Thank you all so much for watching and for your incredible support on this deeply personal journey. Your comments and shared stories have truly touched my heart. If you're interested in more of my adventures and the stories I've captured along the way, I recommend checking out this video- ua-cam.com/video/WlrQx9GYm8s/v-deo.htmlsi=1fqm3B870A5fVE-Y. It's another piece of my journey that I hold close to my heart. Thank you again for being a part of this community and for joining me on these explorations ❤
Views are just breathtaking, sorry for your loss also, dealing with loss of my father who passed 1 year 2 mos ago. It changes you completely, Life is too short.
Your favorite is called a Territorial style home which has a Mexican influence (check out wikipedia) and the fireplaces are called "beehive" or "kiva" (they have a historical background that is intruiging) you can find this style home in other parts of the Southwest such as Taos, Santa Fe and other parts of New Mexico which is where they type of architecture came from originally. It's actually a Native American influence (Pueblo, etc.) based on ancient adobe structures rather than "cowboy" or "western" style. The desert is so beautiful in that spot it's really a shame that the whole plan is rotting and crumbling there, what a waste. So sorry about your dad, good luck with your vision quest. 🪶🌵
Jeremy, I’m so sorry for your loss. I loss my dad in 1995 and my mom in 2022. I understand what you’re going through. I am so thankful for your videos.😊😊😊😊😊😊
I bet your Dad is very proud of the man his son became. Thank you for sharing this story. It is not easy and the pain never fully goes away. He will always live in your heart until you meet again.
Michelle!! I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your father and brothers, and I admire your courage in facing your own battle with cancer. I can only imagine that it's incredibly tough to navigate such significant personal losses while fighting for your health. Your strength and resilience are truly inspiring. Thank you for your condolences and for sharing a part of your story with us. It's a reminder of the challenges and adversities many of us face, yet continue to push through. It's great to be back, and I'm really touched that you're following along despite the hurdles you're facing. Sending you thoughts of strength and hope in your fight against cancer. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Keep fighting, and I'm wishing you all the best in your recovery. Take care, and thanks again for still being here with us.
@@JeremyXplores you don't know how much what you said in your reply means to me. I truly feel like I am alone 99% of the time. Thank you for your kindness
Keep fighting it’s time for living . Look up cancer as a metabolic disease rather than a genetic pathology. Metabolic therapy through evidence based research by Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
Seriously , if you haven't already your voice belongs on narrating National Geographics or Documentary's . Have you made a demo tape ? You need to take advantage of that Golden voice.
I more than totally agree with you!! That’s one reason why I subscribed to Jeremy. I like the way he describes the videos, his voice is an added bonus.
I'm truly sorry to hear about your dad as well. It's a kind of loss that's hard to describe, and I understand the emptiness it leaves. 😢 Sending you strength and comfort. Thank you for your kind words about the adventures and videos. Sharing these experiences somehow makes the journey a bit easier. Much love to you, and let's keep moving forward together.
@@JeremyXploresLove your heart! ❤❤❤ It shines through each of your videos & touches the hearts of your viewers. Thank you for sharing YOU and all your wonderful explorations.
So true. Nothing prepares for the loss of a parent. I felt lost myself when my Dad passed unexpectedly in 2000 at the age of 69. It took awhile to get my feet back under me. So sorry for your loss. Grief is its own journey which you are experiencing and sharing. Thank you for your vulnerability. Many of us relate.
I subscribed because this video and the comments made me not feel so alone with my grief journey of losing my best friend, mentor, role model, the best man I’ve ever met, my dad! Grief is NOT linear! My dad loved the desert and was a desert rat and snow bird. He loved the Mojave Desert and would go camping there sometimes. His favorite place was the desert. Thank you for all this. Sending love and warm hugs your way. 💕
The real estate and bank crash really destroyed so many dreams and homes. There are an untold huge number of homes still abandoned, unable to sell them because of multiple owners and the confusing market shares. As to your loss, I'm sorry for that. I lost my Grandma and my freedom to the pandemic. I wish I could just fly away and figure it all out because it's so confusing to navigate these emotions in the middle of it all. But I'm trapped in a cage as I'm immune-compromised, unable to be among people anymore. I definitely understand the buildings on your channel moreso than the people that walked away from them. To be forgotten, lost, abandoned when they were so full of life, love and stories. What a sad waste. Have a safe journey!
i know a fellow who managed to "squat to own" on a development like that with realations, the owners bickered so long before taking any action that... the had taken ownership by paying the taxes and improving the property.. it was a lawyer who helped them get the place permitted who was flabberghasted that the development sat like that due to it having, i kid not 12 -fing owners who split ownership of the whole property, not per home/lot but some f-ing weird mess where tehy owned shares... worked out great for the ppl who decided to just move in and finnish the work that needed done... now it took them a few years to get the govt to split the property into proper lots but... yeah... alot of this is just maddening as they could have just sold those homes as "nearly finnished" and split the money based on ownership %... but.. yeah.. also know a guy who moved into the mansion that was abandoned after the womans husband died, she took nearly nothing and wouldnt return contact attempts even via her lawyers so... after checking the place out and confirming it was not evacuated due to problems... he moved in and started paying the taxes and did improvements to the home and land, the womans kids were PISSED when they found out they didnt own the property or land anymore, mom apparently found it amusing as, the kids were fighting to take her rights away was why she had ignored the attempts to buy the home... and the fact the lawyer told her he thought somebody had moved in and was living in the house... her kids eventually "won" but it was a hollow victory most of what they wanted was in the house and the value of the property... she moved out because after he died she couldnt live in their dream home anymore, she took what she needed and wanted and left the rest... its a damn nice home, very well thought out, and costs less to heat/cool then most normal size homes from what i have seen of his bills... the old woman was glad a family was living there and also happy to get a few items back... the rest she told them to keep or sell... but if her kids tried to buy them to triple the price LOL
why do you think that is? they're all subsidized by the state. inflation, unregulated immigration, massive foreign aid that is never reciprocated, of course it has downstream effects on the housing economy and economy in general. keep voting blue then wondering why this keeps happening
I've now watched all of your videos from beginning to end. Your ability to create stories and craft visions are extraordinary. A gift I feel that you inherit and your purpose on this journey. Thank you, this is one of the best UE channels out there.
So I lived in prescott Arizona. Real close to this town. There were a lot of crazy things to see off the beaten path. There are crazy below going mines near Lake Alameda. We camped in one. So many treasures to find if you are willing to get alittle dirty and look. Most people never go past roads and population but it's the remote unseen that is so intriguing 🤔. Only a true adventurer can appreciate. Can't wait to see this documentary you created .
@@MaryHampton-b8n Yeah; I think that's the place off 93 (going towards Phoenix) we pass by all the time. There's still billboards up advertising land and home build sites, but it's all piecemeal now - no major development behind it. A surprising number of people live out in that area, with some well-established neighborhoods as well as farms/ranches. It's not _quite_ as isolated and desolate as it at first appears, but if you bought out there you'd still have to dig a well or have your water trucked in. Mostly "off-grid".
@@MrJest2 it's been awhile since I was there but I think Kingman has quite a large mineral mine. It seems the town grew as it grew.cheep land and good paying jobs .but that's a bought it as I remember . I want to say Quartzsite is around there. That's a huge winter bird location. That and a huge rock and mineral show. But come summer it is hotter than the sun 🌞. People leave and it becomes a gohst town till winter .
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss and heartbreak. So beautifully put how you have worked your way through your grief. Nature and space has a way to heal us during those times in our life. Thank you for your travels and sharing your journey with us. You are a brilliant poet and artist.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost mine way back in 1998, but he is still with me. He lives on in my heart, and there isn't a day that I don't miss his physical presence. Dad's are truly special people. 🥰 Nice adventure and explore. Such a shame to see everything going to waste.
Oh wow! It's like you can reach up and touch the clouds. So quiet you can hear the desert talk and absolutely beautiful ❤. You know, Jeremy ,you could take one of those houses and fix it up with left from the other houses ,and it would be like living off the grid. Have some rain barrels to catch the rain when the monsoons come. I am always dreaming, lol. I can relate to your lost Jeremy. I lost my mom, dad ,and 3 brothers, my horse, and my dog within a 5 yr. period. And then lost my husband 7 yrs ago. Death has changed me, lets me know I am mortal ,and has taught me to cherish every moment I have and to love life. ❤️ I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure your father wants you to be happy ,and his spirit is keeping you safe. I am one that believes our energy never dies. I hope that I didn't overstep my bounds by saying that. Thank you again for another great adventure. It's good to see you again it has been awhile. 😊
2008 was end of so many businesses. We are self employed. Husband petro maintenance. We lost all of our savings and retirement that year. We all still in business (20 years in 2025) but absolutely remember that awful time. Terrific video!
I missed you, Jeremy. Both of my parents are gone and now I'm the old one. I'm sorry for your loss. You're my favorite explorer because you put a story to the entire video which makes me feel like I'm there too. I wish you well in your journey.💗
Hey, it's really good to be back and to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of both your parents. I can imagine it's tough transition to become the older generation in the family experience the the mix of emotions that comes with it. I think about that a lot these days after watching my dad pass away and mom now with dementia. I too will become the old one, although I've been the youngest in the family all my life. And thank you for your condolences and for such a heartwarming compliment. I'm glad that my style of storytelling in the videos makes you feel like you're right there with me on these explorations. That's exactly the kind of experience I hope to create. Your support means a lot, and I'm grateful that you enjoy the content so much. I wish you well too and hope that each of my journeys brings a bit of adventure and connection into your life. Take care and stay tuned for more explorations and stories.
