Hello everyone, I apologize for the less than perfect video skills. I have new equipment in the pipeline that should help. Please be patient. I will get better. Thanks to all of you for watching, subscribing, and commenting. Thank you. 🤠👍
I recognized the area. Some of these places were homesteaded in the early 1900's. And these were there great grandparents original homes! Still owned by there decendants. Alot of these built in the 1800's are totally gone. In these mountains they discovered gold. Towns would spring up with schools, post office and several saloons and today is hard to ever tell that a community lived there. They used stamp mills to crush ore. When the ores ran out they would tear it down and move to another location.
That was awesome. It seems older than you think. That one building looks like a blacksmith/ farrier's place with a place to tie whaever horse was being shoed. There were places like that in the 1800/ early 1900's where people and stage coaches used to stop over , for a meal and to have a wash and freshen up and, change of horses. The pony express also used those stopovers. The same here in South Africa A little town I lived in, in the Karoo (something like Arizona), used to be a wagon stopover and perhaps sleepover as well..Thanks for sharing. Made me feel like home as I now live in a bigger town.Shalom and maranatha!
OMG! home! I grew up a couple of valleys away. drove past this great set up a lot. its all private. its a old sheep camp. Italians or Bas folks built this place in the 1800's, probably Martins.
@@JG-tt4sz so I thought that I recognized this place as being over in Beowawe! If I'm wrong about the location then bad for me but it certainly is in the area of Elko I'm sure and you did point out that a lot of bass people resided in the area of Elko. Please let me know if I'm correct
So, I researched the net about the stone houses in your video. It seems it's typical native American stonemasonry and while they might very well have been constructed in the 1800s, such houses were still being constructed in Nevada as late as 1910. You mentioned the possibility of this being national forest land, or so I understood. But a part of the property is fenced off too. This could mean that this land might have been under the purview of the Civilian Conservation Corps - Indian Division (CCC - ID), way back in the mid-20th century or earlier. Just like the other commentators, I too appreciate that you did not trespass and respected the fenced line. There are just too many urban explorers with a devil-may-care attitude, nowadays. Fortunately, you aren't one of those.
Thank you for your efforts in researching this property. I truly appreciate comments such as yours. 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching.
Some of those buildings look like they were built in the late 1800s and the tin roofs of course were added at a later date. So it was probably abandon and somebody came later and started homesteading it. That tractor looks to be from the 60s.
@@eagleteam6 ....you found one helluva a ranch..... a dynasty possibly.....maybe someone can find that brand.....your concrete has a piece missing in the middle
Awesome find. Those buildings were built in the 1800's if not earlier. The tin roof was added later. Great video. I'm glad you respected the exact location of this place because vandalism is very real which makes me angry 😡I'm glad you also respected the privacy of the fence boundaries. Thanks for sharing this awesome unexpected find of a lifetime 👍💞🤗🙏GOD BLESS YOU SIR 🙏🇺🇸💞🙏
Thank you. I've seen too much vandalism of these types of places. I'd like for everyone to visit such a place. It's our history. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Awesome video! I Love visiting old places like that too! The cattle brand was cool to see. I found it was the HR combined. It belonged to R. Morse or K. Pulis, Mountain city, NV. The brand exp. Date was 12/31/2019. Hope that info helped.
Thank you for the tour of the old homestead .What you say is a combine or tractor is Not it is a swather for cutting hay behind it the green patch looks like an alfalfa field that is why the swathers there . For an abandoned homestead it's kind of strange they're still power there there might be power for a irrigation from a well.The dish is montioring maybe remote weather station ? Any way this info might help 🤔🇺🇸
Without a doubt. Everything took an incredible amount of effort and time. Simply getting firewood had to be a tremendous effort. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.
It's an old ranch. 1890's. Big logs were brought east by railroads from the west coast. Stone structures were anglo culture. Adobe were Spanish culture. The mix of two shows the adaptation due to limited resources or the builders had knowledge building with adobe and stone. Grass turf roofs and later tin roofs probably by 1920. Just imagine cowboys going about their day, children playing in front of the house, a man in his 50's in a rocking chair and a wife coming out on the front porch to tell everybody to come eat. Ranch.
Thank you for sharing. I live in Lassen County CA just a few miles from the NV border. I wish I could spend a few years just driving around NV exploring and reading Louis Lamour. Thanks for sharing.
These hidden treasures are a sight to behold. I often consider the lives of the people that worked and lived there. It was a tough time. Thanks for watching.
When you said you were in the middle of nowhere, you reminded me of a Gary Larson cartoon saying "now entering the middle of nowhere!" I thought it was so funny! I love history and would have loved being on that trip. I'd love to take pictures.
It's so sad and forlourn seeing what was once full of life, a family trying to work a living from the soil, children laughing and playing, it leaves you with the strong feelings of what became of these brave pioneer family's, where are there seeds blown and rooted now!!??
Absolutely, those people put heart and soul into that land. Who knows the misfortunes they endured. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.
that was cool video i liked how you respected the fence line and at the first place you found that you did not cross fence to see the building its all about repect of peoples property but the history is something i wish you could show later about those places like when and maybe what time of ranch it was keep exploring i cant wait to watch more
I respect your effort to keep in secret the location of this property, when people explore they think it's necessary to take things that don't belong to them or articles of history, leaving it in shambles.
I agree. Someone made a comment regarding me moving in...if I could, I would. I loved it out there, very peaceful. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching.
