Hope you are all have a
Wonderful Independence Day somewhere...
If you can't be Celebrating with the Parade in Bridgeport
then please do it Safe and Sanely some where else.
I wish I could say that the State of California
and our State Parks System were having
as much fun.... unfortunately I think you ALL
KNOW how dire the situations IS right NOW.
All of our State Parks need your help, esp.
Bodie as it contains artifacts that can deteriorate
and take our irreplaceable History with it.
I would like to ask EVERYONE reading this
to please think about just making even a
small $15 donation to the Bodie Foundation
to Help Preserve OUR history.
If not the trees in the parks will still live,
but the artifacts in Bodie NEED
but the artifacts in Bodie NEED
"constant care" to remain in a
"State of Arrested Decay."
These buildings and their contents
can NOT be Replaced...Once GONE
like MJ or whomever we will not
be able to have it to visit if Mother Nature
reclaims it as she tries EVERY Year.
Whether hot summer sun or
freezing winter snow Bodie is
delicate and there IS a REASON
you do NOT SEE any other Ghost Towns
Like Bodie... They take Work and Constant Care.
Please enjoy the videos and realize exactly
what part of our history they represent.
Being THERE is NOT the same as
reading about it in a book...
If you have been there you KNOW this!
If we ALL just do a little we can save it.
Please check out the Bodie Foundation
website and read their Mission Statement,
and considering donating a Birthday present
to America this year by coughing up just a
little of "your gold" for Bodie...just a thought...
Please enjoy the videos- at least we do
have them for now.
I chose THIS particular video for this day
to show you an interview with Brad, the
20 year Head Ranger of Bodie, that just
retired. I wanted YOU to hear what HE
considers "The Miracle" of Bodie.
He has dedicated the last 20 years to
help preserving it.. We owe him ALOT.
