This was good. My Mom is from Overton. Her great grandfather was Edward Bunker Mormon founder of Bunkerville, NV. Her family got to Overton by way of St. Thomas demise. Many of my genealogy are buried in the St Thomas cemetery relocated in Overton. I grew up knowing this story of St.Thomas while water skiing in Lake mead over St. Thomas in the 70’s. I learned a lot from this. Thanks it was fun.
You express sympathy for the loss these people felt, which is appreciated. Loss of community as well as loss of home must have been so great! Warmth and kindness is rare now. Thx for a fine job.
my dad took me on this trip on his motorcycle the first time i ever went to vegas and it changed me as a person. this area and the valley of fire is my favourite place on earth. thank you for sharing, steve
That is really cool.. I first visited.. Wow.. I'm getting out.. At around 34 and I am 53 now.. I wish I had gone when I was young because I love all of this... I was just stuck in Texas as a kid.. ;). It still impressed the heck out of me, and I know it will the next time I get out there.. Glad you have an appreciation for these things!
Hi from a Brit who has been living in Romania since 2010. There was a similar situation in the north of England a few years ago after a protracted drought. The extremely low water level uncovered a village at the bottom of a reservoir which supplied water to Manchester. It became quite a tourist attraction and I've seen several videos on TH-cam. The walls and foundations of a manor house, a farm, some cottages and a church were revealed. There was even some narrow gauge track from the railway which was built to carry materials during construction of the dams, Ladybower and Derwent. The latter is famous for being where the Avro Lancasters practised before going on the Dambusters raids. When the reservoirs were first being filled the top of a church tower stuck out of the water but it was later blown up for safety reasons because people were swimming out to the tower. Two or three road bridges were also visible when the water level was at its lowest.
I went to school in Las Vegas and mre than once, I remember the whole class being taken to Overton and that museum. The boys always wanted to get into the pit house. This probably the late 60's. Thanks for the memories.
Steve, your videos just get better and better, from visuals to editing to the substantial historical research. One thing I realized halfway through this one was the absence of background music. I've always appreciated your choice of lyrical, unobtrusive music, but your videos are outstanding even without it. Bravo!
Thanks. There's music earlier in it but I decided not use it in the town to show how quiet is out there (when some guy with a camera isn't walking around talking).
There is a similar situation with lake Isabella in kern county California. When the hydroelectric dam was built the lake was created and it flooded the original town of kernville which was later relocated a little further up the hill / canyon. Sometimes when the water level is low, you can still see the steeple from the church.
Great to see more of that area of the US in Nevada and the ghost town of St. Thomas and i liked hearing the story of the area there and about Lake Mead i like the awesome looking scenery and the great mountains as well. I really enjoyed hearing about the Lost City and it's historical past in Nevada have a nice Merry Christmas and thank you.🎄🇺🇲🎄
I discovered this channel a few months back and it gives me a reason to look forward to Wednesdays. Thanks. Living in Southeast Arizona, I have gone to a few of these places because I saw them here.
Another great presentation. My ancestors came into AZ through the St Thomas area in 1877 and down Detrital Valley. BTW, your “fish” joke has a double meaning: one of the most prominent AZ pioneer families coming down from Utah was named Fish. One last point as an AZ desert rat: this episode shows how quickly greasewood and willow reemerge, even after the land was flooded for decades.
Lake Mead was one of our water-sport playgrounds from the late 70's thru the early 90"s. I never would have guessed there once was a town below the surface. Thanks for the video / history lesson while bringing another storied past back to life...
Another great video about the ever fascinating Southwest. These stories about the abandoned towns always remind me of that program that ran a few years ago on the History Channel called After Man.
Steve to see down these pits and things it may be useful to carry a small flashlight when you are out and about. Thanks for the history lesson! I really enjoy them.
Flashlights don't work in daylight shining into darkness. Use a small mirror instead. For instance, when you were looking into the well, a mirror would have show the bottom, not a flashlight. Take both!🙂
On the railroad construction photo you show; the crane like machine is an American Hoist & Derrick "Ditcher", you could order them with a crane boom, and then add a shovel boom, or a pile driver attachment. But note the mid-1930s flatbed truck, so that photo is from when the railroad was being torn up before the waters arrived.
The infamous 55 gallon drum casket. I lived in Vegas from 87 to 97, made some good money(height of a boom period)and explored every corner of S. Nevada, California, and Utah. I treasure the memories of that experience and the awesome places I went to. Spent a lot of time in Death Valley, and have seen many super bloom events over the years. And a lot of flash floods! That is certainly a dramatic event in itself, to say the least... Thanks for the trip to St Thomas😁
Steve, I very much enjoy your videos. I grew up in Chula Vista, was a reserve Deputy Sheriff, worked with Border Patrol in San Ysidro, patrolled the rails through Goat Canyon but left in 1980 to find my fortune in San Jose/ Santa Cruz. I've been to many places you've explored in San Diego County. Now I'm living in Northern Nevada and seeing that you are visiting places in my state. Rock on!
Thanks for the nice vid sir - we came through Overton after doing Valley of Fire a number of years ago. That museum is absolutely well worth the stop. What a super interesting part of our history.
