Thank you for posting this video! I lived in Vegas early 70's. These old towns, Rhyolite, Beatty, Goldfield, etc., enhanced my love for the state of Nevada!!!
I lived in Beatty with my family on 2nd street 64 years ago. My late brother, sister and myself went back in 2006 and the house was still there. We stayed at Armagosa Toad RV park on that trip through Nevada, Arizona, Utah and parts of California. A 3 week tour.
Did you ever see the phantom donkeys cross the highway in a line? My husband was a truck driver and saw them on Hwy 95, and so did other drivers in a convoy he was in that day. He couldn't stop in time as they appeared when he was right almost on them, so he drove through them and looked in his rearview and they were still there crossing, and when he asked the drivers behind him if they saw them, one said he did, and had seen them more than once before as well. Then when they got to a cafe to stop and eat the worker said "Did you see them? I could tell by the look on your face." So what do you know about this sort of thing? I can't find any information online about this. I would think people would be talking about it online.
Russ you bring the country to many eyes that can’t go and see it for themselves The wife and I thank you for what you do Keep up the great videos. Great clear and colorful shots you get
Cool video Russ, that plane you found is a Beechcraft C-45, that particular plane operated out of North Las Vegas Airport and was used for sightseeing trips to the Grand Canyon from 1965 to 1973 and then was sold to Skydive Las Vegas and used for a jump plane. In 1978 Angel's Ladies hired the plane and pilots for a promotional stunt on the property, something went wrong and the pilots had to make an emergency landing, the plane was totaled, but all six people onboard escaped with no injury.
Wow I was just surfing UA-cam and came across this video on Beatty, NV. Back in 2007 I was a medical student in Las Vegas doing my rotations that involved two rural clinics, one in Beatty and one in Amargosa. Can't say too much about the rotations but it was an interesting desert like location. Was only there for a month but got to see the wild flowers in death valley before the oven turned on.

January 1,1966…driving produce truck north. Heavy snow storm. Stopped and spent New Year’s Eve in Goldfield. Great party in the town hall. Local group of musicians with a fiddle player who was charter member of Nevada musicians union. Oh the memories…
Hubby attended 5th grade there around 1950. His class was taken to see an A-bomb explosion one morning. His grandparents were living at the old depot in Rhyolite at that time.
@@Regina0964 Hi! No actually I have never seen ghost adventures, but I have been to the clown motel and the cemetery next to it and it is quite a remarkable place. I think anyone who has the chance to visit, should do so or they will be missing out.
We had a wonderful night in the Sourdough Saloon back in the Before Times, perhaps the best night I've had in ANY bar EVER and I say that as a 30-year veteran of tours both rock'n'roll and corporate (often indistinguishable in their debauchery). I can't tell from current Maps if it's still extant but if it is I will wholeheartedly recommend that you visit and imbibe and be absolutely open to everything that happens next. The Sourdough Saloon is one of our national treasures.

The aircraft there is an old Navy Beechcraft, twin engine, 12 passenger bird. If you do a drone fly over the next time you go there, you will see the dirt airstrip they used. I am willing to bet this plane was used to ferry in client's for the old Bordello. The buildings can be seen that was no doubt used for "fun and frolic". Your videos are amazing. When I start my Boondocking adventure, your going to all these places is like having files we can tap into and see what's out there and can plan instead of blindly going out and see what happens. It prepares you and would make things less stressful so one can enjoy everything better. Keep doing what you're doing. I hope to meet you in Quartzsite next year. Be safe everybody.
Had you went another 2 hours north of Goldfield you would’ve ended up in Hawthorne Nevada home of the worlds largest munitions Depo. Lived and worked there for 10 years.
Thanks for showing love to Hawthorne. We lived in the Owen's Valley (Bishop mostly) nearly all of our lives and visited Hawthorne frequently as my wife had relatives who lived on the Walker River Indian Reservation. In fact one of her relatives worked at the Depot back in the 70's when it was operated by the Navy. El Cap was the hot spot in town back then. Loved the Friday night buffet. Wonder if the El Cap is still in business.
@@gregmctevia5087 I worked at the depot for 6 years. I was active in the Elks Lodge there as well. The El Cap is still there and open. Many fun nights!
@@stevemcbride2685 That's great news. Lots of people from the California side, especially Inyo and Mono counties, would drive to Hawthorne and Montgomery Pass, before it closed, for weekend gambling trips. It's only about a 3 hour drive from Bishop to Hawthorne so if you were in El Cap on a Friday or Saturday night back in the 70's or even the 80's there was a very good chance you'd meet someone you knew from Bishop or one of the other towns in the Owens Valley if that's where you lived. She may not be much to look at but we have very warm memories of the dusty old town.
@@stevemcbride2685 I can't wait for the posting from one of the viewers asking "what the hell is mule days?" You're in very select company. Few people not from western Nevada and eastern California are familiar with Mule Days. You're no doubt aware that Bishop is the mule capital of the world.

