20:25 With so much conjecture and mystery around a town washed away by history, this is a triumphant little moment of forensics! Great stuff, History Hunters. Such a great channel.
Great work as usual. I really enjoy watching the Mayberry Video. I have the complete set and watch it every night. Such a wonderful place to visit and fall a sleep to.
Hello glad to see you made it to Aurora the telling of the town was the Best glad you both found it and all the great photos just like you were in a time machine thank you for the time travel 🏆
Hi. Thanks for watching from New Zealand! We certainly appreciate the support! I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has drawn parallels to me and Patrick Duffy. LOL (Jeff wrote this).
This is the first I saw of your videos. What a great job! The editing and research makes this better than anything I have seen before....I am a new fan!
KEN WALZ Wow, that is a great compliment that you just paid me. It takes a while sometimes to get noticed on TH-cam but we have been growing steadily since November after having been on TH-cam for about three years now. Positive comments like yours really inspire us to go on with this endeavor.
Jeff and Sarah, you are an inspiration! Not only because of your love of history, but I can tell that you love each other. I hope that one day I will have a relationship as wonderful as yours!
you'd have had an easier drive in if you'd gone through Bodie on the California side. in the late 80's, I worked at the Aurora Partnership mine on the other side of the hill from Aurora. I used to hike up into the extinct volcano to the north of the townsite and look for artifacts -- lots of metal stuff from the mining days, but better, tons of projectile points, trade beads, etc. from older times. iirc, Aurora was once the country seat of two counties, Esmeralda in NV and Mono in CA. The survey of the stateline through that area was done to determine which side of the line Aurora lay on.
I've only recently stumbled across your channel, I am so glad I did! I find historical documentaries - which your videos definitely rival - so interesting I love learning about the history of places like Aurora and Bodie! Being a Brit I am unlikely to ever get to see many of the places you go too. It's absolutely fascinating, you do so much research into the actual history of the places you visit too and the camera work & editing is fantastic. Wonderful seeing the old pictures too. Looking forward to seeing more as I work my way through your video's. Keep up the good work guys!
I loved this episode. Who goes out in the middle of nowhere and draws a crowd? You do! I appreciate you stated several times you couldn't take anything. Looking forward to part two.
20:32 This old photo superimposed over modern day was amazing. I kept going back and forth just to try and see where everything was in the vast nothing that is now. I think most amazing was that main road is just gone. If you have no idea, you would not even know that used to be a road, much less an entire city.
Impressed......good presentation by History Hunters.....bcuz so much of the town has been destroyed you really had to work to make the show entertaining....i really enjoyed the photos & how you superimposed pic of the old west over where your standing today... Looking forward to more episodes...thanks
Incredible that you guys made it out there. Absolutely beautiful footage and fascinating history. Mineral County is a special place. Thank you for sharing!
I have just stumbled across your channel and i have to say WOW i really enjoyed this and how you placed all the photos into where they once stood. You have done a fantastic job and i'm a new sub to your channel now. I live in Victoria Australia and to see old history such as this is great. :)
Absolutely awesome video and cinematography! I’ve been to Aurora, Wonder Mine, Rawhide, French Station and many more sites around Nevada. Back in the late 70s. Very interesting history there. I did find gold ore outside Virginia City back then. I took it to an assayer and he told me it definitely was gold ore but the cost of getting it seperated would be more than it was worth. Of course that would all be different today! This video popped up on my homepage and it’s the first time I’ve watched it. Thanks Jeff and Sarah! Love your channel!
I still laugh at the road you guys were on😂😂. The video turned out really cool. I like how you put the old photos in where you were standing. I think Sarah liked it more then she is letting on😁😁 and CHP is always watching... and also, you now have Nevada Pin Striping on the car😁
You really go to some out there locations, but you help shed light on some of the past that has totally been forgotten THANKS great channel like all the history
I went there around 1967 or 68 and talked to a guy that said he first visited in the mid 1940’s and was sad to see how much was destroyed or taken, he remembered the boardwalks still in tac. Thanks for sharing 💥
It's sad and amazing how a town could spring up like that and then disappear. I can't help to think of the trees that were felled and then only used for a few short years. Unless the wood was taken away also. This was very interesting. Thank you.
You guys are awesome. I really liked your blend of photos drones, and just going for it. It is dangerous just being there so Kudos to Sarah for being a super trooper.
Nuts how that’s the actual ghost town. I keep waiting for you guys to arrive, but you’re already there! Neat that all that happened there, now just the ghosts and remnants remain..
, I love watching your videos they are so informative. I lived in Fowler, calif for acouple of years and I traveled over the serrias as often as I could to explore .alas my time was up and I had to return to Georgia. I'll always cherish my visits to Death Valley , Joshua Tree and the Mojave.
It is "amazing", how the Pack Animals did not kick the Miners, in the Nuts and tell the Miners to haul the LUMBER, EQUIPMENT ET CETERA their own damn selves, WILBUR.
I enjoyed the video, story, narration, editing and time you put in to this video. Very well done! You deserve my thumbs up and subscription. thank you.
New subscriber, Just found ur videos today. I really like them, hope i can do this one day with my future wife. Looks like you guys are loving life, good to see :)
Thank goodness a bunch of people got together and saved Bodie. Another xcellent video, rather like being there in person without the nails and smell of sage, but not bad either way.
Wow, brought back memories of me and mom and dad made a road trip back in 78 up to Aurora, Telluride, into Wyoming, checking out old historic places along the way.
Now that's off the beaten path. We went to Bodie last year. Always wear a hat out in the desert. Cool adventure, I feel like taking a drive now. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. It's surprising how little is left there. . from over 100 buildings to almost nothing. great video, and documentation of it. there will be nothing left in 100 years , but maybe this video will still be out there
I lived in NV for 8 years. I explored a lot of the state myself, but two things I never went into the middle of nowhere without, one, my legging snake guards, and two, my GUNS. I wore a .44 mag Taurus Raging Bull on hip in a holster, and my AK-47 on a sling over my shoulder.
@@genekelly8467 Yeah people have been disappearing in areas where there is no real jurisdiction. Four corners area in Arizona is infamous for it, especially the Navajo reservation. In rural Nevada, you never know if cartel activities are hiding around, or the kind of vagabonds like those that live near "slab city" in California
