UPDATE: 2024: We know how to pronounce Shaniko. Thank you everyone...

[@TheCriminalViolin]

I personally prefer to say it the way you did. I'm a born & raised Oregonian, and that's the only way I've ever said it too. I watched a KGW segment recently where they said it very differently, and in my usual fashion, I revolted and decided I'd only say it's name how I want to lol.

[@jeank8061]

Next time you're exploring ghost towns in Oregon - check out Sumpter, if you haven't already! My brother and I did a ghost hunt in the old hospital, which is now an B&B. We got a lot of paranormal phenomenon there. Apparently, there have been ghost hunting shows filmed there. Pretty cool!

[@ourpnwadventures]

That would be awesome!! Always wanted to go to Sumpter. Thanks for the B&B hospital info. Will definitely check it out!!

[@donkauer6744]

For anyone interested in staying in Shaniko now, the hotel is officially open for business. That is as of sept 2023. You should see it. It is done up well. When I was a kid in the 70s, it was open and the folks that worked it were.......special or challenged. It was so great to see that. Lots and lots of time and money being invested in Shaniko now. Well worth the trip in reasonable weather to check it out. In august a big festival goes on for I think 3 days with live music and all, called "Shaniko days".

[@ourpnwadventures]

Oh we can't wait to stay at the Shaniko Hotel!! So much history and glad they opened it back up.

[@spacequeenruby]

Reminds me of coming down from Washington to visit family in California and going through all these cool little Oregon towns!

[@ourpnwadventures]

Pretty awesome huh!! So beautiful out there!!

[@robertabessey7990]

Our family lived in Redmond when the dude from India took over Antelope, Oregon. The story's are definitely true. He was constantly in the news along with his partner in crime the woman. I can't pronounce or spell either one of their names. Pretty crazy watching it all unfold.

[@ourpnwadventures]

So crazy what happened there!

[@marklisenby8238]

Ma Ahnad Sheila they tried to poison was o county officials

[@mathasanbouchawang]

Life is just amazing we live just to creating stories.The town is beautiful,It's very sad to see the town, mansions become deserted

[@WheresWiseman]

Exiting the chapel- "Let's ride". Not lost on Seahawks fans. Love it!!

[@ourpnwadventures]

Haha!! Yes!! Let's Go Geno & Hawks!!

[@jd_portland]

Love the Channel go hawks

[@ourpnwadventures]

Thank you!! Go Hawks!!

[@gordonyork6638]

I'd love to lease a room as an art studio in the old school in Antelope.

[@melissamiller6182]

Neat ! Love it.. I'm from Albany Oregon, I've joined West coast paranormal team. It's exciting..Nice video

[@ourpnwadventures]

Thank you! That's awesome! Happy hunting!! 👻

[@amandajohn5996]

That was great guys,…A lovely couple, uniting together to spread history of America,…. from Australia

[@ourpnwadventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@user-jd9fl2zx2u]

Thank you

[@gordonyork6638]

Real ghost towns are plaves like Lamonta between Madras and Prineville, and Shevlin between Bend and La Pine. Perhaps Richmond, but there are people still there.

[@michaelporter9354]

Grandmother grew up outside Antelope. Worked at the Shaniko Hotel when she was a teen

[@ourpnwadventures]

That's awesome!! Amazing history!!

[@matthewbolton4289]

its shah-neh-co

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

Over grazing killed the area we were told when visiting Shanika in the 1960’s by the owner of the hotel who remembered when she got there in the early 1900’s.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Wow. We believe that. Thanks for the history story!

[@ravjigupta5183]

Thanks for the great video as someone who grew up in that part of Oregon i really appreciate you bringing this very special portion of the Beaver State to a much wider audience .my uncle was in Antelope at the time of the Rajneeshi occupation all though he wasn't involved with the occupation he worked a truck driver for a Industrial laundry service in Ontario because he spoke Urdu fluently authorities asked him to work as a translator for the Rajneeshi whom didn't speak English. Live currently in Klamath Falls, Oregon grew up between Bend and La Grande . Go Beavers and Ducks

[@ourpnwadventures]

Thank you so much!! That area is amazing with so much history. How cool about your uncle's experiences in Antelope. He was probably a very useful asset to the authorities during that time. We hope to explore more in Eastern Oregon soon.

