My father had an older Ford Ranchero. What I loved about it was that you didn't need a pickup truck license for it. That was nice! I'd love to have one in mint condition now! Shazam!
I was there in 2001---twenty years ago. Back then, the site was complete and not all shot up. What a shame. The old processing mill was all intact as well. Didn't sleep in the cabins but could have.....no busted walls and roofs and windows. The tin building was a garage with grease pit for servicing cars. Now, the old yellow 'bus' is a 1935 Chevrolet Suburban, the very first year of production. In 2001, it was not all shot up and the dash was complete. Shame. The newer 'Henry and the Henderson's car is a 1950 Chevrolet Suburban, also in much worse shape. The red and white car is a 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88, and it too was in better shape 20 years back. I have 35mm photos of the cars and cabins in my files somewhere. We did a LOT of ghost-town exploration in the '90's and early '00's prior to youtube, etc. using topo maps and dead reckoning. Much less travelled back then. Great Videos, safe travels!!
Thanks for the car info. This place must have been amazing when you explored all those years ago. It is such a shame that people have to destroy and loot these historic sites. If you find those photos, we would love to see them. And any other places you have explored. Our contact information is: info4pinintheatlas@gmail.com
It was flipping cold up there Kerry. We left straight after the filming to "warmer" climates - i.e. off the mountain. Glad you are coming along with us on our adventures, and we hope that we are inspiring you to put Pins in your Atlas. Thanks for the support.
Nice video, thank you! Those two stoves were powered by Fuel Oil. They were very nice and cozy. They are still in use in some areas! When the contrived Gas shortage first hit they became quite expensive to operate! They had quite large containers for the fuel. Trucks that delivered the fuel were quite common on the streets and highways! Ron PTL USA
Thanks for the info, Ron. We would have loved to have seen the ranch and mining camp in its heyday. The top mine we explored was a bonus - we didn't know that one was there.
The 2 cabins with the stoves are fuel oil fired stoves. The thing on the back on the bottom is a carburator that controlled the flow of fuel. We heated our house with one back in the 50's.
I’ve loved all of your videos and am very thankful for all the TH-camrs who are filming before these historical sites are destroyed by nature or vandals. You mentioned having to replace your tires because of the harsh terrain; that reminded me to think twice before I go off on one of these adventures by myself in my 1997 RAV 4. 🤣 I’ve lived in the western mountains most of my life and back in the mid-1960s a friend knew where a key was hidden to the church in a nearby ghost town so I was able to go in and play the old pump organ. Thankfully at least 40 people still live in that town and keep vandals at a distance. As much as I loved seeing the old cars, that gorgeous wallpaper was the highlight. Exquisite!
That’s an Oldsmobile! 53:34 It might be a 1955 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight! A very fancy and luxurious car. The color of the vehicle could probably be used to verify the year and model! What a cruiser! That manifold on the ground suggests she was a straight-eight!
Earlier I was observing a Ruin in Alabama, Plantation with remains of Chimneys circa 1824, and later early Plantation House remains, circa 1857, with family Cemetery that dated back to 1799. Due to moisture here in the South the decay is way fast, whereas the desert and high desert allow for years of longevity. Nevada was my home for 17 years, full of experiences, people, living life with great happiness and I will carry the value, the friendships, my professional achievements, and raising my Son with my Soul eternally. Much appreciation for Nevada and its energies.
I love it out west. Here in the southeast most places vacant for 20 years you can’t even see it. Kudzu grows over everything. Plus trees. I have a 3 month vacation coming. And I will be out west the whole three months. After seeing this video I research Mercury ore. And then everything made sense. Keep on keeping on. The world is your stage. So happy Sarah W.H. Turned me on to you two.
Awww thank you we really appreciate that. We are very happy you are enjoying our content. Full disclaimer though some of our earlier work that sound quality isn't the best...
Amazing how slow the native grasses and shrubs grow-those roads were scraped down over 130 years ago-and still not overgrown. I'd expect the mine has contaminated the groundwater..don't drink any water around here.
