Investigating A Suspicious Google Earth Find

[@janblake9468]

About 10 years ago, I spent a night there. Both cabins were clean and orderly, and stocked with canned food, water, and firewood..

[@peteskipeteski4464]

That's how ALL of them should be, eh? Leave it alittle nicer and stocked (especially first-aid). I went to a very very remote,super old, fantastic built true log cabin on state land in AZ that I was so saddened to see it trashed out, especially on state land

[@fordhoarder]

You did a great job with the filming and editing on this one. I wish you wouldn't have given up your location. Old cabins like this need to be protected at all costs.

[@1954shadow]

That house shaped can was a Log Cabin syrup container.

[@RemoteTrooper]

Interesting, that was a very cool can.

[@heyoldman2003]

i found a mess of those log cabin cans at the local dump . my kids found them in the back of my truck and made a little town 👍🏼. as i remember the cans were different . store or house or some other building. cool memories, thanks

[@heyoldman2003]

if your rig starts running warm turn on your heater on full blast .that should bring it down.. used that trick many times . thank you for taking us along … i love seeing the warm dry desert 😎 and cool old shacks

[@hydro2wheel]

Precisely! I will never forget the time when I was climbing a grade in the middle of nowhere on a highway and my engine started to overheat and ping. I turned the heater on to cool it down and my friend who was the reason why we were there in the first place thought I was crazy. It was 90+ outside, no air conditioning, windows down with the heater on. That day I learned why you don't buy the cheapest 87 octane gas in town. FWIW That was the best that I could afford back then. Thankfully the engine survived. I was honestly worried for it. It sounded like a bunch of marbles in a tin can.

[@heyoldman2003]

@ i drove from California to Colorado with my heater on full blast and 90° weather. The head gasket was partially blown. But I made it. It’s a good trick.

[@lindabriggs5118]

Many old cabins, in both California and Nevada are called "Volunteer" Cabins, because small groups of people try very hard to maintain them. They are "first come, first serve" places to camp. You have to hang the American flag to let others know you are camping there. I seen a number of them and some are quite unique and special. There is a log book inside, sign it, even if you're just visiting. I think there is a book that tells you how to get to many others like this.

[@doug6885]

Your GPS is off. That's the CALIFORNIA desert. And since it's less than 15 miles from the freeway, it shouldn't be that hard to get a bean bag out there. Fun fact - There was a meth lab there once.

[@david-evans22]

Wow that was awesome, thanks for bringing us along!

[@iwillwander]

Really enjoyed this one. Nice to watch you dynamic with another Trooper.

[@nitromyke]

Cool vid again!! Makes me miss wheelin' offroad!

[@jheremck]

...what a GREAT find!!! ...thank you for sharing :)

[@rssell]

Cool vid! I've only followed this channel for a short time and already the editing has progressed.

[@rawclam]

Great location! Thanks for taking us along!

[@red7shorts]

The car hood in the barn looked to be late 30s, crazy thats still there

[@THX--nn5bu]

Awesome exploration as always Trooper, love the bluegrass music while the two of your vehicles driving together on those dry lake beds, makes me miss the Mojave Desert, but yet I'm only a few hours north from there.

[@michaelberger8137]

Fridge door sporting that art decco look. Nice find. Loved the patina on that!

[@Superjet113]

Very cool exploration, I enjoyed it. Thank you from Havasu!

[@frankserrano9156]

Those old bottles were super cool..but that rug when you walked through the connection into the other cabin. That rug was sweet

[@brickmasterey]

The california deserts are so cool, I have memories camping there years ago

[@fetchingphotos]

That was fun, and those shots of your trucks toolin through the desert were epic!

[@christophersanders5007]

I am from Las Vegas myself, and I stay out of Commiefornia. When I go out to the open desert in my 4X4 I carry guns with me that are illegal in Commiefornia. In Nevada, Arizona, and Utah I can carry a loaded hand gun with me, and rifles that are not locked up in a case, but not in Commiefornia. I would not want to get stopped by a park ranger or BLM in Commiefornia, and have them start asking me if I had any weapons on me.

[@robotpizza]

Sounds like you like to say...Commiefornia

[@marceyvogt2007]

Loved this exploration. So interesting. It amazes me how much activity goes on in the desert. Thank you William and Nick.☮️💖🎶

[@chrisb9600]

Rock contains Chrysocolla. I Believe...(maybe they were mining for copper...

[@zipshed]

This was a great trip...looked like a blast!

[@dougtodd305]

I was out there about 10 years ago.about 20 years ago the gate was locked ,which caused the gov. to get suspicious,they caught 4 guys making drugs. It was locked up for a few years ,that's a nice area with great views.

[@johnleewright345]

Great find and an awesome vehicle combo. I drive a 15 Tacoma and a 02 Rodeo Sport.

