The "Winners" was the Sonoma Inn originally. My step father was the Auditor/Controller until 1957.. we then moved to Pacific Grove California, quite a change. Winnemucca was a very cool town. Often visited Paradise Valley. Back when it was legal (pre 1968) over the years we found hundreds of arrow heads up around Cottonwood Creek.

[@campoutwestus]

@@jeffhildreth9244 I bet it was like the wild West still back then. What adventures!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@campoutwestus Yup. Hunting for scorpions, throwing blasting caps in the Humboldt river to blow out the carp, picking choke cherries and pine nuts. Best story was standing inline with all the kids at the Sage Theater all day Saturday movies for a quarter. Next door was a bar.. On one of those Sat. we heard a huge ruckus/ sounded like a real fight with broken bottles and chairs and then comes an Indian flying out the door backwards with a knife in his belly.. I kid you not. This was the real deal.

@@jeffhildreth9244 wow!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@campoutwestus Welcome to Winnemucca, a balanced community. For everyone of the 13 brothels there was a church. I really miss that town given it still has some of that "charm". By the way,, about a mile up Water Creek there was Chief Winnemucca's winter camp ground on the right (west). Not only did we fine dozens and dozens of projectile points ( arrow heads ) I found a Spanish bridle. The local museum director, archeologist, confirmed it as being made around 1500. Alas, stolen from my collection along with other finds. Keep in mind the county was named after the famous German explorer Von Humboldt.

Nevada looks awesome, love the history. I’ve only been through once a long time ago and should get back and explore!

[@campoutwestus]

@@dad_wagon1976 there's so much to explore there, you'll love it. Best of all, you have it all to yourself! Thanks for watching!

[@earltaulbee3555]

Another great video! We loved Paradise Valley and looked at some property for sale there before we moved to Ely.

[@campoutwestus]

@@earltaulbee3555 really? I thought it was beautiful there. After we got home I learned about more places to see there so we may go back sometime. Thanks for the support!

[@htchevyii771]

Cool places! What an adventure.

[@campoutwestus]

@@htchevyii771 thanks! It's been a really interesting place to explore.

[@travelingRonman]

Love this kind of stuff. Old abandoned mining towns. Makes you wonder what they looked like in their heydey. I need to get back out west

[@campoutwestus]

@@travelingRonman I agree, it's fascinating that there were once thriving towns in these places. Thanks for watching!

[@forrestwinkle1896]

Another great video. I really like Winnamucca. I have a freind that used to live there. Alot of cool stuff around there.

[@campoutwestus]

@@forrestwinkle1896 that was my first time in Winnemucca and I really like it too.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Nevada is my favorite state (except Las Vegas and anything around Reno) Winnemucca was my favorite town. 3500 people when I lived there. Before it was called Winnemucca it was known as Frenchman's Ford.

[@campoutwestus]

@@jeffhildreth9244 we really liked Winnemucca and love Nevada in general. Thanks for watching.

[@motownXJdad9565]

another cool scenic video guys, Trey i just realized youre on short arms and drop brackets like me👍 that was my original plan when i owned my black 1990 Comanche which is probably why i dig yours so much

[@htchevyii771]

@@motownXJdad9565 I've had this thing so long that I think long arms barely existed, but they did, they were a fortune. The suspension is a hodgepodge of several different manufacturers parts, but works and rides well so I see no reason to change it. Thanks for watching!

Slumbering hills. The Jumbo Mine. It operated up into the 50's. We did a trip up there about 10 years ago. The mine pit itself.

[@campoutwestus]

[@CraigKoppel]

You two really go off the beaten path. I’m watching this with Gen and she said it looks like where Walt went to cook. Hopefully, you know what that’s from. Cool seeing all the old abandoned mining towns. Too bad you were not winners. 👍16

[@campoutwestus]

@@CraigKoppel 🤣 it wasn't that bad. Kinda cool, not many people visit these places way out here. Winning some dough would have been nice! Thanks for watching guys 👍

@campoutwestus You're welcome . Great idea BTW! We left it for the next visitors to stumble across.

Love your channel. Seeing people actually getting out, discovering these places. I'm only 64.. Spent years hanging out with old farts to do the same.

[@campoutwestus]

@@scottymac5174 thank you, we've never been the people that sit around at camp for days. Always want to see what there is to see anywhere we go. It seems like you've been to a lot of interesting places as well.

Clear Creek used to be a huge SRVA area when I was growing up as a kid. The reason why we went down there. They used to host National Enduro races down there, getting kicked out.by the BLM. "
