"Good-bye God...I'm going to Bodie!"
excerpt from the diary of young girl who's family moved to Bodie
This is the Methodist chuch in Bodie...
As I mentioned yesterday...Bodie was a rough town...
but it's my understanding that Bodie also had quite a number of churches in its heyday...
The quote is an actual quote from a little girl's diary.
She wrote it upon learning from her parents that they were moving to Bodie...
The town was such a rough town that she interpreted it as
being doomed to a Godless town.
