Pros: Probably the best ghost town in the west Cons: Hard to access, cannot get refreshments or go potty except at parking area
I first heard of Bodie, California in the late 60s. Charles Kuralt did an "On the Road" segment from there. It fascinated me, as did any real western story back then in my early adolescence. The thought of a large ghost town still in good condition...
Pros: A real ghost town, maintained in a state of "arrested decay" Cons: Often unreachable during the winter.

Pros: Well-preserved, never crowded Cons: Hard to reach, only open in summer
If you love history, you'll love Bodie, it's that simple.