Thanks for the great tour of Aurora...I took a guided tour of Bodie and Aurora a few years back. It was led by Terri Geissinger, who was a ranger in Bodie and knows everything about the area. We took the road from Bodie to Aurora, where a wagon with a family was washed away by a gully flooding somewhere along the route many years ago, killing all the children. We were accompanied by a 96-year old lady, Alice (something) who was a teacher in Bodie and her father was sheriff of Mono County and was killed in the line of duty. Alice brought along her family albums and had amazing pictures of when both towns were still inhabited. I take it you made it to the Aurora cemetery where there is one spot containing the graves of five children who all died within a few days of each other from disease. Keep up the good work and now I'm going to explore Rhyolite with you. Like the others, I love how you superimpose old photos on present day shots.
Aurora was on my Nevada bucket list to visit, my bro and I rode our dual sport motorcycles south from Yerington, and took the dirt roads all the way to Aurora. I'm glad you mentioned upthread that the road was closed, I don't remember the road from the east being quite that unimproved, though it was almost 30 years ago. When I scrolled back through your index to find the second part of Aurora, I saw a great number of videos I want to watch. I love history like you two do. One Nevada hamlet I'd like to recommend is Jarbidge, north of Elko, in Elko County. That was also on my bucket list, and my cousin took us there a few years ago.
Hi Jeff and Sarah. Just dropped onto your series of videos which I think are excellent.This was the first one I have come across and I had to smile to myself by virtue of the difficulty of reaching the place and the fact that Sarah appeared not well pleased (and fed up!) by the long and uncomfortable journey getting there. It was reminiscent of my late wife Hilary, who had to endure similar trips to mining sites both in the States and at home in the UK. I have always been interested in metal mining and its history since my teens - a long time back! - and she was dragged into remote locations when probably there were other places she would have preferred to have been. Often, in the UK, she was left amusing the kids in the car and in the pouring rain, while I went off somewhere underground with my friends.I think your explorations are fascinating, even to graveyards, miles from civilisation. Our last trip saw us at Nevadaville, Colarado, amongst many other places, and there also visiting the cemetery in seach of emigrant Cornish miners of which there were many. There is much of interest in old 'boneyards'! I will now view, and look forward to, the rest of your videos while I am on "lockdown" with coronavirus! Very professionally done with interesting old photos intersperced with the narrative. Great stuff!
Thank you, Richard. I make mention of the Cornish miners in my videos of Milton, Calif., and Sonora, Calif. Welcome to our channel! Sarah actually does enjoy going to these places but our journey was harrowing indeed!
the earth reclaims all. Wonderful video as always. I undwerstand the wife's stress, but this is worth it to keep what history still remains of some areas
Thank you so much! I have tried 5o get there twice…got lost once, almost got washed away by a flash flood. The other time I gave up because it got late . Both times I tried I was coming from Bodie. Thanks so much,
Nice Video! Love Aurora! Been there dozens of times from the Hawthorne side via Lucky Boy Pass. The graveyard is amazing with the most surreal sign. I hope you stopped by Fletchers on the way out/in! Has the best water I have ever tasted filtered down from the volcanic mountains. I always filled my 5 gallon jugs.
20:25 With so much conjecture and mystery around a town washed away by history, this is a triumphant little moment of forensics! Great stuff, History Hunters. Such a great channel.
Great work as usual. I really enjoy watching the Mayberry Video. I have the complete set and watch it every night. Such a wonderful place to visit and fall a sleep to.
Keep up the good work! Any history should never be forgotten
Jeff you and Sarah do an exceptional job of documenting and researching history. Great job!
Thank you very much for the very nice comment and compliment . We really appreciate kind viewers like yourself. Sending our blessings, Jeff and Sarah.
I used to live on the cattle ranch that ran cattle there and Bodie. I lived in a place called Wichman which is an old house that was a post office.
Early '60s my dad worked for the flying m I lived in the wichmanhouse also when I was a child
Wow!! That superimposed shot was really cool. Where you showed the old buildings of the time over the current landscape. Loved that.
I love the way you guys superimposed the old images into the landscape to give it perspective. That was an awesome video!
We like superimposing images too when we can. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a bunch!
For a piece of barren landscape, you managed to correlate a LOT of fascinating information. Thanks.
Hello glad to see you made it to Aurora the telling of the town was the Best glad you both found it and all the great photos just like you were in a time machine thank you for the time travel 🏆
Thanks 👍 it was a fun visit…except for the harrowing ride in! 😂
Watching history hunters from new zealand love it cant get enough of it its great sarah your husband looks like patrick duffy
Hi. Thanks for watching from New Zealand! We certainly appreciate the support! I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has drawn parallels to me and Patrick Duffy. LOL (Jeff wrote this).
Such amazing history. A true gem of a find by you and Sarah. Great video. Stay safe in your travels!!
Thank you! We are very safe out there! We hope you become a subscriber!
History Hunters I certainly have become a new subscriber and look forward to seeing your many adventures.
Ghosts without a town--very sad to see. Wonderful photo match-ups and detailed history. Great job! 🙌🙌🙌
I love your videos. I especially enjoy you guys taking me on a ride to visit a ghost town. I'm a history buff and you guys are great history hunters.
That is awesome! Our pleasure! Glad you like our adventures!
This is the first I saw of your videos. What a great job! The editing and research makes this better than anything I have seen before....I am a new fan!
KEN WALZ Wow, that is a great compliment that you just paid me. It takes a while sometimes to get noticed on TH-cam but we have been growing steadily since November after having been on TH-cam for about three years now. Positive comments like yours really inspire us to go on with this endeavor.
this video that was watching was research pretty good it explains a lot of the stuff that was going on in Aurora I liked it
Jeff and Sarah, you are an inspiration! Not only because of your love of history, but I can tell that you love each other. I hope that one day I will have a relationship as wonderful as yours!
Thank you for your very sweet comments! May for be blessed with a fulfilling relationship!
you'd have had an easier drive in if you'd gone through Bodie on the California side. in the late 80's, I worked at the Aurora Partnership mine on the other side of the hill from Aurora. I used to hike up into the extinct volcano to the north of the townsite and look for artifacts -- lots of metal stuff from the mining days, but better, tons of projectile points, trade beads, etc. from older times. iirc, Aurora was once the country seat of two counties, Esmeralda in NV and Mono in CA. The survey of the stateline through that area was done to determine which side of the line Aurora lay on.
Our family is from Aurora can traced our great grandparents to it
Really? That is so cool ngl!
Loved this video! The old cowboy music scores made it so awesome! Thank you for sharing

