Steven and Andrea --- YES , I was there in 1968 . Glad to see that the mining equipment is still there . If you go out in the Joshua forest there is a large water tank and a ''rocking horse'' pump on a drilled well . When i was there , there were clusters of Grapes on the Grape Vines around the big house , I tasted one and it was bitter , and I quickly spit it out . I'm glad that you heard the ''voices'' , I heard both ''voices and music'' when I was there . That big house is Haunted , I tried spending the night there to photograph the apparitions . All I had was an old 35mm Argus C-3 (NO sound recording) with the large M-5 Flash Bulbs . I couldn't last the whole night . . . . too much weird stuff going on ; numerous apparitions , several different voices , music , the rattling of chains - and not a single chain visible anywhere , doors opening and closing by themselves . Later , when I had the film developed , every picture that I had taken of an apparition was fogged . I DARE YOU to go back there and spend the night and record everything on Video and Audio . --- < Doc > .
We thought we were going crazy Doc. We are so glad to know this has happened to someone else. While upstairs I had just turned the camera off, but the mics and my headphones were still on and I was listening to a full blown conversation. Which we both heard that's why I scrambled to turn the camera back on and record walking downstairs, we seriously thought someone would be walking through the front door. We may absolutely have to go back here and investigate more thoroughly.
@@banjoman483 --- I really don't know , but the look of everything showed that nobody had lived or worked there in a long , long , long time . I would imagine that the last time that it was operated was right up to the time of the Presidential Decree to shut down all non-essential mining at the start of World War 2 . --- < Doc > .
I believe the chain on the posts crossbeam was for a winch or hoist. Maybe for hanging and dressing game or livestock then taken in and processed on that butcher block. Great videos . Love the deserted desert 🏜️ towns!
That was certainly a fascinating sojourn you were on, the fact that there was so much mining equipment left behind is interesting because one would have thought that had they intended to abandon the mine they would have disassembled the machinery and moved it to another site or sold it on for further use, elsewhere. The ranch house was of note in that when the last people to live there departed they had the windows carefully boarded up in that there were vents in all of the boards so that the house could air, so that possibly they intended to move back at some point or that it was up for sale and evidently it did not sell. I did not hear any voices other than your own! Thank you for bringing us these marvellous broadcasts, the people are very grateful for the work that you put in.
Thanks, John. We often find mining equipement, but unfortunately, there are too many people out there who come in and loot. The Park Rangers have told us of many stories about missing objects. Glad you are enjoying our content and thank you for the encouragement . We strive to do better with each video.
Hello. Just wanted to say the Comments section is visible again. (I'm thankful for that.) Love your videos and shared them with our BA family group where they are always very well received. Thanks Steve and Andrea for taking us along on your AMAZING adventures!! Xx
Hello again, Andrea & Stephen. Thank y’all for having another interactive-video for everyone to join in on! I listened on my iPhone first of all; heard several sounds but wasn’t satisfied. Switched to Wireless EarPods and really improved the sound quality. Here’s a list of what I heard. Let me know if it matches what y’all saw and heard. Thank you. At 40:20, horn honks from Tonto. 40:35 White Fluffy object flies upward on Left side of screen. 41:06 2 light streaks on floor in front of Island & Front Door change their position on the floor about an inch or two. (can actually see them move). 41:45 Noises started, sounds like door opens & closes plus 4 footsteps. Also, sounds like a humming sound or vibration. 42:20-42:37 sounds like wind blowing. Also at 42:24 a voice sound. 43:10 a thud sound. 43:15 a sound. 43:22 a sound. 43:28 a sound. 43:38-43:58 creaking sounds. The EarPods really makes a difference in the amount of sounds you can pick up from your phone. Did you take notice of the windows covered in Plywood? Have you ever seen that done with the rectangular slots cut in them? I’ve never seen that done before, but it makes sense to let the Light in and still protect the inside of the building. Sorry I made the Comment so long. Keep Safe & Healthy!!
Pretty much the same things, Cary. We heard voices earlier but figured it was some explorers - but no one was there! We have had several comments about viewers hearing music too. One viewer knows the place well and said that he would never stay in the house at night! Too much scary stuff goes on. Who knows. I was unable to find out if something had happened there. So it will remain a mystery. Always enjoy hearing from you.
Lots of activity in that house. Lots of orbs flying by as well. Heard someone walking up the stairs, a door shut, music, and voices. It would be fun to spend a night there to really catch some activity. You wouldn't get any sleep, but it would be fun to document all the activity in that house. This explore was awesome with all the artifacts left behind.
As a figure of speech you found a real GEM with the mining equipment still intact .At the beginning when you fast forward the adventure it made us more curious of what's to come ⛏️🏆thank you for your discovery that we all tagged along great adventure 🇺🇸
So glad you enjoyed this one. We want to make our intros interesting and different to keep people intrigued. so we are having fun coming up with different ideas to play around with!
This was a very interesting place. Maybe, sometimes it's okay to not have ALL of the answers, and let our imaginations do some supposing. Another great video, Andrea and Steven... What a shame that such historic places get vandalized. I thought I heard some sounds, at the end?👏💛🧡
We thoroughly enjoyed this explore, Rhonda, and we feel the same about our imaginations. You're not the only one who heard sounds at the end. Some even heard voices and music!! Spooky.
A facsinating place ,the house is huge,love the doors,and still so much good lumber.We kept our home canned foods in the cellar because it's always cooler than outside also went there in case of storms .very nice great job as usual,thank you 👍❤️
Absolutely loved this "Pin." Your editing and filming is really starting to shine. Place almost looks like both a placer and a under ground operation/explore. Was impressed, wonder if it's for sale? The graduated numbers nails/pegs could have been for hanging wrenches on. Had some like that in my garage, in the hopes that they would be put back there after use, but 9 out of 10 times i'd find them on the side walk, in the drive way, heck even in the garden once. Makes ya wonder why a wrench would be in the garden. Never asked. Really enjoyed, had time for 2 cups of coffee, and a danish. Yee-Haa! Ready for the day now.
@@PinInTheAtlas I especially liked the length of it, the in depth of it, the cutaways to the beauty of the "endless desert."And of course the mystery of it all. Be cool, stay safe, and peace.
@@richardbeee Thank you so much, we are always pushing ourselves to get better. Also still trying to figure out a decent reason as to why a wrench would be in the garden. Have to get back to you on that one!
