  • Outside of Cima in the Mojave Preserve is this neat mine along with the original buildings at the mine camp. Many people who travel and explore the Mojave desert have probably already visited these abandoned houses.

    Stairs in my paternal grandmother's house were very steep and narrow like those you captured. Even as a young adult, climbing those stairs were a challenge.

    Camped there outside the main house on 2/25/2024 -2/26/2024. The building is in poor shape, the secondary buildings are falling apart from the inside out due to roof leaks, ceiling is collapsing, etc. Quite a large house though in its day. There were some mason jars filled with apricots in the cellar that I did not see in your video. The concrete platform at 17:46 had a date of 1980 written into it and some initials.

    I’ve been through that area Cima, Goffs , Landfair, all the way up to Searchlight and surrounding areas …. To say that it’s a little slice of what “ Frontier Settlement life “ looked like , would describe the area perfectly. Hard life indeed to Eek out an existence in those conditions of mid to high desert , minimal resources , and harsh environments( wind , heat , minimal normal rainfall with occasional downpours , etc). Hard times for most who settled there with high hopes & dreams . Thanks for sharing this one . 👍

    guess my post got deleted because I posted a link to a photo... I went about 18mos ago and the "machine shop" was still standing, returned last April to photograph the shed and it was fallen down. :( also the shed with the mill is in much worse shape and many of the tools that were around previously appear to be missing. Was the guy still living in his van on site here? I camped solo overnight to photograph throughout the night so it was a bit creepy.

    Beg to differ. The NSS Detroit Urban Grotto have a bunkhouse outside their key

    100 miles of cartography verified virgin passage exploration. In what isn't man-
    made. With underground camps served by porters to deliver drinks, food, and
    take out the trash. Porters average about 36 hours underground while explorers
    loiter twice as long. With no end of exploration in sight. Go figure...............