@@JeremyXplores It's so easy to tell that you really had a special relationship with your Dad, sounds like he was the kind of Dad kid's without ones dream of. So much of him is in you, genetically and in how he helped shape the man you are today. I imagine your Dad's spirit walks with you now and is enjoying every journey. This is my first time to your channel. I have watched many exploratory type videos yet never subscribed til now. I like the way you think and your writing style. The way you write is like music and in today's world that is so darn rare. I am responding here to these words you wrote for a reason, it's because you mentioned your Mom has dementia. I have worked in natural health for many many years and been involved with a lot of research. Years ago I came across separate studies, using organic extra virgin coconut oil or diatomaceous earth for various cognitive disorders including dementia. In each study, dramatic and amazing results were achieved however I have yet to see a study utilizing both which I think would be mind blowing or rather in this scenario, mind awakening. Aluminum has been linked with many known brain disorders as it is known to harden the blood brain barrier, this causes the brain to essentially starve. Coconut oil is able to by pass the blood brain barrier and feed the brain directly. Diatomaceous earth rids the brain and body of aluminum thus softening the blood brain barrier and allowing the brain to once again be nourished and function properly. Coconut oil can be made into yummy candy treats and easily administered. The diatomaceous earth is added to water, isn't yummy but perhaps may be encapsulated and taken that way as long as sufficient water is consumed as well. If I knew anyone personally with dementia, I would take a month out of my life and even if they were in a home, I'd try to find a way to give them both these natural substances on a daily basis. The studies did not take that long to show a significant change in the patients, it was a matter of days. I just wrote a month because I'm thinking maybe in a month's time, that person will have enough wits about them to handle the rest of their healing and upkeep themselves. Not all people can imagine themselves doing such a thing, I remember I told a lovely Christian couple about these things, who had a parent with cognitive issues and still living in her home albeit a distance away. The idea of doing such a thing for the mother was unthinkable as their life was too busy..... At least now you have something to work with if interested...you lost one parent but maybe you can be instrumental in healing your Mom....you never know....I just wanted to share some truth with you and at least give you and her a chance and possibly more quality time to share. :)
We have missed you Jeremy, so sorry to hear about your dad, I really enjoyed the video of the houses they are huge and the landscape is gorgeous hope to see more videos from you soon, take care❤
I found this so mesmerizing! I grew up in Las Vegas, and really get what life would have been like in Silverado. So peaceful there, so sad to see such beautiful homes utterly destroyed. I’m sorry about your Dad 😢. Peace brother.
My heart dropped when you started talking about the loss of your dad. I unexpextedly lost mine in July 2023 and it's been a journey of grief and indescribable devestation. Thank you for so eloquently describing the darkest part of some of our lives - wishing you peace and healing in your travels and experiences.
My Condolences to you Jeremy. This episode really touched me 😢, I recently lost someone dear to my heart, and we would go off the beacon path where ever we go. We had a chance to drive to Phoenix Arizona, and fell in love with the desert. We wanted to do again, but didn’t get that chance. So again, through this episode, it felt as though I was there all over again. My deepest sympathy to you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
maybe it's my ignorance, or maybe it's my automotive restoration background.. but i see all these homes as being savable. yes the need to go down to the studs.. but the outer shells are beautiful. Concrete work looks great still too.
Agree, they could be salvaged. However, all of them would need to be fixed at the same time, with some kind of potential for the community. So sad seeing this happen to the builders, potential buyers, and investors. A lost dream for sure.
Vandalism and the people who commit it sucks!!! There is no earthly reason for it, except to show the real personality of those that do it. Great video, Thank you!!!!
I agree with you about vandalism, especially when it's adults who should know better doing it. Though you obviously had a different childhood or teen years Then I did Because although I dislike vandalism I do know where some of it comes from, Growing up poor and really having no control over any aspect of your life when under 18 years old, Bashing up a abandoned housing development for rich folks and the overprivileged Or smashing a mailbox in front of an enormous mansion that you know the owner paid for by Ill gotten means and Unethical business practices is very cathartic and makes you feel like for a moment your in control As a juvenile delinquent LOL
Great adventure Jeremy, I really enjoyed this one, so sad that these beautiful structures never made it to the fullest! To see them all mangled and ripped apart is beyond sad! What amazing views, so beautiful and calming. Having a coffee and sending you Cheers from V.A. 🤟 My deepest condolences to you for the loss of your dad, you stated that your bike became your salvation, it gave the wings to fly, you can't get any freer than having wings to soar! I do enjoy your story telling, you have the perfect voice for it, always respectful & lowkey.! Your pops is proud of you... ❣
Sorry for the loss of your father. My Dad passed back in 1978. My mother in 1990. All three of my siblings are gone, so I'm the only one in my family left. Old lady now. My only goal at this point in my life, is to not outlive my two sons. I'm glad you've found solace in traveling on your bike. Each of us finds our own way to deal with loss. Stay safe in your travels. I look forward to your future videos.
I'm so sorry to hear about all the loss you've experienced in your life, losing both your parents and all your siblings. It must be incredibly tough to carry on as the sole member of your family. Your strength and resilience really shine through in your words. I can understand your feelings about not wanting to outlive your sons. A mother should never have to bury her own babies. I watched my mother do that when my brother passed away of cancer in 2015. Thank you for your kind words about finding solace in my motorcycle travels. You're absolutely right- we all find our own unique ways to cope with loss, and for me, the road has been a comforting companion in this journey of healing. Your support and anticipation for my future videos means a lot to me. I'll definitely stay safe on my travels and keep sharing my experiences. Sending you strength and warm wishes, and may you find joy and peace in every day. Stay strong, and take care.
Hey, thanks a ton for such a kind comment! It's awesome to hear that you see me as a mix of an explorer and an artist - that's exactly the vibe I'm aiming for. Making these videos is a bit like painting a picture or telling a story, just with different tools. Your words really hit home and encourage me to keep pushing the boundaries of what I can create and share. Can't wait to bring you more of these 'artistic explorations'. Thanks again, and here's to many more adventures!
So deeply sorry for your loss ❤ I unfortunately know all too well what you have been experiencing. This past December marked 1 year of my dad’s passing. I know about that void and how it swallows you whole. One year before my dad passed away my life long best friend died suddenly. Loss has enveloped my life for the last two years. By the Grace of God I am just now clawing my way back from that dark place of utter sadness and grief. Please know my heart is with you. So glad you’re back. I love your videos, you have a talent for telling the untold stories. God bless ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. My own father has been gone for 5 years now, he was a WWII vet, and died one week before his 95th birthday. I had just discovered your videos before you disappeared and now I know why. I can simply drown in your voice and storytelling, you are amazing! Please be careful out there, the world is in a bad place right now, and is only going to get worse. Bless you.
Thank you for your condolences and for sharing about your father. It sounds like he lived a remarkable life, especially as a WWII vet. Reaching just shy of 95 is an incredible journey. I can imagine how much his presence is missed, even after five years. I appreciate your understanding about my absence. It's been a challenging time, but being able to come back and share these stories is a big part of my healing process. I'm so glad to hear you enjoy my videos and find solace in my voice and storytelling. That's one of the biggest compliments I could receive. Thank you for your concern and well-wishes. I agree, the world is going through some tough times, and I'll definitely be careful on my journeys. Your blessing means a lot to me. Take care, and thank you for being a part of this community. Let's hope for better days ahead for all of us. Bless you too!
@@JeremyXplores ♥ I so badly want to travel all across the country as you do. It's been on my bucket list since high school. My best friend and I were supposed to do it the year after we graduated, but she flaked on me. Then again after we lost touch and met up after decades, but she hasn't changed. I just hope it will happen someday, and I can find a place to settle away from most people, where there is beauty like you show me, natural beauty, which is everywhere in this country. Thanks for the sweet response.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It truly means a lot during this time. The loss is indeed profound, and sharing this journey with all of you helps in ways I can't fully express. Thank you for being part of this community and for your understanding and empathy.
Thank you for this awesome exploration in the Arizona Desert. It’s such a shame to see these beautiful homes being vandalized. It’s interesting how the Desert Broom comes up in the disturbed areas around the homes. Wishing you peace and comfort at the loss of your Dad.
Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the exploration in the Arizona Desert. It really is a shame to see such beautiful homes fall into disrepair and become targets for vandalism. Nature has a way of reclaiming spaces, and it's fascinating to see how the Desert Broom thrives in those disturbed areas, almost like nature's way of healing the land. Thank you also for your kind words regarding the loss of my dad. It's been a tough journey, but finding peace and comfort in moments like these, exploring and connecting with nature, and sharing it all with you, helps a lot. I appreciate your support and well wishes. Take care and stay tuned for more explorations!
I live in Gold Canyon AZ, Entrada Del Oro neighborhood & our construction layout was 500 homes, 2008 crash hit leaving 220 homes built fully and some left in half construction. The beginning of this year they started finishing the project! Whoop whoop! It's gorgeous
Hi Jeremy, Im so very sorry to hear about your Dad. May you continue to find peace. I lost my Mom in 2017 and still miss her all the time. Im looking forward to watching your amazing videos. Love your work. If you ever head out west, i will treat you to dinner. (Oregon). Keep smiling. ❤🙏🌹
You should be doing radio/voice overs. You've definitely got the voice for it. Interesting place but too isolated for me. I think about the issue of homelessness.. Those houses sit abandoned and falling into disrepair. What a wasteful crying shame. Great job!👍👍👋👋🏠
Hey, thanks for the huge compliment about my voice! Radio or voice-overs, huh? That's an idea worth considering. And I totally get what you mean about the isolation of Silverado - it's not everyone's cup of tea haha! It's tough seeing these houses just sitting there unused, especially when so many people could use a roof over their heads. It's one of those real-world contradictions that make you think.
Just found your channel. Great narrative! 💖 So sorry about your Dad. Mine passed in 2019, my Mom in 2002. It's tough being an adult orphan. They're still here with us. If you listen, & watch, you'll hear & see signs all over. Our parents are our truest unconditional love. I'm amazed you didn't come across a single rattlesnake! I lived on 40 acres in the high desert, & my only neighbor was constantly shooting massive rattlers.
Hi Jeremy, I have missed you. I am so sorry about the passing of your Dad, mine died when I was fourteen years old. I still miss him so much. I love your voice so much. Stay safe❤❤
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I’m sure your journey has been tough but being able to do what you have done, going away on your bike and grieving in your own way I’m sure was good. Take care and I’m glad that you are back!
Hi Jeremy . First I'm so sorry about your father , how your dealing with your grief is truly inspiring . I'm an East Coast explorer and I started because I was grieving . It is now my lifestyle and keeps me or should I say help's me to escape today's unfortunate sadness in the world that it offers . The beauty of exploring is what makes my world a better place . Love all your adventures , your an amazing human being. Stay safe and Peace 🤍
What you are doing Is truly beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I lost my mom, my stepdad and my grandfather from Covid within weeks of each other, so I feel your pain but it’s OK man. it really is okay now. i’m glad you were able to create this and find yourself through that pain. Your father would be so proud. God Bless.
I truly believe there is a freedom that is obtained by riding that cannot be explained without experiencing it. I’ve had life altering experiences on my motorcycles, and in more ways than one, they’ve kept me alive. Keep up the content brother. Just finding your channel but I love the style you have. Sorry for your loss, losing a parent, or anyone, is never easy.
