Thank you

Interesting. Good to know. That would be a cool experience to stay up there. I also know they do tours at night when buildings are lit up. Adds a whole new element to the experience.

One of the best ghost towns out there.

The downtown is becoming a ghost town from all the videos/news reports that I’ve seen. So sad.

Unfortunately all of the buildings will be gone in the future. Bodie is in a state of arrested decay, so buildings are not restored. From what I understand they will patch roofs or repair broken windows but that’s about it.

Thanks Don. I actually film most of my videos on a GoPro. Sometimes I will film on my iPhone, but it’s older so picture quality isn’t the best.

Brutal. Was he trying to film or did it pop out of his pocket?

It definitely is more alive then other “ghost towns”. There were people out and about as I was going thru. I feel like the people that live there do so for economic reasons as well as being away from society. Slab City is definitely way more sketchy.

Go find em in the dump

Thanks Craig. The history of Keeler (and the Owens Valley in general) is really interesting and sad at the same time. Things would be so much different there if all their water wasn’t sucked dry to feed LA. The poor people that live there now have to suffer adverse health effects due to blowing dust from the dry lake bed.

Thanks. Bodie is certainly one of my favorite places that I have been to.

Don’t worry. There’s no commentary in my videos but there is music. I like to show these places as they are without my talking overshadowing them.

@@jaywilliams2408 thank you Jay!

Thanks for checking out the video. I watched some of your videos as well. Love that area of Florida.

I've been to Slab City and Bombay Beach before (check out my other videos). I will be posting a video on Keeler soon as well. I'm honestly kind of drawn to these types of places. I find them very interesting. Definitely not an easy lifestyle but people make it work. Darwin is without a doubt safer than Slab City.

@@jaywilliams2408 When I was out there Panamint Springs was just a small campground/motel with diesel generators and no phone. I understand its much bigger now. And Darwin has all services and good road access. There are several vids on it. It is mostly retirees with cheap lifestyles. Other than the heat I can see it. Slab City, no. Colorado has some abandoned towns, Vicksburg and one behind the Argo Mill on I 70 (Russel Gulch) which people have moved into. I guess you could go to Oatman or Tombstone. Jerome, Bisbee. Roswell looked abandoned when I was there but maybe its coming back. I could have said Cripple Creek or Central City CO. but since they put in gambling they are wall to wall packed. Same thing for Rapid City SD. Glad I saw things before they changed for the worse.

Was in Telluride when it was virtually abandoned with most buildings closed. Not any more!

@@rogersmith7396 I love the old ghost towns, even if they are still inhabited by people. Plenty of great places to check out in the Western half of this country. Unfortunately like you said, they are quickly disappearing as places are getting developed everywhere.

Thanks. I try to film my adventures so friends and family can enjoy.

Thanks Craig. It’s close to Nevada in Eastern CA. I think what’s neat about this town is the resiliency of its people. Definitely a harsh and unforgiving landscape but they make it work for them.

Cool place. Spoke with some super friendly locals about life out there. It’s certainly not easy but that’s the way many of them like it.

The Eastern Sierra region is one of the best.

@@jaywilliams2408 More like the Panamints.

Rock, I was actually looking into it. But after spending a week in the heat of the desert, I decided I will do that next time.

@@jaywilliams2408 A wise move with the way the heat is out there. Fall or Spring time is the best time.

Thanks Craig. I also checked out your channel and subbed. Looks like we both have interests in hiking and checking out abandoned structures. I actually have family in that area of Eastern PA.
