A Grueling Hike Into "The Most Remote Ghost Town In America" 

I became certified back in the early 8o's and still have not found any adventure as enjoyable as the dives at Catalina Some of the best time I ever spent so I share that freedom with you! Glad you have it.

I would be glad to help push you in that wheel chair on a hike like this...and I'm serious, if I could, it would give me something to train and get back in place to do

You should visit the sand dunes in Colorado. They have chairs that can go through the sand! Like some nasa Mara stuff! It look really cool!

@viggytra1668 Thank you. Have a great day!

the ghosts are greener in the next town over!

Quite ironic, it’s like coming back from vacation & need a vacation from you vacation. Lol

Oh wow, thank you so much for the note. That made my day!

@@GhostTownLiving you’re welcome. Thank you for reading!

What a nice message . ❤️ His channel is very good . Uplifting and positive . ☺️

@@oooo-dw7gg Excuse the gentleman he was out there for a Archery Elk Hunt and probably the last of his thoughts were about covering what little if any of tracks he would've been leaving. So disrespectful that comment was!

@@oooo-dw7gg “clear instructions??”. A barely visible wagon track in an unnamed location within a huge rugged mountain range…. nearly 50 years ago? Any disturbance just draws attention. I challenge you to attempt to find it based on that description….. Obviously not an outdoorsman! Most folks have never hiked 4 miles in the mountains without a marked trail in dense forest… the track was not even visible a lot of the way. I’ve done that sort of exploration since childhood, most people chicken out or lose interest long before 4 miles in those conditions…. or get nervous about bears, lions, or just the possibility of getting hurt. I still roam wild places off trail, but I don’t hunt anymore, nor do I carry a weapon, or gps, or communication device, etc.

Makes you think what's been lost to time and looters of our past.

Write a book. I need to read your story. Praying for you to stay focused on your goals, NOT what other's think you should be concentrating on. 😁❤

@@PlatinumIrishrose I've had alot of people tell me I should write a book. I've done a few of podcasts, been in magazines/calendars, etc. As far as a book goes, I've never had any luck trying to make that happen. I dont have the money up front to do it all myself, so, I would need a publishing company etc. I've spoken with some but nothing has come to fruition on that front yet. Maybe one of these days someone will help me publish a book.

@@joegreenbbka I'd buy your book! I agree with your message 100% - live every day to the full because tomorrow isn't guaranteed. But never give up.. My spine was broken in 3 places 25 years ago, but the spinal cord was intact.. So by the Grace of God I learned to walk again and even went back to teaching. I push myself every day so I can push myself again tomorrow, but I admire snyone who is wheelchair-bound because I know how hard it was even on a temporary basis. Best wishes and prayers for your future : ) XX

@@joegreenbbka I don't know if this idea will be useful to you, but maybe you could start by selling a "handmade" version, in a pdf format of your book, and sell it online through direct payment from your client (he sends you the money to an account , and you send him the pdf book by mail). It is an alternative in case you do not have immediate access to a publisher. Greetings from Chile!

@@mig_2668 I'm not real tech savvy but thank you for the idea. I'll start asking some friends if they could help me with something like that.

What a cool story, thank you for sharing. I watched one episode where Brent went in and stumbled upon a bunch of crystals and I was so excited for him. The funny thing is is he walked right by them and was looking for Levi's. One of these days I will go up and volunteer to help out in hopes to go and explore the mine with the crystals. Happy holidays good sir. 👍😎

Should have dug out anything leftover material in the stamp mill and panned it. ;)

What an amazing adventure you went on. 🤗

Mike Dunn, did the quartz crystals fight back?

Me too! Brightened my day

MsM. Of 40( 42) Hola Este es mi

Wow, me too! This is the first video of his I’ve seen too. Transitioned from feeling angry at the world to feeling incredibly humbled by this journey. Sending good thoughts your way, everyone.😊

In urbex, we have a saying. "Take only pictures, Leave only footprints" There has only been one instance where I broke that rule. The building we were exploring was an old early 20's power house, I found a very unique switch(Mercury arc rectifier) that there are not many known examples of left, The building was set for total demolition a few days later. It is currently on display in a museum(Running!)

