Toya Tee does your mom know why is it a ghost town now?

There IS running water, Toya...those cottonwoods wouldn't be there if it was dry. I was there 10 years ago and the saloon was so busy, we decided NOT to go in, after we filled our water bottles and radiator with water from the gas station. They had water, but NO air compressor for the 2 flats I got at Berlin State Park.

Monte, they did NOT have running water when my Mom grew up there. Her and my uncle used to have to go get it from the spring at the end of town.

Just an old mining town. It was small when she lived there.

Toya Reminds me of the time my family lived in souther Mexico. It was a very simple life, but it had its charm.

Right ‼️ where is everyone and why would it be completely deserted ❓ the is still money to be made with scrap alone…why is it deserted ❓ this confuses me soooo much ‼️‼️‼️

+Jonathan Honaker Thanks for the comment Johnathan. It was a bummer to find the Ore House Saloon closed down. I was hoping to get some video inside. We stopped by there about 10 years ago and it was a nice little place. It gets old seeing every cool place destroyed by mindless vandals. Thankfully this place has a few residents who take care of it and keep the vandals in check.

I'm in! Maybe I can get a greencard for this :)

If it is possible I would like to move to a place like that, Im sure I could be of use when I master a number of crafts ,, Ths just have to whait until I retier ,, And maybe could get a green card ,, Gretings from Sweden

@@johnsvensson9294 Man, I'm from Canada, but I would love to live there too. It looks like a great place to have a homestead with gardens, maybe livestock, solar power, water collection and filtration systems. It would be a dream place to practice wood craft and forging arts.

Victoria Charlesworth Most of the abandoned places are in Western America due to the whole gold rush unfortunately. I'd love to do some exploring but most everything in New England is still inhabited.

It's called control. put as many people that you can in one space crime goes up because man was never meant to live on top of one and another. .People go nuts because of less space of dwelling.

It takes a day to drive across Texas

100% 🤣🤣

or in a fema camp nearby

+George Grundeman nice!

Maybe they got sucked up in a sink hole

or maybe their all ghost o.o

They're*

Mba waria?😂

@@lsg2432 dei

+zalmaflash Yeah, it's really off the beaten path and luckily a few residents seem to be around, just not sure where they were!

LOL, So true!

+SmoothRide Scooter OK Corral is in Arizona.

huh?

No pets?

Down at the big tungsten mine in ????, about 10 miles away.

Thank you, I am glad you liked the video.

Thanks, I have been to this town so many times over the years, and I agree, someone is definitely maintaining the town. I have been in the bar when it was opened many years ago, and I was hoping to get another look inside, but unfortunately I couldn't find anyone to let me in.

any info ????

you never finished your story :(

this is the story you did not finish

@@catwoman2967 Hey, there's a reason why I am reluctant to say in public. I love my adopted gkids too much. For many yrs I use to wonder why God didn't take me, even when I put a 45 to my head. Took many years, but now I know why. Each one of my gkids were abused n raised like animals, eating off the floor with hands n stealing food for their younger siblings. Its taken yrs to get them where they're at today. They needed a gpa n family who loves them more than anything n today they're healing. My twins n other 2 little girls know Jesus n that's the best xmas I've ever received. Long story, but I shouldn't be here alive. I will love my gkids everyday Jesus allows me to. I realize that hasn't answered your question Cat. It's late n I gotta get for now. Who told you though? I'll go to sleep tonight wondering. God Bless, Ty

@@tyclark8162 if you are on facebook lemme know how to find you and i will send friend request

Do you have a facebook page? If so can you send me a friend request? Tonla Forks

Every place they go is a good place to metal detect. old miners tobacco cans etc tools coins gold damn why not go!

Maybe antique guns, too.

Thank you, I hate vandalism and graffiti too!

o-yes..most defintely camp out there.....FOOL

Same here, I will go back and see if I can get inside.

Thank you, me too, been exploring abandoned places for a long time and can never get enough. :-)

Thanks, I love visiting this place. Not many people pass through this area, nothing in the area to really attract people to drive the mostly dirt road.

Yeah I looked it up and it's pretty fast away from anything really. But if I every go on a trip up that way I would definitely try and fit this in with it. Keep up the videos and I can wait till my daughter is old enough to adventure with her old man. I can't wait for the memories

Yeah, the kids love these places and the adventure. You never know what you might find or see on the way too. It's always a great time.

+539 Productions These are the types of places I hope to find when out exploring. Unfortunately, they are far and few between. There was the massive city of Aurora Nevada that had an entire abandoned city in the 1940's, but it was completely looted and destroyed by the 1950's.

I hate vandals and looters. Why do they do it? It can't be that exciting to destroy things that might be interesting to others. If they have to destroy something to make themselves feel better, they should start at home!

But why do people desert an entire town and no one ever comes to town and rebuild…with all of the millions of people in our country, NO ONE ever went to rebuild ❓ I’m so confused 🤯

Thank you for the support. :-)

Ty Clark Wait. You lived in this town?????

