I love the outlaw adventures and the history the goes with it. I’ve need to get caught up with your adventures. Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful places!
Thank you Willy! 😎 We need to have a mini bike adventure this season! These places are so cool I can’t help but share them. It’s important to protect them and share the history so they are here for generations to come. We have seen to many places destroyed, vandalized and forgotten 🥲 check out # 166 for anyone that loves their pets. ☮️
I was last in Grafton in the 80's. The opening scene of this video was taken probably overlooking property a friend of mine owned and now lives on about a half mile or a bit more from Grafton. While there in the 80's, we all walked down to Grafton because this wasn't too long after Butch Cassidy so we wanted to see where the film was filmed. It looked absolutely nothing like in this video!!! There were no historical plaques up and the place was just deserted buildings and nothing more. I don't even recall if all the buildings had window panes in them and they certainly weren't all swept up. They weren't layered in dust but did not look like this. Hardly anyone knew Grafton even existed because it is off the beaten path on a dead end road. It was fun to imagine who lived here and what they did and why they lived so far from any other real settlements. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory and I am glad to see that Grafton has been turned into a proper Ghost down and not just left to the elements forgotten in time.
Thanks so much for sharing your personal experiences and memories of Grafton. By sharing your visits to this place, you also add to it's story and history! Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch 😎
Thanks Liz! I really like the history of these locations and try to learn as much about them as I can and share it. I feel that if I am going to make a video about a location or object it does not help the viewer unless there is some history or explanation about the content. I encourage viewers to correct me if I have made an error and to add and share their own experiences. thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
Thank you. My grandfather Claudius Wood was born in the Wood House. My mother was LeOra Wood Koning. I love visiting Grafton, and I appreciate your research and historical accounts of those amazing pioneers! Walle Wood Koning
My grandmother: Margarite Dalton Wood was from Rockville. In the late ‘50’s she guided our family to Grafton. However, gramma did know about the “new” bridge so we all waded across the Virgin to visit where Grampa was born😊
I’m sure you have some great history and stories to share! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. This is a special place and I hope it will remain for future generations to appreciate and learn.
@user-cg5hn9mm1c That’s really cool 😎 thanks for sharing! Maybe you can share some history on the graveyard. I made a video on that also #186 check it out and add any stories or history to the comments section. The more history that is documented the better!
It's really a cool place to visit! I'm. Thankful that people care for it and keep it open for everyone to explore and experience. Thanks for taking the time to comment and watch! ☮
@@reidellis1988 That sounds really cool! We’ll have to check that out and see if we can find it and have another party 😎 thanks for checking it out and taking the time to comment🤙🏻
@ We are legendary! If you are interested and into music check out our playlist named ministry of truth… we’re in our 60’s and still rocking out! We all grew up together and are still best friends 40 years later. Just recorded a four song vinyl.
It’s good that places like this still exist so that future generations can see what it was like. We really enjoy visiting this part of the country every chance we get. Thanks 🙏🏻 for checking it out and commenting 😎

We had parties up above Grafton for decades. There is a Juniper tree up there with frying pans tacked all over it. It's called the pan tree.✌️

@ocotillooutlaws4101 I am 54 and have years of memories in that area. It was a blast in the 90s.
@reidellis1988
I’m 59 and have some mileage also! Can’t remember half the concerts I’ve been to 🤣🤣 but remember good times and great friends. ☮️
@ocotillooutlaws4101 Cheers, my friend. I have seen everything from Steve Miller to the Dead Kennedys. We grew up in cool world.

Life was different then. What beautiful country! My wish has been to live there in Southern Utah, but I don’t think it will ever happen.
