- Rough Roads Lead To Ghostly Town Of St Elmo
After having been to St Elmo during the fall months, I vowed to myself if I were ever in the area again I would visit during the summer when everything is alive and open. On this trip, I just so happened to be passing through the area and decided to see what St Elmo is like during the summer months. You won't believe the difference!!

Hahahah you can make it-after gutted-you can make anything! You rock💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
This was before I knew how small and mighty dimples could be...lol...
Love old towns like this always such and adventure back in time. That is funny about thinking someone was in the window. In Williams, AZ. there's a hooker hanging out of the window waving possible customers in. Great music!
oh wow... lol... I will have to go back to Winslow and see that one of these days soon... I haven't spent a lot of time there just passed through....
I always enjoy the history you share. 😀
Thank you!!!! I really enjoy the stories that make places unique and diving into the history is a really fun way to share.
After that event you were at you made this one look easy. I liked the music you used.
lol.. this was actually filmed ahead of that event.. my uploads are a bit off on their order right now.. but this drive most certainly prepared me a bit...lol..
glad you enjoyed the more gritty sounding music.. I thought that really worked for what we were doing on this adventure
That is so cool. The buildings are still in great shape. American history.
They really are, and some have been recently worked on which has really secured them for many more years I hope.. I was very happy to see this place still looking so nice from when I was there a few years ago.. so many places fall to the wayside and deteriorate and this one is still breathing life and history!!
The scenery there was so pretty. Especially the water. I would visit just to see that. But the town also looks very neat.
It is such a beautiful place to visit and really unique and fun.... I really enjoyed going back during the busy season...
I always enjoy seeing what you’re wearing you have so many bright colors and fun sunglasses. Makes it interesting to tune in each time.
Awww thank you!!! I love the bright expressive colors that show a bit of my personality!!
I backed up the video three times to see why your rear view mirror was missing then realized, DUH 🤣
ST. ELMO reminds me of one of my favorite movies. 💖 Glad you had fun.
LOL you are the first to wonder why I don’t have a rearview mirror don’t worry… It took some getting used to to drive without it because I was so programmed to use my rearview mirror for so many things. But the nice thing is the way that my side mirrors are set up they kind of serve as my rearview mirror now
I really enjoy how you choose to share the small moments such as the humming birds and the bees. Humming birds are my favorite to feed during the summer months and I have noticed in two videos now you have highlighted them. Thank you.
Thank you!! I really think that places are all the little details you notice in person.. so often on videos the big stuff gets covered but the little stuff goes unnoticed which make it special... I decided I wanted to share the experience as a whole
It's amazing how different post colonial history looks across the country.
I agree... having seen so many places it is very cool to see how the different aspects of life have created architecture, the jobs people have had and even the way that they moved. I love that aspect of exploring!
We loved this video today... love how well you explain the historic part to us !!! The woman in the window is surely crippy. Stay safe and your music selection for this video is really nice.
glad you enjoyed the music.. I wanted to have something that fit the drive and then the town itself.. so I tried something a little fun....
the location is really amazing and to hear the old stories of how the town used to be is so fascinating.. just wanted to share a little piece of that!!
Thanks for your response. I am working on mom's van...she has one just like you. We thought your music was delightful.
I enjoy how you go to so many different places. I never thought I would enjoy some of these places but you make them fun.
You are welcome!!! I like to travel to a lot of great places which often don't appear to be something mainstream.. but the cool thing about places like this and some of the others is once you see them you can then visualize what it would be actually visit.. it is an experience in itself...
Cool town!
very much so... I really enjoy the old historic towns and the neat stories of what made them pop up and ultimately fall to ruin...
Awwww Bunny, St Elmo is a lot different then when I was there many moons ago! Hope you make it over to Cripple Creek too. What fun you must be having. I'm jelly! Oh, and if you are in Salida stop at Patio Pancake and have a pancake for me!
I absolutely did make it over and checked out the railway and their big museum.... I loved that area also it was so neat to see!!! I wish I had seen this message before I had left that area.. I would have most certainly have had a pancake!!!
