Hi there! It's me Little Fox visiting Bodie State Historic Park, where long ago, humans rushed here in 1859 chasing shiny gold and built a wild, bustling town. I scampered through dusty streets and peeked into old wooden buildings where 10,000 people once lived, laughed, and sometimes got into trouble!
Now it's quiet and still—a perfect ghost town for a curious fox like me to explore and imagine the past.✨
I tiptoed up to the old wooden church, its steeple reaching bravely into the sky like it still had something holy to say. Inside, the pews are dusty and silent, but I can almost hear the echoes of songs and whispers from long ago. Notice the electric lamps? Bodie was an operational town until WWII when the town died up. In 1962 the State of California received the land and made it into a state park. Thanks, California!.
Notice the wooden post holding the building up?
The Eastern Sierra winters are tough on these old buidlings but they are standing strong.
My adventure to Bodie State Park was like stepping into a storybook filled with dusty treasures and forgotten tales. From the creaky old church to the leaning wooden buildings, every corner whispered secrets of the past. As I scampered back home, my little fox heart felt full of wonder and curiosity, already dreaming of my next wild adventure. 🦊📜🌄