I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on the freedom that comes with riding. It's something almost indescribable unless you've experienced it firsthand. Motorcycles have this unique way of bringing life-altering experiences and they are incredibly therapeutic. It's great to hear that you've had such profound journeys on your rides too! Thank you for the condolences and for your kind words. Losing a parent is indeed a difficult road to walk, and it's comforting to connect with others who understand that journey. I'm glad you've found my channel and that you're enjoying the style of my content. There's more to come, so stay tuned for new adventures and explorations. Thanks for joining the community, and keep riding!
It's called terra cotta. I moved to Florida recently after the death of my husband and I see that style alot. I am so sorry for the loss of Your father.I lost mine 30 years ago and I still miss him. With Recent loss of my husband (both him and my father were young) grief is so hard. I really enjoy your channel and have told quite a few people about you stay safe out there.
We lost my mother last year! I can so relate to how you are feeling. I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences are with you and your family. Deep breath Jeremy and always remember the good times with your dad. I have been through hell and still feel like it was just yesterday when she passed. Thank you for coming back to show us your awesome work of art. I do know I mentioned in the last video about your absence. Cheers Darlin and warm hugs for you.
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. Losing a parent is one of those things that just hits differently, and I totally get that feeling of it being like just yesterday. And you're right, remembering the good times is so important. It's what keeps their spirit alive in us. I really appreciate your support and understanding about my absence. It's not always easy to bounce back, but knowing there are people like you who appreciate the work makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for the warm hugs- sending some right back at you. Let's keep sharing these journeys and stories, and supporting each other. Cheers, and stay strong.
Jeremy Xplores would you fulfill my suggestion by visiting a abandoned farm and if you can find a john deere model a tractor that is good condition please and you are a sweet kind guy on youtube ♥️♥️
My heart goes out to you on your journey of living after such loss. My mother passed 12 years ago, which was the hardest thing I've ever gone through, and still, I grieve. The years make it easier, but her absence is still felt. Her baby sister, my Aunt Sharon, passed away 2 yrs ago, the last of their generation.
What a touching and heartfelt video, Jeremy.❤ “Silverado” was so interesting, for sure, but what a message you have to share about your journey of grief and self-discovery. ❤ I applaud your transparency in sharing a part of yourself that is deeply personal. May you continue to find peace and the answers you seek. 🙏❤
I lost my dad a couple year's ago. It's rough. Healing is hard and different for everyone. I'm glad your back. I missed your truly unique take on abandoned places. You have the voice for narration. You also have a great take on these places. ❤ take care 😊
So very sorry for the loss of your dad. Grief sucks worse than any other emotion. I love your videos they are so relaxing and interesting. Keep up the great work. God Bless you Jeremy, and know your dad has not left your side, he is just in another room.
Looking forward, Jeremy. Thank you for your awesome and very interesting videos. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved father, may God bless you and bring you comfort.❤❤❤
Hello Jeremy , just found you , Silverado attract me , was looking for the old town from the Western films I watch on tv . Well I am surprised that it no longer exist but you showed this sadly abandoned mansion , such waste but beautiful , and the Sky so blu , lovely to see , thank you for sharing your adventure . So sad about your Dad , wish you comfort and healing , cherish the precious memories , he is not gone but lives in your love for him. We all lost loved ones , there is a time to mourn and a time to have joy . Much love **
Brilliantly narrated. I lost my Mom several years ago and have gone thru something similar. I have found the unbeaten path is really the only place to find healing and self discovery. I love your display of self awareness and the knowing that the evolution of this time is yours and yours alone. Trying to fit into a societal culture with massive expectations about what you do next is never a good path of healing because its so controlling. I wish that you find whatever it is you are looking for and if that is unknown, that it is made apparent to you. Btw... life will always and forever be before the loss of your dad and after. Normal. Safe travels.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the narration. I'm sorry to hear about your mom, and I can relate to that journey of grief and self-discovery. You're right, sometimes it's those paths less traveled where we really find ourselves and start to heal. Your insights about self-awareness and evolution during this time are spot on. It's so important to find our own way, especially when society often has its own set of expectations. Breaking free from those can be liberating and crucial for true healing. I appreciate your wishes for my journey. I'm still figuring out what I'm looking for, or if it's even something definable. And you're absolutely right about life being divided into before and after the loss - it's a profound change that reshapes everything. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It's comforting to know others understand this path. Safe travels to you too, wherever your road may lead.
Oh dude, I commented earlier, just with excitement at seeing another video from you. I hadn’t even watched the whole video yet. I am so so sorry to hear about your father‘s passing. I will keep you in my good thoughts and prayers. I will keep watching, and frankly, this video was awesome! If you ever make it to Central, Oregon, you will always have a place to lay your head while you explore.
I live in the Mojave desert too! It can be beautiful! So sorry for the loss of your dad. Lost my dad 10 yrs ago and it still seems like yesterday sometimes. May God bless you and keep you safe! Great content! I enjoy your content!
So sorry for your loss, nothing compares to losing your parents, and Dad was the hardest. My Dad was like a rock, when you ae a kid you think they are invincible....until they aren't. Thanks for sharing your adventures, it's so sad to see those beautiful homes abandoned and trashed. I agree, I like the adobe southwestern one the best, wished I could just pick them up and move them and bring them back to life.
I'm so deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. It's a kind of heartache that words can hardly capture, and I can relate to that overwhelming feeling, that knot in your throat. It's a path of grief and healing that we walk on, and knowing that others share this journey does bring a sense of solidarity in our shared experiences. Thank you genuinely for your kind words. It's a comforting reminder that even in our darkest times, there's a light that never goes out, a spark that keeps us going. Your comment is a beacon of that light. Let's continue to honor the memories of our fathers in our actions and keep their spirit alive in our hearts. Sending you strength and warmth on your journey of healing. Much love
My deepest sympathy over the loss of your father. Sunday will be fathers day and it is a gaping hole and loneliness since my father has gone. I am glad you are back and able to make more videos. I am intrigued with all the abandoned places and people leaving everything behind. I wish you very many happy sunsets and bike rides.
Can totally relate Jeremy, the loss of my dad in 91at age 57 from asbestosis, has even to this day, left a constant void. I wasn't prepared for the death of my sister at age 39 just four years later, and in 98, my 14 year old son was struck and killed by a car. Grief my friend is a part of life, one I can assure you lasts forever. I applaud your sincerity, and if your journey helps even just one person suffering loss, you are a hero to me.
The depth and sheer magnitude of genuinely profound parallels conveyed and beautifully expressed within this video, is astounding. I clicked thinking it would be a cool & intriguing story about a ghost town of abandoned mansions, but instead was left in tears by multiple earth shattering realities. I watched it 3 times. If you reformatted it to the basic theme of simply exploring abandoned mansions in the middle of nowhere, it would still have been awesome given the unreal production value. But the nuance with which you weaved in several powerful multi-tiered metaphors into a perfectly delivered narrative, is categorically profound. My goodness.
I am so sorry for your loss, Jeremy. You are an awesome story teller, your writing so descriptive and your voice so interesting as you tell us a story we have all been waiting for. I can’t wait for the next video and accompanying story. Be safe and know your dad has to be so proud of you.
Jeremy I can’t tell you how much watching your journey is helping me with mine. I just lost my Dad this last week and am feeling completely lost and disconnected with out him. I also lost everything that I had worked so hard to get in 2008. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the connection God bless.
I adore your story and your words about your own Journey your life by motorbyke and to find your self...... . and sorry for your dad who passed away. You have an enormosly underfull words to decreibe your feelings about life through your Journey. Love you for that. Keep going. /Helen from Sweden
Jeremy so sorry about the loss of your Dad I’m dealing with the loss of my beloved sister ❤ hold on tight to all your precious memories ❤ So glad your back I absolutely love your perspective and your channel I believe you will see your Dad again 🙏🫶
I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Losing someone so close is incredibly hard. My sister is my closest friend and I can't imagine what it would be like to lose her. Again, I'm so sorry. And you're right- Holding on to those precious memories is so important- they're like small treasures that keep our loved ones close to our hearts. Thank you for sharing that with me. ❤️ And thank you for the warm welcome back and for your kind words about my channel and perspective. It means a lot to know that what I'm sharing resonates with you. Thank you for being a part of this community and for your support. It's great to be back and sharing with you all. Take care and stay strong.
This is a fascinating, amazing video. I've driven across many stretches of the US, and been fascinated by old abandoned buildings I've seen by the road and off in the distance, always wondering about their stories. BTW, the tile is called "terra cotta," and is also referred to as Spanish tile. I grew up in Southern California, and it's used a good deal on houses there. I find your piece at the end regarding your journey after your dad's death to be particularly poignant. I just read a sentence - "Grief is all the unexpressed love." I think no matter how we lose people who are close to us, there will always be that void of things we didn't get to say to them, experiences we will never share with them, etc. I lost my dad to leukemia on December 27, 2019. I took care of him during his final two weeks, to give him that loving send off and ease my mom's burden. Although I feel I had great closure, and our relationship was terrific, there still has been a good deal of processing - before and after his death. Letting go. Healing. Becoming more of my own person, regardless of how much I thought I already was. And helping my mom and sister navigate the strange world we're living in without him. I hope you find solace and peace, whether in moments or longer periods of time. Surely you will. Thank you for sharing!! 💖💖💖
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I'm glad you found the video fascinating and that it resonated with your own experiences of traveling and observing abandoned places. It's interesting how these old buildings, standing silently, can evoke such curiosity about their past. Thanks for the info about the terra cotta tiles - it's a detail that adds so much character to buildings, especially in Southern California. Your perspective on grief is profoundly touching. The idea that "Grief is all the unexpressed love" really strikes a chord. It’s true, there's always that sense of things left unsaid and experiences not shared, which creates a unique void when we lose someone close to us. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Taking care of him in his final days must have been both incredibly challenging and deeply meaningful. It sounds like you have a strong sense of closure and a great relationship with him, which is so precious. The journey of processing, healing, and evolving, especially in helping your mom and sister, is a testament to your strength and love. Thank you for your kind wishes for peace and solace. It's a journey, and hearing from others who have walked a similar path is both comforting and inspiring. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and share your story. Sending love and strength back to you and your family.
Wow! What a well done, captivating journey through the desert of a once promising neighborhood full of dreams. Only 18 days away. Thank you for telling this story for those that were not able to realize their dreams. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My father died 12 years ago and my mother is gone now too. You are so right about dealing with grief head on and straight through it! I hope your life continues to be full of many blessings!
