Brian according to a vague website, that house was built by Hommer C. Kenner. He was 12th of 14 children to James & Gracie (Miller) Kenner. He worked the family ranch with his brothers & sisters. He married Clarebelle Elley in 1954, they moved into that log cabin house in 1967 while they built the new house, construction on the new house started in 1968. That log cabin was built in 1894 by Hommer's great grandfather. In the late 70's he moved his family to Minnesota to take a teaching job with the University of Minnesota. He died Jan. 11, 2020. The Kenner Ranch and that log cabin and house were all donated to the State Of Colorado. From the early 1980's to mid 1990's the house was used as a hunting lodge.....
KELLY ! What a nice surprise ending ! ... Very nice video Brain , I loved seeing the old abandoned homestead that was in the valley. Thumbs UP to you :-)
You made what the Yoopers call a pasty .meat potatoes carrots onions rutabagas and lard.. it's what the Scandinavian silver miners brought with them from the old country to the upper peninsula of Michigan they would pack them and take them into the copper mines for lunch and they heated them on their shovel over their lantern . If you want to eat the best ones on the planet and you're ever in the upper peninsula again stop in munising at a place called Muldoon's. They have the best ones I've ever eaten.
@@AdventureVanMan Oh, my mistake, I thought freedom of the open road adventure while being together was the "best part" .....selfish me, just wanting more, my apologies!
Brian that place looked magical ! Great idea wearing that hat. We want you around for a long time brother ! Your content is inspiring! Nice little surprise with Kellie (sp?)at the end haha. That made me laugh. Safe Travels Amigos !! 👊🏼👊🏼
Brian, the orange hat is very smart! However I wanted to tell you that most hunter regulations call for at least 400 square inches of orange, so I would recommend you also get an orange vest. Keep up the awesome videos!
Oh my heavens it was so cool to see Kelly at the end. Love it when you go on the adventure hikes and looked to be a relatively newer home due to the siding and roof. Apparently someone lived there at one time and what a place to live at. Hi Kelly Brian enjoyed seeing the area. Take care and hugs to both.
What fun - I love finding abandoned homes out in the wild. It's a reminder of how much has changed as the West continues to dry up & its cool to see how independent people used to be. Think of all the skills people had to have & the planning it would have taken to get by between trips to town! Hi Kelly! Nice to see you. Those empanadas with all the veggies looked great.
Cornish pasties, smothered in brown gravy... good old immigrant northern Minnesota and Michigan ore mining grub! Best food around! 😋 Here's an interesting Duluth MN bit of history: used to be a long standing stripper bar down by the lake shore named Club Saratoga. Attached to the building was a little diner that fed the local workers for lunch. It was the industrial area back before tourism took over. They served the best pasties one day every week. Only place that made use of the word Pasties in both ways that I know about. 🤣
YAY! Kelly is back! That was a great find, (the old Kenner Ranch) thanks for sharing. Also, I recommend next time using pie crust for the meat pies, they looked really tasty. Take care and stay safe. Peace.
Try using pie crust next time for the meat pies. I put ground beef mixed with taco seasoning and then add cheese and fold it like you did. 🤙🏻 great with sour cream and hot sauce or salsa
What a beautiful fine to find abandoned house if those walls could talk and tell you the stories of the people that used to live there Simply Beautiful peaceful and tranquil
I bought mine a year ago, stayed in my van and I finally used my Fireside Outdoor Pop-Up-Pit for the first time over the Thanksgiving holiday. What a gem of finding that old ranch house, if it could tell of the stories of the past.
Thanks! That was very interesting. You could spend a while exploring that canyon, a very picturesque area. I think at least one of the Kenners moved to La Junta. A hundred miles east on highway 10 there is a Kenner Ranch on flat land: 28109 Co Rd Y La Junta, Colorado
Was so happy to see a new video posted!, my husband walked past the tv & heard your voice and his eyes lit up & he said,” he’s got a new one already?” The ending was wonderful seeing Kelly’s face, we looked at each other in excitement 🤣, good ending!
Kelly, glad to see you made it out west! Brian, I bought the 12 x 12 pop up pit in June. It has the grill grate on top. I really like it. Awesome video!!
Yup, we're all wearing orange now! Colorado strikes me with it's variety of terrain. Noticed that fire tray, good to hear you like so far.👍😎🇨🇦🔥 HI Kelly! Nice to see you!
Great adventure started with breakfast went on a walk came upon a mystery house watched the sunset treated with dinner and a peek of your traveling companion .
Having grown up in flat lands of Eastern VA, I always find the vistas available in more variegated terrain captivating. I need to get out there and see some of that in person. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome episode. Those meat pies did look goooood! I always try to wonder how hard it must have been to live out there especially in that old cabin, great find.
Fascinating canyon. Brian, the explorer!! Thanks for sharing. Too bad we couldn't peek inside. Probably nothing there, though. Yay, Kelly is back. I missed you, Kelly. Such a sweet smile. Great company.
Love it! WOW I really enjoyed this video I love getting out and exploring new areas. Keep showing us new recipes. I'm definitely going to try that meat pie Looks delicious You should have a segment on cooking while camping exploring different recipes. Thanks 👍 Thanks Bud.
Your videos combine Van life, hiking, outdoor adventure, and culinary! Great combination and your storytelling always draws us in. Thanks again Brian (or “Brian Beets” as I refer to you!) Namaste
Hey Brian..was wondering about your portable fire pit..looks pretty cool 👍 Great place to explore..nice to see Kelly caught up to you ! Take care and enjoy 😁
Great video Brian! What a beautiful location. Broke into a big smile at your special guest at the end! 💗😊 Hoping to catch up with you in Jan. We're camp hosting at Padre Island right now. Happy trails!
Thanks for another fine video, Brian. :D I think the pop up firepit is an excellent idea. You'll be able to have fires in many places when ground fires are prohibited. Years ago I used to carry the lid from an old metal garbage can for the same purpose. I always loved having a fire in the evening. I'm happy to see Kelly back too!
mix a quarter to a half tea of baking soda when you brown ground beef . For every pound of ground beef, a good rule of thumb is to . Maillard reaction-the “chemical between amino acids and reducing sugars” that gives browned food its look and flavor
Great find, I noticed the basement door was ajar ... just say'in. I just made Spaghetti Bolognese with onions, mushies, fresh baby tomatoes and Italian tomato sauce ... yum.
Cool area to be camped with the canyon right out your back door. The one lonely tree down in the canyon still holding on to its leaves in fall colors really stood out. Hi Kelly ☮
I remember when I lived in Silverthorne, Colorado, I would hike the mountains, and would come across old camps and abandoned mining towns. It was great.
Such a sweet ending. But let's back up. And to think when you dropped in on this place you were just wanting to find a spot to camp. You seemed to have no idea what was there and now look. All that amazing stuff is there.