The chain on the cross bar timber is for pulling a car motor out. The engine air cleaner is from a chey car mid 60's. Space room next to the 55 gallon drum is the generator room with the concrete wood stand left.
What a gorgeous landscape and homestead. It's something about the expanse... miles of spectacular views. I live in Northern New Mexico, and we have our own stunning version of high desert. Where Georgia O'Keeffe lived and painted. It's truly magical.
We always take some extra time to take in and enjoy the surrounding landscape at these locations. It makes them even more special to us, thinking about when they were first settled. Thanks Jeannie. We will definitely be through at some point!
Yes it was very interesting and informative video that you have shown us. Hope I pass the history test. You both are quite impressive at what you do. Thanks for sharing this with us that watch your channel. Outstanding job.
Thanks. That was a great place. There was a bug or orb when you left the camera in the cabin. I couldn't stop the video because it went fast. Top left side of video.
Not sure if it was a bug or orb. We didn't really catch anything else apart from the creeping of the floor and what sounded like someone was moving around. Although that could have been the wind!
The posts with the chain I truly believe was to hang a beef while butchering it . At least on my Aunts ranch that was what they used it for. Had a long chain to hoist it up by the hind feet (yes,it's dead already) and then well the process begins.
What a neat find. Loved the gourd vines, yes they were. That big old house was probably pretty neat in its day, maybe the "Madams" house? Thanks, and the scenery was beautiful.
No mention of a Madam's house in the research. But anything is possible. The gardens were amazing though. Would have loved to have seen them in full bloom. Glad you enjoyed it, Lorna.
They had coal bins too. Wonder what a water test from the open pit could tell you. Definately some sounds at the end. A piano key being struck twice, rustling sounds, bangs ,creaking, voices, etc. Crazy.
Someone else said they could hear music playing as well. We honestly heard on several occasions conversations happening. We may go back here in the future and see if we can capture more.
This place looks so peaceful. I'd love to know how to do oil painting, and paint scenes of this place, as I love desert scenes. I've got a oil painting that I bought in Morro Bay of sand dunes. It reminds me of the sand dunes near Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley, CA.
Hey Stephen n Andrea, I heard voices but not sure at what point in video. You two didn't react the first time I heard them. Glad I am not going loopy. Lol
We heard voices earlier, but thought they were other people looking around outside, so didn't take too much notice. One of our viewers worked there in the 60s and has since told us of the "voices and music"!!
What an interesting find and it does look like both. The way the trees are planted it makes you think of a wine vineyard. At the end of the tape I thought I did hear something but it could have just been the wind. Was it slightly windy that day?
Andrea and Steve, I heard car and truck sounds!!!!!! Wait, Sorry, that was outside my window looking East toward I5 and Mt. Baker:) That place looks in great shape, what a nice retreat it would be. Cheers, Rik Spector
Hi, Andria-- give him a kick you know where-- referring to you as an " old mine" ( the start ) The "thing" with three holes ( 8.05 ) it looks like a" Bain Marie " for keeping food hot. Down below there's a small gas flame heating the oval jacket . This was filled with water that was heated by the gas flame. The three holes are where the containers of food slid in ,when in place put the food inside & close the lid. The hot water kept the food -- hot ! without it drying out. Still waiting for you to find a decent " Chippy "...... 🙂
At 13:26 you open a cabinet in the kitchen that has screened shelves, an opening at the top and if you looked, an opening in the bottom at the floor. This was so cool air would come up from under the cabin and flow up through the cabinet and out the top for keeping vegitables like potatoes and onions cool and dry. It could easily have been that the Homestead house was where the manager or owner of the mine lived and his wife did all the cooking and most cooks did the gardening as well. Growing your own veggies was easier and cheaper than importing them in from other areas.
That is very possible. It was a homely place, although said to be haunted! We would have loved to see it in its heyday with the garden full of veggies.
Ahh, that was quite the place! Very interesting. Loved the inclusion of close-up shots and the short sped up parts (+sound) to keep things moving along. Can't say that I heard anything, but it certainly had you check outside and even call out. Spooky.
We've since found out from other viewers, one in particular who had worked there back in the 60s, that the house is known for it's "spookiness". Voices, footsteps and even music have been heard. (We didn't hear any music, just voices). Glad you enjoyed it Peter.
I’m amazed at all the effort someone put into that lonely place . It would be so neat to see old photographs I bet it would be hard to recognize. If that old house was fixed up I bet it would be really “ posh” as Andrea said . Andrea ! You said you were “ looking for a date” and with Stephen standing right there. You shouldn’t hurt his feelings like that . 🤣🤣. Loved seeing these old homes in their post dream state; this one had so much of its own unique personal charm . But yeah , I heard swooshing when y’all were outside eating doughnuts . And several times like a sound like sliding a book on a counter and then like a click sound . I know people want you to go stay there at night . Ugh! Not my cup of tea, I’ve heard of those spirits following people home . I’m convinced evil spirits haunt those places , every people and nation on earth talk about such things . No way they all just came up with this on their own independent of each other . Anyway Ive experienced what I believe to be two different spooked houses while working , once in a very remote area in a Ms. swamp . Only house down a lonely road , some wealthy folks fish camp . My dad and I stayed the night there by ourselves because the drive home was so far - or so we thought . Something came in the house at like 2 or 3 in the morn and walked around . I was scared spitless and so was my dad . It was the worst vulnerable feeling . No thanks . But love you guys, thanks for making it feel like we’re their with you on a trail of discovery !
Thanks for sharing your "encounter" with us Ron. We do believe that energies can be left behind - whatever you want to call those energies, ghosts, spirits etc. We have had several "encounters" ourselves over the years. We do use a lot of sage after we go on these explores, and give ourselves sage baths and sage Tonto too. Not sure if it helps, but the Native Americans use it as you know. We do it anyway - just to be on the safe side. Several people commented that they too heard things even music. One of our viewers knows the place very well and said it was haunted. I was unable to find any info about who lived here or if anything happened. So who knows. We didn't feel anything just heard voices who were probably hikers and the wind carried their sounds making them seem closer than they were. That's the logical explanation! Who really knows. Glad you enjoyed our explore.