This was a GREAT Post...thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was road weary. I enjoyed it but could have used more day light to explore. We ran out of time.
Bean McJean Well you will have to go back huh?😀
@@409rommel at this point I'd rather be on that road to Aurora again than stuck in the house because of the virus.
Bean McJean 😂😂. Hope you both are doing well
I love your channel. I’ve spent all afternoon watching. Keep up the great work you guys!
Awesome to hear! Thanks very much Dianne!
You really go to some out there locations, but you help shed light on some of the past that has totally been forgotten THANKS great channel like all the history
Glad you enjoyed!
I really dig the drone footage, upping your game i see!! Good work.
Thank you! We're trying to find ways to improve. Only been doing this for less than two years!
ME TOO !
Can you dig the scenery...It's breath-taking.The West never looked lovelier.Tony has spoken.
Love the content!!:))Love History Hunters!!:))
I went there around 1967 or 68 and talked to a guy that said he first visited in the mid 1940’s and was sad to see how much was destroyed or taken, he remembered the boardwalks still in tac. Thanks for sharing 💥
What a great vlog! Very well done. Loved hearing the history including the pictures that really brought the town to life. Glad I found your site,

Just love your history adventures, thanks again for another history lesson. 🇦🇺 Australia
excellent! thanks, Jeff and Sarah!
Thanks, friend!
It's sad and amazing how a town could spring up like that and then disappear. I can't help to think of the trees that were felled and then only used for a few short years. Unless the wood was taken away also. This was very interesting. Thank you.
Really like ur videos.
We have seen all ur videos keep up the great work that u do.
Take care.
You guys are awesome. I really liked your blend of photos drones, and just going for it. It is dangerous just being there so Kudos to Sarah for being a super trooper.
Thanks very much Tom! Glad you enjoyed it! We really did sweat out the trip in!
I loved the super imposing photos to your visit.
Glad you like them!
Best vid i seen in ages and very good quality and informative wish i had found you sooner Thankyou

