    I really enjoy how you show the old pictures over the current scenery to give us an idea what it looked like in the past. You guys have a exceptional way of bringing history alive. Thank you.
  • 20:25 With so much conjecture and mystery around a town washed away by history, this is a triumphant little moment of forensics! Great stuff, History Hunters. Such a great channel.

    I used to live on the cattle ranch that ran cattle there and Bodie. I lived in a place called Wichman which is an old house that was a post office.

    I love the way you guys superimposed the old images into the landscape to give it perspective. That was an awesome video!
  • For a piece of barren landscape, you managed to correlate a LOT of fascinating information. Thanks.
  • Watching history hunters from new zealand love it cant get enough of it its great sarah your husband looks like patrick duffy
  • Wow!! That superimposed shot was really cool. Where you showed the old buildings of the time over the current landscape. Loved that.
  • you'd have had an easier drive in if you'd gone through Bodie on the California side. in the late 80's, I worked at the Aurora Partnership mine on the other side of the hill from Aurora. I used to hike up into the extinct volcano to the north of the townsite and look for artifacts -- lots of metal stuff from the mining days, but better, tons of projectile points, trade beads, etc. from older times. iirc, Aurora was once the country seat of two counties, Esmeralda in NV and Mono in CA. The survey of the stateline through that area was done to determine which side of the line Aurora lay on.

    20:32 This old photo superimposed over modern day was amazing. I kept going back and forth just to try and see where everything was in the vast nothing that is now. I think most amazing was that main road is just gone. If you have no idea, you would not even know that used to be a road, much less an entire city.
