Weirdlinks, one of our favorite bizzare websites, has put up this photo essay on Bodie CA, "a notorious old west gold mining town." One of the few genuine ghost towns left in the west, the site has been a state park since the early 1960s. Once you get past the somewhat lurid captions ("Bodie: The town of death!"), the pictures are quite compelling.

Well, I know where we're spending our next summer vacation... whatcha think Ellen?
