Creepy Abandoned Mining Hospital

[@stevesaldarriaga9148]

You're so so awesome I don't know how you come up with these stories but there awesome &so are you

[@jerrymorton5382]

In 1966 dad and I questioned the mine Watchman who lived in the house next to the 'hospital'. We were getting info on a mine belonging to a friend of dad's who mined near there in the 1930's, which we found! It's mind boggling how many times we have crossed paths Sarah, and how similar our interests are.

Hey love it. I do remember Budget Tapes and Records, that is from the 70's. KBPI was the most popular Rock radio station in the Denver area 70's and 80's. Very cool Sarah Jane. Thanks and stay safe out there!!!!

You have just put on the web one of the greatest vlogs I have ever seen! Content, delivery, If Discovery, Nat Go, does not sign you up they have their heads up their asses! AWESOME!

[@renleanne3804]

That machine in the room with the medical table is an old Autoclave used to sterilize surgical equipment. Really cool video. I used to visit that area when I lived in Colorado for awhile.

[@TheEZGZ]

You are correct. I worked in a hospital and had to repair those.

[@joelmccaman6324]

I love your story s

[@zimbabs]

Girl, ya need to wear leather hiking boots out thur! Flip flops!? Yikes!

[@bunnygaffney2765]

Yes an autoclave.

[@judyburkett9319]

I have been to that area many times, but have never gone into the buildings. Thanks for the tour and even the story about Jimmy Dickens. I enjoyed this video very much.

[@miscbs]

Go over Black Bear Pass! It is beautiful! I used to take my '84 4-Runner over it all the time when I lived there 20 some years ago. The lack off trees doesn't always mean harm to the environment due to mining. The area you pointed that you thought was damaged by mining is just treeless due to low soil, steep angles ,and you are getting close to tree line (altitude where trees just don't grow). Mining damage, which is rampant up there, is usually in lower areas where gold would collect, very rocky, zero soil, and zero plant life. Thanks so much for a blast to my past!

[@terriec808]

The area where the trees stop is called the "timberline" and its because of the altitude

[@miscbs]

@@terriec808 From wikipedia "The tree line is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. It is found at high elevations and high latitudes. Beyond the tree line, trees cannot tolerate the environmental conditions (usually cold temperatures, extreme snowpack, or associated lack of available moisture). The tree line is sometimes distinguished from a lower timberline or forest line, which is the line below which trees form a forest with a closed canopy."

[@terriec808]

@@miscbs I grew up in Silverton which is San Juan County in the San Juan mountains..Just over the mountain there where wh was. Everyone called where the trees stop the TIMBERLINE

[@miscbs]

@@terriec808 I know it is San Juan County. I know the San Juan mountians. I know Silverton. I grew up there too. I used to get $25 season pass to Purgatory ski resort when I was a kid and rode the Alpine slide there in the summer. I loved to hike Cascade Creek. Imogine and Ophir passes are still my favorites drives.

[@terriec808]

@@miscbs what year were you there? I broke my ankle on a PE field trip to Purgatory in grade school. George Pastor was the PE teacher back then. He was quite the hard ass drill sargent. He was one of a kind. My dad worked in the last mine that supported Silvertons economy til it closed. It's not the same now... Nothing is the same now... Good memories

KBPI 106 was a Denver based rock-n-roll radio station that I started listening to in the 1980's. They changed to 107. I still listen to KBPI.

[@boblw1960]

I love how you come up with a complete story for the place that you explore I love your videos they are the best

[@garymcginnis3099]

Sorry to be so late to the show. I think the large stainless steel cylindrical shaped stainless steel machine next to medical bed was an autoclave sterilizer. Anytime you see a cylindrical device think of pressure. Another great video in an area I have been do yet these buildings were never seen. Thank you Wunderhussy GPM

[@001desertrat3]

That rack with the narrow slots (behind the hospital bed, in the first building you went in) is for charging the Batteries on Miners Cap Lamps. The Battery goes in the slot & the Cap Lamp clips onto the little bracket below the slots and makes the electrical contact with the charger. - < Doc, Retired. Miner for nearly 50 years. > .

[@stonedsavage7814]

001DesertRat did you ever use a carbide lamp?

[@001desertrat3]

@@stonedsavage7814 -- YES , I've used a few . The last one that I had , I purchased myself , it was one of the newer models that had the three different sized & shaped reflectors , depending on whether you wanted a Flood , Combination , or Spot Beam . I'd only had it for about 6 months when somebody decided they needed it worse than me , and stole it out of my locker at work (yeh , they broke the lock) .

KBPI - started at 105.9 MHz in Denver on June 21,1965. Owner/manager was Bill Pierson, who named KBPI for Bill Pierson Incorporated. It featured progressive rock and was sold in 1974 to Progressive Broadcasters, Inc.

[@michaelmallard1039]

Hi Wonderhussy! I am a big fan ! Your videos are so interesting! I did recognize the wrecked up car in this video was a 1972 Ford LTD Brougham. Always look forward to your neat adventures! Thanks so much!! 😀😀😀

[@hestheMaster]

Her early poking around old places in the mountains or deserts are really awesome. The whitewash is used to preserve the buildings so they don't rot away so easily from rain and snow. Love those fictitious stories she makes up. What an imagination! Keep it up woman. This is great stuff.

[@jonfairchild8531]

The quality of your videos is wonderful. Keep up the good work.

[@jackiem8420]

Little Jimmy Dickens was a real guy. He was actually a country singer. Great story Wonder Hussy! I love the mountain views in this little establishment.

[@ALRRC2010]

Watching this 5 yrs later. LOL! I had those chairs with the wicker backs with an octagon glass wood framed table back in the mid 80's. Brought back some memories. Love your channel.

Ford LTD Brougham 1971 or 72. Always wanted to go thru those buildings! Love your videos!!

[@ekummel]

What's really cool is that if you go into Silverton, you can rent 4Wheelers and zoom through all the mining trails up in the mountains there. It's a heck of a lot of fun. They give you rain coats for the inevitable rain you will encounter.

The plumbing and wiring looks kinda like it is fitted after the house was built. The homes have some features that look 1930's and some more modern stuff that was probably added later.

The clapboards are from the late 19th century to early 20th century.

Another great adventure video ... Thanks !

[@mobiltec]

Think about it. They most likely were doing something back in the 70s according to the records. These buildings were most likely used to support the people doing the reclamation work. Lockers, time cards, first aid station, kitchens and housing. It took quite a crew to clean up these mountains. And it probably went on for ten years or so. From the looks of the construction, windows and doors, I believe they were constructed in the 40s or 50s. The toilet dates are on the lids underneath. Sometimes stamped, sometimes molded.

In the hospital the first round thing with the gages on top was probably a sterilizer for things like surgical instruments and other items that needed to be clean. I've seen something similar that dated 1930.

[@kennysherrill6542]

I remembered this video from a few years ago, the hospital equipment was still there I was hoping there was something of use in the emergency we are dealing with now. Please check with the local athorities and see if anything can be salvaged. You know Rick's Restorations can fix anything.😁