Wow, one massive explore video! Must have taken ages to upload! Such a cool location! Such a great exploration! Most of those mines looked indeed very sketchy and was kinda surprised how far you dared to venture into that bat one. Had to sit through a ton of adds (let them all run their course), so you must be really raking it in with this one ;-P
Thanks, Peter. We weren't expecting it to be quite that long. Difficult to know what to edit out as it is all so interesting (especially to us). We don't normally venture into mines, as not mine explorers and are not equipt. We only did this one because we had friends outside, and didn't really venture in that far. Thanks for letting the ads run, we need all the help we can get. In the last few weeks we've had 4 punctures and now need a new set of tires so we can explore more places. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the vote in confidence.
I'm pretty sure the second vehicle [@ 45:37] is a 1951 Chevrolet Suburban - It may be a Chevy 3100, but its one of those two models. The shape of the grille is unmistakable.
Near the beginning of the video. In the door way that was a Gas furnace? The last Station Wagon was from late 1940's to early 1950's. The symbol on the back of the car looks familiar. But when you were film there was manufacturer assembly plate on the door frame. It would told you make , the year and were it was built. I surprised by the distance you want into the mine. It looks like it wouldn't take lot to collapse the mine. Thank you for your eye for detail and filming.
Hi Wayne. Next time we see an old vehicle, we'll pay more attention to the door frames. Thanks for the tip. We didn't go too far into the mine as we are not experienced enough. Although it is very tempting. Our friends were just outside, otherwise, we wouldn't have ventured in. Thanks for the compliments and your continued support.
I think that might be a 1951 Chevrolet Suburban. A highly coveted vintage collectible vehicle - the first SUV. The vehicle interior was almost completely “salvaged.” It’s true the door pillar or for that vehicle the firewall on the engine side and driver’s side should have a vehicle model plate. Those are collectible too! Those plates have assembly plant codes, engine codes, paint codes and option codes. That was a find! 46:45
Terrific in depth record of another piece of our collective past. The tangle of roads running every which way in some of your long views is amazing. So, mercury mining? Isn't that pretty toxic? Or am I misunderstanding something? Interesting observation I noticed and I think confirmed later about knob and tube wiring is that the insulation was pure rubber and as such could last a very long time. I rewired a house about 30 years ago that had original K&T wiring and the rubber was still supple and soft. Of course that was in Maine. The hot desert air in the west could certainly make it brittle more quickly.
Have you both ever been to one of your places and felt spooked by the environment or buildings, or the area the place is located? Share with us some of your spooky events as you have been on during your travels.
Our video “something isn’t right at this ranch” had an eerie feeling to it. We had major malfunctions to all of our equipment on the mining camp day three video. We have captured a few disembodied voices which we shared at Blair Ghost Town and at the Big Thunder Gold Mine videos. But we haven’t necessarily been spooked ourselves yet. We’ve had a few bad feelings at potential campsites that we decided not to stay at so we do always listen to our gut.
Wow!! Yee-haa!!! Had to watch this one twice, and will probably watch it a third time as well. Great work on this one. First and foremost in my mind was and is always safety. You both scared the #ell out of me just with where you were walking and filming at the beginning. What you were walking on was hollow ground (not hallowed). That was on big stope, all them "tunnels" were in fact collapsed stopes. As they mined upwards they would often stope to the grass roots. That "rock" you were walking on is very deceptive.It was full of cracks and even had big slabs ready to fall. All those ore shoots came down from where you were walking. The stopes, are mined in such a way as to "shoot" the ore to the haulage drift where they'd fill the ore cars and push out to the ore bin. A good way to tell if your safe in a tunnel is your voice. Echo? Solid. Muffled? Not. Ok, i've settled down now. Now on to the cabins. Not sure on this but i think that was a boiler, it looked like it had a tank in it for water. We now call them hot water heaters. Same with the "modular" at the end. Off the bath that little "closet" was where it would have stood. Hence the vent up top. The little holes i believe you called them. Trucks? Here we call them panel wagons. Don't know what there called across the "Pond". Notice the upper mine they ended up stripping? That's because the ore ran to the grass roots. It would have been safer to mine it that way. More than likely the owners son of the first mine was injured in a rock fall. Pretty much everything was cool. I could tell you were both cold; #ell, i was freezing watching this way down here.Brrr.! That big cylinder that turned was where they "roasted" the ore. Cinnabar is a mercury sulfide. They would raost the ore to burn the sulfur off and the mercury. The sulfur escaped as a gas and the mercury vapor upon cooling or condensing would pipe to the lower areas. Each step producing a purer product. Your lingo was great except where Andrea "drifted" off there:) Oh! The old auto? Looked like a Chrysler Imperial. Was not much of a front end but the back, kind of looks like one. Again a great job.Really like yas a lot so stay safe. Be aware of whats around you. Love your videos and hope we meet someday. Here!
