One of the locations is “Bodie”  it’s a ghost town in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, California, United States. … Bodie became a boom town in 1876 after the discovery of a profitable line of gold, by 1879 it had a population of 7,000–10,000. a small part of the town survives, preserved in a state of “arrested decay.” Interiors remain as they were left and stocked with goods. Designated as a National Historic Site and a State Historic Park in 1962, the remains of Bodie are being preserved in a state of “arrested decay” Today it looks much the same as it did over 50 years ago when the last residents left.