Steve… I have been following you for years. I love your travel logs. They are beautifully shot. And your voiceover soundtracks. They are always consistent, lovely and completely Professional Sounding. Which I greatly appreciate. You have been able to go and show me. All of the places. I have not yet been able to go, myself. During my retirement. I have been experiencing extenuating circumstances and multiple attacks. From extremist psychopaths. That have completely disrupted my life for the past 10 years. But fear not my friend. I am slowly, moving on and getting away from those extremist freaks. Who have destroyed my life. As that's all these extremist crazies know how to do. And thanks to you,, Steve. And your superb cinematography and audio tracks. Without loads of stupid, pay for commercial music turned up too loudly. Your narrative,, research and history. I am greatly attracted to. You have substance. And your spoken delivery always lovely,, kind,, friendly, inviting. Thank you sir. You sound like a kindhearted individual. With a background in education and history. As this appears to me. To be a lot of work. A lot of research. A lot of time and effort. And I hope it pays off for you. These are all lovely. Your efforts, all special. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have allowed me to escape my bounds. Electronically. And go where I want to go. Where you go. It's enriching. It's history in America. Most do not want to be Woke to know anymore. Because they don't want to be Woke.. Meaning they don't want to be, educated, intellectual, intelligent. They like being,, ignorant, hillbilly rednecks. Which you do not display at all.. Shame on you. Just who are you trying to, present to? Intellectuals like us? Yes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a guy who did his homework. Thoroughly. I love your videos. They take me away from my misery. They are refreshing. They are inviting.. I want to be there soon. Just to be alone. RemyRAD
Thank you for this video, yet another interesting one! Must have been emotion-packed for the former residents returning to visit the remains. And your forecast for dry times in perpetuity is in keeping with the geophysical and astrophysical forecasts as well!
Great work Steve! This is the most thorough story I've seen on the town. Much respect for the people who lived there. If the lake keeps dropping you may have to do a Vid on the B-29 out in the lake as well...😊 Thanks again for all you do!
You don't know how much I enjoy walking with you every step of the way! I was only out in the desert once, up around Badlands National park. I hadn't realized I went deep into an Indian Reservation! The bartender at the one lone bar told me where I was! He said no overnight camping or you'll never be seen again! That was around 1975! I wasn't really in America at that point!
I have been watching your channel for the pass 2 years, I made the adventure and travel to this town. About 10 years ago enjoyed very much. The museum is an absolute must to visit. Hopefully I'll be returning next may to look at it again with the changes. Since the lake has dropped even more again. Thank you for your great content.
It has deteriorated a lot in the years since I have been there, maybe in 2015. There was group of us and we sat on the school steps for a photo - that concrete that has fallen across the steps was not there. Thanks so much for posting a picture of the school, too!
Enjoyed this thx. We love the drive and scenery in that area . Put on some music and it becomes even more mystical. The lake has made a modest slow rebound of sorts, in the last two years. I hope it stays on that trend. This is fascinating. Nice work. Cheers.
Thankyou for another amazing video. We live in British Columbia but go to the desert every spring. Have gone to some of the places you have showed us. Nancy
I've been in Bullhead City permanently sincen1984. Never have I been so worried about the Colorado River and lake mead . These last few years have definitely been an eye opener regarding the water in the area.
What a coincidence, I was researching information on Elephant Rock and St Thomas Ghost town when I saw your video drop. Lots more for me to research now and include on my itinerary. Thanks for sharing.
Pretty cool stuff!👍 It's been amazing at what has come back from this lake since the levels have dropped. I've heard all kinds of stories. My favorite has been about a WWII B29 bomber that ditched back in the day that has become accessible! Safe travels!🙏
A groop of frinend we spent many summer day on the lake. My favorite part of everyday was at sunset. The roar of the engines had died down. Gentle voices floating in the breeze. And the sound of the small waves slapping the hull as we would slowly make our way in. Some of us met our future wife's & husbands on lake Mead. That was the late 70s early 80s. Now all that is left are the memories and almost 40 years with the shy one. Who would barely look at me the day I first saw her.
I live in the desert too and i have lots of seashells around my house and certain parts of town. Those shells were there before there was a lake and this entire area was a large inland sea since there are few shelled creatures in lakes
Fascinating. It would have been a beautiful place to live, both in ancient times, and more recently. I spent many decades hiking the deserts of the southwest (I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan now) and as I watch your videos, the sound of your feet crunching in the sand and gravel is wonderfully evocative of those days. I miss them. Thank-you!
Hello Steve. Got a late start on viewing this latest video. As always, I throughly enjoyed it and the information was nothing short of being more of a learning experience! Thanks!
Another great video Steve. Very interesting to me all the facts you have taught me about the Southwest. Really appreciate all the time you spend researching on these remote, desolate sites.
Steve, you take us places we didn’t even know existed. I was married in Las Vegas in 1991 and we traveled around the area quite a bit on other visits. Thank you for all the interesting history.
Growing up in the metropolitan of Phoenix, Arizona - we didn't have A/C we maybe had swamp coolers until we moved to Scottsdale, and we also would sleep under a damp sheet at night. That was in the late 60's
Hence: pit houses! I'm old enough to remember road trips when my parents would buy a block of ice for the dog to lie on on the floor of the back seat. Car air conditioning has to be way high on the list of "modern miracles!"
This was good. My Mom is from Overton. Her great grandfather was Edward Bunker Mormon founder of Bunkerville, NV. Her family got to Overton by way of St. Thomas demise. Many of my genealogy are buried in the St Thomas cemetery relocated in Overton. I grew up knowing this story of St.Thomas while water skiing in Lake mead over St. Thomas in the 70’s. I learned a lot from this. Thanks it was fun.
Awesome
That’s quite the family history. Keep passing it on
@Conejo Thanks for sharing this interesting history…
Thanks for your post! I have been there to St. Thomas and then we did spend time in Overton, too!
You should be proud. My ancestors settled ST. THOMAS in the 1800s.
You express sympathy for the loss these people felt, which is appreciated. Loss of community as well as loss of home must have been so great! Warmth and kindness is rare now. Thx for a fine job.
my dad took me on this trip on his motorcycle the first time i ever went to vegas and it changed me as a person. this area and the valley of fire is my favourite place on earth. thank you for sharing, steve
Valley of Fire is incredible, and you can loop this drive with it too.
That is really cool.. I first visited.. Wow.. I'm getting out.. At around 34 and I am 53 now.. I wish I had gone when I was young because I love all of this... I was just stuck in Texas as a kid.. ;). It still impressed the heck out of me, and I know it will the next time I get out there.. Glad you have an appreciation for these things!
I noticed someone walking in the background a couple times…are they with you or exploring separately ?

