It's not something I'd want to do with a friend. :)<br /><br />Judy,<br />The two holes were not there so you could have company. <br />It is much easier to dig the pit wide enough for two holes rather than just one. When you are down in the pit with a pick and shovel of a one hole it is cramped. Also, with the two holes it takes twice as long to fill up so you aren't digging another pit as often.Edhttp://edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671516400482781757.post-17760571530316979752011-08-30T07:12:31.228-07:002011-08-30T07:12:31.228-07:00Another great blog of interesting pics from Bodie....Another great blog of interesting pics from Bodie.

Great pictures and a nice insight and views about the place. Looking forward to more ghost town blogs.<br /><br />It isn't common to find a ghost town east of the Mississippi River due to many factors. Quick decay of wooden building due to moisture being one of them. Out west where it is drier helps preserve these old places.Clark Ramblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713435758075556066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671516400482781757.post-64230147081038316662011-08-29T08:10:50.190-07:002011-08-29T08:10:50.190-07:00I often ponder, 'If only those old houses and ...I often ponder, 'If only those old houses and machines could talk'.
