Winters Grip Buried Custer Ghost Town

- There are many fascinating places with a lot of history and artefacts leftover from the pioneers. Sometimes these places are well documented and visited; other times, you may never know they exist.
During the mining booms of the late 1800s, towns and camps sprang up all over the west. Some lasted, some didn’t, but life was tough, as with all mining towns. Weather played a huge factor in the town of Custer; a lot of the residents passed from avalanches.

What a marvelous place Custer is. I love the way it is so wide-open, and available to the public. Thank you to the custodians who preserve the memories and remaining structures and artifacts of this town. *I love all of your videos, Andrea and Steven, but I think this one is my absolute favorite.
Ahhh, thanks, Rhonda. Glad you enjoyed it. Matt and Jeanie do a fantastic job looking after the town and preserving its history.
Awesome little town.
Love Custer. Used to work there. Have many friends there.
It is so nice to see a ghost town like Custer so lovingly cared for and preserved. You have thoroughly researched and expertly edited this fantastic video for our enjoyment, so thanks very much for all the love and attention to detail you always put into your work. I eagerly await your next adventure! Bravo!
This might be my favorite ghost town yet. Thank you it's also called a chamber pot. Me an my grandma used to use one when we slept upstairs.
Thank you so very much, glad you enjoyed our explore. We have many more adventures to come.
@@chrisblack8390 Chamber pot, that's it. Couldn't think of it at the time. Thanks
Thank you for the great presentation. We really appreciated all your work. We also enjoyed your visit to Custer. Thanks again hope to your travels have been exciting! Matt and Jeannie with the Land of the Yankee Fork Historical Association
We had so much fun with you guys and do hope to make it back up to that area for some more explores!
Another great video.thanks guys.
What a neat place. Well done.
Andrea And Steve,
That is the most well preserved site I've seen so far.
Some people really care about our past!
More likely 20 and 30 foot avalanches
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like to have an avalanche that huge coming towards you or your house! pretty scary!!!
Another excellent exploration. I love your fun fact true stories Andrea! It's wonderful that you support the local folks and congrats on finding huckleberry soda! I enjoy the great camera work and detail plus adding the old photos for reference. Enjoy the journey!
Huckleberry soda was yum. Thank you for the compliments and your continuous support. Glad you are enjoying our adventures
Thanks for taking all us couch potatoes along on your adventures.
You’re very welcome. Glad you came along
Well done. Really in joyed this one. You guys are the best! 🤠🌲🎼
Another awesome adventure thanks
What, no coffee?
@@PinInTheAtlas oh yeah allways lol love ya
Paused the video, did a search on mining stamps, learned about them and then pushed play again.
Tell Matt not to miss the horse shoes in the black smith's shop, I noticed those are running out of luck also. At 14:17 hanging on the pegs on the left of screen.
We did mention it to him. Apparently in the old days they did hang them upside down, over a hook. Not sure where the "good luck" came from.
Back in the day, such as the 1800s canvas was used as ceiling material because they did not have another means of finishing the ceiling or because it was less expensive than plaster. The video you did that included the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone had a canvas ceiling cover that had a mural painted on it. It used to hang on the wall as you go down stairs, but it was missing when you were photographing.
It is always so cool for us when we can find large remnants of the canvas left. Thinking about the hands that hung it up and lived in those places.
Great place.
Outstanding video. I'm going to start exploring Idaho next year. Custer is on the list. I was able to recognize all of the mining tools in that little shed on the back of the little cabin. Thanks for the great tour.
You will love Idaho, the scenery and the people. Visit Wallace, too. One of our favourite places.
Excellent presentation efforts 👌 I like how they reinforced some of the structures leaving the original wall coverings in view.
This town was amazing. A must "pin in the atlas"
Nice they let you shoot a blackpowder pistol!! The Challis National Forest took ownership of the area in 1966, and in 1981, Custer was placed on the National Register
We had a lot of fun there. And Matt and Jeanie were great.
