Stranded at a Haunted Brothel…

The Blue Ridge Mine was started in 1930 and ran until 1940. The shaft was 600’ long and 120’ underground, and they mined cinnabar for the mercury content. But more interesting was the Four Horsemen Hotel that was located on site. There are many mines in the area and the hotel was the general store, as well as brothel for the area. It is rumored that the hotel is haunted and many people have reported very strange happenings in the building.
Many of the mines in the area still have very in the area still have very intact equipment and facilities.

Hello Conner, Thanks for getting Casey to recover your truck because now we all get to enjoy the beautiful scenery! Thank you Casey for helping and for bringing us with you.

[@edwinschlee8374]

Some of your recoveries become history lessons! Good job getting him out!

[@making.a.difference]

I love these types of scenic videos. The recovery stuff is great, because I am a SAR volunteer up in Washington and I learn a lot from you on driving in the Cascade Snow. I think I have seen all of the KZbin videos you have done, plus I have bought some clothing merchandise. I never had Yankum ropes or soft shackles before, now I swear by them. The videos on the Blue Ridge mine, the Meeks Cutoff, Wagon Train trails, and even the wheat harvesting, etc. are great educational material. Usually, I will get on the internet later to learn more about the history of those locations. The other KZbin off road recovery shows are great, but yours are also extremely educational and entertaining. I am impressed on how safe you operate, no heroics, no stupid risks. I am also one of the viewers that don't mind the sound of tracks. I wish I had tracks on my Jeep and F150. I have driven with tracks on a Polaris Razor. Keep up the great job. PS: That was a really nice thing you did at Sand Hollow with the Judge's cash and the small boy.

[@thomasfletcher760]

Casey LaDelle , recovery guy , tour guide , and a " historian " with an awesome office . By the way , I don't really hear the tracks all that much and doesn't bother me ( but , that's just me )

[@kathyl5610]

I don’t hear the tracks that much either. And even if I did, I would still watch. It’s part of the way it is.

[@Cheesius]

I think a lot of the track noise gets filtered out in editing, but it makes Casey sound muffled. It's not bad at all though.

Gooooooood morning Casey! What an awesome area! I hope that you take us back up there this summer so that we can see how it looks when the snow is gone. I love exploring old abandoned buildings, the mine was very interesting to see! Thanks for taking us along Casey and of course thumbs UP to you! 👍 OH and your wife had a great idea to use the hand sanitizer to get the Jeep started!! 👏💪

[@morthomer5804]

I don't always explore mines and haunted brothels in the dead of winter, but when I do it's in my track jeep.

[@robertblackburn790]

Conners adventure in the mountains must have a interesting back story behind it. Walking out for help must have been a ordeal. What little I know about mercury mining is after the ore slurry is heated the mercury evaporates and goes into a condenser in the last stage. The condenser was probably sold for scrap metal long ago.

[@jeffreylane2967]

I wondered if those places are contaminated .

[@andrewturner67]

Good you went exploring with him. It's always better to have at least one person with you when exploring. You never know what will happen. Awesome video Casey 🎉

[@robindowning5560]

Thanks very much, Casey. You allow me to view beautiful countryside I will never be able to see for myself.

I love that area and have spent many years exploring it. Great video! I never visited in winter. Was a real treat to see!

Awesome!!! My 1993 Jeep had over 260,000 miles on it and I then sold it. The frame was bad but the engine was running great.!!! Jeeps are the best!!!

[@leonanderson4727]

Well that was an interesting excursion. You had some fun too exploring that old Blue Ridge Mine. A true Heritage site. To have a brothel right at the site must have been quite the show. You wouldn't get away with anything like that these days. Lol

Except in Peru!

[@Grits_and_Glamour]

I need to 3D print a bobble head of you. Anyone have any design ideas? Your videos get more and more amazing Casey!

I for one appreciate the old school camera work. Even without the fun toys you keep the videos interesting and fun.

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

YAY for another track Jeep recovery. Maybe the complainers can invent quiet tracks LOL. That what an awesome recovery. The field trip through the old mine was awesome. And the views! So rad. thank you for sharing. And kudos to your wife for thinking to use sanitizer to motivate the Jeep to start after your family hike.

