Ghost Town

David's family is visiting from Indiana, and we are staying at a comfy house a the base of Lundy Canyon on the eastern side of the Sierra, not too far from where David lives for his job. Most days have been consumed with eating good food and playing bannanagrams, but today we took a stroll around Bodie, a 19th century ghost town in the California State Park system. This former mining town contains dozens of standing buildings, many still with furniture and other household item. 

Bodie is surronded by sagebrush and hills, just east of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. 

Inside of an old church, with an organ. The dry climate has helped preserve the structures and their interiors.

Bigfoot spotting.
