I live in a town called dallas oregon at the base of the coastal foothils there is remnants of an old logging town about 30 miles from here called val setz it was an old logging town!!
Hey everyone! Thanks for liking my video. I will be releasing another video tonight with all the interesting finds people have stumbled upon. The video is just taking me a while. Thanks again!
@@Greendew23hi, the gate is actually when you go down the scenic Highway. by angels rest there’s is extra parking. there is a long winding road that no one goes up, called Palmer mill road. Be careful if you’re gonna try going up it 🙏
I’ve been up that road. It’s been a few decades, but I had family that lived in the area. I also was a camp counselor at a summer camp on Larch Mountain, I did a lot of hiking and exploring around the camp area before setting up the camp for the season there’s still a lot of those old timber rails in existence, and I even found an old log truck and several steam powered machines. There’s a lot of history that that’s been cut off by modern day development and infrastructure.
That’s awesome I just went up it today and I got to a big washout but I’ve seen a lot of stuff near the bullet car like Ariel’s footbridge. I stumbled on this place by happenstance and it’s really intriguing to me. Cool to hear of others who have been up there! 😊
My grandfather was a logger here and my dad born in the logging camp at Palmer in 1922. He could remember the flume and the steam engine which he called a 'donkey.' I wish my dad was alive to see this video.
Ya. I got nuether after christmas. If. Trees are in pots. Trees go back in. Gota dirt bike. You go. Nederland. Treasury gweeb. Kemper palmer. Prob. Treasury not following forever allowance they listened too kill oil laughing at them fir not realizing fire. Ana corte red. Hot
"Multiple cougar sightings", that fizzled my excitement to go visit, I normally go hiking solo. Am looking forward to my new electric bike, and exploring around Mt Hood on roads closed to normal vehicles, but still outside designated wilderness areas. This area sounds cool, but that last image of the former road turned into a creekbed...looks like foot traffic only. Thanks for making this video, please make more. Subscribed!
Hi! I ran into a couple people up there who said those signs are old, from when a cougar was sighted at Angels rest. But I have also seen some photos of some cougar tracks online. I went 3 times and didn’t see anything, but I just want people to be safe. 😅
If you spend any time out in the hills you can bet your ass you’ve been watched by a cougar. People rarely see cougars but cougars see people much more than most realize.
@@guaporeturns9472 Im an Oregonian native, I've ran across more cat tracks than cats, however I've been blessed to see two large cougars up close in my truck. They were definitely curious and paced around the truck for a minute before leaving, however if I was outdoors im sure the story probably would be different. They're out there, and they see you generally before we see them. They're predatory after all!
@@alexenaku I posted another video with the findings but there’s quite a few things still in Palmer like a few buildings and mysterious old vehicles. Technically, it can still be a ghost town even if there’s nothing left of it. Thanks for watching!
Things have changed so much since then. It’s actually interesting to see a town made by a business with roads and railroads, not the government. Kinda something you don’t see today.
@@omgzLAZERpewpew Iron ore and gold mines in Australia used to build towns around their assets and have community buildings etc. But now it is mostly fly in fly out and the small towns just fade away with only a few tourists visiting.
While in Vietnam I bought 5 acres on Toll Road that’s off Brower Road. When I got home I worked at the PDX airport and would take Alex Barr road (very close to Palmer Mill) to my place. My little 8X30 foot trailer was on Young Creek and had an old sawmill on it. After 2 years I learned the snow fall was too much, I sold it and moved to Dodson.
Keep this up, would love to see more local Oregon history.
Hey I just posted a new short but I am going to post all the pictures I found of this place hopefully tomorrow

I’ve been up larch rd a lot but I don’t ever remember seeing that gate so wheee about is that road

Would love to see more of the actual road and its condition! Thanks!! 👍
@@patallen5095 sure, I’ll add all the pictures I found and was able to take

Than you for the vidjya. I will have to do some research and possibly go for a hike back in there.
I just went two days ago and saw quite a few people but just be aware of your surroundings and you’ll be all right. 😊

@@artheaj I also wish he was still around sorry for your loss
Beautiful photos, great historical find and background. Thank you.
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching my videos 😊
Dirt bike and a gun will take you almost anywhere

Except to Heaven. You'll need to add a Bible and some beans for that.

I’ll post a video of the current conditions tonight, you can definitely bike significant portions

@@guaporeturns9472I felt like I was being watched multiple times up here

Very cool video keep it up man huge fan❤
Thanks man!
History is beautiful
Been up and down that road many times.
@@kd7alt surprising amount of people up there the other day!
I'd give your video a thumbs up but something about the voice burrows into my epidermis and chaps my hide.
@@jetwrench2854 whoa! You should wear some underwear!
@omgzLAZERpewpew ❤️
How many great stories have lasers and pewpew in them?!
@ many a great story have been told about the laser pew pewing. Some people said omgz
Cool but your title is click bait, there is no ghost town unless you left it out.

This is hard labor, working for the rich. Men were men, but they were owned.
Oops AI nonsense. Don't watch

Never trust anyone who is a self proclaimed “empath” Now run along kiddo , the adults are talking.

@@BlackdogADV that’s cool to hear. I have fantasies of living up here one day but a bad winter would be a bad winter