Hey Russ how are you sir hope all is well the grandkids says hello and ask RV their yet and the my youngest says too kool for school great video very enjoyable too watch thanks for sharing travel well lance and family
We Love RVerTV - Grand Videos - Grand Music - Grand Journey Thru U.S.A. Great Video / Great Views. Russ Too Cool 4 School - Major Wave for Russ. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans . Have A Great Day Eh.
The grafitied plane used to be on a post at the hiway marking entrance to a brothel..I guess it was 20 years ago..someone must have a photo..I wanted to take a picture if I stumbled on it again..I see that it is too late for that...among a lot of other things in my life.
I've not seen either Ryolite or Beatty since 1986. My parents, daughter and I went to the 49er Days in November 1984 and 1986. I lived in Death Valley National Monument in 1979 and 1981. I met my late husband Karl there. He was the Master Electrician there, and rewired part of the Furnace Creek Inn and the Cafeteria at the Furnace Creek Ranch.
The guy who owns the Stagecoach and Eddies Gas (picture of his cute little boy...he's probably 38 now) and Death Valley Candy Factory, his name is Ed Ringle. What a cranky character he is! From L.A. and thought he would rule the town, built the El Sueno sign and intended to build another casino....thought he would bend the codes of the city and do his pleasure. Beatty Council fixed his wagon!.....its been a parking lot for 20 years.
My grandparents lived in Beatty for a very long time. My grandfather worked at the Bullfrog mine. We spent an entire summer there once. I have video on a VHS tape somewhere. That place was the best town ive ever been too in my eyes.

I grew up in Beatty back in the Seventies. A lot of times people would drift into town and never leave/car broke down! It was very laid back but just enough crazy to make it interesting. Like the time the Hell Angles came to town and only two sheriff's. I remember when that plane crashed 1975?

I am familiar with Beatty Nevada. I usually drive through Beatty Nevada when I take a vacation trip to Death Valley National Park. When in Beatty I have lunch at the Denny's Restaurant at the Stage Coach Casino.
They had skydivers jump out of that plane. The one that landed on a mattress got FREE chicks. Eventually, that plane crashed................. I have an old decanter from there. With an airplane and girl on it. The place was Fran’s Ranch back then.
Thanks for straitening out the time line between Frans & Angels .I thought I was losing my mind. I went to Frans shortly after it closed & remembered the plane
I stayed at the Stagecoach 15 years ago with my son and his mom while heading to Oregon. Almost turned left at the stop sign coming in to town late at night and would’ve ended up in Death Valley and out of gas. Cool video bub 👍

I was there August 1969 for the Championship Burro Race, sort of an Iron Man endurance of it’s time, had two friends entered, one won it. I handed out water during the event which was in temperature of 120 degrees.
8:45 the elevation of Beatty, NV is 3,307' 8:18 the plane was crashed there. The owners of the brothel used it in 1978 as a publicity stunt gone bad. But, no one was hurt. They pulled the wreckage to the front gate to attack customers.
I Went To Death Valley. In 198 Something. Had A Paycheck To Cash. I Went To Beaty To Cash It. Bank Employees Beautiful And Very Friendly And Professional 😊❤
I hope to make it out that way this Fall. I'm vaccinated so feel better about traveling. By that time a ton of folks may be traveling so will have to see what it is like at the time. Love it out west(I'm in MS}.
What a riot! Angel Carts in the Army are entirely different. The Swede drafted with my dad tell me lots of times. My father drove, the big Swede navigated.
Ohh the coronalieruse, still donating plasma in force 🤔 looks like the casino is open but you can't go to the museum hmmm. I really enjoyed this trip, I love old town life thanks for sharing it 👍🏻 I'd stop in on the churches, to see if'n the Holy scripture is taught in there 😔 well happy/safe travels.🙏 Lord look to the truth and establish it.
Been to Tonopah clown motel loved it going to go back soon hopefully and this looks interesting ,may be my next trip, love to explore ghost towns and history , Death valley is like hell hot,hot hot, depending on the time of year , that area reminds me of the hills have eyes or chain. Saw massacre, ooh ooh yeah love it
I've been in Beatty Nevada. I've been in the old Exchange Club and I have pictures of some of the buildings. I have one of the old Beatty Hotel, and I wanted to see if it were still there. Any town just outside of Death Valley, thinks they're the gateway town. Who am I to say otherwise?
Source of water for Ryolite. They would bring wagons of it. Burros wander the streets. Some bent my gas meter trying to get veggies. Profile pic is namesake of town.
dodged a bullet here a decade or so ago i had the" opportunity " to move to beatty and get free space etc at one of these parks in return for i think 20 hrs a week work ,and i asked how would i eat and buy things etc? "oh we'll set you up with jobs for people around town" LOL !

yuuup perhaps that pilot wanted to pay a visit to the girls but he took the turn kind too fast and he has crashed there. I hope he s somewhere there happy with the girls now!