@@PinInTheAtlasThanks for the follow up info. I know you have a lot of comments to read so I won’t go into any more personnel stories but I’ve had two more and one of some friends I used to have . It was very real ( the wife was really traumatized because I think our materialist modern mind doesn’t seem to believe such things are possible ) it had to do with an old unoccupied home in the country. Long and short of it they saw what looked to be orbs with floating fairy or elf like beings in them. They said they were scary fairies the way they appeared and the horses took off terrified . I 100 percent believe them because they didn’t believe in such things snd it really took them by surprise . It scared them both but the wife - it really shook her up. Apologies if this was too long. Not sure if you want us to get into personal stories. The whole ghost phenom really is mysterious and intriguing , it’s so interesting to hear the stories . Just Leary about seeking them , nevertheless I don’t let that me stop me from exploring old homes either .
Sometimes that’s where they hang the name of the ranch or what brand the ranch is using. It would be usually the main entrance to the ranch property. Not really a gate but a property entrance
You used to be able to order house kits from Sears. A lot of abandoned houses look like Sears houses to me. You still can order house kits from various suppliers. A good deal for the do it yourselfer who is not in a hurry to move in.
We have several videos coming up that we haven't disclosed locations. It's such a shame that we feel we need to do that. We spoke to several Rangers, and the vandalism has increased so much with social media and in the last two years.. They gave us locations on the grounds that we keep them a "secret". And you know us, we keep our word.
Good day to you guys. I did not hear any ghost voices but perhaps the place is haunted. I hope you guys carry some protection with you when you're out in the desert. Very good show my friends thank you. This is your friend Ted from Texas
Thank you so much Ted, yes we always carry protection. We may try to go back here at some point and do a little more investigating, see if we can capture something more tangible.
The chain up on the rail road ties may have been used to support an engine hoist or some other block and tackle rig, to lift engines out of trucks for example.
This reminds me of the time we went to Jerome the mine there and the mining hole that could look down we have been two times that's how much we like Jerome as well this looks like fun.
Hi, The end -- where you left the camera alone, could hear a car horn go -- Beep-Beep. could hear muffled voices but it sounded like you two. Somthing fluttered past the camera lens ( a moth ? ) :-)
The beep-beep would have been us unlocking Tonto, and the muffled voices as we left were us outside, You'll hear us say, "Turn the mic off so it doesn't pick us up". As far as something fluttering, it could have been an insect or dust particle.
Those beds are indeed used for people with old limbs. You might find them in hospitals and my grandmother of 98 has one.. It helps her not beeing bed written. Pretty interesting to find it in the dessert tough..
I'm retired now and thinking of traveling about and fixing up what ever I can. Loose steps, roofing replacements, window and doors. I. Have a recycle contact that I can get pretty cheap replacements.
That sounds amazing. There are several groups you can join. Normally jeep groups, which go around fixing up cabins and stocking them with emergency items.
I love your videos! It seems that you research everywhere you go and are cautious, but I have a question for you. Have you ever been told to get out somewhere, or even had a gun pointed at you?
Thanks,Denise. Glad you are enjoying our adventures. No we haven’t. We always check that there are no posted signs. We never knowing venture onto private property and are always respectful. These places are on public lands. Most are well documented and on maps. And some the local law enforcement and park rangers have told us about. We listen to our gut too. If something doesn’t feel right we abort. Hope that answers your question.
That is a strong possibility. The house was more of a home rather than a mine camp, so we thing ranchers may have taken over. Not sure when the place was abandoned.
I didn't see or hear anything but, I am hard of hearing. Have a question, how long do you take between exploring till you go to your next destination? How long till you map out where you go to next? Why not show what you do at your camp site or wherever you stay and show what you do to relax or anything else you do. Tell us how you find your next destination. Just curious like the oysters (want to know if anybody understands that statement). lol😆☺ Stay safe and God Bless.
Check out our Journey Series, Rose. We show a little more behind the scenes, some camping and food. As far as exploring it depends where we are and what's to see in the area. Check out our Baths and Busts vid. th-cam.com/video/5MW5DbDffk0/w-d-xo.html We are having to be more careful now because of the price of gas. We try and group explores together. And as far as relaxing check out this vid. th-cam.com/video/ExW_bRM-Qsk/w-d-xo.html
In that area are lots of cabins, mining camps and even that mill .. I won’t say any names but do your research if you don’t know already lots of cool stuff to see .. FYI the White House was a Sears Kit House Originally 🤘
And here I am beating myself up because I was there years ago and forgot all about it. I don't remember where though. Could you give me a hint that wouldn't give it away to others?
Definitely banging and stuff going on after you guys walked out and left the camera running for about 5 minutes.... I think I heard you and Andrea talking for a little bit though on and off.... Maybe?
You did hear us talking outside, Chad before we turned our mics off. We heard a few things too, Talking in the distance We thought they were other explorers, but didn't see anyone!
@@PinInTheAtlas it doesn't appear to have suffered much other than being in the elements compared to some I know of that have been pretty much decimated and graffited to oblivion . I used to think that people were stingy not letting people know of these places but after a few years of going out to these places that people know of it becomes clear as to why the locations are no longer shared . I grew up with parents that loved looking for rocks ( rock hounds) as a kid I didn't enjoy the peace and quiet and beauty of the desert as I was a kid and we went all over the desert quite often yet I ended up moving to the high desert over 30 years ago raised my children here now that I am 70 and my son and daughter help entertain me because I have had stage 3 cancer for the past 8 years so we go on alot of our own explores it keeps me going and engaged and helps share with them the things I have seen out there. Anyways I enjoy your channel and perspective cheers keep up the good work. 👍
Very much a craftsman style house. The front windows, pocket doors and the tapered square columns all scream craftsman style. I would say homestead but built between 1900 and 1930, maybe...🤷🏼♀️
The first cabin you went in. I got weird feeling. The chain on the corral. Might have been for the name of the ranch. The house to me was a ranch house. I did hear the sounds of movement and possibly walking.Another Uban Explorer felt the same thing. I can't remember who it was. I tried looking information on the missing Park Ranger at Death Valley. No luck yet. I have been having problem with connection to the internet. The problem with the cell tower. Only now maybe requesting information from You Tube Channels. Like Can -Am 411 Missing and Mysteries ( missing people). I know it exists. But I can't seem to find it.
Hi Wayne. Thanks for looking. Email us info if you find anything. Several viewers heard sounds, talking, even music. One of them worked here and said it was extremely haunted!