I never had a dad after the age of 13. He just split. But I can imagine the loss you had with yours. We live the best we can after our rowdy years. I'm 76 nowadays and I still miss my dad. My mother was amazing, short, and tough as nails. Now I miss her too. I'm not alone neither are you. Exploring has ended for me except for many youtube videos. Yours has been really good, I thank you.
My mother lives with me and is on the decline. It’s hard to watch her memory go. She’s more unstable. I’m glad she’s here though so I can be with her more. I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be when she’s gone. We have always been together.
My family and I witnessed my Grandma go through dementia. It was devastating to see how much she deteriorated, and there's nothing we could do to stop it. Now she's passed on and doesn't have to suffer through that horrible disease. I hope you and your family can find comfort in one another and the happy times with your mother 🙂🫶
Prayers and strength to you. My mom passed away in her sleep in her home. I moved in to care for her the last years of her life. But I realized I was in my happiest place spending that time with her. I'm retired and now doing a little traveling now and then.
I have watched many. abandoned shows and i must say yours by far is the best and the only one I have subscribed to, I'm sorry for the loss of your father but he lives on watching you knowing he raised a great Son and person thank you for this channel and opening up also. I wish you nothing but your dreams and all you wish and need to live the life you choose in honoring your father and yourself you are someone I'm proud to call Brethren.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Maybe you are on a journey now with your dad. Showing him your new love for life. God bless you and your journey around the world. Love seeing and hearing the love for others houses and the way they lived. You are a fantastic storyteller. Peace be with you and stay safe out there! 💜🙏🥰
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It's a comforting thought that perhaps, in some way, I am on this journey with my dad, sharing with him my passion and the new perspectives on life I've discovered along the way. I thought a lot about that while I was out west in the desert. Thank you for your support of my channel and for having a shared appreciation for the stories behind these amazing places
I absolutely love your Camera work and background music/Voice. You set the scene & frame it in a way that both amazes and Calms me……..( I too lost a parent last month) I will hope every project you move onto will be one we can come along with you…..my thanks Sir and best wishes for your every healing moment on your journey. ❤️🇦🇺
Thank you so much for your kind words about the camera work, background music, and voice. It's wonderful to know that the way I set and frame the scenes brings a sense of amazement and calm. I put a lot of thought into creating an experience that's both engaging and soothing, so your feedback is really appreciated. I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your parent. Losing a parent is an incredibly challenging experience, and I'm sending you my heartfelt condolences. Remember to take the time you need for yourself during this period of grieving and healing. It's an honor to have you along for the journey, and I'm grateful for your wishes and support. I'll definitely keep sharing my projects and adventures, and I'm glad to know you'll be watching. Here's to healing moments and shared experiences. Best wishes to you too, and take care. ❤️🇦🇺
My favourite was the Adobe style house too. I'm not from the US so I'm not speaking from experience, but wouldn't Coyotes Scorpions and Rattlesnakes be a very real threat to living out there though? The motorbike shots really made me nostalgic for when I used to ride on the back of my Dad's bike. There is something about how a motorbike moves that feels like ballet, it's so graceful. 💗
My condolences for the loss of your dad. What a blessing to take a hiatus and reflect on your past, present, future while processing the loss and grief of your dad. Lovely job of filming and narrating. Thank you.
So sorry for you loss, Jeremy. My mom is clinging to life right now and it's the hardest thing to have to witness. I love your channel and will continue to watch all of the amazing abandoned homes you will conquer!
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. Watching a loved one in such a condition is incredibly tough, and I can only imagine what you're going through. Please know that my thoughts are with you during this challenging time. Take all the time you need to be there for her and for yourself. Thank you for your kind words about the channel. It's heartwarming to know that you enjoy the content, especially during such a difficult period in your life. I'll keep exploring and sharing these abandoned homes and their stories. Your support means a lot, and I hope the videos can offer you some moments of escape. Take care and stay strong. ❤️
Maybe your grief gives you the capacity to tell other grieving and dilapidated stories because you know how it feels to be empty and hurt. You share tears as you go along your journey in your motorcycle finding empty places that validate your emptiness to theirs'; what a blessing. The way you tell the empty stories of abandoned places grabs my attention. Keep it going 👍🏽.
It’s so good seeing you back and sharing your explorations! I really enjoy your ability to share your adventures and your story telling abilities … Keep on, keeping on my friend. Safe travels ❤
Thank you so much, Ronnie! It means a lot to know that you're enjoying my videos and the stories behind these adventures. Storytelling is a passion of mine, and being able to share these experiences with you is truly rewarding. Your support and encouragement are what keep me motivated to continue this journey. Safe travels to you too, and stay tuned for more adventures and stories coming your way!
@@JeremyXplores Looking forward to seeing them all. We all can tell it’s a passion of yours, that’s what makes watching you so enjoyable. Someday I’d love to learn what got you started… Thank you for sharing. I sure missed you as many others have as well. ✌️
Hey, thanks so much! I really missed being here and sharing these adventures with you too. Appreciate your condolences about my dad - it's been a rough ride, but I'm finding ways to find peace, bit by bit. It feels great to be back and getting into the swing of things again. Your support and warm welcome mean a lot. Looking forward to sharing more journeys and stories with you.
I am so truly sorry to hear about your dad. I know exactly what you mean about some things never being able to be fixed, and just carrying them. I feel that way about having lost my grandmother that raised me. She has been gone for a long time now, and it has left a hole that will never go away or be filled, but over time it has become less painful. As the years have passed and many things still often remind me of her or bring her to mind on a regular basis, I feel less angst over it and more peaceful; and am now able to think of my past time with her with joy and fond memories instead of trying to put it out of my mind to avoid feeling like I am drowning in despair. And while both of us may understandably feel that the time we had with them was not enough, at least we were blessed to have had someone that was so loved and such a crucial part of our lives that they were capable of making a hole that big. Some folks never even have that at all, and as much as losing her hurts I would not trade all of the good in to avoid the pain by wishing to have been one of them if I could do so. Your dad will ALWAYS be there with you, because you will take him along in your heart for every ride you go on.
Wow what a thought provoking powerful video.. I hope you find peace and happiness Jeremy, thank you for sharing. It’s great to have you back .. and what a great start back to sharing your exploring 😊
Wow, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that the video resonated with you in such a powerful way. Finding peace and happiness is definitely a journey, and sharing these explorations and thoughts is a big part of that process for me. Your support and welcome back mean a lot. It's great to be sharing again, and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this video as a start back into the exploring world. Stay tuned for more content - there's plenty more where that came from. Thanks again for being a part of this journey with me.
ok, first of all, I am sorry for your loss. That happened to me when I was 18 years old, I know how I felt and still feel it a little today. This is my first time visiting your channel. I like you style of showing these and I just subbed to check out more. These homes could be fixed, it would cost a lot but, they could be. I guess if someone could buy the houses cheap enough, put solar panels out and find a source for water, they could be rebuilt. I'll admit a place in the middle of no where, sounds pretty dam temping from where I live, so busy in the office etc.... sign me up ! lol
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father 20 years ago and lost my mother 3 years ago. Its a sadness that never goes away, but i long to see them again. Love your videos. Love and blessings to you.
So sorry to hear about your father's passing. It is good you were able to take a healing journey, which will take time. Thank you for sharing the beautiful desert. Those homes would have been so nice. I grew up in Arizona and had many a ride on my horse through the quiet Sonora desert.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my father too but he will always be in my heart. Your videos are amazing. Your style is what makes them special. The narrative, background music, filming, and editing makes you want to see more. You are truly talented. Take good care.
You are who your Dad wanted you to be. After loss of my parents, I missed them so much. I realized 1/2 of my Dad & 1/2 of Mom = Me. Gave me comfort to touch my arm & both parents are there in me. Blessings on your discoveries.
Thank you all so much for watching and for your incredible support on this deeply personal journey. Your comments and shared stories have truly touched my heart. If you're interested in more of my adventures and the stories I've captured along the way, I recommend checking out this video- ua-cam.com/video/WlrQx9GYm8s/v-deo.htmlsi=1fqm3B870A5fVE-Y. It's another piece of my journey that I hold close to my heart. Thank you again for being a part of this community and for joining me on these explorations ❤
I know where you are.done lots of hiking down the street
So purchasing these along with land is not even an option?
Views are just breathtaking, sorry for your loss also, dealing with loss of my father who passed 1 year 2 mos ago. It changes you completely, Life is too short.
Same thing I’ve been doing crazy
Your favorite is called a Territorial style home which has a Mexican influence (check out wikipedia) and the fireplaces are called "beehive" or "kiva" (they have a historical background that is intruiging) you can find this style home in other parts of the Southwest such as Taos, Santa Fe and other parts of New Mexico which is where they type of architecture came from originally. It's actually a Native American influence (Pueblo, etc.) based on ancient adobe structures rather than "cowboy" or "western" style. The desert is so beautiful in that spot it's really a shame that the whole plan is rotting and crumbling there, what a waste. So sorry about your dad, good luck with your vision quest. 🪶🌵
Jeremy, I’m so sorry for your loss. I loss my dad in 1995 and my mom in 2022. I understand what you’re going through. I am so thankful for your videos.😊😊😊😊😊😊
I bet your Dad is very proud of the man his son became. Thank you for sharing this story. It is not easy and the pain never fully goes away. He will always live in your heart until you meet again.
Sorry for your loss! I have lost my father and 2 brothers. I'm still fighting to survive this 3rd round of cancer. It's great to see you again.
Michelle!! I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your father and brothers, and I admire your courage in facing your own battle with cancer. I can only imagine that it's incredibly tough to navigate such significant personal losses while fighting for your health. Your strength and resilience are truly inspiring.
Thank you for your condolences and for sharing a part of your story with us. It's a reminder of the challenges and adversities many of us face, yet continue to push through. It's great to be back, and I'm really touched that you're following along despite the hurdles you're facing.
Sending you thoughts of strength and hope in your fight against cancer. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Keep fighting, and I'm wishing you all the best in your recovery. Take care, and thanks again for still being here with us.
@@JeremyXplores you don't know how much what you said in your reply means to me. I truly feel like I am alone 99% of the time. Thank you for your kindness
Keep fighting it’s time for living . Look up cancer as a metabolic disease rather than a genetic pathology. Metabolic therapy through evidence based research by Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
It's hard to fight for your life and feel alone; be alone in the fight. I pray someone comes to you, even if in spirit and you feel Love.