Why, Thank you, Richard, for being so caring. We love reading your comments and learn something new each time. For some reason, I keep forgetting the correct mining lingo, and yet I do know the terminology. I'll get it right one of these days. We don't have panel wagons in England. Too big for the roads I guess.Plus petrol (gas) is over 4 x the cost of over here. It was flipping cold up there. The day before we were in shorts and tees. Whenever Steve and I go out, as soon as we mic up, the wind seems to know, and on these occasions, so did the snow. This was filmed end of April, and they did have several snow storms at the high altitudes. So glad you are enjoying our "Pins". We have lots more to come. Thank you once again for your support and kind words.
@@PinInTheAtlas Something i do keep forgetting myself, to tell you both. I learned this a long time ago and have shared it with other "tubers".is looking down a shaft. If you get yourself a mirror and attach it to a pole and reflect the sun down in a shaft you'd be surprised how far down you can "see". Know the sun wasn't shineing much there when you were filming but other people have done it and thanked me. Someday i'll tell you that story. Back in my wilder days. Yee-haa!!! It was Steve that i was worried about when He was standing between the collapsed stopes. Right under him could've been more stope ready to go. Those timbers were not really there for support. The "stulls" were there to work off of more than anything. Stop and ask yourself; Could a Timber replace the support that the rock did before removal of such? The answer is no.Any way be blessed by the Best. Rattle snake Richard ,out.
Good Morning I have been watching your channel ever since you both have done exploring videos here in my state of Arizona and of Nevada and part of New Mexico. I would love to see you do more exploring of my state of Arizona like up in Jerome,Globe,Prescott I would for you both to do one on Payson because there is a grave that me and my husband would like more info on it is up on highway 89 it will be on the side of the road it is fenced off you can't se it from the road so you will have to watch for the spot of where it would be at it is also down by the Verde river there is also a foundation right by it my husband I tried to find info on it but couldn't find anything about it there are other areas there we would like to see more of and the history of Payson.
@@PinInTheAtlas I just now saw this as I was watching the video on the Boy Scout Ghost Camp. I sure will looking forward to seeing more videos. I also love how you go into the old buildings and telling history
I'm trying say how you talk and show the inside of the old buildings. I sure will be looking forward to seeing more of your adventures for here in my state. My husband and I use to do this until our son came along we just to busy with having to raise him and it would have to hard to bring along diapers etc plus we didn't know about this stuff with the go pro cameras and the editing that goes with all I have is a little tablet book that I wrote down of all our adventures.
@@merrydowner7316 There is a lot of work that goes into making these videos before, during, and after the explores. It is so much fun and we are loving every minute of it. Hopefully one day you'll get back out there and start putting more Pins in Your Atlas!
@@PinInTheAtlas Yes I hope so for When my husband and I retire then we plan on traveling to do more exploring now that we have 4x4 jeep grand Cherokee with 4 wheel drive.
The upside down car is a socker mom's van. (true story) The second one is a 1949 - 1953 Chevrolet Suburban. The driver side door jamb has (or had) a data plate that would tell you what year, gross weight, and so on. Most were 1/2 ton, some were 3/4 ton, and a few were heavy duty one ton suburbans. If you it permission were possible, you could haul either one or both and build a rat rod. Rat rods are a compilation of art, modern engineering, they all have some kind of history story, they are an example of repurposing, a love of mechanics, and bunch more attributes. But again, one needs permission or you can get justifiably shot in my state. Have fun, be safe, and maintain your respect for other's property as you always do. Thank you.
