These cabins are kept stocked by volunteers of the national parks service. They’re kept up for avid hikers and backpackers who make their way through the area and are in need of a rest place. As well as wonderful rest areas they also serve as incredible testaments to this desert’s history.

Boy, that first cabin showed every sign of being occupied.

Death Valley has cabins like this as well. The fact is those who venture out typically respect these old places, the harder the place is to get to, the better shape they tend to be. These old treasures should be respected for future generations to share. Good find!

I like that you leave things as you found them and don't tell locations. Back in the 1960's we explored all over the desert, lots of mines and abandoned areas as a friend had a mining claim. We built a cabin (11 of us), eventually vandals found it and destroyed most everything except the mine shaft. It's sad that people think they have to destroy and shoot up everything. In any case your videos are very interesting for those of us that can't get out there anymore. By the way, that old truck engine looks like a flat head. We overhauled some of those back in the 60's.

I have heard of these places. They are for hikers and explorers who respectfully use them in need, and they are restocked and maintained by people called "Angels" or something like that. They are awesome.

I always got this sort of sad and haunted feeling exploring abandoned places. Places that once were full of life and had a purpose and now are left to decay with fading memories...

Like the little sign said "please respect". Not hard to do. Unfortunately the vandals are probable to stupid to understand.

I really respect that you guys don't share locations! I hate when people do this because the places always get wrecked. A few beautiful hidden spots around where I live were discovered by the cities hiking blog & they posted about it & then it went viral & now the campground is so destroyed they had to close the grounds for a year to help it recover from the damage of partying & heavy traffic. It's happened to a lot of places around here & nothing makes me more angry than people giving these 'hidden' locations away!! If someone wants to go bad enough, they should do their research to find the location!

Theres a lot of old abandon mining communities in the Mojave desert. Bickel camp is still mind to this day, there is an old mining community just beyond Bickle camp that still have a few cabins for folks to stay in who visit the area. Theres a few rules though (1) respect the place. (2) must leave a single item of non perishable(s) or something of use for the next person. (3) must write your experience about your stay in the notebook that is provided. You would think the cabins are abandoned but they're not.

This area is amazing. So much to explore. Lots of mines and lots of cabins. You can stay and go as you please and there are log books where you can check the last time someone’s been there. There should be a flag pole at many of these locations. You raise the flag to alert others in the area that the cabin is currently in use. There is a little area near there with a huge bus and a couple of old buildings that are very best down. Such a fun place. Could explore out there for years. The reason that vandals aren’t messing up the cabins is because they are in use a lot and frequented by the Mojave Reserve personnel.

As someone who also lives way out in the Mojave, I don't want to know how oppressively hot and boring summers in the Mojave would have been for a miners family. I wonder if they sent their families to cooler areas for the summers if they were able.

It looks like it's still lived in. The cabin at the start. Lots of signs that someone lives there at least.

Thanks for not giving out the location but sharing what you find. Things might just stay in much better shape due to you caring.

Bob's dialogue in these videos makes me smile. "Whoa, check it out! Looks old... That's pretty cool. What a trip!" Remember, Bob, impersonation is the highest form of flattery, lol! Keep doin' what you're doin'! Stumbled across this channel a couple days ago and I'm hooked. Been binge watching the heck out of them!

Sometimes those cabins are life saving you never know when somebody have a emergency situation and need a place to stay that is why respect those places is a good thing.

Saddens me when people vandalize these cabins that people put there heart and soul into. Simple people that just wanted to get away from mainstream city life. This cabins are a refuge for explorers and hikers. Take something, leave something it could be that bottle of water or can of beans that saves your life. And always as most know pack out what you pack in. Places like these are a treasure and I have personally can attest too being glad to have stumbled upon one during a week long outing. Please respect these places for others and always write the date you there.

Never reveal where you find these places never go alone. Someone is using this place. You might be watched too. Stay safe.

