I am North of Yuma about 4 hours. Congrats on your land purchase! Do you got plans of any type of homestead or moving? You should do a KZbin channel about the move and setup. I just got 41 acres myself this weekend! Getting ready to upload the first video on my new channel www.youtube.com/@CrazyLifeRanch showing the world you have to be crazy to do what we are doing lol.

Thanks more seems like the more videos I do the more complex and time goes into editing them lol. Much appreciated! Love your 93 'Til Infinity (LP Instrumental) on your playlist brought me back...

Thanks! There are hundreds and hundreds of places to go and visit, so I will never run out of content for several years. Apricate the encouragement Best wishes to you too!

Absolutely, you could further refine it but the process would take a large mining company twice as much in cost to extract the gold. You or me could go a pan a mine dump or tailings and find gold. Just be sure your not on a active mine claim in the old days (claim jumping) you'd be shot! You gotta watch this crazy gold prospector Jeff Williams. He has everything on his channel about prospecting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WbZIWqm7GWrLM. In this video he talks about getting gold from old mine dumps. He got me inspired to hunt for gold in the desert. Looks like I am going to turn out to be a old prospector LOL.

@@inbwanderer Nice one i will take a look at jeff's channel. our gold and silver mine in the UK mainly Wales and Scotland have long since been depleted mostly by the Romans about 1800 years ago. but ive seen people panning the rivers there and finding small amounts of gold.

Yea Ricky, you got that right. Cops are always showing up at my ex-wife's apartment complex for some kind of crazy. That's why I am moving the kids out of Las Vegas. They need to be able to play outside and they can't even do that and feel safe. I was just in the back country down a jeep trail and someone had tossed a kitchen bag full of trash in the desert for no reason.

Thanks, yes it was...

So Awesome! Best wishes Kerri!

Hey Shane, I am in Mohave County Northern Arizona, Chloride, Dolan Springs, Kingman Arizona is the largest town next to me... Thanks for sub, welcome aboard! I will be doing my weekly adventures while building my little off grid slice of heaven from nothing. Don't wait to start for too long my friend time goes by too quickly and before you know it life has passed you by. You want something you got to make s**t happen. Thanks, I will need a lot of luck too! Best wishes

It was soooo cold coming off the mountain. I wanted to taste test the water but with any drinking source you get from a spring, stream, river ect. it needs to be at a minimum boiled to drink to kill off the bacteria that can make you very sick. I have life straws amzn.to/3A7sdMI a brand that uses activated ingredients for emergencies when I am out in the wilderness and I can drink using any water source clean or dirty using that device.

Michael that is so awesome... they got little alfalfa cubes they sell for a dollar by the bag in the shops ( just look for the signs) one bag will be quite enough for the day. Just feed them open palm my son who is 8 years old curled his fingers and they bit him... ouch..... he understood he fed them wrong. So awesome you get to travel. Be sure to park your vehicle and explore the nooks and cranny's of the town next time... Best wishes to you!

Hello Glory my name is Scott not Chris LOL... I apricate having you watch my videos from across the globe. Take care and best wishes

@@inbwanderersorry...I fixed it😁

Thanks for the feedback. It's one of my earlier videos in my KZbin Journey I plan on doing more research on the places I visit and voiceover moving forward. As for a music it's a reflection of my personality.

I totally agree, they don't call is stolen Dolan for a reason... the sheriff seems powerless out here. Of course that's why whenever I am out at the property I am never unarmed.

Will do thanks for the tip. Best wishes

LOL suppose it is...

Thanks Elizabeth! The Pioneer Saloon is a entire video all in itself. I was more focused on this video as a highlight / brief history of of the town. I have it on my list to do a really good history of the Pioneer Saloon past to present. It's going to take time and research to get it right. My condolences to your Grandpa.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming. ✌️

Will do, always keep your head on a swivel in the Mojave Wasteland!

Thanks, I plan on doing a more detailed tour in the future

Thanks Ricky, appreciate you and I will keep posting em! 😊

I love that chick! Let me get at least a 1000 subs before I attempt to reach out to her Thanks for being my #1 fan so far in my early KZbin career... LOL... have a great weekend Ricky!

Thanks Ricky, going out and seeing new things is what life is all about. Most people can't go out due to medical conditions. I feel blessed and my adventure map will be full of pins the day I decide to hang my hat up for good. Your absolutely right, country living rules!

@@inbwanderer that's why I came back to Oklahoma. During the c stuff, I could not get medical care I California. Everything was closed. I am using the Indian hospital now down in Lawton. I am getting pretty good medical care here.

