. No, I wasn't trespassing. The original owner abandoned these cars on this property many years ago, and now the current property owner allowed me to take a look around! Check this stuff out!

Silas, that '70s GMC motorRv, in just running condition,is worth between 10k and 30 k. It has a Tornado front wheel drive system w/ a Olds 455 engine. Grab It!!! The glass, is worth thousands!!

[@christophersielski1388]

Silas, I enjoy the exploration videos of abandoned areas. Like you, I ponder the history and the lives and times of people maybe long gone now. Sad to see, but there is much of it across the country.

[@jenni4568]

This is so neat to see part of the country that otherwise be forgotten!!! Thank you!!

[@brianthompson6772]

Loved it!

[@kevinallen8162]

Enjoyed this video so very much. My guess is that the brick school was a WPA project from the Great Depression era. During my career teaching high school, I taught in several WPA project schools with features very similar to that school. The large post rock/limestone farmhouse brought back great memories of my first teaching assignment in Osborne County Kansas. That GMC motorhome was one of the few production Motorhomes to have front wheel drive - it featured the Oldsmobile Toronado front wheel drive system with the 455 cubic inch V8 and 425 TurboHydramatic transmission/axle assembly.

[@VermontPaintandPhoto]

This is one of my favorite videos from you. The old town is a memory that at one time was the center of someone world. very nice. Love old cars but history is in life that was lived not things...those builds are still alive now because of you..Thank you

[@martinc591]

I absolutely love old junkyard walk around videos.

[@blakeeubank4520]

I envy you so much. I always wanted to be a junk yard man. When I was younger I lived out in Arizona and we had such good junk yards. I loved going out and just walking through them and seeing all the good old cars and parts.

[@howardjohnson6189]

There’s simply no way to explain the joy and contentment of walking through a junkyard to those who can’t imagine what would be so appealing to it. I can completely relate to your pleasure and all the other sentiments and imagination ms that that apply.

[@frankm8533]

Cool walk around id love to do that weekly A family member has old property like that was in our family since the civil war my uncle is the last relative there hes 71 now but he sold everything off 5 years ago tons of vehicles in the woods middle of nowhere. Thanks for filming Silas

[@kevinclark4369]

I like all your videos, BUT the ones like this, where you are out exploring, are my favorote! Please do more like this, and provide updates if you cme back and buy something and film the trip thee and back! Thanks!

[@janblake9468]

I like everything you do but the explorations are my favorite. It seems that the property was a good chunk of the small town. It's very sad to me that small towns are fading away. At least the windows of the limestone house and the church buildings weren 't broken. The size of the school indicates a prosperous town in the past.The Ford Econoline pickup is very desireable. If you return for a vehicle, I hope you can film more of the buildings.

[@toddschena6746]

These are my absolute favorite videos abandoned explorations. Drone footage awesome!! Great job!!

[@oldenslo4141]

I enjoyed this video, thank you. The old school building was interesting, I"m glad you found the front entrance with the walk. I can imagine the green front lawn with a few nicely trimmed trees, kids hanging around out front being kids, yelling and screaming. The cars and trucks laying around for years and years. The entire place is kind of a time capsule.

[@ohmike813]

Your lead photo made me smile! My first running car was a 1963 Ford Econoline van, brings back a lot of memories.

[@tjt1992]

My dad bought a ford econoline pickup brand new in 1961, just like the one you showed, it was light green, he drove it until 1967 when he bought a new 1967 Ford F-100. Had a lot of good memory’s in both trucks.

[@claytondewey3367]

I really enjoy these videos. Real interesting to see what's being recorded and the other things in the background.

[@terrencebuller7676]

Hello Silas, great show, really like the walk around, lot of cool auto's. My favorite was the Econoline pickup, I have a 62, fun truck to drive. Again great program, take care and be good. 👍

[@johnje4285]

I always watch your videos for your interesting posts and of course the cars. However this time I prefer the town. Why is is abandoned? It looks as though it could be restored. The countryside around is gorgeous. I would convert the school to live in as I love the architecture. Secondly I would restore the stone house which is beautiful. We just don't have abandoned places like that in England

[@rdclark7480]

Hello FROM OKLAHOMA MY WIFE AND I enjoy your adventures!!

[@machinist5828]

Mostly the reason is economics. All these little towns were born to service the small farms and ranches. As the economy dynamics changed it became less profitable to keep a small farm alive. Being so far from major markets it cost so much to get your goods to market it just didn't make sense. Then add manipulation of grain and stock prices by the government it's often futile. You cut your losses, leave what you can't haul behind and head to more populated areas where there are jobs that pay enough to feed your family. Most of these towns are inhabited by old timers on fixed incomes that don't rely on commerce to live. Once they are gone, the farm or town just fades away. From time to time you can buy one of these little towns and be your own mayor, fire chief and post master. At least you don't have far to deliver your own mail........ Cheers Terry

[@Mercmad]

@@machinist5828 Australia has gone through the same thing with too much government social engineering leading to towns dying slowly. Theres a good YT channel where a guy travels outback Australia in his toyota troop carrier (troopie to us ) doing Ag contracting.