[@Daniel-gi3jo]

Thanks for that. It's a cool trip

[@barneymiller7894]

Watch for the Powdergangers near Primm 🤣

[@WootTootZoot]

Haha..good one.

[@metricstormtrooper]

The old fridge is one powered by kerosene, it uses the absorbtion cycle. As long as you had a source of heat, they would cool the fridge innards, electric elements either 12 or in our case 240v would also make them work. Thanks for another interesting video mate.

[@frankthatank2324]

Been to those cabins more than once. The morning star mine near by is massive. Lots of copper in the area.

[@spacetravler8461]

Morning Star is fun. I found some really nice azurite samples there about a decade ago.

[@lostwithasmile485]

That was awesome!

[@SurfCityBill]

Surprised the can dump was so spread out. You'd think it would all be one big general pile. Also, those two stall toilets crack me up. Who wants to sit side by side with someone else doing their business?

[@marivega3294]

That blue-green Copper based mineral is Chrysocolla. It's used as a gemstone

[@MontanaDirtRoads]

The part that had the net is called a stope,the mined up from their main drift to the surface.

[@JSTRM4N]

Nice desert trip out there broskies. Edit: Malachite Copper

[@DeanKaehele-xq1iz]

Chrysocola signifies copper- So. Az. Is covered in many areas with copper laying on the ground. And turquoise.

[@TimTriesThings]

15:38 I don’t know about everyone else, but I watch you and other channels SPECIFICALLY for crazy things on video?

[@OriginalSithMonkey]

New KZbin challenge. How many times can you say dude in one video. 😂

[@madisonpyritz3070]

That is awesome good find thanks for sharing

[@TheSilmarillian]

New sub here greetings from Australia great work indeed and thanks for taking us along.

[@Abijah12411]

Copper will patina to a green blue after long exposure to the elements of the rain, air etc

[@reednelson490]

Do you have a GPS on those cabins? I’ve been around there but I’ve never seen them. Anyway enjoy your video.

[@ismewhat1234]

Hope you have a wonderful weekend

[@olliespackrt5763]

that can with the to cut off was probably a Log Cabin Syrup

[@brianbloom1799]

I think It's nice People are taking care of those cabin's so if you need a Place to stay for the night under shelter, That's the way it's suppose to be

[@brianbloom1799]

I wish I lived in that area, That tank would be mine, I would bury it , and turn it into a under ground shelter, Make one hell of a house out of that.

[@steves7896]

Uh.... pardon me sir, but do you have Prince Albert in a can?

[@jeffjefferson-re4pe]

Driving around in 4 wheel drive will certainly have your engine running hot. And if you took a metal detector with you you might just find enough treasure to pay for the gas.

[@gregdiamond6023]

I’m a coke collector. I was hoping it was a pre 1924 one for you. On bottles like Yoù found, the year is on the sìde. Pre 24 bottles can be worth good $ if found intact.

[@Fabio-kr9in]

cool video

[@Davidb......75]

💚✌

[@unknownytaus]

Can you fly a drone into area 51 or something a bit more interesting lol

[@RobertR-t5l]

☆MERRY CHRISTMAS☆ to you an the family 🎅 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@RemoteTrooper]

Merry Christmas!

[@gregroseberry2953]

Prince Albert tobacco can

[@2T42Training]

I have a serious question. Why do you not take some things from your explorations? That fridge door would be a cool decoration for a garage or "man cave". I know bigger things would be hard to carry, but why not even something small like that coke bottle? I assume you leave them for other people to see, but I think I would be tempted to take small items. Thank you again for another great video!

[@SurfCityBill]

Probably do, off camera

[@psh-trick]

And this is why explorers rarely tell the location of the spots they find. Because people like you will go and steal it for the stupidest of reasons.

[@wymansmith9101]

@@psh-trick100% I seldom even tell people in person where cool places I find are.

[@harmonyriverranch299]

It's kind of dumb that you didn't stop and show us all around the amusement park and kind of explain to us why it's way out there in the middle of nowhere

[@lostwithasmile485]

It is at one of the hotels at the state line between NV and CA. Crazy huge drop but you will feel completely wreck and hour later. The Desperado opened 1994.

[@lostwithasmile485]

It was just one rollercoaster. No other rides.

[@neckbonz3152]

@@lostwithasmile485- Awesome log flume ride too- for 1 ride. Desperado was a bad ass coaster- great ride!

[@Superjet113]

Its just a hotel built in 1994 called Buffalo Bills. The roller coaster has been closed down for maybe 10 years. Its just for gambling/hotel now. The concrete river rider inside the build is not working either. I stayed there maybe 5 years ago, its a real shithole. lol Next to it are a lot of large outlet stores.

[@davidsharp3522]

It’s not in the middle of nowhere, I-15 is just a cple hundred yards to the Right along with a bunch of casinos many closed recently during the C19 shenanigans.
