In 1877, the mining operations in Bodie, California were bought out by the Standard Mining Company and within months, the partners discovered a significant vein of rich gold ore. Profits rose dramatically and by the end of 1878 Bodie's, population had soared to some 5,000 people. The Standard Mine would yield nearly 15 million dollars in gold over the next 25 years.

We made this visit to Bodie many years ago, it's visit has left an everlasting impression on me ever since. I felt as though I might have stepped back in time and had a true glimpse of the hardships, and true grit these people demonstrated to endure their environment. I am in awe and can't begin to comprehend how challenging it must have been spiritually, physically, psychologically, it was for it's inhabitants. If you visit, please be very respectful to this site. Many suffered, worked, and died here.
