BODIE, CALIFORNIA The ghost town of Bodie was named after William S. Bodie, who discovered gold here in 1859. By the 1880s, Bodie had a population of 10,000 and was known for its lawlessness. Only about 5% of the original town is still standing, and is maintained in a state of "arrested decay" by the California State Park service.     Big Wheel   Dechambeau Hotel   Water Pump   Smith Premium   Methodist Church   Wagon Wheel   Drapes   Fireman's Boot   Ledger, Boone Store   Cooking Utensils   Boone Store   Lottie Johl House
