Absolutely another great video💯. Thanks Doug and Kellie for taking us along to poinsettia mine site. Nevada is such a beautiful state..👍😊

[@CalNeva]

@@maverick4080 Thank you Maverick, we are blessed to live in such a beautiful country! 🌄🇺🇸🌲

The Poinsettia Mine is one of the best videos yet! Very interesting background about this site. The appreciation for your subscribers that you gave at mail call was very nice. We appreciate the time, effort and research you and Kelli do to bring such quality content to your channel. Keep up the good work!!

[@CalNeva]

@@jennifertriplett6149 Thank you Jennifer, it's our subscribers like you who give us the encouragement we need to keep on keeping on! 🤠🇺🇸👋

[@dannyparker1542]

Always look forward to see what kind of cookies Kellie has baked for your hikes.

[@CalNeva]

@@dannyparker1542 The caroway seed cookies are the best! 🍪🥇

[@sueannhawkes]

Looks interesting poking around that old Ghost town.

[@CalNeva]

@@sueannhawkes Hi Sueann, the whole area near there is fascinating. 👋

I will ask my cousin Frances who lives in Gabbs if she remembers Vet Baxter. She has lived there since the 1950's. I've seen Pilot Cone several times on my visits to Gabbs. My dad, uncle, father-in-law and I took a drive to Rawhide in 1985 and the stone jail was still there. We were on a 3 day prospecting trip. Thank you for the tour of the Poinsettia Mine. I really enjoyed it.

[@CalNeva]

@@CharlieA-q4y Hi Charlie, please do...we love to add more info to our stories and enjoy your comments concerning our area. Happy you enjoyed our trip.

Hi Brother Doug and Kellie 👋. A very appropriately named place to visit close to Christmas! I sure was surprised when you opened up that box to find booze !! Not what I was expecting at all. By the way, that was "my" raven following you around up there 😀. Tell Kellie I love almond cookies 🍪! Three cabins..I figure one for you Brother, one for me, and one for Kellie and Gloria when they come to visit us, lol 😆. It was fun as always Brother! 🇺🇸

[@CalNeva]

@@Brother_D_therail Hey Brother D, you let your pet ravens out of their cage again...we could hardly get rid of those rascals. They are so smart I am surprised they didn't find the booze before we did. I think your cabin setup is perfect: 1 for U, 1 4 Me, and the other for the ladies (when they come to visit us). It was a great refreshing day! 🇺🇸🍪🤠🐎

[@carltonwilliams6877]

Excellent video doug, thank you

[@CalNeva]

@@carltonwilliams6877 Welcome Carlton, it was our pleasure.

[@josephbingham1255]

Beautiful and quiet country. Looks like the off roaders that visit Poinsettia pack out their trash. If you have time you might count how many times Kellie agrees with everything you say

[@CalNeva]

@@josephbingham1255 Ha Joseph, that is so funny...but I prefer it that way! 🤠🤣

[@rhondaz356]

After hiking up that ruggedly awesome, but pretty desolate trail, you both earned that healthy lunch.😋😋👏🏻 It looks like the boy scouts, and others, like both of you, who visit the cabins, keep them as clean as possible.🎉 Thank you for the pictures of the cabins in their heyday, and that interesting info that you and Kellie shared with us, including the original purposes of the Poinsettia Mines, and the man associated with them.🤗👏🏻 I'm glad that the mines are safe proof, or I guess that the scouts wouldn't have stayed there. The view of the ghost town from up above shows how isolated it is, in that expansive, rugged area. I would have loved to see the saloon in its prime. That stash was a find.😉 It seems that most people try to keep the place in good order.🎊 YIKES, an unmarked grave... ***This was certainly an informative, interesting, and enjoyable video, Doug and Kellie, as always. Those are cool gifts.👏🏻👏🏻🤗 I didn't realize that almond cookies are a symbol of good luck.🤔🤗

[@CalNeva]

@@rhondaz356 Hi Rhonda! It is refreshing to find another outdoor spot that is respected and cared for, and enjoyed by so many over the years (Vet would be proud). I tried to give everyone a sense of the solitude and expanse of this remote area. I think walking in a place like this is a good way to experience and to share it. I hope I was able to communicate that with someone like you from New England, so that you can experience other areas of our great and beautiful country. We are starting to have some fun with the "Cookie Clips" as Kellie is getting into baking all types of new cookies every week that include a short back story. Brrrr, it was 18 this morning, I imagine the snow is coming your way this time of year. Hope your family stays warm! 🥇🙏🤠🇺🇸❄️☃️

[@rhondaz356]

@CalNeva Doug, you definitely achieved your goals, as you always do.👏🏻 Yes, those of us from other parts of the country, or world, can respect, "visit", learn about, and appreciate some of these interesting, FANtastic, unique, and beautiful areas of our country that we may never see, in person. I feel like you, and often Kellie, are like our tour guides, on these journeys. BTW, you deserve those delicious cookies, Doug and Kellie, also. I second that Brrr. 🏡🙏🏻🎊👏🏻👏🏻😅

[@CalNeva]

@rhondaz356 Thank you Rhonda! I don't know when I will be on the Mohawk Trail again, but your forests are very pretty. ☃️🌲🍁🪵🌧️

[@dannyparker1542]

Doug love your videos that you and Kellie are producing. I have been out to Poinsettia twice by Jeep and many other mines around the Hawthorn area. Have you guy's been to the Cabin under the rock? Always look forward to your next adventure.