I was going to travel when I retired. However, my health and COVID has kept me at home. I get to see interesting places thru your videos. You are a lucky girl.
Thank you. I try to share the world for anyone who would like to go and maybe can’t make it and I hope to inspire others to get out there and try new things even if that means staying close to home. I always try to make sure that I’m safe when doing so so that I can share more adventures and continue to keep up with what’s going on in the world… Sometimes it’s a delicate balance when you don’t have signal LOL
Another great video young lady. I really enjoy how you present the historic information behind places like this and the visuals so that we can get an idea at home or on the road of what they look like. Sharing that the road was also rough gave me some ideas that I probably would not take my full RV up this road. But I could take my truck itself and manage pretty well. Believe it or not in my younger days I used to do a lot of bumpy road driving.
I think that is a smart decision.. there are a lot of bumps that would make it harder on an RV and seeing how much it tossed my small van I think it would be less headache to detach.
@@BunnyPlaysHere I will keep that in mind. I am hoping to visit Colorado next year in addition to Utah.
I really am enjoying all of your videos of Colorado. I don't know much about that area so now I want to go.
I have several more to come.. although I think I will be breaking them up a bit with some fall content from other locations... I have so many places I am exploring chasing the turning of the season!!
I am so thankful for finding your channel. I’ve lived in Colorado for a long time but was never a camper until lately in my mini van. You are showing me some amazing places to go right here in my home and I’ll be so happy to explore each one. Thank you so much. Oh and I love your Van’s name.
Thank you!!!!! I really enjoy sharing all the fun places I visit and my goal has always been to encourage others to explore not only the places I share but also others in their backyard... I think we all have this great big world to play in so I am happy to see you will be checking out some of these places!!!
Also great to see what our little NV 200s can do
Absolutely ours NVs are small but mighty and can do so many things that people count us out from doing
Great drive to the town. Enjoyed seeing this one.
I really enjoy this area in general.. there are sooo many unique old towns that once were telling the stories of the people who were once there and called it home!!
Nice spot! Great job! I Gotta check this place out! Colorado is so cool!
Colorado and California are the home of the most old ghost towns... very cool to explore them!!
Another great video!! 😁👍🏻
Thank you sooo much!!! I really enjoy this area... sooo much!!!
Enjoyed this one. I have always been fascinated by urbanx and seeing you exploring the ghost town was cool.
There are tons of great ghost towns in Colorado but a lot of them do require 4 wheel drive.. sadly I don't have that
You go to a lot of cool places, thanks for sharing, safe travels🤗💕
I just enjoy finding unique places that aren’t always the most populated. I think that’s what makes them even more fun to discover because there’s not as much information and not everyone goes there. So once you get there it’s like discovering something really special.
I love Ghost Towns, I love History! Maybe someday, you can make it to Lincoln, NM (Billy The Kid) Country. My stomping grounds😀Also, Ft. Stanton, NM, The TV series, "Ghost Hunters" filmed an episode there. Very very eery, that place blew them away!🤣It use to be an Insane asylum, a Tuberculosis Hospital and a War Prison.😯 St. Elmo is such a beautiful little town. This video gave me happy vibes! Thank you for sharing!!😎🦋✌
I actually have been there before but it was before I was really doing my travels and recording. So I will have to return there on one of my trips through the west. Since that particular area is my main path toward the west I’m sure it will happen sometime soon.
@@BunnyPlaysHere That would be awesome! 😎🤗🌲🌻🦋✌
What a neat experience. I wonder if the kids would enjoy this. Do you think our RV could make it there?
I would not advise a larger rv for the roadway.. there also isn't a ton of parking when it is busy for a larger rig.. most people detach and move forward that way or rent an ohv and go up
@@BunnyPlaysHere good to know
Love seeing places like this that I will probably not get to,,but your camera work and back story is wonderful.
