It was fun to see your video I started going to Sierra City in about 1960 with my parents. My grandfather had a cabin at the west end of town, As a child, he used to take a train from San Jose to Sacramento, then take a stage coach from Sacramento to the family house in Sierra City. The Sierra City Hotel used to be called the Sierra Buttes Inn and had the only restaurant in town. The old brick building with the steel doors was very dilapidated and was the old Wells Fargo building. At one time the Hayes family owned 13 gold mines in the area, with the one at the lowest elevation being right on Hiway 49 by the little creek the crosses under the highway south of town. The old Hayes family house was just below that elevation. level, going toward the Yuba River.

Very interesting. Did you make the video yourself? If so Im impressed. Regards from Ody Slim

Thank you for giving us a look at the little town of Luning. I have driven by there many times myself, wondering what there was to explore. I like that you are willing to walk around a little "blink & miss" place like that. Safe travels, and thanks again.

Is the restaurant still open?

I’ve lived in Doyle and Herlong (the town right next to Doyle) my whole life. I even lived at the winje’s store at one point and my mom and step dad ( Jeff Winje ) ran the store for Jeff’s dad, Mike, who was the owner. Unfortunately it had to be sold. Even when I was a kid ( I’m only 18 now ) it was amazing. The store was up and running, there was a cafe, there is a community center, and there is still Doyle days which is a little kind of fair with music and dancing, lots of games, plenty of food and things to buy. It’s amazing and there is much more to explore around there.

saw one in 59 north of Seattle ,it walked past me in the woods about 15 yds. away.i was siting under a big fir tree in the needles...

Great stories, I just wish they didn’t make them look like gorillas

I seen one in 2020.

✌🌝✌

Good story. Never a good thing to come upon one of these creatures. Sounds like your guardian angel showed himself to that creature. I hear they are big too. 😊

Love your story it does make one think .As i in 1980 coming back from a hike to a old Mine at the L in the trail I Know what i seen in Washington state 🇺🇸⛏️

Born and raised first six years of my life. In the 80's it was nice. The big house behind the bar was my grandparents house. Burnt down.

Thank you for the tour. ❤

I heard that 1972 was when Silver Springs became a town. I moved here in 1993. Where the Pizza Factory is used to be a donut shop where the Silver Strike is there used to be a casino called Pipers and that was the place to be. Were the Nugget is used to be a smoke shop.

Fun fact. Those streets used to be 2 way

Yes road trip Wednesday.When you pulled in by Lake Tahoe i was wondering if we would see aliens crawling out of the lake or an alien spacecraft flying out based on past weeks adventures any way thank you for the road trip i remember some when i was in the area 🇺🇸😀

Most of nevada use to be all covered in water I found sea shells on throughout the rez lmmfao it all use to be ocean !!!! It's what was before smh

Well now iam watching this 2 weeks after you posted this and there unidentified Drones in the U.S.A. And on the news at this same time what you say maybe very very true 🤔

I love driving over Mt. Rose in the summertime. Galena is a nice area.

I want to live in Winnemucca; it's fantastic.

It's a great drive.

Hello, my name is Jeffrey and I live in Germany. My father died shortly after I was born. I recently found out that he grew up in Quincy, California. His name was Arthur Goodhall. He went to high school there until 1981. Did any of you know him? I would be happy about an answer.