My condolences and may your dad RIP
Seriously , if you haven't already your voice belongs on narrating National Geographics or Documentary's . Have you made a demo tape ? You need to take advantage of that Golden voice.
I more than totally agree with you!! That’s one reason why I subscribed to Jeremy. I like the way he describes the videos, his voice is an added bonus.
Absolutely agreed❤
Seriously
So sorry to hear about your Dad. I’ve lost mine too. A loss that can never be filled 😢. Love your adventures and videos
I'm truly sorry to hear about your dad as well. It's a kind of loss that's hard to describe, and I understand the emptiness it leaves. 😢 Sending you strength and comfort. Thank you for your kind words about the adventures and videos. Sharing these experiences somehow makes the journey a bit easier. Much love to you, and let's keep moving forward together.
@@JeremyXploresLove your heart! ❤❤❤ It shines through each of your videos & touches the hearts of your viewers. Thank you for sharing YOU and all your wonderful explorations.
@@JeremyXplores u like mountain I have 300 acre's I sell u
So true. Nothing prepares for the loss of a parent. I felt lost myself when my Dad passed unexpectedly in 2000 at the age of 69. It took awhile to get my feet back under me. So sorry for your loss. Grief is its own journey which you are experiencing and sharing. Thank you for your vulnerability. Many of us relate.
Me too.
I subscribed because this video and the comments made me not feel so alone with my grief journey of losing my best friend, mentor, role model, the best man I’ve ever met, my dad! Grief is NOT linear! My dad loved the desert and was a desert rat and snow bird. He loved the Mojave Desert and would go camping there sometimes. His favorite place was the desert. Thank you for all this. Sending love and warm hugs your way. 💕
The real estate and bank crash really destroyed so many dreams and homes. There are an untold huge number of homes still abandoned, unable to sell them because of multiple owners and the confusing market shares. As to your loss, I'm sorry for that. I lost my Grandma and my freedom to the pandemic. I wish I could just fly away and figure it all out because it's so confusing to navigate these emotions in the middle of it all. But I'm trapped in a cage as I'm immune-compromised, unable to be among people anymore. I definitely understand the buildings on your channel moreso than the people that walked away from them. To be forgotten, lost, abandoned when they were so full of life, love and stories. What a sad waste. Have a safe journey!
i know a fellow who managed to "squat to own" on a development like that with realations, the owners bickered so long before taking any action that... the had taken ownership by paying the taxes and improving the property.. it was a lawyer who helped them get the place permitted who was flabberghasted that the development sat like that due to it having, i kid not 12 -fing owners who split ownership of the whole property, not per home/lot but some f-ing weird mess where tehy owned shares... worked out great for the ppl who decided to just move in and finnish the work that needed done... now it took them a few years to get the govt to split the property into proper lots but... yeah...
alot of this is just maddening as they could have just sold those homes as "nearly finnished" and split the money based on ownership %... but.. yeah..
also know a guy who moved into the mansion that was abandoned after the womans husband died, she took nearly nothing and wouldnt return contact attempts even via her lawyers so... after checking the place out and confirming it was not evacuated due to problems... he moved in and started paying the taxes and did improvements to the home and land, the womans kids were PISSED when they found out they didnt own the property or land anymore, mom apparently found it amusing as, the kids were fighting to take her rights away was why she had ignored the attempts to buy the home... and the fact the lawyer told her he thought somebody had moved in and was living in the house... her kids eventually "won" but it was a hollow victory most of what they wanted was in the house and the value of the property... she moved out because after he died she couldnt live in their dream home anymore, she took what she needed and wanted and left the rest... its a damn nice home, very well thought out, and costs less to heat/cool then most normal size homes from what i have seen of his bills... the old woman was glad a family was living there and also happy to get a few items back... the rest she told them to keep or sell... but if her kids tried to buy them to triple the price LOL
why do you think that is? they're all subsidized by the state. inflation, unregulated immigration, massive foreign aid that is never reciprocated, of course it has downstream effects on the housing economy and economy in general. keep voting blue then wondering why this keeps happening
I've now watched all of your videos from beginning to end. Your ability to create stories and craft visions are extraordinary. A gift I feel that you inherit and your purpose on this journey. Thank you, this is one of the best UE channels out there.
So I lived in prescott Arizona. Real close to this town. There were a lot of crazy things to see off the beaten path. There are crazy below going mines near Lake Alameda. We camped in one. So many treasures to find if you are willing to get alittle dirty and look. Most people never go past roads and population but it's the remote unseen that is so intriguing 🤔. Only a true adventurer can appreciate. Can't wait to see this documentary you created .
Sorry for the loss of your dad!
I live in Cottonwood, where is this place?
@@pbear83 an hour from Kingman arizons off the highway
@@MaryHampton-b8n Yeah; I think that's the place off 93 (going towards Phoenix) we pass by all the time. There's still billboards up advertising land and home build sites, but it's all piecemeal now - no major development behind it. A surprising number of people live out in that area, with some well-established neighborhoods as well as farms/ranches. It's not _quite_ as isolated and desolate as it at first appears, but if you bought out there you'd still have to dig a well or have your water trucked in. Mostly "off-grid".
@@MrJest2 it's been awhile since I was there but I think Kingman has quite a large mineral mine. It seems the town grew as it grew.cheep land and good paying jobs .but that's a bought it as I remember . I want to say Quartzsite is around there. That's a huge winter bird location. That and a huge rock and mineral show. But come summer it is hotter than the sun 🌞. People leave and it becomes a gohst town till winter .
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss and heartbreak. So beautifully put how you have worked your way through your grief. Nature and space has a way to heal us during those times in our life. Thank you for your travels and sharing your journey with us. You are a brilliant poet and artist.
This is by far the best exploration channel I have come across. I love your storytelling and the way you are so respectful of the places you visit.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost mine way back in 1998, but he is still with me. He lives on in my heart, and there isn't a day that I don't miss his physical presence. Dad's are truly special people. 🥰
Nice adventure and explore. Such a shame to see everything going to waste.
Oh wow! It's like you can reach up and touch the clouds. So quiet you can hear the desert talk and absolutely beautiful ❤. You know, Jeremy ,you could take one of those houses and fix it up with left from the other houses ,and it would be like living off the grid. Have some rain barrels to catch the rain when the monsoons come. I am always dreaming, lol. I can relate to your lost Jeremy. I lost my mom, dad ,and 3 brothers, my horse, and my dog within a 5 yr. period. And then lost my husband 7 yrs ago. Death has changed me, lets me know I am mortal ,and has taught me to cherish every moment I have and to love life. ❤️ I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure your father wants you to be happy ,and his spirit is keeping you safe. I am one that believes our energy never dies. I hope that I didn't overstep my bounds by saying that. Thank you again for another great adventure. It's good to see you again it has been awhile. 😊
2008 was end of so many businesses. We are self employed. Husband petro maintenance. We lost all of our savings and retirement that year. We all still in business (20 years in 2025) but absolutely remember that awful time. Terrific video!
I missed you, Jeremy. Both of my parents are gone and now I'm the old one. I'm sorry for your loss. You're my favorite explorer because you put a story to the entire video which makes me feel like I'm there too. I wish you well in your journey.💗
Exactly
Hey, it's really good to be back and to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of both your parents. I can imagine it's tough transition to become the older generation in the family experience the the mix of emotions that comes with it. I think about that a lot these days after watching my dad pass away and mom now with dementia. I too will become the old one, although I've been the youngest in the family all my life.
And thank you for your condolences and for such a heartwarming compliment. I'm glad that my style of storytelling in the videos makes you feel like you're right there with me on these explorations. That's exactly the kind of experience I hope to create. Your support means a lot, and I'm grateful that you enjoy the content so much. I wish you well too and hope that each of my journeys brings a bit of adventure and connection into your life. Take care and stay tuned for more explorations and stories.
@@JeremyXplores It's so easy to tell that you really had a special relationship with your Dad, sounds like he was the kind of Dad kid's without ones dream of.
So much of him is in you, genetically and in how he helped shape the man you are today. I imagine your Dad's spirit walks with you now and is enjoying every journey. This is my first time to your channel. I have watched many exploratory type videos yet never subscribed til now. I like the way you think and your writing style. The way you write is like music and in today's world that is so darn rare.
I am responding here to these words you wrote for a reason, it's because you mentioned your Mom has dementia. I have worked in natural health for many many years and been involved with a lot of research. Years ago I came across separate studies, using organic extra virgin coconut oil or diatomaceous earth for various cognitive disorders including dementia. In each study, dramatic and amazing results were achieved however I have yet to see a study utilizing both which I think would be mind blowing or rather in this scenario, mind awakening.
Aluminum has been linked with many known brain disorders as it is known to harden the blood brain barrier, this causes the brain to essentially starve. Coconut oil is able to by pass the blood brain barrier and feed the brain directly. Diatomaceous earth rids the brain and body of aluminum thus softening the blood brain barrier and allowing the brain to once again be nourished and function properly.
Coconut oil can be made into yummy candy treats and easily administered. The diatomaceous earth is added to water, isn't yummy but perhaps may be encapsulated and taken that way as long as sufficient water is consumed as well.
If I knew anyone personally with dementia, I would take a month out of my life and even if they were in a home, I'd try to find a way to give them both these natural substances on a daily basis. The studies did not take that long to show a significant change in the patients, it was a matter of days. I just wrote a month because I'm thinking maybe in a month's time, that person will have enough wits about them to handle the rest of their healing and upkeep themselves.
Not all people can imagine themselves doing such a thing, I remember I told a lovely Christian couple about these things, who had a parent with cognitive issues and still living in her home albeit a distance away. The idea of doing such a thing for the mother was unthinkable as their life was too busy.....
At least now you have something to work with if interested...you lost one parent but maybe you can be instrumental in healing your Mom....you never know....I just wanted to share some truth with you and at least give you and her a chance and possibly more quality time to share. :)
me too, first mom, then dad...worse 6 months later my brother passed away at 56.
We have missed you Jeremy, so sorry to hear about your dad, I really enjoyed the video of the houses they are huge and the landscape is gorgeous hope to see more videos from you soon, take care❤
I found this so mesmerizing! I grew up in Las Vegas, and really get what life would have been like in Silverado. So peaceful there, so sad to see such beautiful homes utterly destroyed.
I’m sorry about your Dad 😢. Peace brother.
