11. The Ghost Town of Bodie, California.
If Fort Jefferson in Key West sounds like an eerie destination, wait till you see what the Ghost Town of Bodie has in store!
What began as a bustling mining town in 1859 could now be considered a time machine. With over 2,000 buildings and 7,000 residents at the height of its prosperity, Bodie was once the place to be for hopefuls wanting to make it big in the mining industry.
In the 1870s and 1880s, two booms helped keep the town on the map before its inevitable decline. In 1920 only 120 people remained in Bodie until, eventually, none remained.
What’s fascinating about this travel destination is that you can peruse old shops still populated with stocked goods.

I have recently moved to Tennessee and am constantly awed by its beauty!!

I visited the Byodo In Temple in Hawaii 3 or 4 times. Very peaceful place.
Also made it the Chapel in Arkansas, another peaceful, serene place.
Tho I didn’t see the cave, I saw the Mendenhall glacier area twice.
Wish I had known about a few of the other places listed as we were in some of the other States.

Unfortunately I’ve been to a small number of these sites. The Temple in Hawaii was really impressive to me and my dear lady. Thanks.
