- Doug Berry of the Eastern Sierra Region of California and Nevada visits the 12 kiloton nuclear detonation site, Project Shoal. Located in a scenic remote location of Churchill County, Nevada. Kellie Zuniga, the curator of the nearby Mineral County Museum of Hawthorne, Nevada comes along for the adventure. Scenic road trip shots of Nye County, Mineral County, and Churchill County, Nevada. Great Basin.
WOW, from the radioactive items, to the active mine, to the roadside eatery, to the cows and calfs, to the nuclear test site, you both took us on quite a roadtrip. Thank you, as always, for the interesting, background facts, and amazing, tidbits of info. It's all quite fascinating... I can totally see why they chose that location for the nuclear incident. I bet many people aren't aware the monument is even there. I was thinking about what Kellie pondered regarding the cows... All that you said about Chernobyl is true. Imagine there are still people living in that contaminated area! YIKES...
Once again, you have brought us on a great journey, Doug. *Your videos are always topnotch.
🏡🙏🏻☀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Rhonda, we saw Wiley Coyote but still no glimpse of Road Runner. "That coyote is really a crazy clown....Road Runner, if he catches you you're thru". We found a weird square wooden box on route NV 361 that was lying in the middle of the road that said "Acme" on it, but we decided to pass it by. Perfect weather this week, so warm I feel like I am just glowing from the inside out. 👋🌄🌝🙏🌅🏖️🌡️🐂🇺🇸
I like the personal touch. The part about the project is very interesting.
I liked his travel companion the best.
Great personal touches in your video Doug. Must thank you for that as a presenter. Always thought there was a certain
glow about you as well. LOL The Sierra Magnesite Mine is the longest continously operating mine in Nevada but not the oldest. They mine naturally occuring magnetite ( for magnesium), dolomite ( for magnesium), and some scheelite tactite
( for tungsten) . Middlegate Station evens admits to being the real middle of nowhere and all surrounded by mountains.
I was mesmierized by your trip and finding the Project Shoal monument which was a 1200 'underground detenation. One reason they tested it there to minimize any groundwater contamination to about 1000 meters ( 1100 yards) around the
area around you and has been tested thoroughly. You may not use any water within the boundary specified by the Federal Gov-mint. Outside the above ground boundary it should be safe but bring your own water with you! Great video guys!
Steven you know your stuff! Right on with the Scheelite...and the dolomitic limestone does contain magnesium...thus, with my agricultural background one may use dolomite to raise the soil PH while also adding magnesium. You are spot on and I salute you Steven! Thank you for the encouragement and support.
Thank Doug and Kellie for a year of fun adventure cool little roadside bar and grill. dont get nuked out there.a few more weeks of work then i will try to get some photos together to send.well off to work at c.s.i.santa clarita/nevada.thanks it was fun
Thank you Casey, we appreciate your loyal support at the "Doug and Kellie Show"! That sounds interesting what you are working at! I guess that makes you a Cal-Neva border resident too.
@@CalNeva that's right
Hiya Brother Doug and Kellie!
You two are positively glowing! Great trip, sure didn't know about that test site...I'm really surprised it is accessible to the public 😳
Loved seeing the coyote too.
I read Rhonda's comment, and your reply cracked me up 😂! It was definitely a fun trip Brother! 💥 🍄☁️

Hi my Brother! I enjoyed filming and editing it. Got that wiring fixed at the little house so I was able to light up the dishes and glassware with that special glow. I miss that cartoon, one of my favorites. 🇺🇸🐂🧨
@@CalNeva My favorite cartoon also. All the Warner Brothers cartoons were the best! Glad you got the wiring job finished Brother! We wouldn't want an "orange glow" 🔥coming from your house! 🇺🇸
@@Brother_D_therail Ha! The electrician said that could have been a possibility.
I remember reading about that uranium,green glass. Fiesta ware, from the 1930s, is supposed to have radiation still on it. The colors red and and orange have a higher level of radiation on the Fiesta dinner ware. Very charming family photos 💕 I watched some videos,on UA-cam,of tourists going into the Chernobyl nuclear power plant as recent as 2019. The levels of radiation has gone down in that area of Ukraine, supposedly.
Hi Marie! That Chernobyl area is certainly interesting. I found that some of the water along the coast in Florida is as bright in color as the uranium glass; at least to me. There are minerals in the Nevada desert that glow when you shine a black light on them at night. Nice to hear from you, have a great spring at the beach! 🌄🏊👋
@@CalNeva Thank you for the reply. That blue green color in South Florida waters is due to the high humidity and sunlight. It is a form of algae( Cyanobacteria). Happens when the weather is very hot. I have been living in South Florida,minus 14 years, pretty much all my life. I have not been to the beach since 1989. We are having a warm April so far, 84F today. 💕
@@mariemorgan7759 Interesting! My goodness, time to at least check out the beach again! I like the Panhandle white sand beaches, Miami South Beach, and St. Petersburg by the old fort.
Doug you and kellie should check out Project Faultless over by Tonopah. It's very interesting!
Will do, thank you Danny.
The cattlemen say any meat from this range is completely safe. :) You might like the book "The Day We Bombed Utah." As the people of Utah were famously patriotic it was believed they would not protest the tests as wind patterns blew fallout from the cold war atmospheric tests over Utah. In 2002 I heard the radio announcement while driving near Cedar City that the occurring dust storm had raised radioactive levels to where persons were advised to stay indoors and automobile drivers to keep their windows rolled up.
Wow Joseph! That's interesting how it was calculated the citizens in Utah would weather it....can you imagine the same scenario in coastal California? Nowadays we get plenty of radiation from the RF Energy from our cellphones and towers. Good thoughts you shared.
And Tony "The Supreme Liar" Fauci pushed mask-up, shut down and lock down.
Holy Detonation Batman, exposing Robin to radiation ? Hope you don't glow in the dark.
We should make it Steven, you can see us coming when up by the lakes! See you this summer!
Sorry, what was that site called, I need to GOOGLE that. I assume the detention was underground, but how deep. thank you stay safe ALL. And most of all you are right about a good partner, good job!
Sure Dave, it was called "Project Shoal", the detonation was underground 1,211'. Thank you for watching!
Interesting history,I've been learning about post war nuclear projects lately.Good information!
I always thought there was
a gypsum plant in Gabbs
area somewhere?
The mine associated with and close to Gabbs has nothing to do with Gypsum. Look it up.
Perhaps you are confusing the Gypsum mine of Empire, Nevada (near Gerlock, NV).
Probably no bigfoot there due to nuclear anhilation.
Could be...🫠🤔
Yeah that nuclear testing killed a hell of a lot of my friends relatives and other people that I love and the government pays them and insult to keep their mouth shut
Reminds me of the military officers who were instructed to observe an atomic bomb blast very close to a Pacific atol that later all passed away from cancer....at least the land seems to be recovering on its own, if ever slowly.
