A remnant of wallpaper found in Bodie, CA. A remote town is an understatement as today it's a mostly 13 mile dirt road away from the forgotten US395 and sporadically inaccessible as it's at 8300 feet elevation.

It's held in a state of "arrested decay" so if you go there it's as much as it was when it was abandoned as feasible.

My and Kat's memory is the last person left in the 60s, not the 40s, but I can't find a link. The last burial was 1994 and maybe a dozen people have that option

@olavf Yeah, went there with to explore with my parents in the early 1960s. Then a couple more times with my wife and kids in the 1980s. Fascinating.

@shuttersparks it probably hasn't changed much but we've been there thrice and there's always something we missed.
