Bodie State Park

 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!.


The old buildings in Bodie lean and creak like they're sharing secrets with the wind, their windows still watching the empty streets. I love sneaking through the shadows, imagining all the stories left behind in the cracks of the wood.

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. 🦊📜🌄

Hello California hiking

 Hiya gang, 
Little Fox here with my hiking pal (he's taking a break in Merrill Oregon) while the roommates are waiting for food. 

Found this cool old stove in Merrill.  Notice the brand, yep I bet you didn't realize us foxes were in the furnace biz.  
Now to the hiking.... the Eastern Sierra Nevadas are so amazing.  So similar to Yosemite but the cool thing is being in the national forest you can bring your dog on the hike.
The alpine lakes are so amazing. 
The granite (right????) are so different than the Pacific Northwest - 
Not only dramatic lakes but amazing hiking through the trees. 
Once we finished the hike, the roommates went to the store at the campground since they saw a milkshake machine.....sadly the darn thing was broken.

Stuffies and places I saw along the way

A few random friends I met along the way in Miami, Marathon and Key West.

Hemingways cats. 

More Hemingways cats. 
Key West Chickens. 
Key West Chickens. 


Potato, my stuffy drinking buddy.
Who knew Sandy had a cafe in Key West?

Makes sense why I saw these All Dressed chips in Key West (still the best flavor by far).
