Let’s travel to California.
We can visit Bodie, a ghost town.
Thousands of people once lived here.
They came to look for gold.
The buildings still stand.
Even tables and chairs remain.
But, the town is empty.

Let’s travel to Wyoming.
We can visit Yellowstone Park.
Old Faithful is a famous geyser here.
Every 90 minutes or so, it shoots steam
and water into the air.
Watch out––the water is boiling!
The park has 300 other geysers, too.

Let’s travel back to California.
We can visit Devil’s Golf Course.
Its name is a joke.
It is too bumpy to play golf here!
A lake once covered this place.
It left behind salt and minerals,
making the land bumpy.
