I hiked to Echo Mountain at least thirty times from Jr. High to after I got married, in the 60s to the 80s. From my jr. high math class window at Washington Jr. High, we could see them dynamite the remaining ruins. Very sad as we loved climbing around the old ruins. We hiked up the Echo Mountain Trail and also up the path of the Incline Railroad, a grueling hike. There is a working model of the Echo Mountain Incline RR, at the Train Garden in the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona. Hiked up there with my family, one last time, in the 90s. I worked with an old man who was a bootlegger during prohibition and he used to run whiskey and liquor up to the Echo Mountain Hotel, in his car.

They aren’t cannibals, cannibalism is eating one’s own species, red haired giants are not “human”, therefore them eating humans is not cannibalism. It’s a predator/prey dynamic

When I was younger and fitter we'd take the toll road up on our mountain bikes and come back down El Prieto trail. I've eaten a snack at the ruins after the climb.

Great video - keep making them and include more SoCal venues such as Riverside International Raceway, Ascot, Ontario Motor Speedway, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, Dodger Stadium, Pomona Fairgrounds, etc. Sadly, now you can even include California Speedway....

Crazy that's what's left of a town of 700+. I think in the west, water "rights", restrictions & regulations will be the new normal

Interesting story of Metropolis.

Ever notice Utopias always fail, just like your video, Llano Del Rio.

Very nicely done. Built in stages starting in 1891. From AAA: Ye Alpine Tavern opened 1895. Compound bought from Lowe by Huntington 1902. Mount Low Tavern burned in 1936.

I've lived in the area for 6 years documenting all the old military buildings before they all eventually disappear. it's really interesting learning the history from abandoned structures. Development is happening constantly so they won't be around in a couple years

Wild!

If Ft. Ord was one of the Army's premier training bases, why wasn't it updated? It already looked like a product of the 40s, 50s in the 70s and 80s.

Also whiteman speedway which is now whiteman airport

6’6” isn’t really really tall but back then were the people shorter in stature ?

Interesting report. Amazing how things have changed in 100 years, I can’t imagine what the next hundred will bring.

Why … are … you … talking …. So …. Slowwwwwwww

Crazy. I never knew about those arrows! I work for UPS the qst competition for the post office. We use the hub & spoke system and have next day air! No DC-3s still tho

Very interesting! Good report.

So $25,000 in todays monry is about $711,500

No mention of the savage new cultures moving in to clear the forest cover and replacing it with industrial agriculture!

What Giants fitting that little bitty a** cave

Their furniture was still there I saw it

Wrong. The lovelock cave is where they found duck hunting decoys and gear perfectly in tact

If they were "Giants" then eating the Paiute people would not make them cannibals. They would be predators. Just saying if you are gonna make videos about reginal oral mythology use the correct terminology. Just saying. Not mad about it I actually like content like this. Mythology from older cultures is always fascinating to me!

Way to block the view wi😂th your crappy text.

According to Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah or Sai'i are a legendary tribe of red-haired cannibalistic giants. Mummified remains of a man 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall were discovered by guano miners in Lovelock Cave in 1911.[4]: 168  Adrienne Mayor writes about the Si-Te-Cah in her book, Fossil Legends of the First Americans.[12] She suggests that the 'giant' interpretation of the skeletons from Lovelock Cave and other dry caves in Nevada was started by entrepreneurs setting up tourist displays and that the skeletons themselves were of normal size. About 100 miles (160 km) north of Lovelock there are plentiful fossils of mammoths and cave bears, and their large limb bones could easily be thought to be those of giants by an untrained observer. She also discusses the reddish hair, pointing out that hair pigment is not stable after death and that various factors such as temperature, soil, etc. can turn ancient very dark hair to a rusty-red color.

Habeas corpus- show me the proof

The acid in the poop would of bleached out any hair colour. Another dumb video.

Bones were recovered, at least one giant femur was presented to multiple assemblies, and then, the Smithsonian came to collect the bones. And, of course, as in every other story about giant remains, “there are no records of bones from Lovelock Cave.”😮

I remember buying a super Nintendo from the saugus speedway flea market

So ..They don't...

Great video

Eventually, this civilization will be gone and the river will flow unobstructed again.

Desert rats

This reminds me of the myth of the Giant of Kandahar.

Thats were id move then to get away from people!

Crazy. I had no idea that region was once lush & productive! Love how well preserved the site is.

Environmental Protection Agency needs to be charged with fixing the problems, not just shutting folks down.

Great narration only you need to pronounce Tonopah correctly which is tone-uh-paw. ❤❤❤

More people are coming to realize that The US is a third world country! It is actually worst off than many other third world countries!

Wow. EPA shuts down due to leaking tanks while fracking has decimated underground water down the east coast thanks to a Dick Cheney driven exemptions in regulations for his Halliburton buddies. USA is messed up.

Wow one thing is closed and the others follow. The symbiotic relationship was destroyed

There are so many small towns everywhere in the US like this

Coaldale is still an active town on Alberta with a population of over 8000 in 2016

Very cool except for the big yellow captions dead center

There is more to it than just leaking fuel tanks.

Omfg. This is real life Radiator Springs from Disney's movie Cars. Sad.

Sad.

I used to drive this area frequently when the town was still somewhat active. Never stopped but now wish I would have.