What a beautiful area, I think I'd buy some of everything in the gift shop. FB'd to my daughter in ID. Thanks again for a great ride.
There was a lot of interesting (and tasty) things in that store. The soda and candy sticks were delish!
Such a lovely town.I could live there.Im old but when I was little girl my aunt cooked on her wood stove all winter and used her modern gas stove in the summer.If you ever get the chance to cook on one you would not believe how much better food taste and bread is wonderful..Singer sewing machines were about in every home,in the UK and United States I still sew on my mother-in-law's .They are wonderful.love your videos.👍❤️👩🦳
My mum had an old singer. It was great. Would love to be able to cook fresh bread. Thanks Gayle. Glad you are joining us on our travels
Amazing explore! Site is so we’ll maintained. Cabins are awesome. Cemeteries always draw me like a magnet ….sad stories. Great to see the revolver discharge a round 💥 nice to see Tonto chillin in tha background. Don’t forget to give the backstory on Harvey sometime. love tagging along for these explore guys 🤙🏽🙌🏽
Thank you, Bernardo. Glad you enjoyed it. Steve did like being able to try his hand at shooting. And we will add the story of Harvey to one of our vids. Maybe in the Journey series. See you on our next adventure.
Idaho is one of the states I haven't been to. Thanks for taking me, Gramma Candy
Glad you’re enjoying Idaho. We have several videos of the state. The scenery is spectacular and the people are wonderful too
National Cash Register
Used to be made in Dayton,OH.
I remember NCR signs all over.
Good prices at the store.
Should have toured the huge dredge just outside of custer and bonanza. That thing is amazing.

Yee-Haa!!! What a place, what views, way up there on the south fork of the Yankee. Thanks for the tag on the assayers. Back when we were highly respected. Lot different now. Great video. Looked like some gooood sody pop! Y'all stay cool.
That soda was yummy. The sarsaparilla is another story. Yuck! Although Steve loves it. To me it tastes like medicine.
@@PinInTheAtlas In my past i would have gone for the beer without the root.
Lol
What a nice history lesson and a nice view compared to the desert, without the snow or snow slides. Keep up the good work and history lessons for us.
Thanks, Paul. We have plenty more coming.
Steven and Andrea are sometimes not accurate, but they do provide something that piques our interest and we can follow up with our own research. I find myself pausing their videos and going into google, google maps, and google images, and often spend more researching what they present than the length of the video. I do appreciate their work because it gets my wonderous mind wondering.
I hope I didn't sound like karamela harris's "word salad."
When ya’ll were exploring the town of Cerbat, inside one of the bigger buildings there was a bathroom & shower with some brown nests on the walls. You called them wasp nests; but here in Texas we refer to them as Dirt Daubers. They make a nest out of dirt and mud instead of cellulose or something similar as the wasps do. The wasp’s nest feels like paper. Keep up the great videos!!
Thanks for that. I’ve never heard of those. Do they sting?
In my personal experience with the Dirt Daubers, I’ve never been stung. Some people say they sting but I’ve never seen them get aggressive at all. I don’t know if you have seen any of them flying around, but the Texas variety has a yellow stripe with a black and/or a dark blue body with a stinger on their abdomen. When building the nest, they will be carrying a wad of mud in their mouth and/or mandibles. Some make a smooth walled nest and some make tiny layers side by side like a wood shingled roof on a house. The latter seems to be a rarer variety. I’ve been around for 74 years, I can’t travel and have the adventures that ya’ll do; but I really enjoy living through your travels. Thank you for putting out these wonderful videos! I also follow several more explorers. Keep up the great work!!
Can’t say we’ve seen them. But always careful with things that are stripped especially black and yellow.!
The sewing machine is a treadle type
The Cadbury chocolate tin at 8.12 -- we have one in our kitchen .......... ! Dont think they are very old.