Thank you for the info on the vehicles. We have perused a few car shows and do love the craftsmanship form, fit, function and engineering of a skill-fully reimagined classic.
That area was abandoned quite a while before it was taken over by the state and you have to remember ,this is the remote west and vehicles like that turned over and rusted became targets, that just the way it is , but most of those are not recent. I agree that respect would be ideal, but no doubt a bunch of young ranchers full of youth and beer wouldn't have your high moral standards. I've traveled the whole country and backpacked into many remote area and have always followed the creed leave only footprints, What does and always bothered me the most was the trash strewn, not only here, but along our roads. When I visited Europe, I didn't see that as much, maybe it's cultural or maybe I just missed it. We all know the creed of people like your selves in regard to open and urban exploration, but your preaching to the choir. Sorry, Cheers, Rik Spector
You are probably right out the youngsters filled with beer. We don't have guns in UK so you don't see things shot up. Although litter and graffiti seems to be a worldwide problem. The Nordic countries don't seem to suffer with that as much as other European countries. We were always brought up to leave no trace and appreciate the beauty, whatever it was, around us. Hopefully our videos will inspire the younger generation to have more respect of these historical site. Thanks for your support yet again.
The first two vehicles are Chevrolet/GMC Suburban carryalls. Not enough left of the first to determine which make, but it is 1939-1940. The second is a 1949-53 Chevy. Can't say much aout the Ranchero because autos that young don't interest me. The fourth car appears to be a late 1950's Oldsmobile. Olds were almost as luxurious as Cadillacs.
What would we do without you Jan? You will be our "go-to" person on these things. The last car was by far our favourite. Although I did like the panel wagon and would have loved to have seen it in its prime. Shame those idiots have used them for target practice.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thanks. My first car was a 1956 Chevy Suburban, later I bought a 1937 GMC Suburban. And have had several more modern ones since so I know them well.
@@normstephens8354 Yes you're right! You just brought back memories of our Keys Ranch tour in Joshua Tree. We wrote a blog about it on our website. He saved every bolt, nut, washer and had piles of old machinery and appliances for spare parts to keep everything operational. Thank you Norm
A lot of people just don’t have respect. Such a shame. We don’t understand why people feel the need. At least not everyone is like that. Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately, we don't have any say on how many ads go in. Since it is a longer video they pumped as many in as they could. Still, glad you enjoyed our content!
My father had an older Ford Ranchero. What I loved about it was that you didn't need a pickup truck license for it. That was nice! I'd love to have one in mint condition now! Shazam!
It was/is a good-looking vehicle. Bet it was your Dad's pride and joy.
I look at the old cars and trucks and think some date a person bought that brand new and was so proud of it.
We think the same thing Candy, it was someones pride and joy at one point.
I was there in 2001---twenty years ago. Back then, the site was complete and not all shot up. What a shame. The old processing mill was all intact as well. Didn't sleep in the cabins but could have.....no busted walls and roofs and windows. The tin building was a garage with grease pit for servicing cars. Now, the old yellow 'bus' is a 1935 Chevrolet Suburban, the very first year of production. In 2001, it was not all shot up and the dash was complete. Shame. The newer 'Henry and the Henderson's car is a 1950 Chevrolet Suburban, also in much worse shape. The red and white car is a 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88, and it too was in better shape 20 years back. I have 35mm photos of the cars and cabins in my files somewhere. We did a LOT of ghost-town exploration in the '90's and early '00's prior to youtube, etc. using topo maps and dead reckoning. Much less travelled back then. Great Videos, safe travels!!

Rock heaven...😊 I wish i could go rock houndin'
It was a Chevrolet panel wagon , nowadays call a mini van !!
The 2 cabins with the stoves are fuel oil fired stoves. The thing on the back on the bottom is a carburator that controlled the flow of fuel. We heated our house with one back in the 50's.

