A $10 book on AMAZON PRIME led me to a LOST GHOST TOWN | Overlanding Nevada

We're all probably guilty from time to time of mindlessly shopping on Amazon. One morning I was enjoying a cup of coffee to myself one morning as I stumbled across a book of old Nevada Ghost Towns. The stories seemed intriguing and I couldn't wait for it to be delivered.
A week later it arrived in the mail, and as soon as I opened the first pages I found myself destined for the Nevada Desert in search of Gold. Follow along as I brief one of these Ghost Towns back to life!

That was a stamp mill. We are envious. We use to do exactly what your doing. Love it.

Thanks for sharing this, that was a great way to do an adventure using a historical book. Adventures like that are a great way to see history.

[@RhinoOffroad]

Absolutely! Really enjoyed bringing the book to life

You should put a motorcycle rack on the back of the jeep and carry a mini bike to keep going if you can't get the jeep down the road

[@RhinoOffroad]

That would be epic! Maybe one of those electric bikes

[@flyfisher530]

Great video Kevin! I love books like the one you have showing the history of an area, especially mining history. So amazing the conditions these miners worked under and the small towns that would pop up in the middle of nowhere! I really enjoyed watching this! 👍

[@RhinoOffroad]

Thanks Mike! Really enjoyed making this one

[@roycehartman325]

The area around Dixie valley looks awesome, I'll have to add that to my Nevada list of places to check out!

[@RhinoOffroad]

100%!

So victaulic pipe fittings if I remember correctly was introduced during the war in the 1930’s there slogan was V for victory it’s a quick way to assemble a pipe line and or disassemble so that fittings would have been at a later date
The cement with the bolts was for the hoist the cement pillar was a deric to lift the tailings out of the mine

[@RhinoOffroad]

That's great info! Thanks for filling in the gaps

The actual bomb range itself is B-17. Thats north of hwy 50 and all fenced in. They still use the areas for training just not bombing. Designated areas only for bombing. I would also suggest not taking any parts being they are still gov property....just sayn.

nice jeep, nice guy, good talking and not selling stuff??? A winner for me…

[@RhinoOffroad]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching 🤙

Great adventure, love the book concept but all I see are closeups of your face. If you showed scenery as you narrate it would be much more watchable.

What cube lights do you have and do you recommend? I have a light bar already looking to light up the ditches. Thanks.

[@RhinoOffroad]

Honestly just some Amazon specials. They work great though

[@timw3411]

Link?

[@RhinoOffroad]

@@timw3411 don't remember to be honest it's been a few years. Just search for 12V LED spot lights

[@OLNPHOTO]

Isn’t this the same video as the last Nevada mine search?

[@RhinoOffroad]

Combined both episodes 👍

[@robertherrmann4823]

Why the rerun?

[@RhinoOffroad]

Combined the two different videos into one long full feature

[@Beauty_and_TheBeard]

Busy flying missions not much content?

[@RhinoOffroad]

🇺🇲 I'll be back at it soon! 🤘