Not sure how old it is. Cadbury's chocolate biscuits are one of my favourites.
You must have had a glorious day there with nice weather! And got to shoot an old revolver to boot :-)
We camped just along the road by a stream, which was great too.
Thanks for the travels. Because of you ; I get to see our Great Nation.
The first home my parents own was a converted I room schoolhouse. In the upper part of Western New York. The house on the property does still exist today this day. By the way property had 2 4 stall outhouses. On each end of the property. One for the boys and one for the girls. The family that lived next door. The wife was the former school teacher. They were a very nice people. There was a old coal shed . I try to convince my parents it was big enough for a horse . They never brought it.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a great place. Must have been amazing to grow up in a property like that.
@@PinInTheAtlas It was. All I have are fond memories. That's why I get annoyed. When I stay ; I found New York original. Because the first thing people will say is: Oh you from New York City. There is a lot of beautiful country in New York. Only thing bad was storms whether rain or snow off the Great Lakes.
@@waynebender8835 We loved touring upstate New York. (before our TH-cam days, so no vids). There is a lot of beautiful country up there and lots to explore.
@@PinInTheAtlas This was mid 1960's. Down the road from were I lived was a old creepy cemetery.
A former mansion nick name the castle. That was turned into a restaurant.
On a road heading to Lockport NY. There was remains of a very tall structure. I have to admit everytime into Lockport. It gave a creepy feeling too! You couldn't travel the city of Lockport with going over the canal. But; that was about 60 years ago and things do change.
Would be neat to go there and see what’s left
George A Custer got the point.
Steven I think you were thinking of a chamber pot😁
Yes, that's it! A chamber pot!
I love Sasarilla, I always have. But I also like horehound candy 🍬. I loved getting candy sticks at the old Longs Drugs here in Fresno. They were taken over by CVS, but I won't shop there, or in Walgreens or Riteaide either. I miss Payless and Thrifty Drugs too.
The candy sticks were delish, Diane. It's such a shame when these big conglomerates take over the small ma and pa shops. We do our best to support local - it's more fun, and the people you meet usually have incredible stories.
horse shoes collect and share luck, you have to rotate them from time to time :)
Wow, we didn't know you have to rotate them. Interesting.
Thanks for taking out my hearing turn down your Mike when shooting gun . Ouch!
Sorry Sherrita. Hope your eardrums aren’t hurting too much!
Tonto national forest...
Andria, All these towns you have visited & you STILL havent found a decent " chippy " !
In England, the term "Chippy" is a carpenter. Since Steve is a carpenter, I think I've found a decent one! LOL.
Or do you mean a chippy with fish?
Sasquatch at *0:37**.* Upper left side between the two left most buildings! I thought that about Stella too! *1:08*
Curious why they called it *Custer* - perhaps after his famous *golden* locks? I was thinking *Golden Avalanche* might be the town name!
That school house was so beautiful. The window trim was very fancy! The transom over the front door! The artifacts were amazing. A one person misery whip with coarse front teeth to get the cut going. I’ve never seen a one person whip like that. A great design! We’ll have to research the stove manufacturer. Those would stay warm for hours.
Can anyone read the name of the Cash Register brand at 20:30 ?
The vehicle at 13:12 is really interesting. It looks like a six cylinder tug of some sort, custom made to run the rails (presumably ore cart rails). I wish they would protect that from the weather.
Whoever is overseeing that property is doing an outstanding job. Level wood floors, newer windows, buildings in all their glory from yesteryear.
*Tonto is on the Atlas! Tonto National Forest in Arizona!*
It a National cash register
Matt and Jeanie are doing a wonderful job of overseeing the town. They are fun, full of knowledge and enthusiastic for the town and keeping the history alive. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@PinInTheAtlas The site is Part of the Land of the Yankee Fork State Park, and Maintained and managed through the Idaho Dept. Of Parks and Recreation! They do a very good job!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