@@upcycler I would imagine there would be such a minute number of his subs that would even attempt such a hike. If they have any common sense! 😉

@@upcycler Again, you could rewrite your reply.

@@upcycler I am not supporting anything. You need to explain yourself clearly so those (like me) can understand it. You only throw your negative arrogance thinking we have all the facts. Enlighten me

@@upcycler Or I will research myself since I,cannot trust you. Either way, your arrogance doesn't attract the audience.

@@upcycler Ahhh. My comment got deleted. Ok, you are one if them. My last comment had no reason to be deleted.

My dad did a lot of those same things. Not the coins. Instead he had tools and supplies hidden everywhere

Damnit Judy, you're bumming me out. I'm 59 and I've had back surgery and you need to do rehab and get yourself into hiking shape. Just go slower and rest longer, but don't stop please.

@MustardSeeds Irrelevant, and inherently stupid rant. Nice

@MustardSeeds You sir/ma'am - you are the reason why I shudder the very thought of going to America. I hear America has many of your ilk. 😇

@MustardSeeds This is ridiculous! Nobody with a cell phone heeds a home phone which is why they are disappearing! You could install a wireless handset in your house and assign it a number without doing anything extra. Did you even read this before you posted it?

I'm planning a restoring a 1908 Victorian In pretty bad shape but intact.

I can relate.. Our family cabin was damaged in a flood 2 years ago .. thereafter I set out to restore the camp and repair what needed to be fixed.. I managed to get a lot done thus far..my advice for you friend is this .. keep at it.. one foot in front of the other, one nail, one board at a time, one day at a time.. keep plugging away at your project and you'll get see progress and it will become less daunting. 💪

@@chuckthebull good luck! I would love to do that same!

@@CalebBerman Amen, God bless you and your family.

Hi and thanks for the history there sir, greetings from Canada

That's awesome David 💪

Didn’t Joel Johnston go with you as well?

@@youtubehastakenovermylife4979 Sorry, don’t know Joel. It was a grueling hike up into the snow and then down to Beverage. Didn’t get to explore far up or down canyon. And the grapevines hadn’t covered up so many of the artifacts along the creek. The stone and other buildings were still roofed at that time. I’m wondering what happened to the large iron Arrastra. maybe just covered by brush.

@@rickobrien4025 Rick Yes water was flowing in the creek at that time, the same was true of a couple other canyons we explored from the Saline Valley side. As for trash, I don’t recall seeing any current stuff but do recall some rusty old cans laying around. David

I thought the same thing when he said that!

thought the exact same thing.

Haha caught that too.

I thought the same thing! Sitting and thinking are great but in an outhouse with a view is even better!

Same!!! 😁 I even thought for a sec he was gonna say, & said aloud to myself..... Sit & imagine what life was like back in the day, on the throne door open to a beautiful desert morning. Ahhhh, what a beautiful life.

This beautifull, wholehearted comment needs to be pinned on top. Feel free to share any one of your adventures, id be glad to hear. Greetings and all the best to you, from a small town in Croatia

You should write a book! I'd love to hear of your adventures. Bless you!

@@njhdreams2415 Pikes Peak is a very interesting mountain. A person can drive to the top. A person can take the cog railroad to the top, There are acres and miles that people never see.Pikes Peak is one of the most diversely mineralized areas in the United States. One time i and a friend hiked in to one of the remote areas and found some beautiful things. We camped and that evening . And we heard the scream of the local resident. a mountain lion and neither of us carried a weapon. Fortunately we were not attacked or bothered. Most folks have no idea of the vastness of Pikes Peak. I have hiked a small part of the amazing mountain. Wish I could do it again.

I'll be praying that you will have the opportunity go see the Ghost Town in person.