Hi guys. I remember the movie Harry and the Henderson’s. Lol Great video loved the old cars. Love the places you go. It’s amazing what people leave.
Thanks, as always, for your support Paula.

First episode comes out on Tuesday. You totally can and it is most definitely worth it!

Hi, along these abandoned mining camps that you have explored, had electric service. How was the electricity supplied to the camp?
Some had generators and also they used car parts. Large operations had pylons running up from towns. Sometimes we see and film these.
Thank for the info. Love your show, going to watch more tonight. Ken
@@kennethganser4119 Hope you continue to enjoy our pins Ken
The amount of vandalism at this site, is really quite distressing. Once a thriving community. Now reduced to a junk pile. So very sad.
Totally agree Kevin. We don’t understand the mentality of people.

The "stulls" were there to work off of more than anything. Stop and ask yourself; Could a Timber replace the support that the rock did before removal of such? The answer is no.Any way be blessed by the Best. Rattle snake Richard ,out.
@@richardbeee The mirror is a great idea, thanks for the tip. We're looking forward to hearing that story! Once we're on more stable ground! Ha ha
That last sedan on its roof look like a 1950s vintage Oldsmobile.
Awesome man freaking awesome
You 2 scared this ole Great Gramma by going in that crumbly mine. Gramma Candy
Good Morning I have been watching your channel ever since you both have done exploring videos here in my state of Arizona and of Nevada and part of New Mexico. I would love to see you do more exploring of my state of Arizona like up in Jerome,Globe,Prescott I would for you both to do one on Payson because there is a grave that me and my husband would like more info on it is up on highway 89 it will be on the side of the road it is fenced off you can't se it from the road so you will have to watch for the spot of where it would be at it is also down by the Verde river there is also a foundation right by it my husband I tried to find info on it but couldn't find anything about it there are other areas there we would like to see more of and the history of Payson.
Glad you are enjoying our adventures Merry. We do have more Arizona explorations coming up, and do plan on doing more. We love Arizona.
@@PinInTheAtlas I just now saw this as I was watching the video on the Boy Scout Ghost Camp. I sure will looking forward to seeing more videos. I also love how you go into the old buildings and telling history
I'm trying say how you talk and show the inside of the old buildings. I sure will be looking forward to seeing more of your adventures for here in my state. My husband and I use to do this until our son came along we just to busy with having to raise him and it would have to hard to bring along diapers etc plus we didn't know about this stuff with the go pro cameras and the editing that goes with all I have is a little tablet book that I wrote down of all our adventures.
@@merrydowner7316 There is a lot of work that goes into making these videos before, during, and after the explores. It is so much fun and we are loving every minute of it. Hopefully one day you'll get back out there and start putting more Pins in Your Atlas!
@@PinInTheAtlas Yes I hope so for When my husband and I retire then we plan on traveling to do more exploring now that we have 4x4 jeep grand Cherokee with 4 wheel drive.
The upside down car is a socker mom's van. (true story)
The second one is a 1949 - 1953 Chevrolet Suburban. The driver side door jamb has (or had) a data plate that would tell you what year, gross weight, and so on. Most were 1/2 ton, some were 3/4 ton, and a few were heavy duty one ton suburbans.
If you it permission were possible, you could haul either one or both and build a rat rod. Rat rods are a compilation of art, modern engineering, they all have some kind of history story, they are an example of repurposing, a love of mechanics, and bunch more attributes.
But again, one needs permission or you can get justifiably shot in my state.
Have fun, be safe, and maintain your respect for other's property as you always do.
Thank you.
Thank you for the info on the vehicles. We have perused a few car shows and do love the craftsmanship form, fit, function and engineering of a skill-fully reimagined classic.
That area was abandoned quite a while before it was taken over by the state and you have to remember ,this is the remote west
and vehicles like that turned over and rusted became targets, that just the way it is , but most of those are not recent.
I agree that respect would be ideal, but no doubt a bunch of young ranchers full of youth and beer wouldn't
have your high moral standards.
