Yes, so many stories wrapped up in those old homes. Happy times, sad times, hard times. Births, deaths, these places have seen it all. At least there are some tangible reminders of the past still around, but fewer every year.
OH, MY! How cool is that. Great tour, and Great Railroad stuff. You know, I, too, am a "Railroad NUT"! Those cars were really great. Thanks for the peek at them. Can't wait for the next episode. 😮
i have postcards from 1959 when my folks were honeymooning through that area. we went there in 1975. the candy store in one of the towns had an all summer sucker on display
It hasn't been on my radar since moving my primary focus from the blog to UA-cam. It certainly would be worth another visit, especially now with drone technology to be able to fly over the prairie and see the evidence from above. I did a little photo essay on a portion of the trail back in 2015: danocan.com/2015/04/04/following-the-old-macleod-trail/
I also created a GPX file of the various locations where the Macleod Trail markers are located. Not sure if this link will work, but try it here: 1drv.ms/u/s!Av4IEQfAGdA8gskEoWcD4zZObbQzkQ
VERY NICE
Thanks.
OLD IS GOLD THANKS SIR L F mauritius
It certainly is!
An unexpected look at America. It is amazing. How unusual this village looks. Steinbeck and Dreiser immediately come to mind.
Such a different era. It really was like stepping back in time.
It is always sad to see a home from the past in disrepair. Thank you for the tour, I love our old west history.

That place just blow us away. :)
I sure loved this area when I visited years ago......Thanks for sharing Dan.....
I'd love to go back when we have more time. We barely scratched the surface and there are so many other ghost towns I want to see.

Very cool. It's a great spot. Just this morning we were just saying how we wish we could afford to take two months off and just drive around Montana.
I had no idea there was a second Virginia City. I only know the one in Nevada.
Just like I find it interesting there is Nevada City in Montana. I wonder if Nevada had a Montana City.
@@DanOCan lol
Is it in the danocan list to find those old wagon wheel ruts on the Alberta Prairie? (McCloud Trail. Min 7:25)
