Wow, spent a lot of time at Garnet as a kid in the 60's-70's, did some small time gold mining in the 80's. Garnet was nothing like it is now. They have done a beautiful job of restoring and maintaining it! Now that I am back in Montana, can't wait to visit this summer. By the way, dogs have keen sense to spirits! Ghost Town of Garnet! Love the video. Hope you made it to THE best Ghost Town in Montana, Bannack!

Yes, I had the chance to visit Bannack in 2008, long before I ever thought about KZfaq as a platform. It's on our list to revisit as Emily hasn't been there yet.

Went to ghost towns in Montana back in 2004 or so and believe Garnet was one of them. We went up a road like you were leaving on and kept thinking I hope we don't meet anyone, because one of us will have to back up to one of the few wider spots in the road.

Visited Garnet with family two weeks ago. We traveled UP the road as you did. Front wheel drive Chev Equinox. We 'did' meet a full sized truck going up. Thankfully, after a few feet of backing up, we were able to pass each other before the really steep switchbacks. Spun the front tires probably a solid 30 feet. My family was pretty shaken. I had only traveled down the road but not up it. I won't repeat it.

@@jenniferraddatz1418 See, I like all the information like you've provided: the type of vehicle you were in, the potential for some hair-raising road experiences, how the "traffic jam" was resolved, so thank you. And then also, the video shows the actual "rougher" road on the way out of the town and you can see by the fairly consistent treeline/curb, that's not a sheer drop-off from the edge of the road down the side of the cliff, with nothing but air between you and Mother Earth waaaay, waaay down there...but, uh, yeah, still pretty crunchy and spicy 🥺🎢🧨🩹⚠️🙁🤔🤠

Really enjoyed your video. Nice footage and narration. So lucky to get to see this town and have your sweet dog along with you. Did anyone mention to bring up they are looking for volunteers to live in Garnet? Saw it online which prompted me to check out all info./videos I could find. I'm pretty sure your dog was picking up on spirits. I'm not into that but I understand that dogs have a keen sense about spirits. Really neat. Thanks for all your effort filming. 👍🐕❤️

One of the only videos I've seen that allows for getting a look at the construction, natural wear and tear, etc...where you can feel, smell, sense the air, aging woodwork, dusty and rusting bed-frames squeaks while wandering around the different houses and buildings. And your voice has some good vibrancy to it so you can pay attention to your audio descriptions. So thank you! 😊

On the 3rd floor ar 6:40 he said there would have been no heat up there. There's a hole in the chimney for a pipe for a wood stove. So they obviously had a wood stove in there when it was used. Maybe not every room in these old places had a wood stove but they had to have something near for heat. It's not like these people back then wouldn't freeze to death in winter

Multiple holes in the outhouse was for what you mentioned. One hole would pile up fairly quickly. More than one hole allowed for spreading your deposits. Outhouses had to be manually cleaned out so more than one hole decreased the number of times someone had to suffer that experience.