I love the pace; the enthusiasm; the detail; the relaxed delivery. Very well done.
Steve, your videos just get better and better, from visuals to editing to the substantial historical research. One thing I realized halfway through this one was the absence of background music. I've always appreciated your choice of lyrical, unobtrusive music, but your videos are outstanding even without it. Bravo!

It's old KernVille over on the Wofford Heights side. My family has lived in the Kern Valley for decades. Lots to see for Sidetrack Adventures there.
Love your videos,Steve!
Thank you! I'm glad you like them.
He is down to earth, and very well versed!
You are doing a great service by telling these stories, may God bless you sir!
Driven to Las Vegas several times. Never knew what you taught us. THANKS!
No replies?!
Thanks! There are so many towns out there that have vanished.
Great to see more of that area of the US in Nevada and the ghost town of St. Thomas and i liked hearing the story of the area there
and about Lake Mead i like the awesome looking scenery and the
great mountains as well. I really enjoyed hearing about the Lost City
and it's historical past in Nevada have a nice Merry Christmas and thank you.🎄🇺🇲🎄
Merry Christmas to you too!
Thanks!
Thank you, I truly appreciate it.
I see a lot of crappy videos on TH-cam. Yours aren’t them. You do a really good job. Thanks for your efforts.
I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks, Steve for letting me hike with you.
I discovered this channel a few months back and it gives me a reason to look forward to Wednesdays. Thanks. Living in Southeast Arizona, I have gone to a few of these places because I saw them here.
Yay! New Sidetrack Adventure Day!
Have a great day!
A day many of us look forward to...
I'm not saying Steve needs a faster vehicle.. However, I do look forward to every new view of the world and the places I might have missed..
Always cool video's & stories ... thanks Steve!
Another great presentation. My ancestors came into AZ through the St Thomas area in 1877 and down Detrital Valley.

