9:09 The C-54 missing its tail and left outer wing has an interesting backstory: Over two weeks in the winter of 1944, students at Maine Township High School, Park Ridge, IL, raised over $550,000 to buy War Bonds, and as a reward, this plane was named after the school, with the inscription _"Faster and Higher - That's Maine's Flyer"_ . The plane saw service in the last months of the war as a hospital transport. 75 years later in 2019, Len Johnson of the Park Ridge Historical Society was given permission to salvage parts from the plane's cockpit and returned them to Illinois to create a display for the Society's museum. He even repainted the slogan on the plane's nose - but that's now apparently graffitied over again.

Desert center was our main fuel stop before we would go to and from Orange County. Lake Tamarisk is all that is left when I stopped in 2007' We used to go to Lake Dalores in the early eighties as well.

As a European this just looks so alien. Because we build real houses (as in : not cardbox and plywood sheds) this would rarely happen. The value of brick houses will always be high enough for some buyers/developers to repurpose the land/buildings.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

I don't think these homes were really built for the long haul. In my opinion, i think they knew the mine would eventually run dry, they just needed homes to get workers in there as soon as possible

For people wondering why Eagle Mtn hasn't become a 2nd 'slab city' its because it isnt 'abandoned', its owned and regularly patrolled. They are talking about demolishing the houses and then turning the pit into a landfill. It also is way farther out 'in the middle of nowhere' than slab city is. Those people dont have all that far to go to get supplies are have somebody bring them. If they lived in Eagle mtn they would be S.O.L and it would probably result in deaths from stuff like dehydration and medical emergencies.

Raise your hand if you were at Lake Dolores for the Boards of Canada listening party.

In 1991 an older resident of "Newberry Springs" drove all the way to Browning Oldsmobile in Cerritos to redeem his $50 certificate to test drive the new-for-1992 Eighty-Eight. After the drive I asked him if he would like to purchase the car and he simply said, "I came for the $50!"

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

lol oh no

[@shannafreemon7795]

We used to go camping out there off of Rice road and Ludlow loved it thanks Mom and Dad

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Hey thank you for sharing

[@jorgebarriosmur]

As a European, I find it fascinating how you call 200 yo places "old".

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

I know what you mean 🤦‍♂️

A friend and I were low on gas. We pulled into hollaran and they were closed. We were prepared to wait until they opened the next day. Next thing you know grandpa came and opened so we could get gas. Were are eternally grateful. We also used to visit lake Delores in the early eighties. It was a lot of fun. Camped right on the water next to the slides. Beer, weed and lots of bikinis. Also eternally grateful.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

lol enjoyed reading this story! sounds like a classic drive through the mojave desert. Thanks for sharing!

#1 When I was teen, Kaiser discovered they could buy electricity at wholesale prices and sell it back to the grid, at a profit. So they shut down their ops and jobs in Longview WA.

[@rocketsnhotrods9022]

Pretty cool alien blaster. I'm gonna guess your a fallout fan too lol

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Haha, not as big a fallout fan as I am COD.....but I rock it with it!

8:14 How do you go South East from Las Vegas and still remain in California???

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Original title of the video was supposed to be 10 abandoned places near southern California, but then we changed the title

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Desert Center looks like a location they used in the movie Romeo is Bleeding? Am I right?

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Never seen it

[@Rotorhead1651]

Ludlow sounds like the real-world basis for the fictional town of Radiator Springs, from the movie "Cars".

[@SnowWhite717_]

1:08 It’s like Radiator Springs in the movie Cars

[@toycarpgmr]

What about Amboy, CA on Hwy 40? Not far from 29 Palms.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

That one will be in a future abandoned series 👍

[@randysmith2740]

I highly recommend you VISIT these ruined abandoned places they are fascinating!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Heck yeah they are!!

[@YTRINX]

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 I'm looking for some places to take my lidar so I can scan walls to use in my video game projects, do you know any good websites that document abandon places that I could sort through by state?

[@-Vitalis-]

It's depressing yet understandable and pretty humane (life goes on, pal) that probably many of the places we enjoyed during our childhood and even present day... will end up like these. Good thing memories don't crumble to dust that easily.

[@jacobjames1171]

Atv8:40 I believe the white car on the right was from the movie cherry 2000.

[@CherryColaWizard]

You should add Nipton to the list. Ever since Caesar's Legion carried out their lottery there, Nipton's been a ghost town.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

That very well may be featured in a future video!
