I was just there yesterday ( 08/18/2024) and went back there again today. There are only about 8 of the original Barracks left. All wooden buildings. Incredibly beautiful, falling apart, collapsing, and fenced in by aluminum gate. It's scheduled for demo soon because that entire area is all new residential. I wish they would leave those as a relic of our American history

Great video. I was stationed at the Presidio of Monterey from 1997-2001. I would venture over to the recently closed Fort Ord and use the PX and commissary which were still open. I would also drive up and down the streets next to the abandoned barracks amazed at the number of them going to waste.

My hero professor Robert Gary Litchford, PhD, Rice U., grew up on the LA River when it was a river. UTC misses you, but you're with Lisa now. We love you.❤

As usual there's lots of claims and zero evidence.

Crazy. I've never heard of this! Very thorough!

Another great mini-doc!! Love these. I hope you gain more subscribers bc you deserve them. ✌💚

Bro..LOVE your vids...you need to post more frequently....Do one on the Denver Airport.

I tried going in but the doors was locked and plus the security guard was next to the place

Saugas??? It's tiny. They did do an episode of Charlies Angles here.

well done

this channel is waaay underrated

Unless you like petting bears and bobcats, the "petting" zoo might not have been your cup of tea.

Nice job. This could be longer. I'd love to know more. When I was a kid in LA, the smaller channels that ran everywhere we called 'the wash'. Anyone else remember that?

Great content! There must be many towns & communities off 66 similar. They did GlenRio dirty!

Interesting story of Glenrio, there are many more towns like it that the interstate system has changed forever.

I'd love to be there right now, great content

I drove from Virginia to Vegas using I-40 mostly last year and drove several sections of 66 as a side trip and remember that town thinking it was so close to the freeway. But I guess since San Jon was right on the freeway there was no reason to get off at Glenrio.

I lived a few blocks from the Cobb Estate and this was the playground of my youth, I hiked to the Echo Mtn and Mt Lowe site the 1st time solo in 1965 when I was eleven years old

As an annual pass holder of Auto Club Speedway to the final races since 2015 Absolute pain

My father raced at Saugus Speedway back in the 80's

Really enjoyed the early footage, lots of racing history there.

My dad told me he lived in Los Angeles, in what is now Inglewood, as a kid, about a mile from the LA river. He said the there was a particularly bad storm one winter where there was 2 feet of water at their house, a mile from the river, and that was when they decided to concrete the river to increase the flow of water through the river, and it has never flooded since. I’m curious why they don’t try to capture more of the river for water supply.

Eine oberflächliche und geirrte Geschichte.

I hiked to Echo Mountain at least thirty times from Jr. High to after I got married, in the 60s to the 80s. From my jr. high math class window at Washington Jr. High, we could see them dynamite the remaining ruins. Very sad as we loved climbing around the old ruins. We hiked up the Echo Mountain Trail and also up the path of the Incline Railroad, a grueling hike. There is a working model of the Echo Mountain Incline RR, at the Train Garden in the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona. Hiked up there with my family, one last time, in the 90s. I worked with an old man who was a bootlegger during prohibition and he used to run whiskey and liquor up to the Echo Mountain Hotel, in his car.

They aren’t cannibals, cannibalism is eating one’s own species, red haired giants are not “human”, therefore them eating humans is not cannibalism. It’s a predator/prey dynamic

When I was younger and fitter we'd take the toll road up on our mountain bikes and come back down El Prieto trail. I've eaten a snack at the ruins after the climb.

Great video - keep making them and include more SoCal venues such as Riverside International Raceway, Ascot, Ontario Motor Speedway, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, Dodger Stadium, Pomona Fairgrounds, etc. Sadly, now you can even include California Speedway....

Crazy that's what's left of a town of 700+. I think in the west, water "rights", restrictions & regulations will be the new normal

Interesting story of Metropolis.

Ever notice Utopias always fail, just like your video, Llano Del Rio.

Very nicely done. Built in stages starting in 1891. From AAA: Ye Alpine Tavern opened 1895. Compound bought from Lowe by Huntington 1902. Mount Low Tavern burned in 1936.

I've lived in the area for 6 years documenting all the old military buildings before they all eventually disappear. it's really interesting learning the history from abandoned structures. Development is happening constantly so they won't be around in a couple years

Wild!

If Ft. Ord was one of the Army's premier training bases, why wasn't it updated? It already looked like a product of the 40s, 50s in the 70s and 80s.

Also whiteman speedway which is now whiteman airport

6’6” isn’t really really tall but back then were the people shorter in stature ?

Interesting report. Amazing how things have changed in 100 years, I can’t imagine what the next hundred will bring.

Why … are … you … talking …. So …. Slowwwwwwww

Crazy. I never knew about those arrows! I work for UPS the qst competition for the post office. We use the hub & spoke system and have next day air! No DC-3s still tho

Very interesting! Good report.

So $25,000 in todays monry is about $711,500

No mention of the savage new cultures moving in to clear the forest cover and replacing it with industrial agriculture!

What Giants fitting that little bitty a** cave

Their furniture was still there I saw it

Wrong. The lovelock cave is where they found duck hunting decoys and gear perfectly in tact