@@inbwanderer Your girls were funny. I'm surprised they didn't say "Are we there yet"? I caught the one comment towards the end about the black water hose..."that's another project" hahaa They were pretty good sports about going though, most girls could care less about such things.🤣😂👏👍👍

LOL 😁 She was there a second ago...

It just turned spring and it was hot! We walked about 2 miles round trip and had only 2 full water bottles. Not enough! Going to start walking anywhere with full on water backpacks (camelpacks). The desert is fun but can get into trouble fast.

Thank you, That was a good investment. They are not making any more land as they say. With building a homestead from scratch there will be a lot of work lol. Hope to have you along for the journey.

@@inbwanderer that's exactly what I did, paid about $5,000 for my place and sold it for $30,000. Big profits out there. It was fun and exciting to build your own place. So many ways you can design a place to live.❤️

Absolutely!! Plan is to build out the water, sewer, and electric systems (solar panels and battery's) and get out of the city by next year out on the property full time! Thanks Ricky.

Thank you...much appreciated, one day at a time it will get better. Hang in there! Look for the joy in simple things. Glad your still here as well! Was a EMT for 18 years... I know the struggle... Best Wishes...

Glad to have you aboard! I love to get out there... I got so many places to visit! I just started my channel in January 2023 but I just want to make enjoyable videos for people like yourself. If you got a place within 200 miles of Las Vegas and would like to see it then email me at [email protected] Thank you very much.

@@inbwanderer will do!!!!!🖤

I went as a kid as well and half a dozen since then. It has not hardly changed, just the buildings have gotten older. I supposed that is what gives it a certain charm is that it just feels familiar. I was glad they got a campground now with showers, full hookups and cabins it made it so much more enjoyable.

Well Thomas, I did some research and turns out those gates belong to the new owner is Adrenaline Mountain www.adrenalinemountain.com/ they bought the land to a few mines in the area. They made a off road adventure playground out there for the tourists for Las Vegas. Those gates are there for safety reasons to keep people from stumbling into the off road courses that they zip down the trails. I reached out to them and they said I could come and visit the mine just need to fill out a waver before hand and check in at the main office. I will be back to follow up with that with a future video.

Thank you Lura for your very kind response, yes it does take a lot of time. I was going to shoot random buildings around the town and such but I did research before hand and thought wow this is really interesting stuff and the video just kind of took on a life of it's own. That was my very first attempt at a documentary type style. While I wont always be doing history type documentary films I will be very compelled to do one sprinkled in with my other life projects I will be working on. Just simply skip the videos that are of boring little ol me LOL. History was never something I was interested in as a kid but as I got older it has been something I have taken a serious interest in. I grew up in Northern California just minutes from where gold was first discovered in California... so many interesting places, mines, and locations I will probably never see again. If you know any locations or places you would like to see in a future video shoot me a email at [email protected] and I will make it a point to visit those places (within 3 hours of Las Vegas Nevada). I will of course get better with time and refine my skills as a content creator which is all part of the journey. Finally having just one person out there like yourself out there makes me extremely happy to shoot and produce accurate videos! Very Best Wishes

Yep they are, no doubt about that.

I would Imagine someone would be out there with a pry bar trying to get a "replica spike" if people knew the exact spot... there is a history people were stealing the darn big blue history marker sign that Nevada puts up that you saw in the video.

I looked up shorthorn at the chuckwagon on google found a chuckwagon at the Longhorn... bighorncasino.com/chuckwagon-restaurant-nv.html . Will be going there in the future. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hey Robert, I was all over the town and did not see one...

Daggett seem like a quite little mining town. I know they had a huge stamp mill there back in the day to capture all the ore coming out of Calico and the other mines. Might have to do a video about that town in the future.

Correct on that Lu, thanks

Yep... a lot of voice over work Didn't think it was going to take the whole week to edit the darn thing 😆

Thank You Kristina...I can only get better LOL

Thank You... much appreciated.

Went out and bought the game after visiting the town, one of my favorites!

That’s why I went there. Food was good

Wow, interesting and bizarre backstory... Like how they passed the root cellar off as a mine for the tourists at least.

Yes indeed!

Right on... don't think it's changed too much since then, lol.

Is it still in business today?

Being the railroad was not being used because of the mines production went away the owners were eger to recap evey last bit of money they sold off the rails, ties, locomotive and large pieces equiptment equiptment.

Thanks, good luck with you as well. Keep me posted with the outcome.

Exactly, oops mess up...New Vegas LOL. it was a PC Game and was released on October 10, 1997, in North America for MS-DOS and Windows. The game was later released for Mac.

LOL, yea easy pickings on those backroads... seen them out there before.