My heart dropped when you started talking about the loss of your dad. I unexpextedly lost mine in July 2023 and it's been a journey of grief and indescribable devestation. Thank you for so eloquently describing the darkest part of some of our lives - wishing you peace and healing in your travels and experiences.
My Condolences to you Jeremy. This episode really touched me 😢, I recently lost someone dear to my heart, and we would go off the beacon path where ever we go. We had a chance to drive to Phoenix Arizona, and fell in love with the desert. We wanted to do again, but didn’t get that chance. So again, through this episode, it felt as though I was there all over again. My deepest sympathy to you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
maybe it's my ignorance, or maybe it's my automotive restoration background.. but i see all these homes as being savable. yes the need to go down to the studs.. but the outer shells are beautiful. Concrete work looks great still too.
Agreed! These homes do not have water damage even though the fixtures are gone and the drywall is destroyed. It is repairable.
Agree, they could be salvaged. However, all of them would need to be fixed at the same time, with some kind of potential for the community. So sad seeing this happen to the builders, potential buyers, and investors. A lost dream for sure.
@@marylowder2931 First thing I thought was that the developers went belly up
Vandalism and the people who commit it sucks!!! There is no earthly reason for it, except to show the real personality of those that do it. Great video, Thank you!!!!
All the energy wasted going out there just to destroy. Sad.
I never can understand why
Drugs
I agree with you about vandalism, especially when it's adults who should know better doing it. Though you obviously had a different childhood or teen years Then I did Because although I dislike vandalism I do know where some of it comes from, Growing up poor and really having no control over any aspect of your life when under 18 years old, Bashing up a abandoned housing development for rich folks and the overprivileged Or smashing a mailbox in front of an enormous mansion that you know the owner paid for by Ill gotten means and Unethical business practices is very cathartic and makes you feel like for a moment your in control As a juvenile delinquent LOL
I agree it would have been nice to see the homes in tack!
Great adventure Jeremy, I really enjoyed this one, so sad that these beautiful structures never made it to the fullest! To see them all mangled and ripped apart is beyond sad!
What amazing views, so beautiful and calming. Having a coffee and sending you Cheers from V.A. 🤟
My deepest condolences to you for the loss of your dad, you stated that your bike became your salvation, it gave the wings to fly, you can't get any freer than having wings to soar!
I do enjoy your story telling, you have the perfect voice for it, always respectful & lowkey.! Your pops is proud of you... ❣
I hope your foot and back are healing as well as your heart. So glad to see you back. Your voice and words are so captivating ❤❤❤
Sorry for the loss of your father. My Dad passed back in 1978. My mother in 1990. All three of my siblings are gone, so I'm the only one in my family left. Old lady now. My only goal at this point in my life, is to not outlive my two sons. I'm glad you've found solace in traveling on your bike. Each of us finds our own way to deal with loss. Stay safe in your travels. I look forward to your future videos.
I'm so sorry to hear about all the loss you've experienced in your life, losing both your parents and all your siblings. It must be incredibly tough to carry on as the sole member of your family. Your strength and resilience really shine through in your words. I can understand your feelings about not wanting to outlive your sons. A mother should never have to bury her own babies. I watched my mother do that when my brother passed away of cancer in 2015.
Thank you for your kind words about finding solace in my motorcycle travels. You're absolutely right- we all find our own unique ways to cope with loss, and for me, the road has been a comforting companion in this journey of healing.
Your support and anticipation for my future videos means a lot to me. I'll definitely stay safe on my travels and keep sharing my experiences. Sending you strength and warm wishes, and may you find joy and peace in every day. Stay strong, and take care.
You’re a beautiful combination of explorer and artist. This is what makes your videos so special. Thank you. ❤
Hey, thanks a ton for such a kind comment! It's awesome to hear that you see me as a mix of an explorer and an artist - that's exactly the vibe I'm aiming for. Making these videos is a bit like painting a picture or telling a story, just with different tools. Your words really hit home and encourage me to keep pushing the boundaries of what I can create and share. Can't wait to bring you more of these 'artistic explorations'. Thanks again, and here's to many more adventures!
Hello, I am Hamza. Please miss, I need 5 minutes of your time. I want to talk to you if possible🤍
So deeply sorry for your loss ❤ I unfortunately know all too well what you have been experiencing. This past December marked 1 year of my dad’s passing. I know about that void and how it swallows you whole. One year before my dad passed away my life long best friend died suddenly. Loss has enveloped my life for the last two years. By the Grace of God I am just now clawing my way back from that dark place of utter sadness and grief. Please know my heart is with you. So glad you’re back. I love your videos, you have a talent for telling the untold stories. God bless ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. My own father has been gone for 5 years now, he was a WWII vet, and died one week before his 95th birthday. I had just discovered your videos before you disappeared and now I know why. I can simply drown in your voice and storytelling, you are amazing! Please be careful out there, the world is in a bad place right now, and is only going to get worse. Bless you.
Thank you for your condolences and for sharing about your father. It sounds like he lived a remarkable life, especially as a WWII vet. Reaching just shy of 95 is an incredible journey. I can imagine how much his presence is missed, even after five years. I appreciate your understanding about my absence. It's been a challenging time, but being able to come back and share these stories is a big part of my healing process. I'm so glad to hear you enjoy my videos and find solace in my voice and storytelling. That's one of the biggest compliments I could receive.
Thank you for your concern and well-wishes. I agree, the world is going through some tough times, and I'll definitely be careful on my journeys. Your blessing means a lot to me. Take care, and thank you for being a part of this community. Let's hope for better days ahead for all of us. Bless you too!
@@JeremyXplores ♥
I so badly want to travel all across the country as you do. It's been on my bucket list since high school. My best friend and I were supposed to do it the year after we graduated, but she flaked on me. Then again after we lost touch and met up after decades, but she hasn't changed. I just hope it will happen someday, and I can find a place to settle away from most people, where there is beauty like you show me, natural beauty, which is everywhere in this country. Thanks for the sweet response.
So sad and at the same time disgusting how people vandalise properties. Something i would never do.
They are morons
Yeah I have no idea what would make people behave this way.
It’s the destruction of Capitalism, it’s a beautiful thing!!!
The desert is so stunning. Dangerous and stunning.
Thanks Jeremy for sharing your life with us. I'm sorry for your loss of your dad. It's a terrible void when we lose someone so close.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It truly means a lot during this time. The loss is indeed profound, and sharing this journey with all of you helps in ways I can't fully express. Thank you for being part of this community and for your understanding and empathy.
Thank you for this awesome exploration in the Arizona Desert. It’s such a shame to see these beautiful homes being vandalized. It’s interesting how the Desert Broom comes up in the disturbed areas around the homes. Wishing you peace and comfort at the loss of your Dad.
Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the exploration in the Arizona Desert. It really is a shame to see such beautiful homes fall into disrepair and become targets for vandalism. Nature has a way of reclaiming spaces, and it's fascinating to see how the Desert Broom thrives in those disturbed areas, almost like nature's way of healing the land.
Thank you also for your kind words regarding the loss of my dad. It's been a tough journey, but finding peace and comfort in moments like these, exploring and connecting with nature, and sharing it all with you, helps a lot. I appreciate your support and well wishes. Take care and stay tuned for more explorations!
I live in Gold Canyon AZ, Entrada Del Oro neighborhood & our construction layout was 500 homes, 2008 crash hit leaving 220 homes built fully and some left in half construction. The beginning of this year they started finishing the project! Whoop whoop! It's gorgeous
GOLD CANYON HERE IN LAS COLINAS #1

Our layout is now up to 5,000 homes!!
Hi Jeremy,
Im so very sorry to hear about your Dad. May you continue to find peace. I lost my Mom in 2017 and still miss her all the time.
Im looking forward to watching your amazing videos. Love your work.
If you ever head out west, i will treat you to dinner. (Oregon).
Keep smiling. ❤🙏🌹
Hello, I am Hamza. Please miss, I need 5 minutes of your time. I want to talk to you if possible🤍
You should be doing radio/voice overs. You've definitely got the voice for it. Interesting place but too isolated for me. I think about the issue of homelessness.. Those houses sit abandoned and falling into disrepair. What a wasteful crying shame. Great job!👍👍👋👋🏠
Hey, thanks for the huge compliment about my voice! Radio or voice-overs, huh? That's an idea worth considering. And I totally get what you mean about the isolation of Silverado - it's not everyone's cup of tea haha! It's tough seeing these houses just sitting there unused, especially when so many people could use a roof over their heads. It's one of those real-world contradictions that make you think.
So sorry for the loss of your Dad. God’s comfort, love and peace 💔😪💙🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙
Just found your channel. Great narrative! 💖
So sorry about your Dad. Mine passed in 2019, my Mom in 2002. It's tough being an adult orphan. They're still here with us. If you listen, & watch, you'll hear & see signs all over. Our parents are our truest unconditional love.
I'm amazed you didn't come across a single rattlesnake! I lived on 40 acres in the high desert, & my only neighbor was constantly shooting massive rattlers.
You’re a beautiful soul Jeremy. No matter what direction you choose, just keep moving forward.
Hello, I am Hamza. Please miss, I need 5 minutes of your time. I want to talk to you if possible🤍
Hi Jeremy, I have missed you. I am so sorry about the passing of your Dad, mine died when I was fourteen years old. I still miss him so much. I love your voice so much. Stay safe❤❤
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I’m sure your journey has been tough but being able to do what you have done, going away on your bike and grieving in your own way I’m sure was good. Take care and I’m glad that you are back!
Hi Jeremy . First I'm so sorry about your father , how your dealing with your grief is truly inspiring . I'm an East Coast explorer and I started because I was grieving . It is now my lifestyle and keeps me or should I say help's me to escape today's unfortunate sadness in the world that it offers . The beauty of exploring is what makes my world a better place . Love all your adventures , your an amazing human being. Stay safe and Peace 🤍
What you are doing Is truly beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I lost my mom, my stepdad and my grandfather from Covid within weeks of each other, so I feel your pain but it’s OK man. it really is okay now. i’m glad you were able to create this and find yourself through that pain. Your father would be so proud. God Bless.
I lived near here when they were first built. It would've been the nicest neighborhood the area had ever seen.
I truly believe there is a freedom that is obtained by riding that cannot be explained without experiencing it. I’ve had life altering experiences on my motorcycles, and in more ways than one, they’ve kept me alive. Keep up the content brother. Just finding your channel but I love the style you have. Sorry for your loss, losing a parent, or anyone, is never easy.
