Grabtown, California: Deserted Shanty Town That Was Located On A Narrow Mountain Ridge

[@bayareableepers]

You're hitting all of the sites that I have been investigating as well, but for metal detecting. It might be cool to collaborate somehow. I appreciate your presentation style and explanations. Thanks for all that you do. Keep it up!

I used to work close by to Tunitas and the road I took went through part of Purissima which is a ghost town now

[@Anthroponeural]

Wow cool which area is the shanty / ghost town in?

[@KauaiboyRayce]

That entire trailsystem from skyline to HIggins Purisma is incredible. Always thought the name, "Grabtown Gulch" was hilarious. Now I know why!

Thank you for this great video. I grew up on Kings Mountain and my mother still lives there. There is a lot of history in the area, but please be respectful of both private property and rules regarding the open space preserves. The property on the other side of the bridge over Tunitas Creek is private property and is very well identified as private property. Do not go off the road except on open space trails otherwise you may be subject to arrest for trespassing. Only a small part of the historic location of Grabtown is on public property. Do not go off of the road or trails unless you see signs that you are on open space land. The owners of properties next to the open space are friends, but they do not like people coming onto their property and have posted nice signs about the situation. If you are on open space land, do not go off designated trails and roads since this is illegal and damages the environment. Also, never take any historical items since these are protected by law.

I'm pretty sure I've been up that road before to ride mountain bikes.

Trump would love a place called Grabtown.
