My family owns some cabins that are off from the end of the road that goes up the hill. We call it "Camp Runamock," although the locals call it something else, I can't remember what exactly. My mom painted a sign that has a goofy cartoon deer with an arrow through it's head and "Camp Runamock" on it at the edge of the road you turn onto to get to the cabins. My late grandmother had purchased the group of cabins when I was 5 years old, and me and my family have been up there numerous times (I will be turning 23 this month). Though the town is pretty bare in population and things to do it's so gorgeous and has some really neat places to go hiking. It was great hearing the rich history of this town that has been a big part of my life.
I camped there with my family some 20 years ago or so.. an unlce knew someone who owned/rented one of the cabins up the hill from the main store and so we ended up staying there during our week long camping trips. It was truly an experience and some of my favorite camping memorie... and as a 12 year old, I will say it was quite the spooky experience.. of course our imaginations as children ran wild given we were in a ghost town. One thing I remember was all the stars you could see in the night sky, far from anything we can see here in Portland. A couple years ago my husband and I took a road trip to eastern Oregon and I just had to make the drive back to Granite... it looked just as I had remembered.
Another wonderful video. It's nice to see the areas and know the struggles they endured. Yes, the western mining camps could be very lawless. But communities and their families that lived there also had good times. Thank you for telling these tales for many to see.
Granite is not a "ghost town." It is a very small town, yes. But it has a functional city government, hotel, homes that people live in. Even recently paid for building permits. Not a ghost town. Not "abandonded"
What is bro yapping about? This is a high quality video with clearly real pictures. The parts of art are just to fill some gaps during the narration which is perfectly fine.
Such great fun to watch!

Thank you for this brief little getaway into the past.
