The Silver Fire is north of town and our house, but we're keeping a close eye on it. Luckily it's moving towards less populated areas and wildland.

The rapidly growing Silver Fire near Bishop prompted evacuations for parts of Inyo and Mono counties on Sunday afternoon. As of 8 p.m., the fire had burned 1,000 acres and was threatening nearby structures and power lines.

Bodie is a great visit. It's quite a drive north with extremely scenic views and then over hard packed dirt roads, but it's a cool blast from the past once you're there. Good day trip for sight seeing and photography. Stop in Bridgeport for lunch or June Lake's Tiger Bar for dinner on your way back to Bishop.

Merry Christmas from Bodie State Historic Park to wherever YOU are! Here's a glimpse into what Christmas looked like for Bodie both during its boom and after. ❄️🎄🎄

The 1878 Christmas Eve edition of the Daily Bodie Standard reported that the town's population had reached 5,000 inhabitants.

On Christmas Day of 1878, the Bodie Standard reprinted a Grass Valley Union article regarding Bodie's incredible growth at that time. "The average arrivals are about thirty per day, and all departures intend to return... There are 47 whisky saloons, 10 faro tables... 2 banking houses, 5 wholesale stores, an excellent daily paper, and all the accessories of civilization, and refinement will soon follow."
The population would grow to its peak in 1879, ranging somewhere between 8,000-10,000 people and around 2,000 structures standing!

After Bodie's "bust" in 1882, a much smaller population continued to call Bodie home well into the 1900s.

Jack Bryson remembered Christmas in Bodie as a child in the early 1900s. The Christmas parties for Bodie's children had not one, but two Christmas trees and Santa always arrived on a sled, with a stocking full of candy for all!* 🎅

Today, visitors can still see some of the sleds used for Bodie winter travel located in the field and shed across from the Miners Union Hall museum!
