Abandoned Farm and Homestead - Old Park Colorado
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2019
- You'll see a slew of abandoned farms and homesteads as you make your way East on Highway 40 and the town of Kremmling Colorado fades into your rearview mirror, you’ll pass the area known as “Old Park Colorado”. Taking a right onto CO-134 you will begin your ascent through the Gore Pass and make your way deep into Old Park Colorado.
This land was originally used by the Ute Indians, who camped in the valley for more than 1,000 years prior to the arrival of the first white settlers. During the warm months, they migrated from Utah to hunt the Bison in the Gore Pass. Early settlers; fur trappers, observed the Ute bathing in the local springs. But soon after this, they disappeared from the area with no written trace. However; clues to their existence remain evident and are of interest to archaeologists to this day...

I would like to extend a warm thank you to @TwiddleOfficial for allowing me to share their music with you. I hope you enjoy!
Yup, people who survive in sparsely populated areas, particularly in those early days, couldn't run into town for hardware or whatever, so they made do, reused things---sometimes multiple times. If younger people viewing this don't know about kerosene lamps and lanterns, let me enlighten you: those lamps and lanterns gave off a lot of light in days of yore. My folks bought a used mobile home and parked it on a relative's property in northern Wisconsin as a vacation home. We didn't have electrical service hooked up until the second summer we were there, so we had kerosene lamps to light the place after dark. An avid reader since I was a little Yard Ape, I spent the evenings reading by the light of a lamp with a bright flame inside the glass chimney. I'm sure these hardy folk didn't miss having electricity while it was unavailable to them. Nice explore, Doug.
Very enlightening indeed! I truly appreciate you sharing your experiences. It really adds valuable details and helps to shape future videos! I never considered how the kerosene lamp would have been interchangeable (depending on the availability of gasoline / electrical generation). As always thanks for sharing one of your well-put and thought out comments. Best wishes!
All I can think of now is John balushi saying cheese burger over and over again after seeing that cattle line. Love this kind of stuff. Wish we had this kind of scenery here.
🤣lol classic SNL. I am really glad that you enjoyed! All the best joker!
Why would anyone thumbs down this video? The history and sights are beautiful!
As they say "haters gonna' hate". But thank you for joining us and for the kind words. I am thrilled that you appreciated it! Best wishes.
I have NEVER seen cows walking along a highway! Interesting!
Very well presented documentary of this abandoned ranch. Your video cuts and narration are on point and enjoyable! Great job Doug! Looking froward to watching more of your videos!
I am so very glad that you like it! It takes a long time to cut these up. I honestly appreciate the kind words. Thanks for joining us and I look forward to paying your channel a proper visit soon! All the best!
I love your videos! I live back East and have only been West a couple of times. I love the history of the West and I'm fascinated by the remnants of what was. Your videos are the best I have seen, thank you for sharing.
I love it out east! But, I’ve been out west a little over a decade now. Thank you so much for the kind words, that really means a lot to me. Thank you for the support and stay safe!
Loved seeing the cattle drive! You always show the most interesting places! Thank yo u for another good one!
I am so glad that you joined us again. And I am happy you enjoyed the video! I have never seen a cattle drive that big. Thanks again!
Thank you for another historical beautiful and entertaining video. I've been through Kremmling but didn't get to see this.
You are very welcome and thank you for joining us again! I considered doing a video on Kremmling, but it's borderline deserted. Thanks again!
Hi Doug this was truly very enjoyable quite the history I'd never heard of that indian tribe till now, I love log houses alot so this was a real treat to see this old ranch, I agree the owners did make the right choice irrigation and water is extremely important, and it's cool they still graze these pastures..loved the song to..have an amazing rest of your week much love to you and your amazing family
Thank so much for joining us! Totally agree he made the right choice. We can treat water so poorly, yet we all need it to survive. I am glad you enjoyed the song. All the best mate!
@@DerelictDoug +hi Doug ain't that the truth, that song was awesome definitely something I could listen to more, thanks to amazing people like you and Cindy etc I get to experience these incredible locations and learn new things
Its pronounced like route to work. Be nice before someone slams you and gets upset. Keep it up
I appreciate the feedback and kind words. I am going to start asking everyone I speak with to pronounce the town and county I am in, lol. Thanks again and best wishes!
This is really cool looks just like something out of an old west movie neat relics left behind too
In-fact they shoot a decent amount of old west movies here. "Dances with Wolves" and "the hateful 8" come to mind. Thank you for joining us and thanks again for the wrench!
@@DerelictDoug Funny you mentioned that Doug that's exactly what I was thinking of was Dances with Wolves it's still one of my favorite movies
One of the bests for sure. I might have to dig that one up this weekend.
Hiya I liked this one, great commentary and beautiful scenery ty 🐈 👋 😍 ❤️
I am super glad that you enjoyed! Thanks for joining us for this explore! All the best!
@@DerelictDoug I'll be having a look at some of your other videos soon and yvw 🐈 ✌️ ✌️ ♥️
How awesome... Thank you!
You're welcome! I am very glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for another great video
And thank you for joining us again. I am really glad that you enjoyed it!
Excellent explore and I love the history!
Thank you so very much I am glad you enjoyed it!
P.S. I loved your video about Bodie California
Great job on the video. So many cool old buildings and junk. I also really enjoyed the different latch observation. Also many different styles of building a cabin.
Thank you kindly. I appreciate you joining us again! The different styles are very interesting to me too. I imagine it has to do with when they were built. The burnt property at the end of the video was the original log home. Thanks again for joining and all the best!
Hi Doug. Great video. I like your content. It's interesting .
I’m very glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Great Video!!! I really like your commentary and intro.
Thank you very much for the kind words. And thanks for joining us and all the best!
This is a very cool video! Love the history! Smashed the like!!
I am so glad you enjoyed and liked the video! It's great to hear from you Alex. I hope all is well (and you're still not smoking). I have not gotten any of your notifications lately but I will be sure to pay you a visit soon. All the best!
Yep. Still not smoking but been slow on videos lately. Lol
Good video. You should do one either on the history of Meyer Ranch, or do Como
I am looking forward to visiting Como in 2020. I just did a little Googling on Meyer Ranch. It looks very interesting! I will keep it on my radar next time I am near Aspen. Thanks so much for the tips and for watching!
@@DerelictDougMeyers ranch was stage stop in old days. Bailey where I live, guess was where train stopped to get ice for Denver. If want could help you with names.
I was born in Kremmling Colorado and that is in Grand County.
What a great place to be from! The location is in Routt, which is outside of Kremmling (in this case it was the closest town). And Yes Kremmling is in Grand County. I see how that could be confusing.
Thank you
Strikingly good
Thank you 🙏
Did you start from Colo Spgs? Is that a 1 day trip or 2 days? It's beautiful.
No, but that would have been a decent haul. Unless you're coming from Estes Park or Grand Lake, it's far from everything. Thanks for joining us and best wishes!
Routt County, is pronounced, as if what route do I take
Good videos and keep it up
Thank you kindly for the feedback (I wonder if we woke Mr. "Routt" up, would he agree?). However; I hear you; "route" is the regional pronunciation. This is very similar in "You-Ray" Colorado.
Thanks again for your thoughtful comment and best wishes!