Russ you bring the country to many eyes that can’t go and see it for themselves The wife and I thank you for what you do Keep up the great videos. Great clear and colorful shots you get
😊Sometimes Health. Gas Too Expensive. Wear And Tear Of Car. I Think Exactly As You. Mr. ROBERT😊
Cool video Russ, that plane you found is a Beechcraft C-45, that particular plane operated out of North Las Vegas Airport and was used for sightseeing trips to the Grand Canyon from 1965 to 1973 and then was sold to Skydive Las Vegas and used for a jump plane.

Thanks for the info! I live in Goldfield and have wondered as I’ve driven by.
You are correct.
Did any of the ladies get"cut "in the back seat?😂😂😂💕💕💕
it was owned by Fran York.. Called Fran Star Ranch...Spent two years there...
Wow I was just surfing UA-cam and came across this video on Beatty, NV. Back in 2007 I was a medical student in Las Vegas doing my rotations that involved two rural clinics, one in Beatty and one in Amargosa. Can't say too much about the rotations but it was an interesting desert like location. Was only there for a month but got to see the wild flowers in death valley before the oven turned on.
There is hardly any people in Amargosa to warrant a clinic.
@@knife-wieldingspidergod5059 Yea the clinic went out of business a few years ago. It wasn't the busiest as I didn't see or learn a lot there.
Bravo.
Hang out at the brothel and someone will need a clinic
@@chuckstith838 The clinic wasn't really an idea primary care setting as we ordered a lot of STD checks on the ladies per state requirement.
Thank you for your videos. I hope you know how valuable they are to many of us!
Your living a life many dream about....good for you! Timmy C
Here I am camped 20 miles outside of Beatty and I've been looking for a car/RV wash thanks Russ!
I love driving 95; the old towns are great, the back roads off of it have many small old mining towns to visit and photo.
Bravo.

it means life is good.
Ohh Yes!
January 1,1966…driving produce truck north. Heavy snow storm. Stopped and spent New Year’s Eve in Goldfield. Great party in the town hall. Local group of musicians with a fiddle player who was charter member of Nevada musicians union. Oh the memories…
Beatty had 3 casinos, Stagecoach is the best and nice place to stay. Hot springs was a good place for arthritis a few miles out.
Thanks for the video Russ!👍

We usually stop in Beatty when we visit Ridgecrest every year. The Happy Burro is always one of our stops
GOOD STUFF!!! Be sure and check out the infamous "Clown Motel" and old cemetery in Tonapah, right around the corner from Goldfield.
You must watch Ghost Adventures...

Did you ever see the phantom donkeys cross the highway in a line? My husband was a truck driver and saw them on Hwy 95, and so did other drivers in a convoy he was in that day. He couldn't stop in time as they appeared when he was right almost on them, so he drove through them and looked in his rearview and they were still there crossing, and when he asked the drivers behind him if they saw them, one said he did, and had seen them more than once before as well. Then when they got to a cafe to stop and eat the worker said "Did you see them? I could tell by the look on your face." So what do you know about this sort of thing? I can't find any information online about this. I would think people would be talking about it online.
I like to see things that others don't get to
I am familiar with Beatty Nevada. I usually drive through Beatty Nevada when I take a vacation trip to Death Valley National Park. When in Beatty I have lunch at the Denny's Restaurant at the Stage Coach Casino.
We'll keep a"red lite"on for ya.CLASSIC.
Hellooo Russ! Thanks!
Been to beatty once I plan to go back after my move to Pahrump itsa cool little town.
Fun to see you’re at a place I’ve been.
They had skydivers jump out of that plane. The one that landed on a mattress got FREE chicks. Eventually, that plane crashed.................
I have an old decanter from there. With an airplane and girl on it. The place was Fran’s Ranch back then.
Bravo.
to do it at Mile high. They wanted to join the mile high club....
I have friends who jumped from that plane landing on the mattress for free chicks...
Thanks for straitening out the time line between Frans & Angels .I thought I was losing my mind. I went to Frans shortly after it closed & remembered the plane
We’ll leave the red light on for ya😂😂
I stayed at the Stagecoach 15 years ago with my son and his mom while heading to Oregon. Almost turned left at the stop sign coming in to town late at night and would’ve ended up in Death Valley and out of gas. Cool video bub 👍
i love Beatty; this road trip view did not do it justice but a nice try that he provided some info....i saw Beatty quite differently.
Outstanding videos
Love your intro!
I used to live in beatty, it's a small town but it's the most amazing place and holds both my worst and my best memories.💔
What was it like to live there