[@johnje4285]

@@machinist5828 Thank you Terry for your informative and humorous reply. John, in Suffolk, England

[@urbanurchin5930]

Brought back a childhood memory for me. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, an old brick school building in my town was being torn down. I remember, my mom and my two brothers and me all went to the site and scavenged a bunch of the old bricks. It was a lot of hot and dirty work for kids to be doing - but, we loaded up the family station wagon and took a bunch of the bricks home. Then, came the chore of cleaning them - one by one - knocking off all the old mortar. Eventually, we had them all cleaned, cleared an area outside of our back porch and laid them down and made a nice patio. The patio remained until the day I left for the military and further until my parents sold the house. I wonder if it still there ??

[@aliceevans3357]

I absolutely love the drone footage. Love being able to look out over the country side. So many country sides are disappearing into cookie cutter, too cheaply built, too expensive houses.- ugly. I so enjoy this type of videos, I loved getting out in areas like this, exploring and trying to imagine what the area looked like in it's heyday. Please know that I appreciate all that it takes to create content and present it so we can tag along with you. So many folks for one reason or another can't do this. Gosh it makes a day more exciting. Always look forward to seeing your videos. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@keric4812]

I love the farm finds and very old car finds

[@beaverc2884]

I'm amazed at how new the bricks looked on the old school. I really enjoy these types of videos, thank you 😊

[@lewishale1160]

I like seeing the old towns, cars, farm stuff and other junk.

[@gregcromer8406]

Those types of communities sprung up throughout Kansas in the late 19th Century. Many collapsed during the 1930s depression era and never recovered. They hung on through the 1950s with main buildings such as a community center, post office, school, and a church. Their death spiral was beyond recoverable. People moved to the nearest commercially viable town, such as their county seat, where prospects where much better.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Like the design elements on the brick school building. There are several Ford Econoline pickups in the SFV. All of them are showstoppers. PS - we have nothing like that old village in SoCal so please make more videos of a piece of America that is fading away.

[@garyparrill9471]

Love seeing these remote abandoned lots, they are quickly becoming a thing of the past. GREAT VIDEO Silas! That Econoline Pickup should be the 1.

[@sonnymoon9851]

I certainly appreciate your sacrifice to make this type of video. I find all of your videos interesting and enjoy watching them all.

[@joseph4156]

The flyover was the best part. It showed what was a small town from by gone times. History of America 🇺🇸.

[@normanswake7152]

Thank you Silas! You captured a part of yesterday. The Econoline "I didn't spell it right" looks like the best pick.👍

[@carmomicheleta520]

Please more of these beautiful vids. The Drone-takes are mindblowing. Thanx

[@jonvandaal5672]

Yes, please do some more long distance exploring Silas. Wonderful to see these type of Adventures.

[@suewatson1912]

That old school looks like a great place to metal detect. When you go back to pick up that cool econoline truck bring your detector with you.

[@rogerleslie4282]

Silas just keep on doing all your doing. Cheers 🇦🇺……..

[@mudderman8620]

I like history and old buildings, old cars and old vehicles. So keep doing what you are doing. Be safe and happy hunting.

[@robertjean659]

You got me at the econoline pickup. 5 window model too, tailgate if it has it is worth a fair bit. Be well worth grabbing that. I just shipped one to Australia. Know your busy but these vids are cool to watch. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

[@waltergolston6187]

Memories galore were called up with this. I grew up out in nowhere. At one time a successful Farmer was knowable by the fruit trees and such planted around the homestead, did the house and outbuildings have paint, and was everything kept up with. The local township had a modern school and the Church(s) were attended. A good Feed, seed and hardware, as well as a dry goods and staples general store.

[@brian56]

Silas, that old school is great place to go metal detecting. I have found good stuff at old schools

[@StrawberryShawtcake]

Thank you for the time u spent going up there and walking through the woods and fields taking all the pictures i really liked seeing all the old cars and houses even the church n school..

[@normabrawner4881]

You got some great footage there. Just love watching your videos keep them coming. And thanks for taking the time to share with all of us.

[@ronosga4391]

These type of videos are great, I always look at the vehicles that you refer to as pretty rusted out, being in Michigan those vehicles are considered solid. They pretty much turned the state into a tourist economy, so all the old cars are long gone and the few yards left have had so much trouble they won't let anyone in, so it's nice to see what is out there.

[@abeneufeld9690]

I enjoyed watching you walk thru and comment on the old cars, lots of history in that farmyard , more videos like this please

[@marcpavlik8776]

I have to say I agree with most others here, these are great videos and as long as you can physically get around I hope you can keep doing them. I'm unable to get around physically and financially so I travel through people like you. The Econoline pickup is my favorite hands down in the cars and the church is the favorite structure of the rest. I have to agree, going to church twice on Sunday and once for Bible study on Wednesday is not crazy, it's barely enough. Most people wouldn't dream of being with their family for only a few hours on three days a week, yet 5 or 6 hours a week with our Savior seems too much to them. I feel sorry for them. Thanks for the videos and thanks for letting people know that Jesus is of great value to you and is worth spending time with.

