I could watch her all day. But spit my coffee out when she said “hot buns” and “look at that view” while taking a shower. Made my day

[@jerryburg6564]

Lol me too

They make my day, an absolute stunner! The cowboy boots kill me!

[@dethray1000]

do you thing she would have one viewer if she was fat,ugly? hell no

[@vph306]

Yeah, I think we're the ones who had the great view.

[@tonytee4633]

Hard to imagine this gal eating a banana without an upper lip!!!

[@ronfeldman4386]

Hot BUNS is right. It's amazing how you open your mind and try so many different outdoor activities. Gold panning, Wandering around Ghost towns, etc. People learn more with an open mind and something tells me that you will continually learn something new every day. Thanks for showing everyone your adventures

[@Lothramir]

Your voice allways sounds like when your with your best friend out on a mischief! I love it :) After ive read to many newspapers your videos can allways cheer me up! Your joy is truly infectious.

Jordon!! Thank you!!! Happy Sunday and thank you so much for stopping by to watch=)

[@alexs3447]

@@DrHannahStraight Ièll second that .

[@petertarantelli]

Good morning Dr. Hannah! Thank you for starting my day with me. Gold prospecting seems like it would be right up your alley and,apparently, it pays off! The mining town ‘recreation’ was really neat. I’m assuming the buildings were brought from different places and set up? The building that you thought might be a school house, I think that was printing press ‘stuff’ on the floor, so maybe a town newspaper? The funky chair seems like it’s set up to restrain someone with the hooks and pegs set up to bind someone around the chest and arms, maybe? Have a wonderful day 🤗 Oh, cowboy boots with the towel wrap, perfect!

[@DrHannahStraight]

Peter!! Good morning!! Yes they were brought together and now are arrested in time! The printing press makes sense and the restraints! maybe for the dentist!!😳

[@petertarantelli]

@@DrHannahStraight arrested in time, perfect analogy. Dentist, perhaps 🤔 and that reminds me, I need to schedule a cleaning 🦷

[@gogamma]

At 10:44 the room you couldn't identify looks lite where they printed the paper. That wooden box on the floor looks like a type setting box that they used to store the individual letters, numbers and symbols in. And on the left wall that looks like a Printing Press. What a fascinating historical place. Thanks for taking us on your journey.

[@bryanvargo5691]

Correct. The wooden box is called a California job case, which was a type case used to hold moveable type for letterpress printing. I remember having to memorize the location of where each letter was stored in the California job case back in my high school graphics arts class. Love the adventures and the videos!

[@Kens64chevelle]

Always a pleasure seeing your travels. Your bright spirit and positive outlook make any day better.

[@DrHannahStraight]

Thank you!!! Happy Sunday!!=)

[@raymonddimuzio5115]

Morning Doc! The building you could not identify, looks like a printers set of letters in the tray that was on the floor but none of the equipment in the place looked like a printing machine, unless it was really small. Maybe the town newspaper? Thanks for the outhouse tour! Two holes no waiting! No idea what the chair was for?! Have Fun, Doc!

[@DrHannahStraight]

hahaha glad you liked my corny outhouse joke=)

[@armandoramos1949]

So fun to watch you Dr. Hannah. Thank you for taking us along your adventures. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.

[@syd1279]

every time hannah is wearing the denim dress you know its outdoor cooking time😂😂

[@JonFoster48386]

At 10:43 you can see old letter press printing equipment. I got my start in commercial printing many years ago using the same type of equipment.

[@Mbarr10]

Best way to start the day with your videos Hannah. Your smile and positive attitude is infectious. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

[@prockfisherman8661]

Another great adventure. Thanks for taking us along.🙃

[@alanlunt]

At 10.47 you are looking at a frame with little square spaces that contain a font of lead type! It's called a California Job Case. It was used to make up columns of type that were inserted into a printing press and coated with thick gooey black ink. So this may have been a newspaper press room. After printing is completed, each little letter had to be cleaned and put back in the proper cubby hole for reuse. Each size of type needed a separate drawer in a huge cabinet. If you drop it on the floor, you're in for an all day job replacing hundreds of individual letters! Thank God and Microsoft for word processing software!

[@Primus54]

Hello Sprite! Thanks for my weekly fix of carefree adventures with Hannah. How do you find places like this ghost town that appears to be totally empty of other visitors?? See you next week! 👍👍👍 ~John

[@DrHannahStraight]

John!! Thank you so much for stopping by=) It can involve a lot of waiting😜

[@davidmeeks2405]

You had a wonderful view while taking a shower which in turn gave us a wonderful view. Ghost town was way Cool. I believe that the chair was just a chair but crafted out of some farm equipment. And pretty sure that the cages w/ little doors was for Carrier Pigeons.

[@DrHannahStraight]

sending some messages?😉

[@tomrussell2291]

The newspaper was often used as insulation. Also the building with the Divided boxes on the floor and ~10:40 is a printing press

[@DrHannahStraight]

Thank you!! I was scratching my head, could not figure out if it was a scale?! haha this makes much more sense!

[@Rightwave2]

All travels you make was beautiful ❤

[@brunnie]

Thank you Hannah. Very interesting quest for gold, hope you strike it rich. Loved the tour of the ghost town, it looks to be very well kept for tourists. Until next time... Travel safe.