@ 33:40 ...The Sears and Roebucks Catalogue in the 30's 40's sold many styles of Do It Yourself Houses and some miners may of had a slice of back home living for the wife as the men work the claim. ....But IDK🤔👍😁 .................👣👣👣🌲
Just a couple of suggestions. Most of the folks I know who watch a lot of TH-cam videos prefer videos that run from 10-18 minutes maximum. People's lives are so busy that it's difficult to click on a video over about 18 minutes. A 20 or 30 minute is just too much time. If you have to have a 30 minute video to cover your story, you'd be better off to offer it as two fifteen minute videos. Do a part one and a part two. Many folks watch TH-cam on big screen TVs these days. Most TV's sold today are 'smart' TV's. Next, if you video goes full length (straight through), it's easy to forget to give you a thumbs up because they have to try to back track to be able to go to the place where you can give a thumbs up.....not like on a computer screen. It's a pain and it's easy to just not take the time to go back and give a thumbs up. You can make it very easy for your regular watchers by starting your video and letting it run for a minute (a prologue). Then do a 60 second video of 'your' story and then after a minute go back to your story of the day. That minute of intermission can be a short segment you just cut and paste into every single video. For the thousands of 'regular' folks who only watch your videos on a big screen TV, it makes it very easy to give you a thumbs up EVERY time they watch one of your videos. They do it right at the beginning. Your one minute 'ad' is their signal to give you that all important thumbs up. My wife and I have been following several TH-cam travel couples and individuals for years. We've seen the progression of their videos. They have ALL gone to the format I just suggested. Some go back over seven years. They all now have between 1-2 million subscribers. With income from TH-cam and other TH-cam associated income sources, they are all making $500K -$2 million a year of income. I'm not trying to be critical but just some suggestions that might help you more quickly accrue more subscribers and thumbs ups. I'd like to see you get out of having to live in the bad of a pickup truck. As I said before, that's a tough way to live for a long time. Best wishes! ..............Phil
Hi, Phil. Thanks for the comment and suggestions. We do have shorter videos in that time frame on our channel. We have stated before that when there are many exciting things to see on an explore, we wouldn't break it up or cut it short. As a viewer of lots of TH-cam, you should also notice the trend that Part 1 and 2 don't necessarily work as the second part never performs as well. Then the whole story can get lost, and we don't want to short change our history. We understand that time is short these days, and people don't always have a lot of time to watch a full 30 to 40 plus minute video. However, saying that most T.V. shows are 30 minutes or a full hour and people still watch those. We listen to our viewers, and they love our longer adventures. One comment even said they felt "cheated" when our vid was under 15 minutes! As for starting the video and letting it run for 60 seconds with our story for every video wouldn't work as google analytics comes into play. Showing the same "segment of us and our story" causes people to click off the video. The trick is to grab them in the first 30 seconds and pull them into your video. We are actively working on this as we are still learning. We have a lot of information in our back office provided by TH-cam that helps us decipher what seems to be working and what isn't. We do dive into that when time permits. All that being said, we also have to be happy with the videos we upload at the end of the day. To this point, they all have a special place in our hearts. Showing our progression as creators, our lives in the back of our trusty steed, incredible sites and the history behind them, and those precious moments we hold dear each day. We always appreciate a helping hand on our journey and hope you continue to enjoy our channel
It was very strange, we don’t hype anything up unless it’s for comedic effect. We genuinely heard conversations and thought people were walking up on us. Very weird experience.

Thanks Timothy!
@@PinInTheAtlas no.. thank you 🌵❤️
As are those large Joshua trees out front. I knew where this was as soon as I saw them and the two story house!
It’s a great place. Thanks for not disclosing the location
Ha Ha !! Just call me Millie !🤓🤗🤗 excellent explore !!😎 thanks Andrea and Steve .i
I believe the chain on the posts crossbeam was for a winch or hoist. Maybe for hanging and dressing game or livestock then taken in and processed on that butcher block. Great videos . Love the deserted desert 🏜️ towns!
Thanks for the info! Glad you are enjoying our explores, Mike. Lots more pins to come
That was certainly a fascinating sojourn you were on, the fact that there was so much mining equipment left behind is interesting because one would have thought that had they intended to abandon the mine they would have disassembled the machinery and moved it to another site or sold it on for further use, elsewhere.
The ranch house was of note in that when the last people to live there departed they had the windows carefully boarded up in that there were vents in all of the boards so that the house could air, so that possibly they intended to move back at some point or that it was up for sale and evidently it did not sell. I did not hear any voices other than your own!
Thank you for bringing us these marvellous broadcasts, the people are very grateful for the work that you put in.
Thanks, John. We often find mining equipement, but unfortunately, there are too many people out there who come in and loot. The Park Rangers have told us of many stories about missing objects.
Glad you are enjoying our content and thank you for the encouragement . We strive to do better with each video.
Hello. Just wanted to say the Comments section is visible again. (I'm thankful for that.)
Love your videos and shared them with our BA family group where they are always very well received.
Thanks Steve and Andrea for taking us along on your AMAZING adventures!! Xx
Glad to see the comments are working PJ. Thanks for your support and glad you are enjoying our explores. Lots more to come.
Hello again, Andrea & Stephen. Thank y’all for having another interactive-video for everyone to join in on! I listened on my iPhone first of all; heard several sounds but wasn’t satisfied. Switched to Wireless EarPods and really improved the sound quality. Here’s a list of what I heard. Let me know if it matches what y’all saw and heard. Thank you. At 40:20, horn honks from Tonto. 40:35 White Fluffy object flies upward on Left side of screen. 41:06 2 light streaks on floor in front of Island & Front Door change their position on the floor about an inch or two. (can actually see them move). 41:45 Noises started, sounds like door opens & closes plus 4 footsteps. Also, sounds like a humming sound or vibration. 42:20-42:37 sounds like wind blowing. Also at 42:24 a voice sound. 43:10 a thud sound. 43:15 a sound. 43:22 a sound. 43:28 a sound. 43:38-43:58 creaking sounds. The EarPods really makes a difference in the amount of sounds you can pick up from your phone. Did you take notice of the windows covered in Plywood? Have you ever seen that done with the rectangular slots cut in them? I’ve never seen that done before, but it makes sense to let the Light in and still protect the inside of the building. Sorry I made the Comment so long. Keep Safe & Healthy!!
Pretty much the same things, Cary. We heard voices earlier but figured it was some explorers - but no one was there! We have had several comments about viewers hearing music too. One viewer knows the place well and said that he would never stay in the house at night! Too much scary stuff goes on. Who knows. I was unable to find out if something had happened there. So it will remain a mystery. Always enjoy hearing from you.
