REAL GHOST TOWN: Bodie, California!

REAL GHOST TOWN: Bodie, California!

Bodie, California is one of the best preserved Ghost Towns, way up in the hills of Northern California Gold Country!

This former boomtown struck gold and grew quickly as miners and opportunists and businessmen came up the trails to try their luck. The towns people disappeared almost as quickly as they appeared as the profits from the nearby gold mines were declining.

Come explore this Gold Rush, Wild West Ghost Town with us from the homesteads to the storefronts!

Special thanks to our cousin-at-arms Steve from @thepicvan who not only added some great footage but also some great voice and character acting!

Also, Part 2 will release soon as we stay long after the sun goes down!

    LOL! "Full Blown Commode" Someone must have had an explosive movement πŸ˜€
    This was an amazing stop; I love old history like this. Well captured and entertaining. Great job and thank you for sharing.

    Cool video. Was just there a few days ago. It’s not northwest of yosemite though. North or northeast.

    Better not have taken anything! Bad luck will come your way…

    San Diego Fleet rumored to return in a league called MLFB. Would go to a game if the fleet returned?

    Being something of a barfly myself, I was speechless when I saw the hotel bar. When I look at those walls it’s like I can feel the energy of all that went on there: the great times, the drama, the good people, the not so good people, the late nights… I wish I could see it

  6. YungReckless Gang on May 3, 2021 at 5:19 am

    I just wish I lived in the 1800’s to experience that time

  7. Not Available on May 3, 2021 at 5:22 am

    I want my epitath to be, " Chris died. It was quite the ride. Think about your own mortality and don’t be snide."

  9. Michelle Dominguez on May 3, 2021 at 5:23 am

    8:00 we’re gonna get some more color out of these hills πŸ˜‚

  10. Gevorg Nazaryan on May 3, 2021 at 5:24 am

    It’s been 10 years I’ve been wanting to go there, I think I will go this year for my bday

  11. Aoife Kirby on May 3, 2021 at 5:24 am

    I was feeling sad that I couldn’t make the trek to Bodie this summer, and I stumbled upon your video. This was so much fun to watch! I’m glad you had so much fun exploring my favorite ghost town. I just subscribed. πŸ™‚

  12. Eric Easterday on May 3, 2021 at 5:26 am

    I wonder if that would be a great place to shoot a Hollywood movie??? Lol πŸ˜‚

  13. BigRanchJr. on May 3, 2021 at 5:26 am

    Anyone else think of rdr2 when you watch this? (Red dead redemption 2)

  14. Matt Lidyoff on May 3, 2021 at 5:28 am

    What a cool place bodie
    Thx 4 your video..πŸ‘£πŸŒ²πŸ˜

  15. carpii on May 3, 2021 at 5:28 am

    I read a book called Big Bad Bodie about 10 years ago. I had no idea so much of it still remained and in such good condition.
    Im a Brit so will probably never get the chance to visit, but it’s great to finally see it. Very cool

  16. sunking2001 on May 3, 2021 at 5:30 am

    It’s cool a young man like you has a passion for historic ghost towns. I’m 67 and love this kind of stuff. I’ve been wanting to go there over the last few months…but the virus has come our way. I wanted to stay at a local motel…I’m not sure I can trust how well the hotel rooms are sanitized regarding the virus. I will make it there eventually. I really enjoyed your video.

  17. Alaska Jack on May 3, 2021 at 5:34 am

    The shootout sequence that you imitated reminds me of modern day in the black jungle known as Chicago. LOL the modern-day wild west gangster style. Am I right?

  18. Mr. D on May 3, 2021 at 5:34 am

    Very informative brother! Finally someone has arrived to show us the forgotten hidden spots of our beautiful California!

  19. Nevada Hiker on May 3, 2021 at 5:37 am

    I first found out about Bodie from a 1988 music video called "Don’t Know What You’ve Got Till It’s Gone" by Cinderella. Took me 22 years to finally make it in 2010. Really cool place.

  20. MangoHombre on May 3, 2021 at 5:37 am

    I wish I could post the picture, but I have one of me where I’m sitting in that "car" at 7:46 back in 1989.

  21. Alaska Jack on May 3, 2021 at 5:37 am

    Any whores in that town.?

  22. Kailey Nicole on May 3, 2021 at 5:37 am

  23. sunking2001 on May 3, 2021 at 5:37 am

    I’ve been to many places like this…"to realize…humans like us…used to live like this…I have appreciation for them.
