This Old House- Bodie State Historic Park

 

On June 9th, 2020 we visited Bodie State Historic Park in California. I added some photos to the song written by Stewart Hamblin in 1954 and sung here by Jimmy Dean. Bodie was a gold rush ghost town and what remains is about 5% of the buildings from the towns heyday of 1877-1881. It became a state park in 1962 and is  preserved in a state of arrested decay. Bodies peak population  probably ranged from 7 to 8,000. I think the song written by Stewart Hamblin reminds me how short our life is down here and our impact can live on but I am getting ready to meet the saints...
Wednesday we hiked to several waterfalls on Lake Tahoe. 
Got 1600 steps in that day, almost sunburned, and lots of fun.
Thursday headed home and ate at our 
first sit down restaurant in 4 months.
Thursday night in Bend, Oregon with Chic Fil A carryout.
Friday a slight detour to visit my sister and Home Friday night.


Here is photos added to another song called This Old House by Jimmy Dean- Hope you have time to click on the arrow and view our day to a different song.