Wow thank you so much. How interesting
Thanks!!
That was a lot of labor put into a house not lived in long. Thank you for this info!
Thanks for the update 🎁
Thank you for your time and effort in researching this info.
KELLY ! What a nice surprise ending ! ... Very nice video Brain , I loved seeing the old abandoned homestead that was in the valley. Thumbs UP to you :-)
Hey a Kelly cameo ! 😀
That was perfect !
I was like... wait, someone is holding that camera... I bet I know who!
Brian great video beautiful place! Thanks.
Heartwarming to know the lovely Kelly is with you. Best wishes to you both.

Picture Perfect Day Amazing Find Love the Kenner House ❤️✌️ hidden gems !!! hi Kelly
I am fascinated with abandoned structures. Thanks for the tour! I am going to try your supper idea. Great seeing Kelly! That was cute 🥰
That was really sneaky Brian, getting Kelly in at the laat minute. I love it!
So beautiful. You make me hungry every time you cook! Greetings from Australia.
Absolutely beautiful area.
Add abandoned homes and catch and cook to your kayaking adventures and you and Kelly would never need to work seasonal jobs again......js : )
Lol, the seasonal jobs are the best part of my life! 👍🏼✌🏼

Excellent video Brian ! It's good to see Kelly caught up with you. Peace to you both ✌️
Ha ha, I had a thought of Kelly when I saw how much dinner you were making. 👍🏻🇺🇸. 🥂🍜✌🏻

Interesting video but the best was the smile on your face after Kelly said “see ya”!
Thanks Brother. You rock.
Thank you for sharing with us !
When Brian say “it is pretty fantastic” time to hold off on work and look up , damn that was amazing view!