[@donkauer6744]

At the 1:45 mark, in the center of the screen at the end of Antelope, is a place referred to as the "Brogan place". It has a school house on it which is the one room all grades. Also, Antelope where you toured is actually a relocate. Ask the locals, yes, they are approachable, and they will show you where the town was originally. Sad you were not there in 2019. The cafe, once the Antelope cafe, then "zorba the buddah" during the accupation, was open again for a very short time as Grandma's cafe. Had brunch there in 2019. Grandma was the mayor. Also, as a child, I remember very well the garage still in operation in the 70s. They had a huge tug boat piston out front as a trash can.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Wow thank you so much for all of the historic background on Antelope!! What an amazing place!! We can't wait to go back someday!!

[@johnbul6920]

Love your channel I’ve lived in Oregon all my life I remember roshneesh when I was a kid yes definitely a kreepy group of people

[@ourpnwadventures]

Thank you!!

[@tanim1684]

Oregan seemed like such a nice county, was considering moving there but pretty much a ghost zone.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Yes there's not much in the Central/Eastern part but really beautiful there.

[@sandyfromearthwethink9678]

Trust me, you don't want to be in cities! Eastern Oregon is the best because it's sparsely populated.

[@shingadere]

No shortage on advertisement interruptions, but still interesting enough to stay for. Thanks

[@ourpnwadventures]

Right, got to love KZbins (seems like) non stop commercials. Thanks for watching though!!

[@lisastangier3614]

Pronunciation of Shaniko is Shan-e-ko. My great great uncle bought his first automatic in Shaniko, a 1921 Model T.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Oh thats awesome!! Great car!!

[@michaelpass2176]

Read Louis la more has good story of the area when cattle was brought in ,gold was found. Murder and others crazy happening gs.

[@johnlove7224]

Lord knows I miss my Oregon terribly. Can never go home. Only forward. Not back

[@WarrenUCrane]

is it sha-niko? I always thought it was pronounced shan-ih-ko

[@ourpnwadventures]

We have no idea. Lol. It's been a long debate on this video ever since this came out in Oct '22 🤣 It was our 1st time going there. Awesome town!

[@royramey5659]

thanks

[@lukehansberry]

I would love to spend the night in there and use the k2 meters and the spirit app and the cat balls and so forth very cool guys love seeing that stuff

[@ourpnwadventures]

Oh yeah!! We have all of those!! That would be fun!!

[@johnsee7269]

Sad that when I think of Oregon (Portland...) I think dystopian or colloquially: #$@&hole. Important not to characterize the entire state by one city and the crazy Branch Davidian types there in the past.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Oregon has way better cities than just Portland. Lol

[@Midnightblue45]

I live in Redmond Oregon so

[@ourpnwadventures]

Oh we love Redmond!! Wild Ride!! 🍺😎

[@paulavang2987]

This town looked so dry , no water, no grass that is why everyone gone .

[@gordonyork6638]

I think th advent of corporate farming killed a lot of these little cities. There's a pretty big abandoned school in Grass Valley.

[@milagrosortiz8151]

[@donsumpter3379]

Have you been to Sumpter Oregon yet?

[@ourpnwadventures]

No we haven't. It's on our list. Would love to see the dredge there.

[@paulavang2987]

Government should provide this town to be a public land and open spaces for all the home less to live here, plan their own gardens, plant all kinds of fruits for themselves to survive fix all the buildings for them to restart a new town, new life to live here then open a farmer market or ghost towns tours to make moneys.

[@gordonyork6638]

Art studio space.

[@kristinakahila8914]

The guys from Ghost Adventures on the travel channel. Would like to spend one night in the school.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Yes they would! We would like to do that too!!

[@Dog.soldier1950]

The Raj occupation pretty much destroyed the town. Those not associated with the newcomers left.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Seemed like a nice old little town. Felt bad that happened there.

The hotel in Shaniko is haunted.

Hope to investigate there someday!!

Please come to Jewell.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Will have to do some research on that one. Thanks!

[@johnwolf2829]

2 minutes of intro for a 15 min. vid is a bit much. Everyone likes Shaniko, but it is pretty much the tourist trap of Ghost Towns. Kent is legitimately dead, and the next town up the road might be next. Soon.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Ya the intro is a bit too much. Lol. Should of left out the drone footage. Thanks for your feedback. Those towns are pretty interesting.

[@skakdosmer]

Great video. Except for the music.

[@Rebecca_of_Oregon]

Pronounced SHANiko.

[@ourpnwadventures]

Thank you!

[@Tarquin67]

Australia produced L18 000000 (pounds), $32 000000 in 1901. That equates to well over $1.5 Billion in today’s money. Even with converting that to USD, it is well over the figures you gave for this place,’the world largest wool producer’. You may be talking about the largest producer in the smallest area of land. So Australia produced 10 times the amounts this place did.
