I would be upset if my home became a lakebed but this is the accepted risk of your location. It will be a constant fight until it wins
You sr are petty ASF with them comments I love it jajajjajaj 😂
FUCK that’s a big gal. Don’t see many approaching that size.
Cool! I think that’s the biggest aspen trunk I’ve seen. And I live in the Rocky Mountains.
thank you for this video. There is a similar range north east near Moab which is the La Sal range. Elk really like the small scrub oaks, they can eat the acorns and the grass under the trees, it also gives them shade/cover.z I have never been to the Abajo mountains since its so far away from Civilization, but your video may have convinced me.
Thisbisnoff 12th st in norman! When i first moved here to oklahoma i lived off lindsey but drove by this all the time i wanted to sneak in so bad
Add a 0 on to your dating scheme and consider slavery, genetic engineering, and cannibalism. The petroglyphs surround ancient Anasazi land with warnings of do not enter.
Be very careful. Don't trip over the panhandling drug addict.
You should buy a drone to see in the 2nd floor windows. Or put your phone on a telescoping pole.
Doc says to much salt will kill you.
Awesome yo 4sho
look at all those chickens!
I remember fondly seeing people swimming out and climbing on it during the summer months. Haven’t tried yet myself but it’s on my bucket list for sure
I painted the yellow room if you can find it 🤣🤣
My grandma and grandpa worked there in the 50s and early 60s. My dad had to stay there a few times. My brothers worked in the kitchen when young. One brother explored the old church building and went into its basement. It was no longer used as a church, but as some sort of medical laboratory(?). I don’t really know, but he was very spooked. Grandma had lots of stories and Daddy did too. He called the place a snake pit. Wish they had renovated the place and kept it going. We need long-term facilities now more than ever.
The Oquirrhs are surely beautiful mountains. I best like them during the autumn.
I live inthe Utah Valley at the foot of Mt.Timpanogas. I have climbed Sqauw Peak once Mt. Timpanogas twice & Big Baldy more times than I can remember. I love mt biking along the Provo & Jordan rivers.
You're brave to be traveling I-80 during winter!
I love flying into the Salt Lake airport!
gorgeous!!
I drove from Kansas City to Davis CA in 2011 and traversed across I-80. I loved that road trip!
The road trace You found is a remnant of what used to be a local road that hugged the foothills a short distance, then went into the canyon about 1/2 mile before joining up to the main road into the canyon which was then US 40, now I-80, on the north side of the canyon. There was once a bridge over the creek there and it ended in a T intersection. If You look on Google Earth You will see traces of the old road.
I love this. Thank u. I live in utah and love history. No matter how small.
It has a sickly green glow a aura if you will i get physically ill when my friend. Drives past it.i get all kinds of puky
It's a old mental health hospital.
I think that's were they took us in grade school in the 60's. It was a scary place the people were mentally disturbed for sure scared us
Thank U 4 this. My curiosity is now satisfied.
Griffin Memorial Hospital, now a key mental health institution in Norman, Oklahoma, has a rich and complex history that traces its roots back to the late 19th century. Here’s a detailed look at its historical journey: 1. High Gate College (1890) Founding: High Gate College was established in 1890 by the United Methodist Church, South. It was designed as a girls' school, reflecting the era’s emphasis on education as a means of societal improvement, particularly for women. Location: The college was situated in Norman, Oklahoma, which had been settled only a year earlier during the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889. 2. Transition to a Mental Health Facility As societal needs evolved, the state of Oklahoma recognized a growing demand for mental health care. In 1915, the institution transitioned from an educational facility to the Oklahoma State Hospital for the Insane. The shift marked a significant change in its mission, from education to mental health treatment. 3. Renaming to Griffin Memorial Hospital By 1928, the institution was renamed Griffin Memorial Hospital in honor of Dr. Fred S. Griffin, a notable psychiatrist and a strong advocate for mental health care in the state. Under this new identity, the hospital became a cornerstone of Oklahoma’s mental health system. 4. Role in Mental Health Care Treatment and Innovations: Griffin Memorial served as the primary psychiatric hospital in Oklahoma for decades, offering a range of mental health treatments and serving thousands of patients. Community Impact: The hospital was instrumental in reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and advocating for better care and understanding of mental illnesses. 5. Modern-Day Griffin Memorial Hospital Today, Griffin Memorial Hospital operates under the management of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS). The hospital focuses on providing a variety of mental health services, including acute psychiatric care, substance abuse treatment, and specialized programs for different patient populations. 6. Architectural and Cultural Significance The original buildings and grounds of High Gate College have left a lasting architectural and cultural legacy in Norman. Over the years, the hospital’s expansion has included modern facilities while preserving aspects of its historical roots. 7. Impact on Norman and Beyond The institution has played a significant role in the development of Norman, contributing to its identity as a city with deep historical and cultural ties. Griffin Memorial’s history highlights the evolving understanding and prioritization of mental health care in Oklahoma and the United States.
it looks great if your in you car.
