Living in Colorado is great. My wife and I have ridden Rollins Pass at least fifty times and each time it is a wonderful ride. It can be a scary challenge on a motorcycle. We rode dirt bikes half of the times we went up the pass. Each year it changes and the snow run off can change the trail. There have been times when we turned around. Rollins pass from the entrance from Winter Park side is a great trail to ride. Thanks for making the video.

I always think of the people in the cemetery, everyone gone now and long forgotten no one comes to visit long forgotten through the centuries every thing turns to dust....

More than once I've heard farmers say the only time they turned a decent profit was during WW2.

My friends and I took a day trip to Keota in the winter of 2003. We walked around and took photos and peeked into windows. Even then, I had a sense of awe about the place. To think that this was home for those people, and now it was all but gone. When we were there, there was still one home lived in, belonging to Betty Bivens. We didn't bother her, but we noticed that she seemed to keep up the place. Sad to see so many graves of children in the cemetery, and so many dying in 1918. I wish I knew all their stories, but pictures of what's left will have to suffice. I really appreciate your respectful and interesting coverage of the town.

I was in unforgettable Ardmore only once, and that was over 25 years ago. There was no chance to explore it, but how I do hope to return!

One of the only channels I can find doing abandoned colorado, keep it up.

Eastern Colorado is so weird. I love getting lost in it.

It's such a random spot for such a crazy ass river.

Can the site be listed on the National Historic Society's page to preserve what little bit of town is stilleft? Are you preserving the town from further destruction by thieves and vandals? It would be nice to have a price of history left in tact for History Buffs that want to see what this town has to offer.

Great video! Interesting information and i enjoyed your bits of humor thrown in. Oooo that rain!!

I’ve been booking for a washing machine just like that in the school house. They were great then the ringer on top get your clothes really dry.

Did you go to the next town, kit Carson? Not a ghost town but not much there either, maybe 300 people. My parents are 4th generation still living on one part of the ranch out southeast. Grandparents used to have a bunch of land a few miles north of Carson.

Marshall please get ahold of me and I would love to share some memories that I have from there. My great grandparents owned one of the abandoned homes you showed.

Is someone are ready to buy this place and taking care of?

Very cool little ghost town. Thanks for sharing Marshall.

Rewind to the past!

Sotheast of Limon,Colorado on US highway 287.Definately part of the High Plains. Only the hardiest of the pioneers settled and Stayed in this harsh part of the West!!!

I wonder how long this farmstead has been abandoned. It looks like there was probably a main house and then the smaller one was for a farmhand. Or maybe the smaller one was the original and then they built the bigger one eventually. Sometimes I wish the walls could speak and tell us their history. As you mentioned, at one time this was someone's new home, they were likely so proud of it. They'd no doubt be very saddened by what's become of it.

Marshall, thanks again for another cool place to visit with my camera! Can you tell me where off I -70 this is? It's not coming up for me on Google and a search is turning up nothing for a "Lowland" exit. I will be going down 70 in about a month when I travel back home to Pennsylvania and would love to stop and take some pics myself. Thanks again for the video and photos.

Very serene and peaceful. Makes me wanna cry for some odd reason... Well done Marshall.

For those that want to tour the mill it needs to be reserved online ahead of time on South Pass web page.

My son and I went there on the way to the National Military Vehicle Museum in Dubois. They actually have machinery powered up at the Carissa Mill. The gravity mills were built on a hillside and took advantage of gravity to move the ore to the next step of the process.

The cemetery is right across I-25 you can see it from the hiway

I've always thought I-40 didn't kill Route 66. It didn't help, however. What really knocked it off was the road itself. It was obsolete. The road was built along the texture of the earth, with only a few modern engineering features on the way. The Route did help establish several engineering standards, such as the 4-lane concept, shoulders on the road and functional things like business routes or connections with other roads. In New Mexico protesting the opening of I-40 went on for years, slowing down its implementation and running up its cost. To placate the towns being bypassed totally or only marginally (like Tucumcari or Santa Rosa) extra exits were added to allow drivers to exist easily. Some towns, like Grants in western New Mexico, have 4 exits spread out over a few miles where only one was needed. Tucumcari used to have the most motel rooms along the road. But, as I-40 took over most of them folded up or were sold. Same for nearly all highway related businesses. The town has a few survivors like the Swallow and others as well a couple of places to eat like La Cita or Del's. Del's, I think, is the senior place to eat in town. In reality, once you leave Amarillo you will have a hard time finding a good place to eat until you hit Albuquerque. Many people today think the state is, outside of green chili, a gastronomic wasteland. I have eaten at Del's several times over the years and it has remained true to form with good, basic food and fine service.

The South Park Railroad Society is responsible for the restoration of the station , round house , the hotel , re-laying the rails and an engine that they did have running , it is being completely rebuilt so they can have steam up days . I was youngster on a ranch down the Tarryall . Nice to see some of Como being brought back ,

New subscriber. Really enjoying your content and thanks for your efforts, much appreciated.

I have been looking an the map for Owl Colorado and don't see it, how close is to the Michigan Ditch Trail trailhead?

Good job of relating the history

My wife and I were there a month ago. The cemetary had a lot of children. Very sad

most populated ghost I've seen in a while.

Enjoyed

Great video! Oh, those wildflowers are gorgeous!

Every male in my family except for one were career railroaders. My father was an engineer until he retired on the Milwaukee Rd. My grandparents and some uncles lived in a boxcar (I’m not sure how long) when they moved to Montana. I love everything RR. I really enjoyed going to Como after your video. My husband actually volunteered at the Colorado RR museum.

Happy New Years to both of you 🎉🎉. Great pictures and I love the music!

We enjoyed this video. We hope you guys have time to continue to travel and share your destinations with everyone.

Great video! Been doing a bit of desktop research last few years on ghost towns of Colorado. There were literally thousands over a hundred years ago. So many, including Teller City, have never been heard of. And many of those were abandoned by at least 1920. I tend to study topo maps dated before 1940 or so. Just cool stuff. Thanks!😎✌️

I'm not sure why TH-cam suggested your video but for once, they got it right. Our trees go from green to winter in about two days. Fall is on a Thursday. I prefer not to react to pet's though. That shit hurts.

Amen

What a touching memory to your pet. It is also so hard to visit the same place again. I have two locations like this.

What a sweetie pup! He had to have had the best life. RIP puppy.

BTW the distance is 865 miles, so you are within tolerance. Nice to see Gwyn again.

so, given that Harold had a putting green are you going to be buried on a motorcycle?

Beautiful Cemetery 😃

Yes, please don't give up.

I love older cemeteries. So peaceful to walk around in and read the headstones. It doesn’t matter if they are well cared for or not, they are all interesting. Thanks for this video.

We wait for each new episode and usually watch right away. I lived in Aurora for four and a half years and love to see your Colorado videos.

We very much like all of your videos. We enjoy both you and your wife and we look forward to all of them. You are showing the past that one day will be gone to everyone. Thank you for sharing what a lot of us don't have the opportunity to see in person.

Beautiful place

That was fun! Thanks!

something fascinates me so much about the start of the Colorado river
