Bodie Cemetery Project …

Began with a chance meeting with a dog named ” Tali, ” the Institute of Canine Forensics (ICF), and a walk through the Bodie Cemetery in the summer/fall of 2007.
This project has been in place since 2008. Hundreds of unmarked gravesites have been “discovered,” along with better identification of “Boot Hill,” the first cemetery site in Bodie, and the location of a previously unknown Bodie Cemetery.
We hope to continue this great partnership and “Bring Back the Dogs” during 2013.
Our Goal:
With the uncertainty of state budgets, we are looking to ICF and donations for help. ICF to do the search and donations to continue the search. Since 2008 the Bodie Foundation through private contributions has assisted State Parks with over $8,000.00 in the location of unmarked sites.

Looking Forward to 2013

Bodie Railroad Office restoration is in the works.  One of our goals this year is to raise funds for this worthwhile stabilization project.  The railroad office was the terminus for the the railroad that chugged up the steep and windy assent from Mono Lake, transporting lumber and firewood to the mining camp.
