This Graffiti at an Abandoned Mill is Absolutely STUNNING!

[@bonniealvarez5510]

Here's what I want to say: I really enjoy your outings. I learn so much and never thought I'd appreciate the information you give so clearly. Thank you for continuing to go out especially with the price of gas. Wish I had extra ca$h to share but things are so tight right now. Thank you for seeking your 'joy'.

Great video, it brings back many memories of exploring Nevada ghost towns & mines as a boy. The average person doesn't realize or appreciate how diverse & beautiful the desert is. I particularly enjoyed exploring old mill sites. This one is surprisingly intact & as an artist, I loved much of the graffiti art you found here. When my family first visited the ghost town of Delamar, Nv., we found the famous "Widowmaker" stamp mill still standing & in surprisingly good condition, but didn't explore it thoroughly. It was 20 years before I returned & sadly, the entire mill building had been razed. I look forward to exploring more of your videos!

Been there several times before the graffiti. The place is called Vanderbilt on the map. There are a series of boarded up mines in the hills behind this processing plant.

[@karlkarlsson1441]

Yep!!! Agree with your thoughts on the graffiti!! Thanks for the video!!! So cool!

[@karlkarlsson1441]

It's definitely has its place though:)

[@deches1152]

Where is this

[@georgesmith8113]

Awesome! Thanks! 👍👍👍👊😎

[@johnslagboom1836]

The control center was intact and had paperwork spread around it. BTW my last visit was in 2015 or 2016 if I remember correctly.

[@bradleyjanes2949]

Great vid! Process tailings? So interesting makes me want to get that plant running again🤔

[@johnslagboom1836]

I found documents in the other building. This plant was operating in the 90's if I remember correctly.

Good video. For me personally, graffiti makes the USA look like a third world country. I'm sick of people tagging other people's property. From walls to train cars with their stupid cans of spray paint it's a sign of low intelligence low class.

[@potatothorn]

@@RomeoJuju and the bigger issue of while the cut out stuff is neat and impressive art/ it was a good part of what made this area famous for other taggers and part of why there is so much of the extra trash grafitti all over this site.

[@herbbunker7749]

Would it be possible to learn the location?

[@terrystewart2070]

That was a great tour! Much appreciated. That was a very large capital investment to put that operation in place. I'm curious if it was profitable. The milling operation used a LOT of water, and it's the desert. What was their source? And finally, I'm amazed that it hasn't been sold to scrap metal scavengers at any of the several times that scrap has been high value in recent years. If any viewers know the name of this operation I would appreciate that info. I'd like to read up on it, if any info is out there.

[@straybullitt]

Since this is hardly a secret, pristine location that needs to be protected from vandals and miscreants, I'm going to tell you. This is the Goldome Mill located in the Mojave Preserve.

[@UweJMeyer]

Good morning Sir, this location may be a good place for a Doomsday blockbuster.Also be carefull climbing in a abandonned factory facility. It may have some not wanted surprices. Greatings from your German fan 👍 🇺🇸 🇩🇪.

[@casedoumasr656]

Well it is nice to see what was a modern mining operation adventure and the way you explained it was educational as to how in ran .BUT it is sad to see in some people's minds all the graffiti it seems to me it takes away from the historical value .Just my opinion but it is what it is still enjoyed it .. Thank you for the tag along ⛏️💰🏆🇺🇸

[@kevinholland4156]

What mineral were they after?

[@danielwangler532]

gold

[@johnmcdonald9363]

Where did they get their water supply?

[@potatothorn]

wells. the area has some water in the ground but not much. What put a lot of people out of business in this region was people drawing too much water and screwing up their neighbors wells.

[@onlyinmaine3290]

looks like a uranium plant that made yellow cake.

[@potatothorn]

Indecline is the group responsible for most of the more impressive artwork. they do Big projects all over the desert/ and smaller ones in others. You can see their marks all over the desert and a few along 5 as well/ mostly in places where it is more like art and less like vandalism. Quite the impressive site for numerous reasons thanks for showing us around.

[@crispy63]

Very cool gotta check that place out 🚐👍🏻

[@deandupont5503]

Wow, I didn't know Banksy had done an American tour...

[@potatothorn]

it is not banksy it is Indecline, they are a group that does large installations as well as smaller tags/ they are all over the Mojave

[@user-qk7lh4wl6e]

You gotta start wearing those big masks that clean the air before it gets too your nose/ mouth. Who knows what kind of asbestos and other harsh chemicals are in the mines or what is bad in their for your respiratory system. Great videos love watching and seeing all these old semi old spots!!

[@benterbieten9540]

Somebody spent a lot of money to set up that operation. Wonder if they turned a profit?

[@JamesJohnson-mw6kd]

I bet some big company owned that place a lot of good scrape thier

[@Conflictinator]

Blurred why? Cussing?

[@potatothorn]

there is some seriously offensive grafitti not too far from this area, maybe more of the same/ like WW2 type garbage put it that way.

[@ShadowPitt]

Dang that’s art

[@robertbrown3676]

That was a big cyanide tank

[@davec9244]

Mostly art, and mostly good art. thank you ALL stay safe!

[@juliuscaesar3346]

[@DesertRunner9875]

Camera movement is way too fast, I have to go to the restroom and throw up

[@herbbunker7749]

Was it blurred due to profanity😊

[@potatothorn]

i'll throw out there that: there is some seriously offensive grafitti not too far from this area, maybe more of the same/ like WW2 type garbage put it that way.