Some info about the place. ** 1. The population is probably nearby farms. ** 2. The owner is in his 90s, as far as I know. ** 3. Based on pictures I found on my first non-recorded trip, the bar looked like it used to be a huge deal. Very busy. ** 4. The little room off of the store was some sort of tiny kitchen. I'm guessing for the workers maybe. Because it used to have a stove, sink, dishes, etc. ** 5. I made a lot of phone calls to places in the area, including government, and made posts to local Facebook pages, trying to find out about the fire. I never did find out what happened. But the building that burned used to be like a duplex for railroad workers. So when they stopped there, they could swap workers. I originally checked the place out because I seen it was for sale many years ago and I was curious. I found out that it was shut down in 1997. Then in 2018 when I started my TH-cam channel, I stopped as we were driving by, so I could record the area. Some of my camera footage was damaged and lost, and all the sound was corrupted. I knew nothing about editing back then, so I couldn't salvage any of the audio. So my first video on the place, just has "music" in the background. I did go back to record again years later and the footage vanished before I could get home to Alturas. I was finally able to get usable footage in 2022. By then, the cabin/apartment by the pumps had burned down. I did get some footage of it, in the first video. Looked like people were using it to dump all their household trash they didn't want. Clothes, paperwork, toys, dishes, some actual trash, etc. P.S. If anybody checks out my two videos or any other videos on my channel, please be kind. I'm learning how to record and edit. Huge step from 7 years ago, when nobody was even allowed to take my picture.

Plenty of hotels lol

Northern Cali girl here Love ur videos! Ty

I live in loyalton now grew up here went to Jr high and high school here

Nice video. I grew up in Hawthorne and several times Dad and I fished the East Walker River. Wish Dad had exploded that area with me.

great adventure. thanks for the ride along. ...happy trails always....

Tour bus, eh? Yup, stamp mill. Wonder where the underground workings were?

Someones nice home until it was trashed, what dreams they had it was probably nice at one time.😊

I just love exploring Nevada Desert in the fall an winter months, to see where people lived an what they did.

i'm 64 yrs. old now but i spent a night in union with my family as a kid around 1971-1972. i slept next to an old brick bldg. that had a plaque inside stating that "samuel clements" (mark twain) had stayed a few nights there. a lot of silver and copper mines in that area. at that time there were still a few houses with folks still livingt there full time but it was already recognized as an official ghost town.

Nice to see a new adventure never know what is on those left and right turns while exploring love your talks along the way 😀

The carcass at 08:40, next to the auger, is a mower frame. The open gear would most likely make it a John Deere #4. A few other manufactures also had an open gear box, so with out stamped numbers hard to say. 10:40 more the same. Nice little stop.

Lots of fun explores in NV.

I passed by there last time the drove through Hwy 50. Wished I stopped to check it out. I’ll check it out next time I fly back in the southwest since I’m planning to retire in Nevada.

Cyanide smells like almond extract or cherries. Hard to describe odors.

The Stamp Mill must have been removed. Hills of slag.

Hello glad to see your back and found a mine way out in the middle of Nevada from what you say the military wants to buy it so then this is privately owned .Still nice seeing things from lond ago 🇺🇸🤔 yes Roaming people be ware out there

Keep the work up man your doing great👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thinking about moving to Silver Springs, this video was highly informative since we're viewing from New York. Thank you! We were out there last year and loved it.

A nice little town. I have been there several times before, and heading back tomorrow. Can't wait to get there!

Ive been going to this town since I was a little girl with my parents and sister. My dad had a friend that owned the Taylor's house. We would go up every summer. When I turned about 42, I left the Bay Area and moved to Plumas County near Graeagle. I never went back. Ive been here 20 years now. My sister has a house between Sierra City and Downieville. I love this area. I hope you went on Gold Lake Rd. and checked out Sand Pond and Sardine Lake and the resort behind it. You have a beautiful view of the Buttes from there.

Next time go down the ally way by the bank and restaurant, there is a patio are to set by the rive. Also go through the bar and onto their pation in back by the river. The river runs behind all those shops. Also by the courthouse there are gallos.

They drain the Lake about every two years or so to make sure the parasites are all gone.

A nice tour. Very quiet there. What day of the week was it?

My grandmother was born in Silver City Nevada in 1894

I’ll never be there myself, but love to see it.

Really enjoying the videos.

Would be interesting to hear some stats on the towns you’re visiting. (Population, average temp., crime, main business, cost of homes). Well done!! You have the perfect voice and cadence (reminds me of the Waltons), just need a better camera.
