Great to see the place was undisturbed and not trashed. Everything in it's place just like it should be.
Hey Steve and Andrea, revisiting a location years later is such a great idea! It's fascinating to see how some places seem frozen in time. I found myself rewinding several times just to spot the differences. It’s reassuring to see that not much has changed. Thats hilarious if those thousand island dressing jars were really used for moon shine. Makes more sense I suppose than some old dusty miners having a addiction to salad dressing! Really enjoyed this!
Thank you. It was one of our first explores so we weren’t very good. No mics and just one phone.
It was interesting to return and great that it’s pretty much remained the same.
Moonshine it is 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great idea, returning 4 years later, and your memories are sharp as tacks as you document the changes. You guys are among the most authentic explorers, you brighten my day!
Ahhh thank you so much Deborah. Really appreciate that. This was one of our first explores before we hit the road full time. One iPhone to film and no mics. I think we’ve come a long way!
More questions than answers. Truly nice to see that much hasn't changed. Just Mother Nature reclaiming her land.
It is nice that we were able to return somewhere and it’s all still standing. Helps being in the middle of nowhere and in a desert climate.
What an experience. Returning 4 years later. Four years? Hard to believe that it's been that long. At least I can look back and still remember all these and more of two of the best content creators around. Bet Joe couldn't. Thanks hope we can squeeze another 5 or 6 out of y'all. 😊
Yep. It was before we left to go full time. With just one phone and no mics. Glad it hasn’t changed much. And yes 4, 5 6 or more. Hopefully
Love them all . The ghost town/ stage stop/ mine/ farm with Rock buildings and animal sheds& stalls& corral was cool too.
Good judgement call on not messing with those jugs! Just no telling what's in them. Otherwise, great explore! It's interesting to see how much people put a lot of effort into living their dreams, including the two of you! Thank you!
Ahhh thanks Kerry.
Yep better safe than sorry!
Love all your videos ,really enjoy the revisits .❤️👍🙏🇺🇸
Thank you Gayle.
I love all of your videos, but this one is one of my absolute favorites. That's wonderful that you can compare what is there in 2024, to what you saw back in 2020. Excellent presentation, Andrea and Steven... and, yes, it's great that it's still just about the same, as it was back then.
🏡🙏🏻👏🏻🌞☀️👏🏻
We cringe somewhat at the original video. I think it was the third one we ever filmed 🥹 I think we’ve improved somewhat but still lots to do.
This brought back memories when I was young living in so cal.
My best friend and I used to go out exploring.
We found an old barn from way back in the day. It had kind of been abandoned or not used.
Cool thing I found Some old papers from the san diego tribune. And the dates were very close to the day I was born. I will never forget that place kinda wish I'd save the newspapers but... I didn't.
I love exploring, and you guys do it well. You guys are truly documentarians. Thanks for the memories😎✌️
Thank you Tim. Appreciate the comment. Hope you continue to enjoy our content. We post every Tuesday.
Even with the addition of time ,, it still feels like it did back then . 😊 Thank you both for going back in time again and sharing any new changes in 4 yrs. It never hurts to reminisce because you may have overlooked something the first visit 😊. I’d be looking for snakes first😊
Funnily enough we didn’t see those dates and writing on the wall in the little cabin last time we were here!
@@PinInTheAtlas that’s what I was referring too. Items like that
Luckily there are still places beyond the range of them spray-painters :-)
Hopefully this place will stay that way
Another video awesome ❤
I remember that one another Awesome adventure with my pin and water today
It was one of our first. We hadn’t hit the road yet. One phone and no mics!
love how you guys revisted what you saw years ago and the difference I like how you did the before and after to see the changes another good one
Thanks. It was one of our first explores before we hit the road. Glad you enjoyed it
Hello nice to see a minning camp with all the interesting equipment and living areas .Going in the mine finding all the salad jugs has to be stored water .Some one said the jugs and the tank near by is Moon shine no that looks like a galvanized tank that would most likely kill anyone .ps. went back and found the the 1 st visit and found some differences and good comments thank you for both explores 🇺🇸⛏️love it .p.s. Safe travels p.s. Lots of subject matter for taking unique pictures ❤️
Hi Case. Interesting place and nice to see that it’s still intact. I think the moonshine thing was more of a joke really 🤔. Still, I wouldn’t want to open them.
We forgot to thank you for the gallon of thousand island dressing you left here last summer. We're still working on it, it's delicious! Cheers😁
Nothing but the best for our friends. Glad you are enjoying the flavour. Goes with pretty much everything!