[@bruceleealmighty]

I've been impressed with some group that's going around locations like this with buckets of paint to cover graffiti. It makes things seem more authentic even though it monocolors much of the area.

[@markpresnall5139]

Another great job of recovery from Casey. The scenery is just beautiful like no other. 😊

Thanks for another great video with amazing scenery and interesting facts about the old mine and hotel. I live in Florida so I don’t see snow unless we happen to be way North in the winter and it is so beautiful, but no thank you. I love to watch it fall and I love the way it looks right after falling but, that’s it. I don’t want to be driving or walking around in it, I’m a tad too old to be doing that. Thanks again Casey, love your channel. Take care, stay safe.

[@GrumpyForester]

Loved the comment about the wild horses at 29:05. They tend to hang around up by Big Summit Prairie just to the east of your recovery spot. The first time I ran across them (on the 4210 road a few tenths of a mile east of the old hotel), they were standing in the road, weren't very interested in getting out of the road, and didn't really care if I drove slowly between and around them to get on down the road...

[@margreetanceaux3906]

360° or not, you take us to places we simple mortals can only dream of. Great trip!

[@davidfarmer1666]

Casey, I watched this yesterday. Missed the 360 camera and I never complained about the sound, ever. Glad you were able to back out of the hole. Casey when you told about your bag, way back when. I told you that my wife had surgery to reconnect her and loose the bag. Well, she died December 17th. She went down hill after the surgery to reconnect her back up. When the doctor said they could reconnect her she said yes because she wanted to be able to have her grandchildren sit on her lap. She got to hold her last grandson about three times before she died. He just turned one in March. I never knew I could miss someone so much. I have lost both parents, a younger sister, and an old brother and they were nothing. I hear her at night, think I should call her in the hospital or care center and say oh no she is gone. Treasure your wife and your daughter and spend the most time you can with them. You never know how long you will have them or they will have you. I am getting tears just telling you about this. The real dumb thing is, we got divorced after 30 years, didn't see or talk to each other for eleven years and then I was in a roll over accident that nearly killed me. I had remarried and wasn't happy at all. Well she contacted my best friend and asked if he could get her in to see me. Of course he made it happen but I didn't remember her being there. I thought I had a dream about her which wasn't uncommon. After I got out of the hospital and decided I was going to move to Arizona for the warmer weather, leave Colorado. I filed for divorce from my then current wife because she didn't do anything to take care of me when I got out of the hospital. Our son told my ex-wife I was moving to Arizona alone so she called me and asked if we could talk.. She asked to move to Arizona with me and I told her I had to think about it. My son told her she would be going with me before I even said she could go. When I called to tell her it was okay, she said that our son had told her and she thought he had talked to me and was already planning the move. That was in 2016 and I planned on spending the rest of my life with her. She was supposed to out live me. We remarried in 2017. Sorry, I know don't know me but after all this. Don't let them tell you they can't reconnect you. I know you have said you will have the bag forever , that is what they told my wife to begin with.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

I’m so sorry to hear that. But they cannot reconnect me, it is impossible in my case since there is nothing left to reconnect

[@brendawomack5380]

I am sorry to hear about your wife. I will pray that life treats you well and you have the strength you need. Take care.

We had the noise issues with our F-150 and stumbled on an answer. Truck had mat no rug. Our mechanic had to do some work under the dach and grabbed the 2×2 pad he used to stand on at the bench to raise him up off the floorboard. One on each side in the front. While on a test drive we could notice to huge difference in noise. They are a foam like and wash real easy. Black at hardware store and multi colored in toy department.

Back in about 1986 I remember driving past the “brothel” and seeing a fella that lived in a shack at that bend in the road. He waved at me when I drove past. Long white beard sitting in a rocking chair in the porch of a tiny shack at the bend in the road. I was told last year that he grew up at the mine and lived his whole life at the location. I wish I could remember his name.

I haven't watched the video yet but if you haven't I went down that River trail there's some really cool abandoned vehicles that are sunken all the way up to their roofs in mud. There's also the bottom floor on the other side of the creek from a speakeasy. Your videos may not be my favorite but they're okay and I love the fact that you're in Oregon