My wife and I found that place a couple of years ago, I recognized it from your thumbnail and thought it looked familiar. We went the other way on that road so I also recognized that industrial site.
If the gnats are as big as the splatter on your windshield I don't want to see what your big bugs look like. The old homestead took someone a lot of work to clear the sagebrush from the whole area and pick the rocks for crops or livestock.
It’s a working cattle ranch Just because you can’t see the rancher does not mean it’s abandon It only means that the headquarters has been relocated to a more convenient location But I guarantee you that certain times of the year you will be able to see ranches out there working cattle That one building with power is a still active line shack Ware cowboys stay when working cattle
At 19:00, there's a quick glimpse of what suspiciously looks like a ships anchor chain, may I suggest it was used, as we do here in AU, connect each end to a bulldozer for pulling down vegetation, there's one bulldozer there, not sure what the other machine is, engine powered, maybe used for pulling other end of chain. Thanks for posting always good to see past 'investments'.
This was a fun one. The first thing that caught my attention was the cattle guard, so he uses the word "ranch" in this presentation. Then there was the satellite dish, then there were clues that power was ran in at some time in fact I noticed on a pole that still had a transformer on it. The tires could indicate recent activity. Still what was behind the door? One of the other properties he was driving by had steel poles not wood for fencing. As a side bar there are the bottle houses of Rhyolite, California. Then like South America and the Nazca Lines Southeastern California and Southern Nevada have the Intaglio lines.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Seriously, Nevada is a weird place. And, it's fun to think about the weirdness that could be hiding from the public eye. Again, I'm you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. 🤠👍
Lived in lovelock 14 years explored all over including mines we found abandoned/hidden, one mine moe an I went down 236 steps down on wooden ladder ...
Lots of Geothermal outside of Love Lock but this looks like up in the Nevada Idaho border. High country, probably June it’s so green. Those are sheep herder cabins, that adobe had willows from the creeks used for the roofing material and more mud. I’ll bet that was late 1800’s. There’s still some adobe buildings in Paradise NV. it’s so dry and hot and the snow is dry as well. Loved this video, I used to go hunting with my dad and mom up in all those canyons as a kid. Home means Nevada, home means the hills 🎶
I am gladdened by your show of respect for the property! I don't believe anything can detract from these historic places more than graffiti and vandalism. Hat is off to you!
Couldn't have said it better exactly what I thought and its great to see the history im from Western Australia and have seen same sort of abandoned buildings and dwellings up north in very remote areas and in Nullarbor.. observe and leave untouched as found
It’s not abandoned, it is a working ranch. They just don’t use those buildings anymore, only the corrals. I won’t say the name of the ranch because it will give away your location.
I was assigned to Tonopah Test Range in the 1980's. There are several of these that have been built into hill's. The front part of the structure juts out from the earth and the roof consists of mesquite wood, thatch and mud. Very, very old. The "sticks" are mesquite wood. And btw, you are likely, not in the middle of no where, but in the middle of a test range.
When our unit was running around inside of Saudi Arabian desert , we were 600 miles in the middle of nowhere. No roads at all , nothing but desert . No trees at all . The coolest moment for us is that we had finally set up a temporary camp for our Regiment and lo and behold as we were on FO guard duty , we could see a tribe of Bedouins walking with their camels and supply’s . What a sight to behold as they had traversing that are for some time .
There's no respect of others or their property today! Due to no parent training or drugs or whatever. But yes someone would find a way to destroy things!
Looks like an Owatonna self propelled windrower. Cuts and conditions hay and if needed place in a windrow. Looks too like they were trying to grow a hay crop in one variety or another It would in all likelihood had to have been irrigated.
The lettering in those 'rocks' were broken fire bricks from the blacksmith's fire. Regular bricks hold too much moisture and can explode when heated too hot, too fast.
There is a registry of cattle brands somewhere. It may hold the key to the HR you found in the wood. Don't know what happens if they become obsolete. Note that you are not looking for rattlesnakes much ... hope you have snake boots ... you did not say.
Snakes are easy to spot if you pay attention to your surroundings. I've been walking around the desert since I was 10. I've only seen a few snakes. It's a bigger problem the further south you go. Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching.
where were you in Nevada, in 5 years I will be moving and I will have about 13 years left before my kidney transplant gives up the Ghost, so that gives me some time to find out who owns what you photographed. I built the house I currently live in, in PA
First, I wish you the best. I lost my wife to kidney disease. She passed away last year. However, I can't give the exact location of the homestead. I'd like to protect it from vandalism. I will tell you it's somewhere in the desert near Battle Mountain. It's not easy to get to. You'll need a vehicle with healthy tires and substantial shocks. And, water. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.
I could've sworn it was the vacation home of the Grimace. Well, you learn something new every day. Thanks for the comment 👍. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Ive seen these many times traveling that area. I have some ancestors that moved out that was for gold in the 1800s. Ive explored those area . Heading back to actually look at land for sale .
Yeah, I've tried to live in other states, but, I always return to Nevada. It’s a weird and wonderful place. I hope you find your home in Nevada. Thank you for watching. I wish you the best.
Looks familiar..I lived closer to the California state line on the Nevada side... some areas you will drive for hours and never see another car.... Nevada has a ton of derilect abandoned settlements... Towards the end of the video I saw a small group of power poles with power transformers and wires leading to the house... You didn't get close enough to see if they have power to the main house... Might be a hunting cabin...?