I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on the freedom that comes with riding. It's something almost indescribable unless you've experienced it firsthand. Motorcycles have this unique way of bringing life-altering experiences and they are incredibly therapeutic. It's great to hear that you've had such profound journeys on your rides too!
Thank you for the condolences and for your kind words. Losing a parent is indeed a difficult road to walk, and it's comforting to connect with others who understand that journey. I'm glad you've found my channel and that you're enjoying the style of my content. There's more to come, so stay tuned for new adventures and explorations. Thanks for joining the community, and keep riding!
I was once hit by Toyota…..ohhhhhh what a feeling
It's called terra cotta. I moved to Florida recently after the death of my husband and I see that style alot. I am so sorry for the loss of Your father.I lost mine 30 years ago and I still miss him. With Recent loss of my husband (both him and my father were young) grief is so hard. I really enjoy your channel and have told quite a few people about you stay safe out there.
We lost my mother last year! I can so relate to how you are feeling. I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences are with you and your family. Deep breath Jeremy and always remember the good times with your dad. I have been through hell and still feel like it was just yesterday when she passed. Thank you for coming back to show us your awesome work of art. I do know I mentioned in the last video about your absence. Cheers Darlin and warm hugs for you.
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. Losing a parent is one of those things that just hits differently, and I totally get that feeling of it being like just yesterday. And you're right, remembering the good times is so important. It's what keeps their spirit alive in us. I really appreciate your support and understanding about my absence. It's not always easy to bounce back, but knowing there are people like you who appreciate the work makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for the warm hugs- sending some right back at you. Let's keep sharing these journeys and stories, and supporting each other. Cheers, and stay strong.
Jeremy Xplores would you fulfill my suggestion by visiting a abandoned farm and if you can find a john deere model a tractor that is good condition please and you are a sweet kind guy on youtube ♥️♥️
My heart goes out to you on your journey of living after such loss. My mother passed 12 years ago, which was the hardest thing I've ever gone through, and still, I grieve. The years make it easier, but her absence is still felt. Her baby sister, my Aunt Sharon, passed away 2 yrs ago, the last of their generation.
Hello, I am Hamza. Please miss, I need 5 minutes of your time. I want to talk to you if possible🤍
What a touching and heartfelt video, Jeremy.❤ “Silverado” was so interesting, for sure, but what a message you have to share about your journey of grief and self-discovery. ❤ I applaud your transparency in sharing a part of yourself that is deeply personal. May you continue to find peace and the answers you seek. 🙏❤
I lost my dad a couple year's ago. It's rough. Healing is hard and different for everyone. I'm glad your back. I missed your truly unique take on abandoned places. You have the voice for narration. You also have a great take on these places. ❤ take care 😊
So very sorry for the loss of your dad. Grief sucks worse than any other emotion. I love your videos they are so relaxing and interesting. Keep up the great work. God Bless you Jeremy, and know your dad has not left your side, he is just in another room.
Looking forward, Jeremy. Thank you for your awesome and very interesting videos. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved father, may God bless you and bring you comfort.❤❤❤
Hello Jeremy , just found you , Silverado attract me , was looking for the old town from the Western films I watch on tv . Well I am surprised that it no longer exist but you showed this sadly abandoned mansion , such waste but beautiful , and the Sky so blu , lovely to see , thank you for sharing your adventure . So sad about your Dad , wish you comfort and healing , cherish the precious memories , he is not gone but lives in your love for him. We all lost loved ones , there is a time to mourn and a time to have joy . Much love **
So sorry for the loss of your Father. Both of my parents have been gone for some time. It truly leaves such an empty feeling in your heart.
Please do not take this the wrong way, but your videos are just so relaxing, and I love falling asleep to them... As an insomniac, I thank you 😊
Brilliantly narrated. I lost my Mom several years ago and have gone thru something similar. I have found the unbeaten path is really the only place to find healing and self discovery. I love your display of self awareness and the knowing that the evolution of this time is yours and yours alone. Trying to fit into a societal culture with massive expectations about what you do next is never a good path of healing because its so controlling. I wish that you find whatever it is you are looking for and if that is unknown, that it is made apparent to you. Btw... life will always and forever be before the loss of your dad and after. Normal. Safe travels.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the narration. I'm sorry to hear about your mom, and I can relate to that journey of grief and self-discovery. You're right, sometimes it's those paths less traveled where we really find ourselves and start to heal. Your insights about self-awareness and evolution during this time are spot on. It's so important to find our own way, especially when society often has its own set of expectations. Breaking free from those can be liberating and crucial for true healing.
I appreciate your wishes for my journey. I'm still figuring out what I'm looking for, or if it's even something definable. And you're absolutely right about life being divided into before and after the loss - it's a profound change that reshapes everything. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It's comforting to know others understand this path. Safe travels to you too, wherever your road may lead.
@@JeremyXplores I know what I don't want. What I want, exactly, isn't obvious. lol Thank you for your wonderful words.
Oh dude, I commented earlier, just with excitement at seeing another video from you. I hadn’t even watched the whole video yet. I am so so sorry to hear about your father‘s passing. I will keep you in my good thoughts and prayers. I will keep watching, and frankly, this video was awesome! If you ever make it to Central, Oregon, you will always have a place to lay your head while you explore.
I live in the Mojave desert too! It can be beautiful! So sorry for the loss of your dad. Lost my dad 10 yrs ago and it still seems like yesterday sometimes. May God bless you and keep you safe! Great content! I enjoy your content!
So sorry for your loss, nothing compares to losing your parents, and Dad was the hardest. My Dad was like a rock, when you ae a kid you think they are invincible....until they aren't. Thanks for sharing your adventures, it's so sad to see those beautiful homes abandoned and trashed. I agree, I like the adobe southwestern one the best, wished I could just pick them up and move them and bring them back to life.
This place is begging for a movie script to turn it into an unforgettable set. And the landscape is so hauntingly beautiful...
Grief is a powerful journey that seems like we are alone. Please know your dad is always by your side.
😢I have a huge knot in my throat toward the end there. I lost my Dad too last year. You are so talented , Jeremy. The light still shines. 🥰
I'm so deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. It's a kind of heartache that words can hardly capture, and I can relate to that overwhelming feeling, that knot in your throat. It's a path of grief and healing that we walk on, and knowing that others share this journey does bring a sense of solidarity in our shared experiences.
Thank you genuinely for your kind words. It's a comforting reminder that even in our darkest times, there's a light that never goes out, a spark that keeps us going. Your comment is a beacon of that light. Let's continue to honor the memories of our fathers in our actions and keep their spirit alive in our hearts. Sending you strength and warmth on your journey of healing. Much love
Hello, I am Hamza. Please miss, I need 5 minutes of your time. I want to talk to you if possible🤍
Sorry for your loss. May you find comfort.
My deepest sympathy over the loss of your father. Sunday will be fathers day and it is a gaping hole and loneliness since my father has gone. I am glad you are back and able to make more videos. I am intrigued with all the abandoned places and people leaving everything behind. I wish you very many happy sunsets and bike rides.
Can totally relate Jeremy, the loss of my dad in 91at age 57 from asbestosis, has even to this day, left a constant void. I wasn't prepared for the death of my sister at age 39 just four years later, and in 98, my 14 year old son was struck and killed by a car. Grief my friend is a part of life, one I can assure you lasts forever. I applaud your sincerity, and if your journey helps even just one person suffering loss, you are a hero to me.
My dad also died in '91 of cancer. My wide died of cancer in '16. Now I have stage 4 cancer. Waiting for Jesus. Hope He comes back soon.
Sorry for your loss make that journey it will come clear soon 🌸
Sorry for your loss. I wondered about all the tires. What a waste of these beautiful homes.
The depth and sheer magnitude of genuinely profound parallels conveyed and beautifully expressed within this video, is astounding. I clicked thinking it would be a cool & intriguing story about a ghost town of abandoned mansions, but instead was left in tears by multiple earth shattering realities. I watched it 3 times. If you reformatted it to the basic theme of simply exploring abandoned mansions in the middle of nowhere, it would still have been awesome given the unreal production value. But the nuance with which you weaved in several powerful multi-tiered metaphors into a perfectly delivered narrative, is categorically profound. My goodness.
I am so sorry for your loss, Jeremy. You are an awesome story teller, your writing so descriptive and your voice so interesting as you tell us a story we have all been waiting for. I can’t wait for the next video and accompanying story. Be safe and know your dad has to be so proud of you.
Jeremy I can’t tell you how much watching your journey is helping me with mine.
I just lost my Dad this last week and am feeling completely lost and disconnected with out him.
I also lost everything that I had worked so hard to get in 2008.
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the connection
God bless.
Sorry for your loss bro. I lost my dad too. But our fathers live on through us. God bless
I adore your story and your words about your own Journey your life by motorbyke and to find your self...... . and sorry for your dad who passed away. You have an enormosly underfull words to decreibe your feelings about life through your Journey. Love you for that. Keep going. /Helen from Sweden
Jeremy so sorry about the loss of your Dad I’m dealing with the loss of my beloved sister ❤ hold on tight to all your precious memories ❤
So glad your back I absolutely love your perspective and your channel
I believe you will see your Dad again 🙏🫶
I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Losing someone so close is incredibly hard. My sister is my closest friend and I can't imagine what it would be like to lose her. Again, I'm so sorry. And you're right- Holding on to those precious memories is so important- they're like small treasures that keep our loved ones close to our hearts. Thank you for sharing that with me. ❤️
And thank you for the warm welcome back and for your kind words about my channel and perspective. It means a lot to know that what I'm sharing resonates with you. Thank you for being a part of this community and for your support. It's great to be back and sharing with you all. Take care and stay strong.
Thanks, Jeremy. Do you have a podcast? As a former radio & TV announcer, I can say with confidence, you've definitely got the pipes!