When did you leave Ty? My Grandma used to run the Ore House.

Toya Tee Hi Toya, how I ended up here again is strange in itself. No I didn't ever live there in Lone, but shod a few horses n a miners mules got trims n front rim shoes. He was a real critter as was I back then. Hard to think it's been 45 yrs since I ended up there. Wasn't really going anywhere then, lived with my dog n had gas n coal forges on back end with cab over camper. My ole 69 Chevy step side 3/4 ton had 200 lbs of coal with rebar holding them there thru my travels. All my farrier tools stacked up inside n had 500lbs of cold shoes with straight stock for handmade ones. I drifted for many yrs just enjoyed meeting the real Americans n those whom had their lands stolen from them. As that's our history it seems, govt n greedy bankers fkin whom ever they can but their day will one day come. Why did I drift around? Long story n having spent 4 yrs in Latin America with IDF Paradog, strange Israel had interests there huh? Allot of population down there have Germans, Polish, NZ, ect n no I am not Jewish. Thinking we could solve the worlds problems n helped train govt forces who had contact with the Farc rebels n the drug n kidnapping enterprises of South America. After 4 yrs n loosing my closest friends/brothers n my IDF fiancé all with 6 mos n living in the jungles n hill country for lengthy periods. I saw my share of drugs n pallets n barrels of numerous currency's mainly USDs loaded onto C17 n 130s. I figured out who the real criminals were n why most congressional n senate ect are all multi millionaires back in the states. Guess I wanted to get that off my chest tonight. I have 6 heart stents n 2 in the widow maker that keep plugging up. I know my days are few. We trained them poor souls at Ft. Benning when the SOAs were still training Asassins by night n soldiers by day. When things got outta hand due to the training of the Latin military to fight n infiltrate the Farc n drop corridors n jungle brown water subs. They had them longgg before the DEA set up shop down there. That was fun, I liked blowing sh** up n you could hear the drug mules moan n cry. When they put million dollars bounty out, you know you're making big waves. Yet the corruption in govt n military in every country is unbelievable as is the US as well. Anyhow, I best get to bed. Just a story of a ole man n his dog. Married once for 25 yrs n cost me 600k n her half of the temper pedic bed. Never saw it coming,,, Toya, my apologies for getting off track some with main story. I did meet some locals there, I recall your gmas place too. I always wanted to go back there again, as it was so peaceful there at least by the day. Had a Indian gal claim I had the eyes of the great sky people, not sure why she said that? There's a few mines out in the hill country, n had miner invite me up at his place. He didn't tell me I had to drive thru rocks n snakes in spots, I hated snakes from my LA days, damn vipers. We ate young bobcat that night n even my dog enjoyed it n the the uncooked bones. I had salt n pepper n cheese so we melted cheese over the cat n it sure was good eatin. I left my shakers for him. He wrote me a few times, I lost track having raised two awesome boys, n working 16 hrs days n played hard boating n snowboarding ect. He just had a small shack n his 3 mules n 2 dogs n 4 wild cats. He claimed he had a few 100k in a Vegas bank, but I don't think he had a dime between his ears n only had a few teeth left. He did tell me alien story out at the fire that night. I ended up helping him add some space n had some old lumber n insulation for his bed. He said he once was married, n lost her to a mine cave in. Don't think he reported that, but I didn't ask either,RIP. He showed me how to keep tatters in a root cellar n had a full case of Jim Bean too. Must had 50 some empty ones nearby, someday he'll get them filled again.lol. The alien story was scary n I didn't get the impression he was lying about it either. First time I forced my anvil stand against my camper door inside. I didn't sleep most of the night either. Wow, 45 yrs ago. Wonder how he made out, he said he found a vein of gold where his wife was buried. He showed me some really nice nuggets at the time. I might be the only one knowing where he hid it too. He gave me a large nugget n when I was 45 I had it mounted on a ring. Kinda looks ugly at first, but after you realize it solid gold at 1.5 oz nugget. Just stays in my safe now with my Yarborough, my youngst boy a MD n always looked at those two keepsakes. Not sure if he really knows what his pa did, as I rarely spoke of it. I miss Lone n the folks n ole critter. Best Wishes Ty

@@tyclark8162 Thank you for your story. I hope if you did go that you left a book behind. You must have ice blue eyes. It doesn't matter how young or old you are when you have those, they stay blue as the sky until the day you die. I was born with blue eyes but now they are green.

@@catwoman2967 Hi Cat Woman, I forgot about leaving my comments 2yrs ago. But you are mysteriously correct to the fact I do indeed have bright blue eyes. An even have RH Negative blood I have been told. How did you arrive knowing I had blue eyes? All I know is, there's a storm coming upon our earth very soon. I had strange things happen while in Latin America 38 yrs back witnessed by 11 other military guys. If you ever want the story what I am referring too, it might be better off the site here. Not sure how we'd get there from here? Happy to hear from you Kitty. 🤪 Ty

They were all asleep in their coffins.