That whole location looks like someone still lives there. The interior buildings and the outhouse look awfully clean for being an old ghost town. I think it is still occupied.

Loved when the channel was like this.....

at 3:30 you said why you dont share your locations. Sad but so true. People suck

Went to California and Las Vegas, and fell in complete LOVE with the dessert. It was like I was finally home. 🥰 I live in VA, and it was nice to have a change of view.

I kept expecting Randy Quaid to pop out. Good old cousin Eddie. "Rattlesnake Roundup time!!"

I'm so proud of you good sir. I really think your a great travel guide. You really took us there and still had sooooo much respect. Thank you

Its a mystery why mindless vandals can be bothered to go all the way out to a place like this, just to trash it. Wtf. and a sad reflection on society. Awesome location ❤

I've stayed at a few of the old camps like this. If you read the signs on the walls, some say they are free to use, just don't destroy it for other explorers to use. One I stayed at actually asked for people to help improve the area and had a list of easy things people can do, and of supplies you could leave if possible. Fresh drinking water was #1..

I felt like I was there with you, what a nice video, you really did try to cover every area, often times other explorers have fancy music and footage but leave you wanting to see more, really enjoyed this one, down to earth, very respectful and thorough, you sound like a sweetheart, thanks and blessings to you! Always stay safe.

Looks like a volunteer cabin people keep up and anyone can stay

Another desert volunteer cabin. They are well kept for a reason. People who explore go out to these places and stay. Usually the sign of a flag from the porch indicates someone is staying in it during that time. These places are all over, if you know where to look.

You didn't even open up and read the notebook. Are you sure you didn't meet the occupant?

It's always so neat to see these little places that only time (and no vandals) has got to!!

Places like this are great for miners, campers, hikers, and anyone that is that far out and needs shelter. It is so senseless to vandalize them. It's just stupid, you never know when you may need one! Always try to leave them like you found them, and restock if possible. Happy trails!

You've gotta go to trotter road outside of Mojave. Then explore east retards Barstow. You'll find some cool places. And then just off the highway from for corners, heading towards Barstow theres a hill with some cement chimneys on them. It's an abandon military training facility from post WW2 for decontamination from fallout. The locals used to call it Christmas tree mountain. Goes three stories under ground.

I can't help but imagine these places in their hay day when people occupied it and what occurred to cause some of them just to up and leave all their possessions and never return. I get almost melancholic thinking about it. I love your guys' channel! Thanks for bringing the past alive for these forgotten places!

Absolutely AWESOME tour through the old structures. My camera is whining, “Git me out!! Let’s go take some pics!!” Excellently well-done! I’m guessing 1930-40’s-maybe some escaped convicts?? NOBODY would creep up on them there with a couple of big dogs on watch! I’d love to take a ton of B&W photos & print them myself.👍🏻

The first cabin definately Some one was there recently , sad to see and to think that many people lost jobs due to mine closing down, the photo of the oldish couple made me sad, i don't know y though , thamks for a great VID , God bless u

So eerie seeing that photo of them. Makes you wonder about their lives.

This is a "free use" cabin. If he had looked in that notebook he would have seen entries from people who have visited/used the cabin. There was probably a flag inside that is meant to be hung outside to let others know the cabin is in use since these are on a first come, first use basis. The proper thing to do is to leave non-perishable food or other supplies for the next user.

I agree with you. It is better not to share because of vandals. It is beautiful to see a place and keep it intact, preserving its spirit, as when it was seen or used for the last time. It is an awesome sensation to feel the mistery of all the objects there. Imagining energies crossing by the places...

Thank you!! For this video 👍👍 love the Mojave desert....arriva!! Arriva!! Arriva!!! You rock!!