Another awesome adventure with PIN and my coffee very cool place
Lots of activity in that house. Lots of orbs flying by as well. Heard someone walking up the stairs, a door shut, music, and voices. It would be fun to spend a night there to really catch some activity. You wouldn't get any sleep, but it would be fun to document all the activity in that house. This explore was awesome with all the artifacts left behind.
Thank you very much. We have been contemplating on going back and spending the night!
As a figure of speech you found a real GEM with the mining equipment still intact .At the beginning when you fast forward the adventure it made us more curious of what's to come ⛏️🏆thank you for your discovery that we all tagged along great adventure 🇺🇸
So glad you enjoyed this one. We want to make our intros interesting and different to keep people intrigued. so we are having fun coming up with different ideas to play around with!
This was a very interesting place. Maybe, sometimes it's okay to not have ALL of the answers, and let our imaginations do some supposing. Another great video, Andrea and Steven... What a shame that such historic places get vandalized. I thought I heard some sounds, at the end?👏💛🧡
We thoroughly enjoyed this explore, Rhonda, and we feel the same about our imaginations. You're not the only one who heard sounds at the end. Some even heard voices and music!! Spooky.
FANTASTIC! VERY COOL/PRETTY PLACE THANK YOU!.SAFE TRAVELS!
They do great work together!¡!
Great vid congratulations on 11.000 subscribers !! Looking forward seeing more content and discoveries / adventures !!
Thanks, Seb. As you know, we have lots more explores to come.
A facsinating place ,the house is huge,love the doors,and still so much good lumber.We kept our home canned foods in the cellar because it's always cooler than outside also went there in case of storms .very nice great job as usual,thank you 👍❤️
Thanks for sharing, Gayle. These types of cellars remind us of Europe. Glad you enjoyed this adventure. Many more to come.
Absolutely loved this "Pin." Your editing and filming is really starting to shine. Place almost looks like both a placer and a under ground operation/explore. Was impressed, wonder if it's for sale? The graduated numbers nails/pegs could have been for hanging wrenches on. Had some like that in my garage, in the hopes that they would be put back there after use, but 9 out of 10 times i'd find them on the side walk, in the drive way, heck even in the garden once. Makes ya wonder why a wrench would be in the garden. Never asked. Really enjoyed, had time for 2 cups of coffee, and a danish. Yee-Haa! Ready for the day now.
Thanks Richard, glad you enjoyed this one and had time for extra caffeine and breakfast!
@@PinInTheAtlas I especially liked the length of it, the in depth of it, the cutaways to the beauty of the "endless desert."And of course the mystery of it all. Be cool, stay safe, and peace.
@@richardbeee Thank you so much, we are always pushing ourselves to get better. Also still trying to figure out a decent reason as to why a wrench would be in the garden. Have to get back to you on that one!
@@PinInTheAtlas Working on a friends bike while they were supposed to be weeding.
The chain on the cross bar timber is for pulling a car motor out. The engine air cleaner is from a chey car mid 60's. Space room next to the 55 gallon drum is the generator room with the concrete wood stand left.
I didn't hear any voices, after you walked out the door! But I did hear something moving about! Great location you've pinned! Love it!
Thank you Kerry. It was strange for us as we seriously heard a conversation while exploring inside.
What a gorgeous landscape and homestead. It's something about the expanse... miles of spectacular views. I live in Northern New Mexico, and we have our own stunning version of high desert. Where Georgia O'Keeffe lived and painted. It's truly magical.
We always take some extra time to take in and enjoy the surrounding landscape at these locations. It makes them even more special to us, thinking about when they were first settled. Thanks Jeannie. We will definitely be through at some point!
Yes it was very interesting and informative video that you have shown us. Hope I pass the history test. You both are quite impressive at what you do. Thanks for sharing this with us that watch your channel. Outstanding job.
Thanks. That was a great place. There was a bug or orb when you left the camera in the cabin. I couldn't stop the video because it went fast. Top left side of video.
Not sure if it was a bug or orb. We didn't really catch anything else apart from the creeping of the floor and what sounded like someone was moving around. Although that could have been the wind!
The posts with the chain I truly believe was to hang a beef while butchering it . At least on my Aunts ranch that was what they used it for. Had a long chain to hoist it up by the hind feet (yes,it's dead already) and then well the process begins.
Definitely heard far away voices at the end, that which remains. Very interesting explore!
Glad you enjoyed it. We couldn’t figure the voices out. Thought they were hikers or explorers but there was no one there!!!
What a neat find. Loved the gourd vines, yes they were. That big old house was probably pretty neat in its day, maybe the "Madams" house? Thanks, and the scenery was beautiful.
No mention of a Madam's house in the research. But anything is possible. The gardens were amazing though. Would have loved to have seen them in full bloom. Glad you enjoyed it, Lorna.
@@PinInTheAtlas Was thinking all the voices, the guys having a good time. LOL
That was a neat house. That place must have been nice at one time
Whoever lived there really took care of it. And the garden!! would have loved to have seen it in its prime.
I got nothing! but nice walk about true story. thank you, ALL stay safe
Thank you Dave.
They had coal bins too. Wonder what a water test from the open pit could tell you. Definately some sounds at the end. A piano key being struck twice, rustling sounds, bangs ,creaking, voices, etc. Crazy.
That it killed hundreds of animals so obviously bad water we'd say!
My grandpa used to make bid houses out of Gords in N.C. Ya'll are producing some great content thank you
Thank you John, we truly appreciate that. Glad you are enjoying our Pins!
Some of that lift equiptment seems newer than the 30s.
Bulk food cookstove? 7:55
We know that the ming was still in operation in the 50s. The homesteaders could have stayed longer.
I heard Gene Kruppa playing Big Noise From Winetka. And maybe the Andrews Sisters. Nice work.
Someone else said they could hear music playing as well. We honestly heard on several occasions conversations happening. We may go back here in the future and see if we can capture more.
This place looks so peaceful. I'd love to know how to do oil painting, and paint scenes of this place, as I love desert scenes. I've got a oil painting that I bought in Morro Bay of sand dunes. It reminds me of the sand dunes near Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley, CA.
You guys are great! Love the videos
Thanks so much, Dee.
Hey Stephen n Andrea, I heard voices but not sure at what point in video. You two didn't react the first time I heard them. Glad I am not going loopy. Lol
We heard voices earlier, but thought they were other people looking around outside, so didn't take too much notice. One of our viewers worked there in the 60s and has since told us of the "voices and music"!!