That first building was the church.
You can put air quotes on “treating”people all you want but they were housed and seen after unlike today where they’re living on the street without heat in the winter or ac in the summer and going without proper nutrition. Also if you looked across the street where all the parks are that used to be farm land where the residents tended the fields so it was a fairly well self sufficient facility but of course you’d rather they sleep under highway over passes.
Not abandoned! Still being used and hopefully now to be remodeled into a homeless shelter. Stay out!
How are they going to be able to remodel it? Especially with the flooding looks like it will be quite expensive to repair if not hazardous. Although a homeless shelter in that area would be nice, they may need to just build a new building instead unfortunately
@lizzie354 It's a series of buildings,ime a campus. A few buildings need remodeled before they can be reused, and they don't want to tear them down due to historical value. Flooding? Where?? I'm not aware of that but I don't know it all. Lol. It's a big thing right now with the city counsel and Food and Shelter trying to work it all out. It's been rough and going to get rougher. I just hope they come to a mutually effective decision... SOON! 😉
actually heard a story that there was a corrupt doctor at the hospital who would torture the patients and sometimes to death n there was a room dedicated to hiding the bodies. then it caught on fire n alot of patients and doctors died which led it to be shut down
This place was a mental hospital named Griffin Memorial Hospital
Very cool, My great great great great Grandfather was a Mormon pioneer. I bet he walked there.
Mother nature is taking back what's hers 🤷
I need to go investigate it with the team! Wish i had permission to go in and check it out!!!
@@adambeltran416 You won't get it. The police watch it like hawks. They are trying to turn it into a homeless shelter. It's a good place and a good idea for a homeless shelter there.
@SharonHaley-y8f ah, I definitely agree 💯
When I tell people I graduated from Central State, I preface the statement; with the college in Edmond not the hospital in Norman . 🙂
🥶
Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film on the Great Salt Lake. Thank you.
Upstream from Forest Road 618 is the Ward Ranch. The fence across the creek is to contain their cattle. Their Ranch House is just to the right of the creek and is private property. You can go around their land and hike into the Walker Basin and upper Walker Creek, using a road further south marked "Walker Basin Trailhead".
oh Yay! Another Roaming Benji video! My son used to live in San Jose and each time I flew out, I had to change planes in Salt Lake City. I just loved the view from above and saw the 'cows' below - but now I realize they were buffalo. How cool is that?! Thank you for pointing that out!
My brother was a patient there for several years and the doctors almost killed him. They were giving all the patients a drug called Valproic acid to sedate them. The drug was proven to have no therapeutic benefit for mental illness, but they were giving it for sedation, so they could show up for work and have a bunch of zombies that were easier to care for. They never once checked his B12 levels, when this drug is known to block B12. They also gave the patients an antacid drug daily, which prevents B12 absorption. One day my brother collapsed into a coma and was taken to a Norman medical hospital. After being in a coma for 2 days, the doctor determined he had a super high ammonia level, due to that drug. When B12 gets low, it causes methylmalonic acid to rise and this acid blocks enzymes that convert ammonia to urea. Guess what else an elevated ammonia causes? Psychosis, which my brother had. Even elevated ammonia levels that are not high enough to cause a coma, will cause hallucinations, psychosis etc. For decades my brother's psychosis was being caused by incompetent Psychiatrists. The bad thing is, in Oklahoma doctors working for the state are immune from lawsuits. Seeing this hospital brings back bad memories.
My girlfriend lives in Norman and I passed this place On my way to the smoke shop all the time Lol.
It was a mental hospital my grandmother, mother , brother and I all use to work there my mother in law and brother in law worked there also my husband also worked there when I started working there is when I met my husband
Any stories that stand out?
Wind did that.
Such a dark and scary looking place but simultaneously beautiful. I’ll stick to SoCal
That's absolutely amazing.
The water and flooding causes all those trees you see fallen. Dangerous! But so beautiful.
Not really
I have been places just like this.. all over WA/Oregon coast.. whats most incredible, is the wildlife.. Get a camera, bring the gun, just incase.
You forgot to say: “bring a fishing rod bc of native rainbow and Brooke trout” cmon man, gotta enjoy the scene and the wildlife
I have explored this hospital several times at night and have captured apparitions. One night as a friend and I were there the car radio turned on by itself, I always turn it off when exploring. Pretty cool place.
When? Do you have photos?
@@lizzie354 Indeed I do
@@shawnhainline5749 show the photos then. I doubt very seriously you've gotten in.