I've traveled the whole country and backpacked into many remote area and have always followed the creed leave only footprints,
What does and always bothered me the most was the trash strewn, not only here, but along our roads.
When I visited Europe, I didn't see that as much, maybe it's cultural or maybe I just missed it.
We all know the creed of people like your selves in regard to open and urban exploration, but your preaching to the choir.
Sorry,
Cheers,
Rik Spector
You are probably right out the youngsters filled with beer. We don't have guns in UK so you don't see things shot up. Although litter and graffiti seems to be a worldwide problem. The Nordic countries don't seem to suffer with that as much as other European countries. We were always brought up to leave no trace and appreciate the beauty, whatever it was, around us. Hopefully our videos will inspire the younger generation to have more respect of these historical site. Thanks for your support yet again.
Box springs. Went under the mattress
Set on a metal frame 😅
The ranchero looks 1964 or 1965 by the design, earlier ones had a more round design later ones at a more squared design.
This man reminds me of an Anchor coloring a PGA Golf Tournament.
...
Thank you. We think!!!
It looks like it was done by a high wind storm. Wind storms are known to do that.
Vehicle #2, definitely GMC, Late 1940s-50s.
@4:56 - These are the places that make the HARE on the back of your neck stand up , and the Rabbit too . Lol .
LOL.
The first two vehicles are Chevrolet/GMC Suburban carryalls. Not enough left of the first to determine which make, but it is 1939-1940. The second is a 1949-53 Chevy. Can't say much aout the Ranchero because autos that young don't interest me. The fourth car appears to be a late 1950's Oldsmobile. Olds were almost as luxurious as Cadillacs.
What would we do without you Jan? You will be our "go-to" person on these things. The last car was by far our favourite. Although I did like the panel wagon and would have loved to have seen it in its prime. Shame those idiots have used them for target practice.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thanks. My first car was a 1956 Chevy Suburban, later I bought a 1937 GMC Suburban. And have had several more modern ones since so I know them well.
Rolling drier , very common .
looked like an oil or kerosene heater looked like it had a carburetor that the line was going to.
That is a possibility, Art. What ever the case may be it was really neat to see.
What is an oil stove heating stove.
A boot kick perhaps for scraping and perhaps removal! Ron PTL USA
Oh darn 😕. We wanted to see 👀 what your friends made for dinner. Out takes would be fun to see 👀 also. 😃😄😁😇👋✌👍☝😉
We do show out takes on some. If there are any lol. You’ll just have to keep watching! Glad you’re enjoying our adventures
Both old Chevy !!!
That second vehicle looks like a Chevy panel truck. I would guess on the 40’s and that gas hole is what they called the gogo juice.
Thanks Bob. Appreciate the comment and the info.
57 Oldsmobile, fuel filler under the tail light
Maybe all the cars were flipped upside down when a flood came through that wash
We did think about that, but most of the cars were well away from any wash. We figured it must have been some youths having, what they call fun.
@@normstephens8354 Yes you're right! You just brought back memories of our Keys Ranch tour in Joshua Tree. We wrote a blog about it on our website. He saved every bolt, nut, washer and had piles of old machinery and appliances for spare parts to keep everything operational. Thank you Norm
@@normstephens8354 We never knew that. Thanks for sharing
When was this filmed?
It was filmed in early May, Don.
Hope you didn't mind me giving you a mention on Facebook, Cerro Gordon page x
We appreciate that Carol, Thank you. Share away. Hope you enjoy all of our adventures
Chevy Suburban maby year 1953 just saying
Drift
I don’t like when y’all go in the mines..yikes!😱
We are always very careful and never go in too far. Thanks, Jacqueline for your concern. We have lots of adventures where we don't go into mines.
It’s in peoples nature to destroy things that they don’t own. .
A lot of people just don’t have respect. Such a shame. We don’t understand why people feel the need. At least not everyone is like that.
Thanks for watching.
TOO MANY commercials. Otherwise, very interesting.😎
Unfortunately, we don't have any say on how many ads go in. Since it is a longer video they pumped as many in as they could. Still, glad you enjoyed our content!
