FAIRFIELD When Dennis Ariza visited Bodie Historic State Park for the first time about a decade ago, what he saw was surreal.
“It’s an amazing place,” he said. “The first time I went through, I thought the people had been abducted by aliens.”
There were plates of unfinished food, a general store with items in stock, even unfinished homework – and no human inhabitants.
Ariza, president of the Fairfield-Suisun Visual Arts Association, is the featured artist at the Solano Town Center Gallery. The topic: “The Abandoned Gold Rush Town that is Frozen in Time.”