Good show, as usual.
Thank you Cody
What an interesting find and it does look like both. The way the trees are planted it makes you think of a wine vineyard. At the end of the tape I thought I did hear something but it could have just been the wind. Was it slightly windy that day?
There were wind gusts that day, so it is hard so say Paul.
Andrea and Steve,
I heard car and truck sounds!!!!!!
Wait,
Sorry, that was outside my window looking East toward I5 and Mt. Baker:)
That place looks in great shape, what a nice retreat it would be.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
HaHaHa. That's funny, Rik. Apparently, though, several viewers did hear voices too, so we're not going crazy! Oh, wait. yes we are lol
Hi,
Andria-- give him a kick you know where-- referring to you as an " old mine" ( the start ) The "thing" with three holes ( 8.05 ) it looks like a" Bain Marie " for keeping food hot. Down below there's a small gas flame heating the oval jacket . This was filled with water that was heated by the gas flame. The three holes are where the containers of food slid in ,when in place put the food inside & close the lid. The hot water kept the food -- hot ! without it drying out. Still waiting for you to find a decent " Chippy "...... 🙂
Oh got ya. That makes sense being a food warmer. Haven't seen one before.
You guys are amazing. Love your channel. Greetings from Portugal.
Thank you so much Emanuel!
Ola! Boa tarde.
@@MsSurigirl0la boa tarde.
At 13:26 you open a cabinet in the kitchen that has screened shelves, an opening at the top and if you looked, an opening in the bottom at the floor. This was so cool air would come up from under the cabin and flow up through the cabinet and out the top for keeping vegitables like potatoes and onions cool and dry. It could easily have been that the Homestead house was where the manager or owner of the mine lived and his wife did all the cooking and most cooks did the gardening as well. Growing your own veggies was easier and cheaper than importing them in from other areas.
That is very possible. It was a homely place, although said to be haunted! We would have loved to see it in its heyday with the garden full of veggies.
Ahh, that was quite the place! Very interesting. Loved the inclusion of close-up shots and the short sped up parts (+sound) to keep things moving along. Can't say that I heard anything, but it certainly had you check outside and even call out. Spooky.
We've since found out from other viewers, one in particular who had worked there back in the 60s, that the house is known for it's "spookiness". Voices, footsteps and even music have been heard. (We didn't hear any music, just voices). Glad you enjoyed it Peter.
I’m amazed at all the effort someone put into that lonely place . It would be so neat to see old photographs I bet it would be hard to recognize. If that old house was fixed up I bet it would be really “ posh” as Andrea said . Andrea ! You said you were “ looking for a date” and with Stephen standing right there. You shouldn’t hurt his feelings like that . 🤣🤣. Loved seeing these old homes in their
post dream state; this one had so much of its own unique personal charm . But yeah , I heard swooshing when y’all were outside eating doughnuts . And several times like a sound like sliding a book on a counter and then like a click sound . I know people want you to go stay there at night . Ugh! Not my cup of tea, I’ve heard of those spirits following people home . I’m convinced evil spirits haunt those places , every people and nation on earth talk about such things . No way they all just came up with this on their own independent of each other . Anyway Ive experienced what I believe to be two different spooked houses while working , once in a very remote area in a Ms. swamp . Only house down a lonely road , some wealthy folks fish camp . My dad and I stayed the night there by ourselves because the drive home was so far - or so we thought . Something came in the house at like 2 or 3 in the morn and walked around . I was scared spitless and so was my dad . It was the worst vulnerable feeling . No thanks . But love you guys, thanks for making it feel like we’re their with you on a trail of discovery !
Thanks for sharing your "encounter" with us Ron. We do believe that energies can be left behind - whatever you want to call those energies, ghosts, spirits etc. We have had several "encounters" ourselves over the years. We do use a lot of sage after we go on these explores, and give ourselves sage baths and sage Tonto too. Not sure if it helps, but the Native Americans use it as you know. We do it anyway - just to be on the safe side. Several people commented that they too heard things even music. One of our viewers knows the place very well and said it was haunted. I was unable to find any info about who lived here or if anything happened. So who knows. We didn't feel anything just heard voices who were probably hikers and the wind carried their sounds making them seem closer than they were. That's the logical explanation! Who really knows.
Glad you enjoyed our explore.
@@PinInTheAtlasThanks for the follow up info. I know you have a lot of comments to read so I won’t go into any more personnel stories but I’ve had two more and one of some friends I used to have . It was very real ( the wife was really traumatized because I think our materialist modern mind doesn’t seem to believe such things are possible ) it had to do with an old unoccupied home in the country. Long and short of it they saw what looked to be orbs with floating fairy or elf like beings in them. They said they were scary fairies the way they appeared and the horses took off terrified . I 100 percent believe them because they didn’t believe in such things snd it really took them by surprise . It scared them both but the wife - it really shook her up. Apologies if this was too long. Not sure if you want us to get into personal stories. The whole ghost phenom really is mysterious and intriguing , it’s so interesting to hear the stories . Just Leary about seeking them , nevertheless I don’t let that me stop me from exploring old homes either .
@@PinInTheAtlas 🙏❤️
Wine plants, are a great way to get shade, and grapes, while needing very little maintenance.
These are great properites, for farming.
Too bad, people don't live that way anymore.
Love your vids!! Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them! Thank you so much JK. Lots more to come.
good show you two. i live in parhump nevada.
Lots to explore around that area, Rex. So close to Death Valley and the mountains.
@@PinInTheAtlas i am a rock hound. so gets me out there so much to see.
@@rexruggless9671 there really is!
Sometimes that’s where they hang the name of the ranch or what brand the ranch is using. It would be usually the main entrance to the ranch property. Not really a gate but a property entrance
I liked the reverse precap of the video at the beginning. It would be nice if you did that more often.
Thanks, Thomas. Thought we'd try something different. Still learning our editing techniques and want to improve with each video.
@@PinInTheAtlas You do great with it.
You used to be able to order house kits from Sears. A lot of abandoned houses look like Sears houses to me. You still can order house kits from various suppliers. A good deal for the do it yourselfer who is not in a hurry to move in.
this site was so fun to see.you guys are great love you.stay safe
Always a pleasure, Rex. Glad you enjoyed it.
Do they know camera is there? You told them/it... Lovyavids, Peace guys!!!
