You can make out a dirty chain link fence through the overgrown weeds to the remains of headstones. ##### The grave markers of the ghosts of Bodie.󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/8b733-img_0699.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### Small fenced in plots of the very old, the far too young, and every age in between. I run my fingers over the smooth marble and feel the presence of Death. ##### I find an old wooden cross half hidden in the sagebrush. I feel compelled to pick it up and walk among the graves with it raised before me, like a deranged preacher.󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/7f1cb-img_3436-1.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### Yet I have no sermon, nor a congregation willing to listen.   ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-cemetery-of-a-ghost-town/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20the%20cemetery%20of%20a%20ghost%20town&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fthe-cemetery-of-a-ghost-town%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-cemetery-of-a-ghost-town/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-cemetery-of-a-ghost-town/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-cemetery-of-a-ghost-town/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-cemetery-of-a-ghost-town/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