At 4:02 omg! EDWARDS Coffee! 😂My Daddy, a WW2 Veteran, was both charismatic and hilarious! Dad: "Do u have Edwards in a can?" "Yes." Dad: "You better let him out!" 😂🤣 (i guess thats a Prince Albert joke? 😊) My Dad sd, "At my funeral, I want a recording of me SNORING played...rite behind me." 😀😂 My Daddy, my Best Friend, recently passed away. 💕🙏💕 Thx 4 reminding me of the fun we had. God bless, be safe😙😇💕

Great video!! These vids that you do like this really make me want to move back home to So. Cal. Your camera work and the clarity of the video is awesome. Thank you very much for doing what you do, I enjoy seeing the desert!! Personally, I'm with You on keeping the secrecy of your locations. Places like this need to be protected. I had to edit my opinion with the fact that the horse shoes on the doors are mounted in the correct position. If they were mounted the other way around meaning pointed down, all the luck would run out. But they've held the luck in and maybe that's why this place has not been severely damaged by vandals. Just sayin'.

The plactic as you called them sheets were used in the printing of a news paper. The were placed on a roll cylinder and clipped down on the edges. As the paper sheet rolled through the machine the roller printed the pattern onto the paper. Those were used in color printing. Each color used its on plate. At up 3 to 6 plates and you would have a picture of a sale item, clothing mostly in that size on a half or full page. Keep going love your work. John in Springtown TX. 2018 Dec. 31.

This is how based on a true story horror movies are made...

Looks straight out of "The Hills have Eyes" or something the Manson Gang would have used.

One of your best videos for sure man. Sick spot. Love from England as per usual

Thank you, for showing this, and thank you for not disturbing anything

Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Thank you for keeping the locale secret and safe!

LOL "I think we're on the right road." How often I heard my father say that. Thanks for the memory.

There must be a water source somewhere. Cistern or well? I can't see constantly hauling water out here. Also, I would expect that somewhere here is an old car body. See anything?

i remember storing my NCR armor here when I got over-encumbered

I've been watching your channel for two tonights now😍 thankful i found this kind of adventure 👍🏼 love this soooooo much guys ❤️

I think that first building was recently inhabited & probably come back from time to time. Big area to explore. Great channel 314K subs incredible.

Glad to see you and your family out and about. First time in a long, maybe a year, I've watched any of your videos.

This is where I live !!!! Good to see you explore the Mojave Desert, it's a gorgeous wonderland

The first few buildings you checked out defiantly didn`t look abandoned . Not buy the looks of the propane Coleman lanterns. The Glow mantels were all still in tact.

Great as usual! Wish I lived in the area to explore as well. FYI Cabbage patch kids was in the 1980s.

There is no dust on anything in the first cabin anywhere. It looks like it is still in use at the time you were there. Maybe a caretaker cabin or someones personal space but not abandoned.

This dude really walk inside someone house 😂

following from SICILY ...thanks man for sharing !!!!

Wow some of those cabins were in pretty good shape considering how old they are. Amazing to see that one stocked up with food. Thanks for the mention by the way. 😊 I look forward to watching you're next video. Take care EWU CREW. 😘👍✌

I appreciate that you respected the location. Its good that you dont show exact locations because there are some malevolent people that would encourage mayhem. It looks like people just left abruptly...GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.... You are BRAVE, Much respect.

A friend of mine was living in Randsburg (old mining town) when one Saturday morning he heard voices in his living room, he got up to investigate and about four people were walking around looking at his stuff, he asked them "what the hell are you doing in my house ?" they responded "oh we thought we were in a Antique shop" --LOL so is life living out in the middle of nowhere.

Came across your channel yesterday. Been watching all your vids all day today. I love the content. Awesome stuff From a NEW Fan over in ENGLAND UK

Why dont you upload videos like this one anymore?

THIS. I respect this so much. FInding places like this are like gems. Id love to take over an abandoned shed/cabin and rebuild it. My garage is exactly like this. Only filled with 50-60-70s stuff. If id ever come over to the states on holiday, this is what my holiday would look like. Love what you do.

Pretty good video guys, in England we don't really get abandoned homes let alone full towns.

