Ghost Towns | Lost LA | Season 3, Episode 4 | PBS SoCal

Some California dreams succeeded, creating megalopolis regions in the state’s north and south. Other dreams failed, leaving nothing but ruins. This episode explores three California ghost towns: Bodie, a Mono County gold mining settlement that was preserved in time; Llano Del Rio, a socialist utopian community in the Mojave Desert; and Zzyzx, a former health spa on the way to Las Vegas. 00:00-01:30 Introduction 01:30-03:09 Allure of Ghost Towns 03:09-08:59 Bodie Ghost Town 08:59-15:13 Llano Del Rio Ghost Town 15:13-24:38 Zzyzx Ghost Town 24:38-25:30 California Dream 25:30-25:58 Conclusion 25:58-26:40 Credits Want to learn more?