This is a fascinating, amazing video. I've driven across many stretches of the US, and been fascinated by old abandoned buildings I've seen by the road and off in the distance, always wondering about their stories. BTW, the tile is called "terra cotta," and is also referred to as Spanish tile. I grew up in Southern California, and it's used a good deal on houses there. I find your piece at the end regarding your journey after your dad's death to be particularly poignant. I just read a sentence - "Grief is all the unexpressed love." I think no matter how we lose people who are close to us, there will always be that void of things we didn't get to say to them, experiences we will never share with them, etc. I lost my dad to leukemia on December 27, 2019. I took care of him during his final two weeks, to give him that loving send off and ease my mom's burden. Although I feel I had great closure, and our relationship was terrific, there still has been a good deal of processing - before and after his death. Letting go. Healing. Becoming more of my own person, regardless of how much I thought I already was. And helping my mom and sister navigate the strange world we're living in without him. I hope you find solace and peace, whether in moments or longer periods of time. Surely you will. Thank you for sharing!! 💖💖💖
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I'm glad you found the video fascinating and that it resonated with your own experiences of traveling and observing abandoned places. It's interesting how these old buildings, standing silently, can evoke such curiosity about their past. Thanks for the info about the terra cotta tiles - it's a detail that adds so much character to buildings, especially in Southern California.
Your perspective on grief is profoundly touching. The idea that "Grief is all the unexpressed love" really strikes a chord. It’s true, there's always that sense of things left unsaid and experiences not shared, which creates a unique void when we lose someone close to us. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Taking care of him in his final days must have been both incredibly challenging and deeply meaningful. It sounds like you have a strong sense of closure and a great relationship with him, which is so precious. The journey of processing, healing, and evolving, especially in helping your mom and sister, is a testament to your strength and love.
Thank you for your kind wishes for peace and solace. It's a journey, and hearing from others who have walked a similar path is both comforting and inspiring. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and share your story. Sending love and strength back to you and your family.
Great, great ambient music. Really sets the tone of your exploration without further degradation.
I believe this is your best video ever. Beautiful area and sad to see it wasting away!
Wow! What a well done, captivating journey through the desert of a once promising neighborhood full of dreams. Only 18 days away. Thank you for telling this story for those that were not able to realize their dreams.
I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My father died 12 years ago and my mother is gone now too. You are so right about dealing with grief head on and straight through it!
I hope your life continues to be full of many blessings!
I never had a dad after the age of 13. He just split. But I can imagine the loss you had with yours. We live the best we can after our rowdy years. I'm 76 nowadays and I still miss my dad. My mother was amazing, short, and tough as nails. Now I miss her too. I'm not alone neither are you. Exploring has ended for me except for many youtube videos. Yours has been really good, I thank you.
My mother lives with me and is on the decline. It’s hard to watch her memory go. She’s more unstable. I’m glad she’s here though so I can be with her more. I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be when she’s gone. We have always been together.
My family and I witnessed my Grandma go through dementia. It was devastating to see how much she deteriorated, and there's nothing we could do to stop it. Now she's passed on and doesn't have to suffer through that horrible disease. I hope you and your family can find comfort in one another and the happy times with your mother 🙂🫶
Prayers and strength to you. My mom passed away in her sleep in her home. I moved in to care for her the last years of her life. But I realized I was in my happiest place spending that time with her. I'm retired and now doing a little traveling now and then.
I have watched many. abandoned shows and i must say yours by far is the best and the only one I have subscribed to, I'm sorry for the loss of your father but he lives on watching you knowing he raised a great Son and person thank you for this channel and opening up also. I wish you nothing but your dreams and all you wish and need to live the life you choose in honoring your father and yourself you are someone I'm proud to call Brethren.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Maybe you are on a journey now with your dad. Showing him your new love for life. God bless you and your journey around the world. Love seeing and hearing the love for others houses and the way they lived. You are a fantastic storyteller. Peace be with you and stay safe out there! 💜🙏🥰
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It's a comforting thought that perhaps, in some way, I am on this journey with my dad, sharing with him my passion and the new perspectives on life I've discovered along the way. I thought a lot about that while I was out west in the desert. Thank you for your support of my channel and for having a shared appreciation for the stories behind these amazing places
Sorry to hear the loss of your Dad, I'm dreading the day! your Videos are great...thanks mate!
I absolutely love your Camera work and background music/Voice. You set the scene & frame it in a way that both amazes and Calms me……..( I too lost a parent last month) I will hope every project you move onto will be one we can come along with you…..my thanks Sir and best wishes for your every healing moment on your journey. ❤️🇦🇺
Thank you so much for your kind words about the camera work, background music, and voice. It's wonderful to know that the way I set and frame the scenes brings a sense of amazement and calm. I put a lot of thought into creating an experience that's both engaging and soothing, so your feedback is really appreciated. I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your parent. Losing a parent is an incredibly challenging experience, and I'm sending you my heartfelt condolences. Remember to take the time you need for yourself during this period of grieving and healing.
It's an honor to have you along for the journey, and I'm grateful for your wishes and support. I'll definitely keep sharing my projects and adventures, and I'm glad to know you'll be watching. Here's to healing moments and shared experiences. Best wishes to you too, and take care. ❤️🇦🇺
My favourite was the Adobe style house too.
I'm not from the US so I'm not speaking from experience, but wouldn't Coyotes Scorpions and Rattlesnakes be a very real threat to living out there though?
The motorbike shots really made me nostalgic for when I used to ride on the back of my Dad's bike. There is something about how a motorbike moves that feels like ballet, it's so graceful. 💗
My condolences for the loss of your dad. What a blessing to take a hiatus and reflect on your past, present, future while processing the loss and grief of your dad. Lovely job of filming and narrating. Thank you.
So sorry for you loss, Jeremy. My mom is clinging to life right now and it's the hardest thing to have to witness. I love your channel and will continue to watch all of the amazing abandoned homes you will conquer!
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. Watching a loved one in such a condition is incredibly tough, and I can only imagine what you're going through. Please know that my thoughts are with you during this challenging time. Take all the time you need to be there for her and for yourself.
Thank you for your kind words about the channel. It's heartwarming to know that you enjoy the content, especially during such a difficult period in your life. I'll keep exploring and sharing these abandoned homes and their stories. Your support means a lot, and I hope the videos can offer you some moments of escape. Take care and stay strong. ❤️
Thank you so much, Jeremy. You have a beautiful heart! @@JeremyXplores
Hello, I am Hamza. Please miss, I need 5 minutes of your time. I want to talk to you if possible🤍
Maybe your grief gives you the capacity to tell other grieving and dilapidated stories because you know how it feels to be empty and hurt. You share tears as you go along your journey in your motorcycle finding empty places that validate your emptiness to theirs'; what a blessing. The way you tell the empty stories of abandoned places grabs my attention. Keep it going 👍🏽.
It’s so good seeing you back and sharing your explorations! I really enjoy your ability to share your adventures and your story telling abilities … Keep on, keeping on my friend. Safe travels ❤
Thank you so much, Ronnie! It means a lot to know that you're enjoying my videos and the stories behind these adventures. Storytelling is a passion of mine, and being able to share these experiences with you is truly rewarding. Your support and encouragement are what keep me motivated to continue this journey. Safe travels to you too, and stay tuned for more adventures and stories coming your way!
@@JeremyXplores Looking forward to seeing them all. We all can tell it’s a passion of yours, that’s what makes watching you so enjoyable. Someday I’d love to learn what got you started… Thank you for sharing. I sure missed you as many others have as well. ✌️
Thats a long way to push a shopping cart 😂
Hahahaha that's such a good point. I wish I would have thought to say that in my video!
I am so sorry for your loss. 😢 I am glad your back tho😊. I love watching your videos 😻
Wow! Jeremy, excited to watch!
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad, you Sir have an angelic voice during narration of your videos, very beautiful voice..God bless
Nice to see you back ❤ hope you’re feeling better 🤗
the part where you shared your story and your love for your bike was the best part. I love my bike too, rode it whole day today
I missed you, man. I’m so sorry to hear about your dad :< may you continue to find peace. It’s great to see you again🙌🏻
Hey, thanks so much! I really missed being here and sharing these adventures with you too. Appreciate your condolences about my dad - it's been a rough ride, but I'm finding ways to find peace, bit by bit. It feels great to be back and getting into the swing of things again. Your support and warm welcome mean a lot. Looking forward to sharing more journeys and stories with you.
I am so truly sorry to hear about your dad. I know exactly what you mean about some things never being able to be fixed, and just carrying them. I feel that way about having lost my grandmother that raised me. She has been gone for a long time now, and it has left a hole that will never go away or be filled, but over time it has become less painful. As the years have passed and many things still often remind me of her or bring her to mind on a regular basis, I feel less angst over it and more peaceful; and am now able to think of my past time with her with joy and fond memories instead of trying to put it out of my mind to avoid feeling like I am drowning in despair. And while both of us may understandably feel that the time we had with them was not enough, at least we were blessed to have had someone that was so loved and such a crucial part of our lives that they were capable of making a hole that big. Some folks never even have that at all, and as much as losing her hurts I would not trade all of the good in to avoid the pain by wishing to have been one of them if I could do so. Your dad will ALWAYS be there with you, because you will take him along in your heart for every ride you go on.
Wow what a thought provoking powerful video.. I hope you find peace and happiness Jeremy, thank you for sharing. It’s great to have you back .. and what a great start back to sharing your exploring 😊
Wow, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that the video resonated with you in such a powerful way. Finding peace and happiness is definitely a journey, and sharing these explorations and thoughts is a big part of that process for me. Your support and welcome back mean a lot. It's great to be sharing again, and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this video as a start back into the exploring world. Stay tuned for more content - there's plenty more where that came from. Thanks again for being a part of this journey with me.
ok, first of all, I am sorry for your loss. That happened to me when I was 18 years old, I know how I felt and still feel it a little today. This is my first time visiting your channel. I like you style of showing these and I just subbed to check out more.
These homes could be fixed, it would cost a lot but, they could be. I guess if someone could buy the houses cheap enough, put solar panels out and find a source for water, they could be rebuilt.
I'll admit a place in the middle of no where, sounds pretty dam temping from where I live, so busy in the office etc.... sign me up ! lol
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father 20 years ago and lost my mother 3 years ago. Its a sadness that never goes away, but i long to see them again. Love your videos. Love and blessings to you.
So sorry to hear about your father's passing. It is good you were able to take a healing journey, which will take time. Thank you for sharing the beautiful desert. Those homes would have been so nice. I grew up in Arizona and had many a ride on my horse through the quiet Sonora desert.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my father too but he will always be in my heart. Your videos are amazing. Your style is what makes them special. The narrative, background music, filming, and editing makes you want to see more. You are truly talented. Take good care.
stay strong jeremy god he will see u through....much love
You are who your Dad wanted you to be. After loss of my parents, I missed them so much. I realized 1/2 of my Dad & 1/2 of Mom = Me. Gave me comfort to touch my arm & both parents are there in me. Blessings on your discoveries.