Very interesting; no/ don’t give out locations:: great job//think you found some ghosts 😎😎
We have several videos coming up that we haven't disclosed locations. It's such a shame that we feel we need to do that. We spoke to several Rangers, and the vandalism has increased so much with social media and in the last two years.. They gave us locations on the grounds that we keep them a "secret". And you know us, we keep our word.
Good day to you guys. I did not hear any ghost voices but perhaps the place is haunted. I hope you guys carry some protection with you when you're out in the desert. Very good show my friends thank you. This is your friend Ted from Texas
Thank you so much Ted, yes we always carry protection. We may try to go back here at some point and do a little more investigating, see if we can capture something more tangible.
The chain up on the rail road ties may have been used to support an engine hoist or some other block and tackle rig, to lift engines out of trucks for example.
Good point Kevin, hadn't thought of that!
This reminds me of the time we went to Jerome the mine there and the mining hole that could look down we have been two times that's how much we like Jerome as well this looks like fun.
Jerome is a fun place to explore, Merry. We were hoping to film on our visit, but it was just too busy. Lots of tourists. maybe another time!
Another interesting video, looks like you found the septic system, there had to have been a well somewhere also.
Thanks Brian. We did search around to locate the well but didn't come across it.
Hello from Denmark
"Been there, done that" years ago. Did you explore Cima too?
No, not this time Jan. Has the place changed much? Without giving the location away!
@@janblake9468 Oh , we have driven through there. Not much left to explore though.
Jan, I've removed your last comment. It gives away the location. Sorry but we're trying to protect it from vandals.
Good video you two
Thanks Bill!
In the time frame you are talking about horses were used à lot.
Hi,
The end -- where you left the camera alone, could hear a car horn go -- Beep-Beep. could hear muffled voices but it sounded like you two. Somthing fluttered past the camera lens ( a moth ? ) :-)
The beep-beep would have been us unlocking Tonto, and the muffled voices as we left were us outside, You'll hear us say, "Turn the mic off so it doesn't pick us up". As far as something fluttering, it could have been an insect or dust particle.
Those beds are indeed used for people with old limbs. You might find them in hospitals and my grandmother of 98 has one.. It helps her not beeing bed written. Pretty interesting to find it in the dessert tough..
I'm retired now and thinking of traveling about and fixing up what ever I can. Loose steps, roofing replacements, window and doors. I. Have a recycle contact that I can get pretty cheap replacements.
That sounds amazing. There are several groups you can join. Normally jeep groups, which go around fixing up cabins and stocking them with emergency items.
The numbers are standard sizes of plumbing fittings in the US. Probably was a storage bin.
I love your videos! It seems that you research everywhere you go and are cautious, but I have a question for you. Have you ever been told to get out somewhere, or even had a gun pointed at you?
Thanks,Denise. Glad you are enjoying our adventures. No we haven’t. We always check that there are no posted signs. We never knowing venture onto private property and are always respectful. These places are on public lands. Most are well documented and on maps. And some the local law enforcement and park rangers have told us about. We listen to our gut too. If something doesn’t feel right we abort. Hope that answers your question.
The numbers on the wall could be to hang a wrench that size on!
Looking at the pump/compressor? It is probably a cooling device. Way before I was born..
So it looks like somewhere in the 1970s somebody was trying to rehab that house because of the newspapers dated from the mid-70s upstairs??
That is a strong possibility. The house was more of a home rather than a mine camp, so we thing ranchers may have taken over. Not sure when the place was abandoned.
I didn't see or hear anything but, I am hard of hearing. Have a question, how long do you take between exploring till you go to your next destination? How long till you map out where you go to next? Why not show what you do at your camp site or wherever you stay and show what you do to relax or anything else you do. Tell us how you find your next destination. Just curious like the oysters (want to know if anybody understands that statement). lol😆☺ Stay safe and God Bless.
Check out our Journey Series, Rose. We show a little more behind the scenes, some camping and food. As far as exploring it depends where we are and what's to see in the area. Check out our Baths and Busts vid.
th-cam.com/video/5MW5DbDffk0/w-d-xo.html
We are having to be more careful now because of the price of gas. We try and group explores together.
And as far as relaxing check out this vid. th-cam.com/video/ExW_bRM-Qsk/w-d-xo.html
In that area are lots of cabins, mining camps and even that mill .. I won’t say any names but do your research if you don’t know already lots of cool stuff to see .. FYI the White House was a Sears Kit House Originally 🤘
We have pinned quite a lot in the area for us to explore when we return. Thanks for the tip. We'll continue scanning Google Earth.
And here I am beating myself up because I was there years ago and forgot all about it. I don't remember where though. Could you give me a hint that wouldn't give it away to others?
@rppope1006 Mojave
Really a nice homestead. Didn't hear any voices, perhaps ghosts?
Maybe!!! Perhaps we should investigate further.....at night!
@25:17, looks like it could have been a "Cherry Picker" for pulling the engine out of a truck.
Definitely banging and stuff going on after you guys walked out and left the camera running for about 5 minutes.... I think I heard you and Andrea talking for a little bit though on and off.... Maybe?
You did hear us talking outside, Chad before we turned our mics off. We heard a few things too, Talking in the distance We thought they were other explorers, but didn't see anyone!
you guys must be from back east all the mud room talk. haha
LOL
block and tackle hanging from wood structure to pull engines out of vehicles. very common device.
Thank you, Frank. We wondered what it may have been used for.
Sad to see people will try to destroy things out in that beautiful area I've been there 👍
So true, Judi. Don't know what goes through their minds or why they think it's their right!!! Very sad. Has it changed much since you were last there?
@@PinInTheAtlas it doesn't appear to have suffered much other than being in the elements compared to some I know of that have been pretty much decimated and graffited to oblivion . I used to think that people were stingy not letting people know of these places but after a few years of going out to these places that people know of it becomes clear as to why the locations are no longer shared . I grew up with parents that loved looking for rocks ( rock hounds) as a kid I didn't enjoy the peace and quiet and beauty of the desert as I was a kid and we went all over the desert quite often yet I ended up moving to the high desert over 30 years ago raised my children here now that I am 70 and my son and daughter help entertain me because I have had stage 3 cancer for the past 8 years so we go on alot of our own explores it keeps me going and engaged and helps share with them the things I have seen out there. Anyways I enjoy your channel and perspective cheers keep up the good work. 👍
Very much a craftsman style house. The front windows, pocket doors and the tapered square columns all scream craftsman style. I would say homestead but built between 1900 and 1930, maybe...🤷🏼♀️
That's what we figured, Cat. Too nice to be a bunk house.