[@terrypletka2724]

All your videos are awsome do what u want I'll keep watching every video

[@bobbydavenport8941]

Old ambulances are another thing I'm into 1960's , 70's and 80's

[@richardjulien8745]

Hi Silas,the motorhome that you,ve showed us with the weird suspension have been made by generals motors between 1972 to 1978,somes were called eleganza,.they are very desirable.but expensive on maintenance,most of them were using the 454 cu in motors .thank you Silas for the nice video with the nice shot with the drone ,keep the good work from Richrd in canada.

[@ronaldhuff635]

actually it does NOT use a 454, but olds toronado front wheel drive with a 455, thank you silas,

[@douglaswiggins1810]

Yes it's good trip very good show 👍

[@josephacerra5987]

I am liking all the stuff your doing it is a nice mix of adventure💯👍 Thanks for sharing

This is a great channel! Great content . I wouldn't be surprised if major network might pick you up! Please just be careful of the shocks! Again fantastic channel keep it coming!

[@urbanurchin5930]

......what happens when a major network picks you up ?? ......you lose all of your creative control and must start bowing down to what the sponsors want.....not cool....

[@intrepide2004]

This is a very interesting video . Keep making them when you can . When I see these videos it make think of the same thing you do . Happy times that were had in these towns . Try not to let these towns be forgotten. Your effort is worth it . It is a shame it has become a throw away society

[@barbfrank917]

Thanks Silas, I'm 71 and enjoying this immensely. Beautiful area, Kansas must have some obsolete little towns for you to search. What a good friend you are to drive all that way to pick up that car. Blessings 🥰🙏

[@terrencegiordan2775]

Love when you walk around and show us videos those places are slowly disappearing.

[@danno3497]

Silas, You are doing exactly what the name of your channel is! Doing what you like to do and Going out and finding an adventure! I like to explore old towns, buildings etc. myself! I don't think we always want it to be crunching cars!

[@larrydecoste3363]

Thanks for taking us along Silas.

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

I’m 76 and live in Oregon. Been to Kansas only once when traveling from Ft. Benning GA. To Oregon 1967. I’ve never seen such flat land. Totally different than what I grew up in. It seems like there are many long forgotten abandoned towns or villages in those states. Land and home prices are so outrageous here in the NW that if I was younger I’d look into moving there. Here in Portland, OR an average building lot is $100,000.00 or more in most cases. And tgat only enough to build a house and have a garage on.

[@jerrysgoodstuff280]

Loved it from beginning to end. Hope you do more.

[@richardwarnock2789]

Sounds great Fun video!

[@rogerringer7066]

That motorhome is a really nice riding camper. The suspension on it is unique.

[@abeneufeld9690]

I loved the drone shots, beautiful scenery from the air with the green fields and grain fields

[@martinwarner1178]

Best piece is on the church, cars and your commentary. Keep up the good work. Peace be unto you.

[@howardjohnson6189]

“…see what the Lord has to say…”!! Best, and most real, comment in your video. Everything you’re filming will all pass away one day but “the Word of the Lord will endure forever and ever”!! Good job sharing your fun, passion, and joy! Glad I stumbled across your video….so refreshing in all of today’s craziness….liked and subscribed.

To find a early model Econoline Pu is really rare. around a 1960 model

If more people went to church twice on Sunday's this country might be better off. Love your videos

[@debralopez9185]

I LOVE old cars, & trucks something my Dad shared with me growing up in the 40's my LOVE for automobiles came thirty years after my Dad!! ❤😁 Recently lost my Dad he wanted to see the James Bond Collection in Los Angeles my Mom didn't want me to take him!! 😔 My Uncle when I was eight I was dropped off in valley for a few days at a time he owned a repair chop working on Classic Muscle Cars from 60's!! I want a Camaro from First Generation !! 😁

Love it Silas. Do it if you can. I’ll watch it every single time. 😊👍👍

The Drone adds another dimension taking your videos to another level. Love to see the car and trucks out in the wild. Keep up the good work. And hey you deserve a day off work, even if you don't get paid!! The Uk car was probably MG MGT

[@timhanson2080]

I like the videos of farm clean ups. Thanks 👍

[@jeffchapman5742]

Absolutely love this video. Not many old structures and places like that left in South Carolina. My mama loved exploring places back in the 70's and 80's. My first school was built back in the 1890's. Antreville Elementary South Carolina. It's still standing today, pictures of it online too.

[@libertysgarage8411]

I could explore places like this all day! That old tandem axle GMC motor home is really cool! I understand those do have a bit of a following.

[@Mr_Everyman]

@01:12 "I'm not supposed to touch anything..... @02:36 "oh it's locked"..... Love you man, I would be in the same situation! I can hear my father to my 5yo self "we look with our eyes, not our hands" LOL, memories are also a cool adventure we get to go on every time we watch your content, THANK YOU!

[@billevans2312]

Tough choices. I like the Econoline in the thumbnail. The ambulance is cool and I like the 65 Ford F250

[@JohnSmith-gr8kh]

Please don’t stop your adventure videos …I find them extremely entertaining especially the drone footage…thank you Silas