Guess I missed you guys in 2020. Can't believe I've been watching since 2021 when I saw another YTer introduce Pin in the Atlas! So glad I discovered your channel and follow your adventures. Today was another Lunch and Learn for my wife and me. This look-back (revisit) proved quite interesting and informative. I'm impressed with your memories of various features -- green bottle line, pop bottle caps along ore car rails, 1,000 Island Dressing Jar, Pack Rat Nest, etc. Thanks again for sharing and taking us along. Bon Voyage!
It was one of our first explores, so we thought wed go back to see what's changed. Fortunately, not much. Glad you enjoyed it, and you didn't miss much with the early videos LOL
Cool Video
Thanks Bill
Interesting stuff left behind. Too bad you didn't check a few of those jugs to see what was in them.
Hmmmm. Didn’t fancy that. Don’t know what could have been in them. Many moonshine. Or pee!
It would be a good site for a volunteer cabin. Do you camp out at sites like this or go back towards main roads ? For safety? Privacy?
We actually camped out by the little cabin. We arrived too late to film so checked everything out before hand for safety reasons. Camped the night and filmed the next day.
Nice to see that it didn't change much. Happy 😀 that there wasn't and hooligans messing it up with graffiti. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. Stay safe in your traveling adventures. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Thank you Rose
Nice to see it mostly unchanged.
Nice visit. Sometimes when Urban Explorer's revisit a place the atmosphere has changed and not for the better..
Fortunately this one was pretty good. Thanks Wayne
Interesting reexplore! 🙂I always wonder in these old mining areas where they got the water? I saw the toilet was plumbed for water. A person might think the containers in the mine were just water storage. Did you open any of them?
No. Thought best if they stay closed. Don’t know what could be in them plus they’ve been there for 30 years!
@@PinInTheAtlas My guess from what I could see in the plastic jars is that it's just water. A mom and pop mining operation would have used anything they could get for free. Anything organic and you would see some form of decomposition in the jars after 30 years.
Oh I love it when you go back to things! Neat that you even see new things
Yes we didn’t notice the writing on the wall the first time we were there!
I love this retrospective and current explore mix! It's so fascinating re-visiting places you've once been; it's something I often love to do and at different seasons to see everything in a new light.
Thank you Joey. Glad you enjoyed it. We’ve missed you. Hope everything is going okay. 👌
I'm glad you don't have smell- a - vision. Very Glad 😊
So true!
Another great video documenting places before they disappear all together. I wish I had the time off from work to be able to explore. Hopefully, when I retire I'll have the time to go back into Archaeology. Been suggesting places for Wonderhussy to explore lately.
If you have any suggestions for us drop us an email Richard. Always looking for new ideas.
Don’t wait until you retire. Get out there go and explore and put another pin in the atlas
I really like that place it feels like there was a lot of disappointment there
Another fun video very interesting Guys .boy o boy have the packrats been busy what a mess.
Yes they love this place! Thank you so much! We’re glad to see not much else has changed here.
A year or two ago, somebody else did a video there (a friend of a friend), and I did a little research on Duke: seems he owned an auto repair shop in a town not too far away, and I think he was also on the city council for a while. He also owned 8 or 9 more mine claims that are scattered around the area.
The reason for all the dates:
The way the BLM used to let people keep their mine claims was, you had to show $150.00 (I think that's the amount) in improvements on the claim site each year. So, it was very important to keep track of when things were done.
Now, you just give the BLM $135.00 each year, and they're happy.
Can't remember if any of his claims became patended (deeded land) or not...
Thanks for the info.
@@PinInTheAtlas 🙂
Dot the I cross the T and a trip to the loo, off to the next location. thank you ALL stay safe
Man its to bad no one goes there and takes care of it anymore
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cant understand why you are scared or whatever to not pop a cork on one of them jugs, if thats aging corn liquor, you have found your retirement fund, just saying, me, im a connoisseur and a consumer of white lighting, love the stuff, especially apple pie. high grade = no hangover, let the games begin 😅
Thousand Island dressing? More like moonshine maybe
Andrea made a joke . You can sit on the toilet and eat your lunch . Lol no thanks that' funny.
😂 lol
Good judgement call on not messing with those jugs! Just no telling what's in them. Otherwise, great explore! It's interesting to see how much people put a lot of effort into living their dreams, including the two of you! Thank you!
Ahh thanks Kerry.
Yep you never know what was in those jugs. Place has been abandoned since 90s!