Nice Taco truck at edge of town. The American Legion has good food. The Atomic Inn is a nice place to stay.
Do they serve donkey burritos?
@@chuckstith838 Yeah they tasty Hee Haw!
I run that post office! Love my Beatty
i drove by the brothel in the mid 80's. The plane was closer to the road i think and had a sign saying "Free Airport".
Very beautiful state
OK - I’ll admit I went to that brothel when it was still open in 2012. Besides the chicks, there’s a hot spring pool there.
Nice Drive
"They'll leave the red light on for 'ya"...lol
Remember the commercial from several years ago "Motel 7, we'll leave the seat up for you"? LOL
Russ, you stopping at "Angel Ladies" - I'm shocked!
Indeed! Shocked.
He does appear to be single people. A man can get lonely on the highway.
Angel Ladies has been closed for years now.
I was there August 1969 for the Championship Burro Race, sort of an Iron Man endurance of it’s time, had two friends entered, one won it. I handed out water during the event which was in temperature of 120 degrees.
A great video, i see on 8:27 min a Volkswagon Golf 6 and a Fiat 500 x i didn't expected to see this European cars in that part of The USA.
8:45 the elevation of Beatty, NV is 3,307'
8:18 the plane was crashed there. The owners of the brothel used it in 1978 as a publicity stunt gone bad. But, no one was hurt. They pulled the wreckage to the front gate to attack customers.
I Went To Death Valley. In 198 Something. Had A Paycheck To Cash. I Went To Beaty To Cash It. Bank Employees Beautiful And Very Friendly And Professional 😊❤
I hope to make it out that way this Fall. I'm vaccinated so feel better about traveling. By that time a ton of folks may be traveling so will have to see what it is like at the time. Love it out west(I'm in MS}.
great sculptor .
Love it there. Regards from Poland?
I been to rhyolite beatty Goldfield and Tonopah they really great places to explore i live in lasvegas
What a riot! Angel Carts in the Army are entirely different. The Swede drafted with my dad tell me lots of times. My father drove, the big Swede navigated.
Brothel closed so your just going to have to Beat it.
😂
Ohh the coronalieruse, still donating plasma in force 🤔 looks like the casino is open but you can't go to the museum hmmm. I really enjoyed this trip, I love old town life thanks for sharing it 👍🏻 I'd stop in on the churches, to see if'n the Holy scripture is taught in there 😔 well happy/safe travels.🙏 Lord look to the truth and establish it.
Been to Tonopah clown motel loved it going to go back soon hopefully and this looks interesting ,may be my next trip, love to explore ghost towns and history , Death valley is like hell hot,hot hot, depending on the time of year , that area reminds me of the hills have eyes or chain. Saw massacre, ooh ooh yeah love it
Are you the narrator for the calico train ride at knotts berry Farm
I've been in Beatty Nevada. I've been in the old Exchange Club and I have pictures of some of the buildings. I have one of the old Beatty Hotel, and I wanted to see if it were still there. Any town just outside of Death Valley, thinks they're the gateway town. Who am I to say otherwise?
Remember my visit to vickie star ranch brothel that was a good one got a free calendar too around summer 1966
You sound kinda like Bruce Dern, pretty cool!
I know you were disappointed that the brothel was closed I could hear it in your voice
ha
Nevada- casinos and brothels
We stopped and were greeted by a handful of burrows.
Lots of fans here in Pahrump!
Art Bell
If you make it to Hawthorne... you might want to leave the drone in the van. The Ammo Depot probably won't appreciate you flying it around!!!
"can't blame 'em"
yeah, you can.
not necessary. Just "blackboot orders" for control Russ.
Yeah, i'll say it.
Happy Burro is next to the Sourdough on main street
I sure like your videos, you save me a lot of money in gas!
Source of water for Ryolite. They would bring wagons of it. Burros wander the streets. Some bent my gas meter trying to get veggies. Profile pic is namesake of town.
dodged a bullet here a decade or so ago i had the" opportunity " to move to beatty and get free space etc at one of these parks in return for i think 20 hrs a week work ,and i asked how would i eat and buy things etc? "oh we'll set you up with jobs for people around town" LOL !
We had a wedding at the Casino. Fun fun fun
Beatty, NV elevation is 3,300 ft.
It’s worth a trip to Nevada just to visit a good brothel
I lived in beatty early 90's and the Brothel was fran's star ranch then. Fran sold it and it became angel's.

yuuup perhaps that pilot wanted to pay a visit to the girls but he took the turn kind too fast and he has crashed there. I hope he s somewhere there happy with the girls now!
Frans Star Ranch used to be. Skydiving there that's why the old plane .
Land on a mattress, get free chicks..........
