With Halloween a day away, I thought it quite fitting that I write a blog post be about an abandoned ghost town I recently visited on my California adventures.

I’ve always been fascinated by these deserted little shanty towns, and have looked with anticipation to the day I got to visit one (one that was more than just a makeshift set rearranged to look like someone had left in a hurry). What a treasure Bodie Ghost Town turned out to be. It was eerie roaming the land of this forgotten county, and one almost got the sense of nostalgia and longing of having returned to a place long forgotten. With the wind eerily blowing through the tumbleweed, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience of an era long forsaken. My camera and I clicked happily away.