The yellow one is a Massey Ferguson tractor engine.
The first cabin you went in. I got weird feeling. The chain on the corral. Might have been for the name of the ranch. The house to me was a ranch house. I did hear the sounds of movement and possibly walking.Another Uban Explorer felt the same thing. I can't remember who it was. I tried looking information on the missing Park Ranger at Death Valley. No luck yet. I have been having problem with connection to the internet. The problem with the cell tower. Only now maybe requesting information from You Tube Channels. Like Can -Am 411 Missing and Mysteries ( missing people). I know it exists. But I can't seem to find it.
Hi Wayne. Thanks for looking. Email us info if you find anything. Several viewers heard sounds, talking, even music. One of them worked here and said it was extremely haunted!
@@PinInTheAtlas It does appear to be a hot spot for the paranormal activity.
@@waynebender8835 I think we need to return and see if we can get some more evidence!
@ 33:40 ...The Sears and Roebucks Catalogue in the 30's 40's sold many styles of Do It Yourself Houses and some miners may of had a slice of back home living for the wife as the men work the claim. ....But IDK🤔👍😁 .................👣👣👣🌲
Those Sears houses look pretty good!
im glad to see the graffiti artists havent tagged it
So are we David. Another reason why we're not giving this location out.
Why are you guys stuck at 12.5k subscribers
since like the last year ??
We had about 6k this time last year but it still a slow process.
Please never tell anyone about this wonderful place
We won’t. That’s why we put the disclaimer in at the beginning, also asking people not to put anything in the comments.
We call those gourds coyote melons out near Joshua Tree
That makes sense, as they do look like melons.
Appear to be Buffalo Gourd or also known as "stink gourd", a native weed in Tx.
that's a screen tool for recreening windows..
Looks like someone started to refurbish that house they gutted it then left it
It maybe deep, but it is flooded.
Miners may not garden, but I bet the camp cook would.
Now that's a thought.
How do you guys go to the bathroom in that truck?
Very carefully, Roger. LOL.
Just a couple of suggestions. Most of the folks I know who watch a lot of TH-cam videos prefer videos that run from 10-18 minutes maximum. People's lives are so busy that it's difficult to click on a video over about 18 minutes. A 20 or 30 minute is just too much time. If you have to have a 30 minute video to cover your story, you'd be better off to offer it as two fifteen minute videos. Do a part one and a part two. Many folks watch TH-cam on big screen TVs these days. Most TV's sold today are 'smart' TV's. Next, if you video goes full length (straight through), it's easy to forget to give you a thumbs up because they have to try to back track to be able to go to the place where you can give a thumbs up.....not like on a computer screen. It's a pain and it's easy to just not take the time to go back and give a thumbs up. You can make it very easy for your regular watchers by starting your video and letting it run for a minute (a prologue). Then do a 60 second video of 'your' story and then after a minute go back to your story of the day. That minute of intermission can be a short segment you just cut and paste into every single video. For the thousands of 'regular' folks who only watch your videos on a big screen TV, it makes it very easy to give you a thumbs up EVERY time they watch one of your videos. They do it right at the beginning. Your one minute 'ad' is their signal to give you that all important thumbs up. My wife and I have been following several TH-cam travel couples and individuals for years. We've seen the progression of their videos. They have ALL gone to the format I just suggested. Some go back over seven years. They all now have between 1-2 million subscribers. With income from TH-cam and other TH-cam associated income sources, they are all making $500K -$2 million a year of income. I'm not trying to be critical but just some suggestions that might help you more quickly accrue more subscribers and thumbs ups. I'd like to see you get out of having to live in the bad of a pickup truck. As I said before, that's a tough way to live for a long time. Best wishes! ..............Phil
Hi, Phil. Thanks for the comment and suggestions. We do have shorter videos in that time frame on our channel. We have stated before that when there are many exciting things to see on an explore, we wouldn't break it up or cut it short. As a viewer of lots of TH-cam, you should also notice the trend that Part 1 and 2 don't necessarily work as the second part never performs as well. Then the whole story can get lost, and we don't want to short change our history. We understand that time is short these days, and people don't always have a lot of time to watch a full 30 to 40 plus minute video. However, saying that most T.V. shows are 30 minutes or a full hour and people still watch those. We listen to our viewers, and they love our longer adventures. One comment even said they felt "cheated" when our vid was under 15 minutes!
As for starting the video and letting it run for 60 seconds with our story for every video wouldn't work as google analytics comes into play. Showing the same "segment of us and our story" causes people to click off the video. The trick is to grab them in the first 30 seconds and pull them into your video. We are actively working on this as we are still learning.
We have a lot of information in our back office provided by TH-cam that helps us decipher what seems to be working and what isn't. We do dive into that when time permits. All that being said, we also have to be happy with the videos we upload at the end of the day. To this point, they all have a special place in our hearts. Showing our progression as creators, our lives in the back of our trusty steed, incredible sites and the history behind them, and those precious moments we hold dear each day.
We always appreciate a helping hand on our journey and hope you continue to enjoy our channel
@@PinInTheAtlas Thanks!
I thought I heard voices to and a door slam or close
We definitely heard voices Tina. That’s why we went outside. We were expecting to see hikers or other explorers
@@PinInTheAtlas maybe residual,, you know that play over and over from past events
@@tinadelwiche416 Absolutely, we hope to make it back to this place and investigate further, maybe even stay the night!
@@PinInTheAtlas that would be a good idea
Its haunted maybe that's why they didn't finish the renovations
It was very strange, we don’t hype anything up unless it’s for comedic effect. We genuinely heard conversations and thought people were walking up on us. Very weird experience.
So, one day they just pulled up their roots and moved on.
Seems that way!
The chain on the wood beam hang a chain hoist on! Work on a peace of equipment !
I heard some Korean voices.....................my bad, it was my Bride in the other room.
LOL
Ghosts!
At 25:20 you see where cow and pigs are dressed for butchering
Thanks for the info, Don.
Miners can't garden, true story!
LMAO
Maybe you guys should claim this place and take up homesteading...
At least you would'nt have to worry about pesky Fuller Brush salesman or Jehovas Witnesses at this location. Just the occasional puma.