So cool to explore abandoned places but so sad that they are wasting away in such a gorgeous location! Meat pies looked amazing!

I really enjoyed your video Brian, also it was great seeing you make your home made pies with gravy looked yum.

Neat find!🤙🏼
Fun adventures, thanks for pointing out you weren't trespassing :), and welcome back, Kelly! Another fun video.
Yup, we're all wearing orange now! Colorado strikes me with it's variety of terrain. Noticed that fire tray, good to hear you like so far.👍😎🇨🇦🔥 HI Kelly! Nice to see you!
Wow would love to know the story behind that!! Oh there's Kelly!! lol Hi Kelly :) What a gorgeous red sky oolala.. Safe travels you guys!
Shelly, I found a little info on it, but not much, I left a comment about it....
Brian pinned the history comment.
Awesome video Brian, cool exploration and nice to see Kelly's smiling face at the end.
I loved the stacked fireplace. I bet it was so peaceful there until midnight 😂! Well you did say Bigfoot not me LOL ‼️😲
Great adventure started with breakfast went on a walk came upon a mystery house watched the sunset treated with dinner and a peek of your traveling companion .
Great video, really cool abandoned house in a great location.
Looks like that might be a lone Bigtooth maple in the bottom of the canyon...cool!
More beautiful skies! I wouldmlove to explore that place! And your pies lookrd bomb!
Having grown up in flat lands of Eastern VA, I always find the vistas available in more variegated terrain captivating. I need to get out there and see some of that in person. Thanks for sharing!
Love the empanadas ! ENJOY SALUD GODBLESS.
No fate channel checking in and hungry after watching you cook
Awesome episode. Those meat pies did look goooood! I always try to wonder how hard it must have been to live out there especially in that old cabin, great find.

Thanks Bud.
Hi, thank you for showing the abandoned cabin and house! It always makes me wonder what happened. Safe travels!

Hey Brian..was wondering about your portable fire pit..looks pretty cool 👍 Great place to explore..nice to see Kelly caught up to you ! Take care and enjoy 😁
I really enjoy your video's. I love the box truck home. 👏🖐👀👍
What a gorgeous find !!! Thanks for sharing.
Great video Brian! What a beautiful location. Broke into a big smile at your special guest at the end! 💗😊 Hoping to catch up with you in Jan. We're camp hosting at Padre Island right now. Happy trails!
Thanks for the video, Brian! What a beautiful, interesting spot. Oh, hey Kelly! Happy trails, y'all ! ☺
Hey Brian, you should totally get an air fryer, total game changer, you'd love it.
Hi Kelly! Lol…what a wonderful surprise!
Thanks for another fine video, Brian. :D I think the pop up firepit is an excellent idea. You'll be able to have fires in many places when ground fires are prohibited. Years ago I used to carry the lid from an old metal garbage can for the same purpose. I always loved having a fire in the evening. I'm happy to see Kelly back too!
Enjoyed the exploring of the surrounding land and buildings. Amazing landscape. Thanks for making these excellent vids!

Hey Brian what a great camp and bonus Kelly what a great video your dinner was great
Great find, I noticed the basement door was ajar ... just say'in. I just made Spaghetti Bolognese with onions, mushies, fresh baby tomatoes and Italian tomato sauce ... yum.
You are still the best camper chef
Great video Brian, hello Kelly, and away we go, 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👍🏻 🚐
Cool area to be camped with the canyon right out your back door. The one lonely tree down in the canyon still holding on to its leaves in fall colors really stood out. Hi Kelly ☮
My favorite travel chan👍Thank you❤🙏
😂 I was wondering where were Kelly, GREAT VIDEO 👍🏾
That scenery is amazing and love the relaxed style of your videos. So good to watch. Good cooking too!
Noah's flood dug a canyon! And more!
I remember when I lived in Silverthorne, Colorado, I would hike the mountains, and would come across old camps and abandoned mining towns. It was great.
Love the cooking! More Hawkins!
You are quite a creative chef. Love your videos
Great video. You have a great simple setup in your vehicle. Thanks Don
Such a sweet ending. But let's back up. And to think when you dropped in on this place you were just wanting to find a spot to camp. You seemed to have no idea what was there and now look. All that amazing stuff is there.
