BODIE

Over the years, Bodie has seen numerous booms...and busts.
There were some huge gold strikes here and, at one point, the
town had nearly 10,000 residents.
By 1882 though, the big strikes were mostly history and the
folks began to go elsewhere.

And now my comrades are all gone
Naught remans to toast.
They have left me here in my misery,
Like some poor wandering ghost.
