Hidden Mining Camp with Cozy Cottage and Mill

[@gerryhartung736]

I remember the old style of Bed springs. When I was a pre 10 y/o in Illinoise, the little towns maintenance worker would pull the spring around the baseball diamond to level the dirt.

If only these walls could talk. Definitely felt a female's touch in the cabin with the boots. While you guys are walking around exploring, your energy permeates the buildings. After you're gone, just silence. A breath held in anticipation. Thanks for the interlude!

[@MerryDowner]

This is a good video.

The Kenmore, more likely the 1960s. Also, did you know, selling used appliances. Was much more common in the 60s and 70s. I am so rural, there is still one such place. For summer cabins, or mine camps. Used appliances, were the way to go.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

@@kenp9469 they repurposed pretty much everything too. Very ingenuous

I still don't understand how any 1989 Pathfinders are still on the road 😂. What a fun place to explore, jealous!

@@DecayWithUs they aren’t pretty, and probably not 100% road legal, but they are there!

If the owner likes the vehicle enough they would take care of it, not too many do that anymore though, we have become a throw away society.

There's something odd about that place. It was occupied around the late 70s. How do people just close up shop, and leave so much behind? That 2010 calendar is interesting. I wonder what the backstory is. Thank you for taking us along on this enjoyable, mysterious journey, Andrea and Steven. 🤔🌵 🏚🏜☀️💛👏🏻👏🏻

@@rhondaz356 these camps are always a mystery and we leave scratching our heads and asking What Happened?

[@doug6885]

I just camped there last week. 110 degrees at home, I had a cold night there. Slept in the Jeep as the cabins were pretty sketchy.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

@@doug6885 the cabins not far away are in better condition and more comfortable

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Every location is fascinating, this one more so. The cabin with the boots gave me the impression a female lived there. And to my eye, the signs of mining were lacking. Possibly it was mined long ago, and re-occupied for a different reason?

[@PinInTheAtlas]

@@granddad-mv5ef could have been. Or used as an adopt a cabin maybe! 🤔

[@normstephens8354]

Another interesting find and video! Seems like I saw this in one of Sarah's videos some time or another. I think they often put buildings on barrels just before they move them. Looks like the move didn't take place! I'm a bit behind this week since the fiberoptic cable suffered a fata error due to puppy teeth! It's amazing the lengths they will go to in order to get my full attention!

[@PinInTheAtlas]

@@normstephens8354 use clove oil Norm. Put it on anything you don’t want them to chew. It makes their mouth go numb if they touch it. Won’t hurt. Doesn’t stain and smells like Christmas. I used to use it in dog training.

[@normstephens8354]

@@PinInTheAtlas I'll l have to give that a try, but between the two of them ... I'd need to buy it by the gallon and use a pump up sprayer to keep them from chewing on everything I don't want them to chew on! lol This phase will pass with the baby teeth! As I was typing this ... I had to rescue my favorite hat!

[@PinInTheAtlas]

@@normstephens8354 actually you’d be surprised. Just one drop works. Trust me. It’s funny. It makes their mouths go dumb and they start to foam. I used it for Harvey. Got to the stage that all I’d have to do is pick up the bottle and he knew!!! It’s used in England on babies gums when they are teething or for tooth ache.

[@normstephens8354]

@@PinInTheAtlas I've got it ordered! The girls consider everything as potentially chewable! They do know the word "No" and will drop anything when I tell them no, but that doesn't mean they won't sneak back and try it again!

My husband bought a 1988jeep c j 7 in 1987 for 5000,00 dollars That was a lot of money then we got it on payments.Still on the road . Vehicles cost three to five times more now and out of cheaper materials that just crumple up in accidents these days .My 1955 Pontiac Golden Chiefs bumpers weigh as much as today's cars,.plus I like the comfort riding ,and the golden chief hood ornament lights up.Aah the good old days 🤗❤️🥰🇺🇸

[@pixelpeter3883]

On a lot of your exploratory trips you have encountered mice poop, rats nests and do you very very carefully open cupboards, poke things before lifting them etc. All very understanding and better-safe-then-sorry of course, but I don't think I've seen it once in any of your videos that while opening a door or something similar that a mouse/rat or any other critter gave you (and itself) a scare and ran out. Or did you choose to never show those thrilling moments? :-)

[@PinInTheAtlas]

@@pixelpeter3883 I don’t recall it happening Peter. Remember we do check things out for safety purposes before we film. We have had a couple of odd Jumps. Bats birds etc that have flown out. We keep all that in if we’ve caught it on camera

[@donmarion8808]

The cabin on barrels may have been moved to that location from another operation and set on barrels to drive the transport rig out from underneath it. It kinda looks like they never properly set it in place.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

@@donmarion8808 that certainly is a possibility Don.