Paul it truly blesses my heart to read what you wrote. I wish and hope that you can get in another adventure before God calls you to come home with him. ♥️♥️ sending you love and blessings from Georgia.

Losing the hotel? What happened?

@@cosiema It burned down..

@@cosiema and now he will build a new hotel

pick yourself up, dust yourself out and keep on going.

Yeah loosing the hotel in the fire was hard on Brent.... He buy's the town and it burnt down with all that history lost :(

........and that little blue bottle knows today it have a real name since her first day on heart ! I hope she's happy . Here we are !!!

I found this adventure to be Awesome and Scary at the same time. Thank You for Sharing.

@@mickiegardner3468 I wasn't even with him and I felt vulnerable and small . Like we feel bug and important but we're just a fot compared to reality. And we walk on a giant ball that has many holes and mishaps we adventure till the end. This adventure made me feel happy and scared at same time as well. Lmao

I googled BGC also and found Belleville Glass Co., Bellville, Illinois (1882) and another Brockwy Glass Company (1907) of Brockwayville, Penn. Both sites have extensive and interesting histories of both industries.

@@MrCaneast yeah man I grew up and born in Belleville . It's a historic town.

nope, definately not alone, he is a true gem of a human.

Amen to that!!

I agree. He’s so easy to listen to and for me that’s a lot because most people bug me lol

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

I had the same thought - how beautiful it must have been in the dark looking up at a sky filled with the stars that we in the city can’t see.

The Milky Way must be amazing out there I bet.

Having spent many nights in that area, the milky way is AMAZING! The blanket of stars is so thick.

I used to truck US 50 across Nevada. On a night with no moon the stars were amazing. The eastern Sierra was a very close second😊

Sadly now starlink and Amazon constellations of 48000 satellites with soon destroy that for all of us. Might look pretty though mabey a ring of satellites but still that ring hurts the view of the stars.

The guy with the helicopter did loot the whole place. He showed the news article of it. Just remains left, nothing of value and many interesting things taken.

Yes long hikes tend to filter out hooligans and people who just wanna go out into the woods and get drunk, shoot at televisions chop down small trees as firewood even though firewood is plentiful (and green trees don’t burn well) and throw trash everywhere. I can’t stand those types. Oh and I almost forgot to mention pooping on the trail…

@ JJWalker What a jerk. Who are you referring to can I get a link?

@@sabrinatscha2554 He talks about the guy at the 19:10 point in this video.

Any idea how long since the last visit before him?

Did you go??

Yeah, and take a dump to nowhere, lol.

LOL I caught that, too.

…and as you sit, the outhouse… tumbles down the cliff. What a way to go.

Repent to Jesus Christ! “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2:10-11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ P

Its good to see the people I watch on yt. Also watch yt. Hello big d.

Wouldn’t one just use a go pro or something similar and then why would it be hard at all to film while hiking? 🤷🏼‍♀️ if you’re not holding it it’s not in the way…… Why film holding it while on a hard hike? That seems about silly & pointless…..

Big D is here too ? Oooh man. Your coolness level has just reached maximum. Hope to see another amp dyno soon 😁

@@jesusisimmanuel735 So true. Path of least resistance.

Probably since its so hard to get to not a lot of people, Especially the bad ones make it there

I'm guessing the 5 hour hike deters the jerks.

That one jerk was already there. His name was Bob Wolf, he looted the area in the 70's.

@@CremeBrulee543 Look at Dark's comment. I think he copied mine almost word for word. :(

@@beny3431 sorry about your hardships, goodluck in the future.

@@develdomex Thanks! I'm alright. I make the best of it. I just can't believe someone would steal my comment. Especially one as personal as that. It looked like either he was embarrassed for being caught or maybe Brent did it but someone deleted his comment. I felt bad even saying anything because I didn't want to start any negative drama on this channel. But it really upset me he would steal a comment about my personal struggles.

It was remote from a European perspective. People lived here, and to them this was "everywhere", not "nowhere." They likely fought indigenous Americans to get to this location at first.