Excellent. Thanks for taking us along Steve.
Great video Steve. When I was a teenager, my dad took us to Hoover Dam to see the water flowing over the spillway in 1983. It was an amazing sight.
Another fine video here, Steve. Seeing the site now it's hard to imagine the water pouring into Lake Mead being that plentiful to fill this area too.
Thank you for making these videos. It's so fun learning about these hidden places.
Lake Mead was one of our water-sport playgrounds from the late 70's thru the early 90"s. I never would have guessed there once was a town below the surface. Thanks for the video / history lesson while bringing another storied past back to life...
The "cliffs" were a favorite party place in the 70s. Lots of memories ✌
Thank you Steve, I always enjoy watching your travels and learning of your research. I also enjoy the dad jokes!
Cheers!
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoy the dad jokes!

Great video! Can I take my metal detector?

Whats your favorite band ? 🤘
STEVE, I should say it more often, But Great Channel, Thanks for the Adventure.
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Another awesome video!
Glad you liked it!
Steve, I have just one thing to say... I just LOVE your videos! Always so happy to see it appear in my notifications 🤗
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

Nice to see you're back in my town of Overton! Welcome!
This is one of my favorite channels on YT. Wonderful work, sir.
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for the interesting story of St.Thomas,enjoy your videos🤗😎🤗😎
Thank you.
Love your videos. I found you a few days ago and I'm hooked.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them.
Excellent video! Thanks, Steve. My wife recently presented a lesson about St. Thomas for the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
Thank you.
Nice school. Haha for the fish! That's a good one.
Thanks!
Thanks Steve! Your videos are the best!
Thanks! Glad you like them.

Thank you for your wonderful videos. Great memories.
Thank you Steve and crew.
Great story. Thanks for the before and after pictures.
Another wonderful visit, thank you!
I’m frustrated with the garbage channels on you tube yours is so relaxing thank you!
Enjoyed this thx. We love the drive and scenery in that area . Put on some music and it becomes even more mystical. The lake has made a modest slow rebound of sorts, in the last two years. I hope it stays on that trend. This is fascinating. Nice work. Cheers.
Great episode!!
thanks Steve... good show.
The engine at 13:29 looks a lot like a early Small Block Chevy, 283 or maybe a 327.
Great watch, thanks for all the walking you do for the vids.
Thankyou for another amazing video. We live in British Columbia but go to the desert every spring. Have gone to some of the places you have showed us. Nancy

Great history lesson. Thanks for sharing👍

Fascinating. It would have been a beautiful place to live, both in ancient times, and more recently.

Very well done. Very interesting.
Very interesting story Steve - thanks!
Fascinating Steve, thank you.
This is pretty cool. I've heard about it but have never got to see it in person. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy all your videos. This one was excellent.
Steve, you take us places we didn’t even know existed. I was married in Las Vegas in 1991 and we traveled around the area quite a bit on other visits. Thank you for all the interesting history.
Glad you enjoyed it!
As someone in the UK, it`s always fascinating to hear some American history and see the sites via your informative videos, superb thank you. 👍
Fascinating. Thank you
Love your videos, I don’t miss a one of them, keep it up.👍👌
Recently found your channel and subscribed. These are all very interesting videos
Growing up in the metropolitan of Phoenix, Arizona - we didn't have A/C we maybe had swamp coolers until we moved to Scottsdale, and we also would sleep under a damp sheet at night. That was in the late 60's
Hence: pit houses! I'm old enough to remember road trips when my parents would buy a block of ice for the dog to lie on on the floor of the back seat. Car air conditioning has to be way high on the list of "modern miracles!"
@@Ddax-td7qy I had a 450 ac in my car back then as well - 4 windows open going 50 mph, lol
Thank you for another great adventure
My bucket list includes going to every spot you visited. Thanks so much for these informative and educational videos.
Amazing video. Thanks Steve
This place is both sad and haunting. Losing this place must have been gut wrenching.
Such a great episode.
Also, the ASMR walking is just a bonus lol
Great video Amigo!!😂❤
VERY interesting video, thanks Steve.
Fascinating, not an area I know anything about, living in Scotland, but thanks TH-cam for suggesting your videos to me.
