    It's cool a young man like you has a passion for historic ghost towns. I'm 67 and love this kind of stuff. I've been wanting to go there over the last few months...but the virus has come our way. I wanted to stay at a local motel...I'm not sure I can trust how well the hotel rooms are sanitized regarding the virus. I will make it there eventually. I really enjoyed your video.

      Thank you so much! For what it's worth I have done two mini road trips through Gold Country during the pandemic and had little contact with anybody. Just front desk to check in. I felt pretty safe since I stayed apart from everybody around, but that is up to you. All of the facilities are taking precautions. Hope this ends soon so we can all enjoy without the extra worry! Thank you again for the kind words.

      Thanks for your input on staying in motels during this pandemic. Four years ago I took a Gold Rush tour alone (I'm single) beginning in Nevada City then heading south on Hiway 49. I did my tour over two car trips and ended in Mariposa. I visited every museum, points of interest, and local shops and businesses and stayed at the National Hotel & Restaurant in Jamestown...originally built in 1859. Great history. Have you been to Virginia City, NV. or Death Valley. I think you would love them. If you go...be sure to make a video for YT.

    • @vvarietyshow
      @vvarietyshow  4 года назад

      That sounds fun! I've been just taking a couple day trips to do videos, but honestly I try to space it out. I don't want to grind through and run out of videos to do! I keep some in my back pocket for later. I have been to Virginia City, it's one of my favorite places. I have a huge list of Virginia City videos to do this year but the pandemic put a hold on it. My cousin recently moved up to Carson City so I have an outpost up that way haha. Hoping to do Death Valley as well but I've never been there. I also have a list of videos to do up and down highway 395. I just have to work full time while saving up money to go on filming trips. Definitely more videos coming and if you haven't yet we have a whole Playlist of gold country and wild west videos we've done. Thanks again for the kind words and the story!

    Every time I see a picture or a video of a piano in one of the buildings in Bodie, I have to wonder could one of those pianos have been played in one of the saloons back in it's heyday. I heard somewhere that the one in the Oddfellows hall was actually taken from Bodie before it became a national park and then returned. Could that have been one of the saloon pianos. I think it would be cool if they did a movie that revolved around Bodie during its boom period and it also makes you wonder did the Earps pass through here at some point?
