfather would be very impressed with Bodie California, he had a masters degree in History and wrote and published a book with illustrative photography about the history of Central Utah and its surrounding areas and he was an antique collector on top of that.

    I was there in 74.. I was stationed at Castle AFB and me and a friend rode over in early October... Did you notice when you looked in the church there was a big square frame on the wall behind the pulpit.. It framed an oil cloth with the 10 commandments on it.. Someone stole it and they put some heavy gauge fencing so no one could enter the church... Everything else looks pretty much the same as it did 50 years ago... Thx for bringing us along...