Thank you!!! My goal always is to share fun locations and unique stories and help people see what is out there.... but at the same time to allow people who don't make it to learn a bit more even if they can't see it in person!!
@@BunnyPlaysHere Thank you Bunny,,BTW, I am going back in time and viewing some of your older posts,,such great info and of course always a thumbs up!!
@@Judgementcomingsoon I will say this.. some of my really old things are much different...lol..we all start somewhere...lol
This was a nice visit to the mountains . I need to watch some of your other recent videos.
Absolutely! I have a few more coming out from the Colorado area soon… I spent a very long time there so I have plenty of fun to share
Cool little town.
Absolutely!! And having now seen it in full ghost mode and summer mode I will say it takes on a lot of different really neat characteristics. I really enjoyed stopping here!!!
That old 1885 shack is five years newer than my 1880 HOUSE I live in 🤣🤣🤣
LOL just goes to show that whatever a house is preserved and taken care of and continuously lived in that it can last a very long time LOL
@@BunnyPlaysHere Exactly!
Looks like a good drive out there. How have you been able to catch all that.
I have several camera mounts to help that I am starting to dabble with more
Till next time …. On the bunny trail
I like it... !!! I originally was going to close out all of my videos saying "Bunny Played Here" but it didn't flow right... and so instead I do my weird BYYYYEEEE...lol.. but that is sooo signature me!! BTW.. got your sticker!!!! LOVE the new design!!
@@BunnyPlaysHere ... yeah!
Very nice music
So glad everyone is enjoying the music!!! I wanted to have something that was definitely driving style music for this one... :)
Omg, when you said they chose a different name than Forest City, I flashed back to 2004 or 05 when I was car camping and took a raw dirt road outside Goodyear Bar and came out in Forest City. This was in summer and yet NOBODY was there. I stopped and was walking around when a huge dog came up to me. I love animals and so I bent down to talk with it and get some loving. A man’s voice asked what I was doing here. Scared me! He was one of the few residents of this “ghost town.” Since I was “dog approved” he opened up the museum and “his home,” which was the old meat market with the original murals and animal blood dripping down the walls. All of this while he was going down to Nevada City shopping. As a teacher I have a real love for history and that day I had this old town completely to myself of course accompanied by Bear the dog. As a photographer I was able to capture the town in its true glory! I think probably now it would have been developed and preserved like St Elmo as that was in the early stages as the citizens had just begun to restore it. Some of the buildings I ventured into were being propped up as the ground beneath was eroding. I LOVED the opportunity to see it and would love to see St Elmo now. If you’re ever in the Mother Lode country in Northern California I would highly recommend going to Forest City. Thank you again for a great video!
Oh no everything fell. I hope you didn’t have to fix it twice.
I actually rearranged things so I wouldn't have anything tossed.. it did much better on the way down the mountain
I felt like I was driving with you because of the music.
I have been trying to really select music based on my setting more so now that I have access to better music...
I have been to Animas Forks, Independence, St Elmo, & Irontron in Colorado.
I didn't think I could make it to Animas Forks after talking to someone I knew who had just been there.. they said the road was pretty rough right now
Oh my, the mannequin! 😳 I have a friend who visited a ghost town in Montana that is haunted, and she took a picture of a dresser with a small mirror on it and there was some one in the mirror that wasn't there physically!! Aaaah! So I can understand your freak reaction to the pics you took. (Now I want to go back and see your other video of this place). This looks like a fun, interesting place!
LOL that would freak me out… I have had a few instances where I’ve had weird things pop up on my camera and I’ve questioned if it was a piece of dust or if it was something else LOL who knows I just try to keep a super positive attitude and don’t think too much of it LOL
I say this respectfully, You have too many commercials. I gotta go.
UA-cam has been adding extras on some of my videos and I don’t know why I am very sorry
@@BunnyPlaysHere Thank you for your reply and I have to say I have been noticing that on other channels as well. Your videos are good and I hope to meet you in Quartzsite this winter. I will be setting out in late Oct I hope, Happy and safe travels!