Thank you for taking us with you
You’re very welcome. Thank you for coming along with us on this harrowing journey. Lol
Excellent video. enjoyed it. learned a few things. Thank you.
Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s really too bad that there’s hardly anything left. A whole historic town wiped off the face of the Earth.
I could literally listen to you talk all day about these places . Great episode
That's very nice of you! Thanks!
Nuts how that’s the actual ghost town. I keep waiting for you guys to arrive, but you’re already there! Neat that all that happened there, now just the ghosts and remnants remain..
, I love watching your videos they are so informative. I lived in Fowler, calif for acouple of years and I traveled over the serrias as often as I could to explore .alas my time was up and I had to return to Georgia. I'll always cherish my visits to Death Valley , Joshua Tree and the Mojave.
Outstanding you guys!!! This is pure History!!! Congratulations!! By the way, I'm a Historian!! Again! Greetings from Brazil! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh! I almost forgot!! Mark Twain! An american Icon!!
Awesome! Thank you!
AMAZING HOW THEY GOT LUMBER, EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER BUILDING MATERIAL TO THAT FACILITY .
It is "amazing", how the Pack Animals did not kick the Miners, in the Nuts and tell the Miners to haul the LUMBER, EQUIPMENT ET CETERA their own damn selves, WILBUR.
I enjoyed the video, story, narration, editing and time you put in to this video. Very well done! You deserve my thumbs up and subscription. thank you.
New subscriber, Just found ur videos today. I really like them, hope i can do this one day with my future wife. Looks like you guys are loving life, good to see :)

Thank you so much!
Great video. It's surprising how little is left there. . from over 100 buildings to almost nothing. great video, and documentation of it. there will be nothing left in 100 years , but maybe this video will still be out there

OBTW. Great job. I really like the before and after photos, background music was perfect.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
The county road to Hawthorne is right after you leave the canyon and lucky boy pass takes you to Hawthorne
As always, very interesting thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Enjoying your channel very much...looking forward to more videos
Thank you very much. We appreciate you watching and letting us know that you enjoy our episodes. More to come.

Did you also wear a helmet with a flashing light?

Like I say wow love those old pics of that town it’s fun to get where you did beautiful mountains adventure love it
Great VIDEO!!! Saved us all a trip 😁 glad you were able to include some good Western music to keep us going 😏
Awesome episode, Aurora may be dead for a while, but you brought her back to life !!! Greetings from Belgium

Yes, Alice Dolan! She has passed but we did a video on her dad and saw their graves in Bridgeport! Did you see that video?
@@jbenziggy Yes, Alice Dolan. I'm so glad to have gotten to meet her. I'll look for the video you mentioned, thanks!

the earth reclaims all. Wonderful video as always. I undwerstand the wife's stress, but this is worth it to keep what history still remains of some areas
It wasn't the Earth, it was looters and lowlifes who took every brick and board from Aurora for beer money.
Loved then and current area pictures loved it..
Thanks a bunch! Glad you liked this episode! I loved our visit there! I hope you'll subscribe to our channel!
Thank you so much! I have tried 5o get there twice…got lost once, almost got washed away by a flash flood. The other time I gave up because it got late . Both times I tried I was coming from Bodie. Thanks so much,
New fan here... Yes, binging...Honestly, I don't know why you don't have more subscribers! Artfully done!
Thank you! Glad you liked it! Our channel is growing!

Great job on the video
Felt like i was there too
Ive been to bodie in the past

Awesome! We were in Bodie yesterday! We’ll be doing an episode on it!

Very informative, very entertaining, very professionally done.
Thank you! I can always count on you
Love the overlay’s of old photo to present day scenes.
I try to do them when I can! I know viewers like it!
Thank You and Sarah For ALL YOUR HARD< HARD WORK For THIS!!..AWESOME!! This was the 3rd time watching this...Stay Safe..
Just amazing beauty, rich history
Thanks very much for watching! I enjoyed the trip to Aurora although it was harrowing! Jeff
Very well done !!!!!
Loved the editing!
Thank you!!
