Today is the annual celebration of the Burning of Bodie
and thus a fitting day to have the Retirement Party for
the Head Ranger of Bodie for the last 20 years,
Brad Sturdivant.
Those of us that love Bodie have much to thank him for
over the years. His dedication to the preservation of
Bodie amidst the bureaucratic red tape that makes up
the State of CA and the CA State Parks system.
We know Brad will always be near to Bodie in spirit,
if not physically, and we hope everyone will help
Preserve Bodie and carry on Brad's honorable
tradition and remember what the real miracle
of Bodie is....
Thanks Brad, we tip our hats to you,
hoist a shot of the "Good Stuff" in your name,
for all the memories and good times you
shared with everyone....
So as we wish you "Happy Trails to you..."
Here is a collection of Bodie images
to share on this day....