[@KevinTraveler-rz4lb]

Hannah, you are amazing and so inspirational. I have loved watching your videos, listening to your thoughts, and gaining some knowledge on all of the things you have been exploring. Happy travels to you and thank you for helping to get me 'jump started' back to my goals in life. Sometimes we need a little push in life and you have been mine recently. Thank you. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Very cool video Hannah, and great looking burger thanks for taking us along added a like and FB share too. Have a blessed day.

[@DrHannahStraight]

Tom!! thank you

[@cpo7896]

Just to help out, if you want me to? The shop you didn't know (10:47 minutes) is the Print shop or maybe making the newspaper that box with all the little sections in it, it to hold the type(letters) to make the sentences, to make print set. OOPS, looks like the printing roller is broken there! Computers were made a few weeks later! Thanks for your shows Hannah

[@herbward5240]

Dr Hannah, I’m so jealous. What fabulous weather you are enjoying! Here on the Gold Coast in the Northeast, it is 30 degrees, and the wind chill is making me wish for another Indian summer. And the pics from a friend in Buffalo with their 80 inches of snow yesterday, … OMG ! Have fun panning for gold ! The van is awesome enjoy !

[@DrHannahStraight]

yess!! don't worry next video is muchhhhh colder, brrr🥶

[@tfrye008]

Chair looks similar in some aspects to an older mid century birthing chair, but usually they have holes versus hooks up top.. no idea there.

[@DrHannahStraight]

two comments for this and neveerrrr would have guessed that! they do look very similar when I look it up though!

[@jamesharris9352]

Next best thing... Put the pepples, dirt and gold flakes on a flat cotton rag and pull the gold flakes out of the dirt and pebbles with a pair of twezzers... 🤠👍

[@terrystrails566]

The chair was sometimes used in brofulls , for men who like to be tide up, and all sorts...great vid thanks .

[@MarkLewis07]

Lived up there until I was 19 in the valley, beautiful place but overrun with crime and tweakers, there are people who maintain the ghost town and you can even shop for antiques inside. I’m glad your enjoying your time there!

BTW, love your outdoor cooking setup as it gives you more room to bust out your groovy foodie dancing moves!😁 I think the chair might have been used to secure the town drunk in place and let him sober up! As you said, spirits were used in abundance back then and times haven't changed much!😁

Good Monday morning Dr. Hannah. Nice to see you again Angel. I watched this video yesterday on a large screen tv. My mother walked in and she saw that chair on that porch. She took a guess that the chair was a birthing chair from back in the day. Congrats on finding gold BTW.

Your cooking segment was great! 😂Shower segment awesome,two great views for the price of one!

[@user-nestornugpo]

Dr. Hannah Straight is the BEST👏👏👏

[@Deegz_Nuts]

A good hack for melting cheese on top a burger for example is really an old Diner trick. I use an old pot lid, squirt some water into your pan near the burger and cover quickly with lid. Wait a few seconds for the water to evapoarate and Voila, a perfectly steamed cheese burger. If you like onions but not raw , I dice a bit of onion and when raw I put in onto my burger under the cheese before I steam and the steaming/melting process perfectly cooks the onion by the time you assemble and eat the burger. That's another old Diner trick they used to do back in the day. I tell them to do my onions like that at 5 guys and they're always amazed.

[@dougtodd305]

Thank you Dr. ,great vid.

Hey Dr. Straight, best of luck in your panning prospects! It reminds me of my days back in the testing labs learning how to sieve stone and soils...BY HAND...argh! Very time consuming but also extremely rewarding. The ghost town defiantly hearkens back to a bygone era. Fantastic! The foodie segments are always a hit...I certainly enjoy a good burger! Thank you for sharing the adventures. Looking forward to more, stay safe out there, and have a happy Thanksgiving 🦃🎉! O'yeah, enjoy a little 🏈 too! LOL

yesss!! panning by hand, very time consuming but fun to see what you find in the end=) The ghost towns are my favorite, love seeing the history arrested in time. Happy Thanksgiving!! Don't know where the time goes!☺

[@XLC-zd8dn]

At 10:47 what you thought was a school house looked like a print shop. The divided box on the floor was for holding your type sets and the machine with the round plate was a small print press. At least that is what it looks like from the quick shot you took.

[@clintonwilkie8142]

[@toranzeisig4874]

at 10:44, I think that mystery room of yours, looks like a small printing press? The wooden thing on the floor looks like what they would store all the letters in. They'd line all the letters up on the press, slather it in ink, then press the paper on it. Boom. Maybe that's where they made all their "Wanted" posters??? Totally guessing, but that's where my mind went.

[@DrHannahStraight]

Makes sense!! Surprised I wasn't on one of the wanted posters😜hahaha

At 10:44 mark, the drawer on the floor with all the little compartments is a "printer's drawer". It would have held the metal letters for a printing press. The items on the table look to be the presses.

Late to the party, but great job with the panning.You found more gold in one trip? than I have in like 5.. If you get the swirl technique down, there will be nothing in the pan but black sand and gold. Good job!

[@fishingd67gil]

Another great video…thanks!!!

[@Goldenasteroid8]

My favorite classifier is a white plastic salad colonder with little square holes. I have used it for several years and works well. I use the little shovel to fill it over the pan and work out all the pebbles which aren't gold that big anyway. Then wash the sand and gold into the pan trying not to break the collander.

[@davidphelps]

Hannah and the pokie two of my favorite things.

[@280zjammer]

I'm always amazed by how many familiar places you visit. This was an exception. I have no idea where this was. I want to try your burger recipe. It's pretty standard for ingredients but there's something about the composition that is making me hungry. If it's a nine, I'm curious what a full ten would be.