If you look at 2:27 like you said, take note of surrounding landscape. Then at 4:00 you'll see the same vehicle much closer and at 4:02 it STILL looks like a person in the passengers seat. But keep watching because poof....no person. Weird. It really looks like someone is sitting there!

I can see it's not a cop car,but some service vehicle.Thanks for your input.It does seem strange how there seems like a person then nothing.The seat looks like a bench seat without a headrest,so it's not the headrest.I thought it may have been the toolbox in the back but there was a toolbox on both sides.I have no idea.

Molleez Momm I'm scaaaared 😱

I believe you saw this 4:01 it's the seat don't get too paranoid ...

If you catch the frame when he JUST passes the cab and you see the back glass you will see some orange colored stuff. It's probably a road sign or something, but you can clearly see it. From the front it looks like a person sitting in that seat but it's a rectangular / square sign with the pointy edge on top.

^entering

+Ben's Lab I thought we would run into someone during our visit, but I couldn't find anyone. It was very eerie.

+Explore With Us I would love to do something like this. As a matter of fact, I will.

+Ben's Lab Awesome, I am looking forward to it!

The interesting thing about the town is that it's on Public Land. In addition, Wikipedia says there is a store, but that store closed down a long time ago, so anyone thinking they can get services, any services there is sadly mistaken, and that's not a place to run out of supplies. There may be 4 or 5 residents remaining, but I didn't see a single soul when I was there. It is an interesting place.

That wiki article is outdated. If you look at 1:41, you can see a natural gas tank that looks very modern.

Thank You. :-)

Thank you. :-)

Thank you for the sub. :-)

+rikntraci Thank you, I did see a few "For Sale" signs in the area.

Is there utilities out there?

I think there is electricity, but for fuel it's propane.

Yeah, Wiki is outdated and it's a shame because I would hate for someone to go there thinking there is a grocery store there. There are no services at all.

It felt like it too. :-)

Thank you, I will definitely get back there soon. :-)

how is it linked to area 51

+TMIDiva So true, it's really sad to see. It seems most people have no idea that these places exist all over Nevada. From the comments I get, it seems people think these towns are right next to a big city. They have no idea that it takes about two hours on two lane roads to reach towns like this. The nice thing about Nevada is that many of the abandoned towns are on public land, which allows anyone to explore them. What's really interesting about Ione is that it's also on public land, but there are residents who are living there and refuse to leave. There are some legal issues they are having to work out over the issue. Thank you for commenting. :)

+Explore With Us I've actually lived in a small, isolated town. Two, in fact. The good part, the quiet and the natural wonder, can not always compensate for the poverty and the lack of basic services. When I'd heard of the protest in Burns (a town close to my former location) I recalled the fires we endured. The roads that need service and all of the ranchers who lease fragile land requiring frequent monitoring to prevent overgrazing and the catastrophic damage that entails. There's always this ying/yang thing with the USFS. I'm a rancher's daughter and I can tell you that leases are a needed protection. People who blame their hard times on the Government (and the death of small town living) have an irrational sense of entitlement. These dying places do so because their life cycle has completed.

That's a very good point. I love visiting these old ghost towns myself. Gives you a real feeling of what life must have been like.

Thank you. :-)

Would be perfect for that.

Thank you. :-)

Looks like you beat the vandals, I didn’t see any graffiti. Let’s hope if they do show they get thrown out of town.

Children of the corn*

+Ben's Lab Thank you Ben, are you planning on uploading any explore videos to your channel? :-)

+Explore With Us hi there. I missed this comment somehow. sorry about the very late reply! I am actually considering doing some exploration videos. .There are some old wharves and abandoned dockside areas near where I live. they'd be great places to film.

+FandF Movies Thank you for commenting and watching.

+Veronica Morgan It is a really cool place, with a lot of history too. Yes, we see them all the time, and it's always fun to see them.

+Explore With Us Thank you for replying, maybe you could make a video of them some time. Do you ever take still shots of some of the places that you go to? love all of your videos, that I've seen so far.

+Veronica Morgan I love to talk to others about these places. I also love any feedback. You have no idea how much it means to me to hear the positive feedback. I do take a lot of photos, and I have some drone video of wild horses that I will try to get posted. I have some photos of the Donkey's too. Some of the first videos I posted were very poor quality and I am trying to improve quality with each video. If you watch a few of the earlier ones, you will see the quality isn't quite there. So if you see some that are poor quality, that's why. :) Unfortunately I still have at lot of footage from my earlier videos that I am not sure about posting due to the quality, but I feel it wouldn't finish off the series of one of the ghost towns we visited.

+Explore With Us Always a great excuse for a return trip!

I think that your being to hard on yourself about your earlier videos. I'm more interested in what capturing at the time, rather than the quality. Not everyone in life has to be critical, just enjoy what you see and have fun watching them. So with that said, you should post whatever video you have made.