[@CalNeva]

@@dannyparker1542 Hi Danny, appreciate that! The Cabin Under the Rock has been on our adventure list for awhile, thank you for reminding us. 🪨🏕️

[@1d1ane]

Great hike, interesting location. - All the Best in the New Year.

[@CalNeva]

@@1d1ane Thank you, you too Steve; I am predicting a good one.

[@1d1ane]

@CalNeva - i'm inclined to believe ya, Nostredouglas.

[@clydeneclinger5888]

Many people have stayed there. A western band used the camp site .

[@CalNeva]

@@clydeneclinger5888 I find that so interesting; thank you for sharing that.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

You both are such awesome adventurers! It's nice the weather was good, it looked beautiful out there! That is a long way to walk in the desert! Nice look at the mining area! Cookies and mail call awesome 🎉

[@CalNeva]

@@nationalparksprincess3216 It was really pleasant weather. Storms now inbound. 🤠

[@indexoptionstrading]

Id like to visit here and have some beer.. very nice

[@CalNeva]

@@indexoptionstrading I think it would be the perfect spot for you to unwind. 🤠

[@hestheMaster]

The cabins are a little rough but of course city slicker me wouldn't stay there overnight. Would be a nice 4X4 car camping place if so inclined. Nice to find some history of the mine there at the county museum. You found the booze stash locker! Those crystals you found look like muscovite but I'm no expert on minerals. Great viewer gifts. Thanks for an amazing video again Doug and Kellie. Did you feel that earthquake yesterday afternoon? Centered in Yerington, NV and it was a magnitude 5.8! It was a strike- slip fault and most of the energy was to the sw and ne of it. I'm betting you didn't feel it.

[@CalNeva]

@@hestheMaster Hi Steve! In fact I was at my desk downloading the video clips to edit for this video at the exact moment the quake hit and had to stay at my laptop so I didn't lose them. The window and wall were really shaking. Luckily no damages or injuries, HalleluYah. A neighbor came running across the street yelling for me, but I couldn't leave what I was doing (thus we have this video). It was a moderate quake. I opine there could be a big quake in CA soon. The mineral crystals were very soft, so perhaps they are gypsum, but still looking into it. Stay warm my friend.

[@kelliezuniga7481]

I look really small from the top of the mountain!

[@CalNeva]

@@kelliezuniga7481 That's because the mountain was big and you ARE small.

[@caseyhansen4567]

Ranger Doug and deputy cookies Kellie.i would join that posse..I would sleep there too.thanks for cabin tour.i had to put my stormy kromer to watch this video😅

[@CalNeva]

In a world of terrible things …nothing but net!!!(basketball term). Thank you Doug and Kelly! My offer still stands for dinner at the best steak 🥩 house in Hawthorne for both of you. Should be there in January or February. 😃 Best Always! Carl

[@CalNeva]

@@Cojiii1959 Hi Carl, we will just have to accept that offer! Gemmetro@ Gmail.com

[@TimT-um6rt]

I dont know,it might be a little too down town for me with that piano and all At any rate, it never ceases to amaze me how vast and wonderfully remote central Nev. is! There cetainly are the hardy partyers out and about! That lure for good gold is a powerful force,I also dont like climbing down deep shafts now! I guess back then if the gold was high grade it would be tempting! Great you had good weather! Dec. gets brutally cold out there!

[@CalNeva]

@@TimT-um6rt Hi Tim, it was a fun time tramping around uptown Poinsettia.

[@soonerjhtravels]

Nice Doug & Kellie! Very cool to see an intact root sellar! but that hidden stash in the chicken coup, lolol! Are those crystals gypsum with selenite? Very well done, thanks.

[@CalNeva]

@@soonerjhtravels Hi John, I thought so also a good find on the intact root cellar. They could be gypsum with selenite...the Mors hardness is probably a 1 or 2.

[@johncraig7823]

Wonderhussy has been there before!

[@CalNeva]

@@johncraig7823 It is well visited John.

[@TimT-um6rt]

Probably still some dry placer out there! Thats why that Canadian co. Claimed alot of that vicinity up!

[@CalNeva]

@@TimT-um6rt Probably, our Canadian neighbors are good at finding the good stuff.

[@DebbieSanchez]

Gavin comment was not good.

[@CalNeva]

@@DebbieSanchez I encounter a lot of people in my travels who said they left California because of him; he must be extremely unpopular. 🇺🇸✌️

@CalNeva he is a good Governor. I left to retire after 42 years in Real Estate. Just was a let down at the end of your video. Carry on.
