Was so cool to see Goffs Schoolhouse! And then my Grandpas portrait (a glimpse of it on the wall ) My Grandpa rescued the schoolhouse from rubble and made it his home…he hand dug water lines from the railroad tracks to the schoolhouse by hand…in his 60s!! They sold it in the early 90s to the friends of the Mojave when they needed to move closer to medical care for his wife. He had gardens and his corrrals and round pens out back where he broke horses for area ranchers…. I have memories of him on the porch at the schoolhouse playing his fiddle in the evening… Ty for the joy you gave me w that glimpse !!

There are many of those cabins scattered across the deserts in CA and NV. Many were part of mining claims. They are on government land and usually maintained by volunteers, many times off road or Jeep groups. It's customary to raise the flag when you are staying there so that others know they are inhabited. We've been to some that were well stocked with extra full propane tanks, hot water, solar battery setups ETC . You can tell that many take pride in maintaining and upgrading these historic cabins. I caught the slip up on the road, but didn't think it was worth worrying about. Thanks for watching!
