I have traveled up and down the 395 100's of times for 50 years and only discovered this place about a year ago. Thank you for the history lesson

Please start uploading your videos in higher quality! They are fantastic to watch, and would benefit from it.

Thanks for another great video! I love your work.

I love your antique photos addition. Very classy.

Thanks for the video. At 13 minutes the sign on the wall probably refers to Humboldt State University Geology that would run summer field camps out of this area.

stellar job of research and narrative on the video…

Thank You buddie for your XLNT research and videos .....🎸🎸

Great video! I knew this town in the early 1980's. Looks about the same today . . . Not much happens these days in Keeler!

You keep saying DWP “diverted” Owens Lake water. Mulholland STOLE it.

As always, good job! Love the R+D you put into the history.

The two main causes of so many California desert ghost towns - the boom-and-bust cycle of mining where when the mine closes the town's economy isn't diversifed enough to sustain it, and Los Angeles' insatiable thirst - which is also the reason why it has so many suburban communities within city limits to where the San Fernando Valley has been called "the New Jersey of LA" but for the most part it *IS* LA.

Thanks for putting in the time to research these places and to share your terrific pictures, information and thoughts. My Great Grandparents came to the Owens Valley by train in 1898 and switched to the narrow gauge rail at Keeler on their way to teach school in Bishop. It is great to learn about that place!

Was in that area several years ago. Very cool to have the info and to see it again. Thank you for an awesome video.

Absolutely love your videos, so very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to find out the history.

As others have said, Thank you. Been there a few times but didn't know all the history involved.

Thanks for the fascinating video. Did you go through Pahrump and Death Valley to get there?

Good job you did your homework on this one, thank you. Looks like the only real value of the valley was its water. It is a shame the history is disappearing. The boom- and bust times did not allow people to build community. No one was born lived and died in these towns and repeated generations of community. Today only memories of folks passing through to the next boom. stay safe ALL

I've been up and down the 395 and eastern Sierra's more times than I care to count but never this side of the Owen's Lake..great vid!

Very good video thank you for making

I have recently found your channel, and find it very interesting and educational. I drive through California deserts often, and wonder about these small places on maps, and now have a better knowledge of their history, condition, and impact on the economy.

Great video, lots of good info. Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating. Thank you!

Great video,thanks

I enjoy the content, keep it up.

Did you see any signs of the Salt Tram? Keeler must have handled the salt blocks coming over from Saline Valley. The outside of the motor house for the Salt Tram has been restored. 4X4 required or a motorcycle to get there.

luv history videos an storyies like this thanks for sharing

Very interesting love your videos 😅😅😅

nice job

Where do i sign up to live here. Its perfect.

Thank you for the video! I believe that our history has been edited over the years, including some of the vintage photographs, unfortunately. Like the photo of the man infront of the schoolhouse @ 14:27. You see his shadow, so the sun is behind him, how is the shadow of his legs is there, but not the shadow of the fence and wooden posts directly behind him? And his back is reflecting off of the front window? To me that doesn't look natural, but I am not saying that YOU doctored the photo, you just found it on the internet, I'm sure..... Thank you again 😘

Imagine if the USA diverted the billions of $dollars$ we farm off to foreign countries to fund useless wars [like Ukraine] and instead invested in the refurbishment of these beautiful, abandoned areas?
