Ghost Towns - Yosemite Nature Notes - Episode 25

Sitting on the crest of the Sierra Nevada, Tioga Pass is a gateway to Yosemite's past. In 1880, a gold and silver rush erupted here, and miners flocked to Tioga Hill in droves.
Today, the ghosts of these miners work can be seen in the stone walls of Dana Village,rusty machinery at Bennettville, and the log cabins of the Golden Crown Mine. Even today's popular Tioga Road was once a simple wagon road built to access the wealth of minerals that were never found.

I actually visited Dana Village back in 2012. It is a cool site with a few remaining remnants of buildings and some caved in mine shafts.

Great vid guys.

"Please allow me to introduce myself..." The drum opening for these videos is the same as the Rolling Stones 'Sympathy for the Devil'. This one cleverly inserts the squawk of a crow where Mick Jagger starts his "ah, ah" squawk. Has anyone commented on this before?

We have actually been to parts of Dana Village and Bennettville and a couple other isolated partial cabins. This was a good first western.

So happy Yosemite use a piece of Guqin music, really fantastic.

[@michaelcerda5514]

When can I move in

[@velociraptor68]

The music is a respectable copy of Ry Cooder music, from the movie "Paris, Texas". At least that's my opinion. I welcome anyone to correct me.
