[@paularogers3549]

I agree guys these places need to be preserved. I so enjoy watching you guys explore them. These little cabins look so cute but so rough too. This one was hard to find but you did it.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

We tried several times to find this and are so glad we persevered. It was a sight for sore eyes once we stumbled upon it!

[@bubby650]

Thank you so much again for a stunning adventure. I marvel at the extent that the early miners resorted to in their attempt to bring comfort and normalcy to such a foreboding and desolate work place. Well done. Cheers!

[@PinInTheAtlas]

We are always amazed at how these miners lived and worked so hard, in such desolate areas. Glad you enjoyed our tour.

[@darronedwards5879]

Well the tanks confirm the dates it was active - bottom of hill the two tanks were welded(post 1930) The large tank up the hill was riveted (pre 1930s) You both do a great job showing the items and structures. Remember that during both world wars, a lot of the metal was scraped for the war effort - the rest of the machinery ends up in front yards all over NV

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Yes, strange there were no outhouses. That engine noise is mining equipment. They are mining at the top of the mountain, we could see them from this camp. Hopefully they won't destroy it.

Commented on the patreon,but had one more. through the years of workng and exploring different mines ; i ran through several tires until i got 4 ply sidewall tires. Most tire damage is due to sidewall punctures or slices. They are more expensive but will reward you in the long run. Sounds like an old Eagles song:) Glad to see your subscribers are going up.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

None of ours were side wall punctures. But we have got better tires now. got a video coming out soon. And thanks. Sarah was a great influence.

@@PinInTheAtlas I'm sure Sarah was, we used to run nylon believe it or not. When i switched to radials i always deflated my tires on the rough, rocky roads. Y'all doing a great job and learning from other off road people helps. Stay cool. Looking for another spot to pin the atlas....

[@rikspector]

Steve and Andrea, Thanks for sharing this elusive place, or is it? It sounded like traffic or industrial activity when I was watching the video around the mine area. There was some solid construction at some of those building including those tongue in groove boards in the attic area. Probably meant as floor boards. It was apparently a successful endeavor and was cleaned up quite well when the mining ended. You never said what type of operation it was. I hope paint ball activity is just a fad, but to kick that building apart is the sign of aggressive sick minds, you know what I said about drinking and shooting, well, ditto here. Cheers, Rik

[@PinInTheAtlas]

The sound in the background was a brand new mining operation that has moved in up the mountain. We hope this doesn't mean that this historic site is now in danger of being swallowed up. It was a Gold and Silver mine.

[@TheStuport]

Loved coming along for this Field Trip! I too HATE to see Graffiti and it doesn't matter how old or desecrated the abode(s) are...it's just disrespectful.

Gonna check out your Library as well! Cheers From Ohio

[@earleclemans4836]

Is there equipment running in background?

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Yes, there was, Earle. There is another mining operation on the mountain. Hopefully, they won't open pit and destroy this slice of history.

[@RaoulThomas007]

So how many mines can boast they were in operation during the Civil War and World War II? The roof framing for the Lunch Room is amazing. A real craftsman built that! 5:18 It’s sad to see that someone has stripped the walls bare on some of the buildings. They are either salvaging the metal or wood siding or using the wood for their campfires. It’s unfortunate because the majority of these buildings had outstanding roofs (as mines go) and would have lasted decades longer.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

It is always sad when we come across structures that have been stripped or vandalised. People don't seem to realise they are destroying history.

[@001desertrat3]

What was all of that ''background noise'' when you were exploring the cabins , especially the last cabin and the Mill building ? It sounded like your Ghost Camp was alongside a Freeway .

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Up on the hill a new mining operation started drilling. We hope it doesn't spell the demise of this beautiful and historic location.

That place was very cool. Thank you. I wonder if that small roof peak was a grave. Some people make things like that over the body. Maybe Indians I can't remember. I think they put special things in there too.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

We think on this occasion it was probably a cold storage. But you are right, other cultures have been known to make grave sites similar to this.

Wonder how much of value was actually discovered there by the miners

It was company owned, and the miners were employed to work the three mines in the area, so I'm not sure how much ore was mined before they closed down that particular operation.

[@Greg_Gatsby]

At 22:11, "Would that be to hold tools?". I cannot see clearly enough, but it appears to be a block upon which an anvil may have been mounted for metalworking and the loops on the sides would have held the various tools of a blacksmith. I'm just guessing, but it also appears there are metal straps that might have secured the anvil if that's what it held.

[@mikepelz7004]

My thoughts as well.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Yes, that was our guess as well, if it wasn't for tools or an anvil then we have no idea what it would have been for.

[@californiasun5866]

I agree. You comment often about the senseless destruction of things in and around old buildings and townsites. Just anywhere you find evidence of the past. It is from a lack of respect, but I feel even a lack of self respect in the culprits themselves. A properly raised person would be embarrassed to be caught doing such things. People who enjoy destroying things for no reason, stem from never being taught how to build things from scratch. That is what irks me the most, when I see things that were destroyed for no reason - that could have been used to fix or build something else. Even the things that are shot full of holes. To me that is from people who don't know their firearm. If you know how to shoot, and you have your firearm properly sighted in, there is no reason to waste ammo going around shooting holes wildly in everything you see. I have a small rifle that is so accurate I can put ten shots through a single hole in a paper target. When you can do that, knowing where you firearm shoots, there is no need to shoot holes in everything you see. Again, I would say it all comes from a lack of upbringing. Yes, intellect.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Exactly, very well said, and if they really want to destroy something so badly, maybe it should be something they actually own.