18:05 Creepy chair again. I'm going to move all the stuff out except leave one chair. Why is there always a chair in every creepy shack? Great video EWU! How are you not at million subscribers yet? You find great places. Head south to Arizona soon!

Wow a whole town, very nice find, with onley one place where they regular still visit i think..

I TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT THE VANDALS! Keep doing what you do-YOU ARE AWESOME!

The first cabin that looked maintained was maintained

This appears to be part of a set of cabins that are being upkept by a historical foundation- Geer and Rogers Cabins in Mojave Preserve. "The two cabins represent the first half of the 20th century mining era in the preserve. The cabins need cleaning, structural stabilization of roofs, and repairs of windows, floors, and doors. The preserve wants to make the historic structures safe for visitors to explore and experience the early mining era and to preserve the mining history for future generations."

Glad you're still at it. Hope you're being cautious.

Did you check the floor for underground tunnels? Awesome video. Thanks a lot.

The garden he refered to, is a native gourd plant that grows throughout the desert in higher elevations. Cyotees like to eat 'em but I wouldn't!

Subbed. . Spent a couple hours searching for this place and I found it!. Secrets safe with me though. Cant wait to go!

some one is clearly staying in some of those buildings

Just ran across this video in one of my old Urbex/exploration playlists. I really miss the old Explore With Us channel! I hope the previous owners of this channel are doing well these days!

I know exactly where this is. There's another camp close to that one. The gentleman is actually burried in that valley. And yes that place is watched and has been restored

like always very very good job my Amigo Como siempre muy Buen trabajo 👍

Another awesome video and I think those white squares you were looking at lined against the wall as isulation may have been from a printing press for a newspaper? Like the templates they use to press the ink onto the paper, just my guess. Thanks again for the great video!

The engine in the old truck was an inline 6 cylinder...only six spark plugs...the old water heater was manufactured about 7 miles down the road from my area in TN. I used to work there, STATE STOVE WATER HEATERS. Back then, they did not hire many women, but as my luck would have it, they hired me...a female...on the assembly line...GREAT video! Took me to an entirely different state and to an entirely different time! Keep up the good work!

That cabin looks very clean for something that has not been lived in since 2016

I now find myself checking my emails more frequently to see if you have uploaded lol keep em coming I have at he'd every single episode.

Awesome vids guys new here just wanted to say excellent job keep up the good work I gota say I'm in queen creek AZ and don't see it in your vids you guys should check out the lost Dutchman legend pretty cool !

It"s always so cool when your the first one to find a area!

This is a great find. Very happy that you do NOT reveal it's location. Anyone can just use Google Maps to research it's location, if they really want to know. I can already feel the solitude and quiet this location offered. Thumb's UP. Thanks.

Have you ever gone into a place and someone is there?

You should have read the spiral notebook (logbook) in cabin 1

Out Standing job. Thanks for sharing looks like fun.

he cracks me up " you want to check it out? lets go" lmbo he watched to many Mister Rogers lol

The whole time I was waiting for something to come out and attack, and then the X Files theme to begin!

at 8:21 there is someone standing there...

Your excitement is contagious! Lol The second building across the outdoor eating/seating area I believe was a stage! The door you opened was the back wall of the stage (where you found original props and a stool?) Guess work, but it makes sense. Love it! And love the vid length - just like *old* times! You two are the best!

Thank you for sharing. This is awesome, I’ve enjoyed it. I don’t need to know where it is. There is a hiking trail just outside of Tucson, which was beautiful up to a few years ago. A couple of years ago some went up and now the beautiful rocks has graffiti all over them destroying the whole atmosphere.

I like to travel back in time and see how this find looked like...cool video.

I think that is one of those volunteer cabins that was restored for hikers

It's a shame that some individuals automatically assume a nearly abandoned ghost town out in the middle of nowhere and doesn't belong to them is theirs to destroy.

Love your vids. The locations have beautiful scenery and the abandoned places are incredible. Nothing like that here in NZ
