    The can with the rocks in it....... I'm a Vietnam Veteran, and one of the ways we would heat up C Rations was to put sand (or gravel) in a small can, such as that one, put in some JP4, which was basically refined kerosene, and cook over it..... the can with rocks is a make shift stove.....

    That Pontiac Bonneville reminds me of a time when we anticipated with excitement the new styles that appeared every year in September from the automobile industry. This was the era when cars didn't look like inverted bath tubs on roller skates. Thanks for the memory.

      '59 Bonneville was a dazzling feast for the eyes....used to spend hours sitting behind front wheel of uncle's black 4 door and play with power windows which worked with ignition off. When opened doors at night with lights....looked like a Hollywood set...chrome everywhere

    We are thankful for you Sarah Jane. For me, your best videos are when you go to these cool random places ( w/ cabins or abandoned houses ) in the desert ,and mountains. I was raised in S.California ( Paramount, Downey area 1966-1985 ) and i really miss hiking and camping in that beautiful country. My best friends had a cabin in the Mojave desert ,and we spent alot of time there hiking, mountain biking, goofin' off , and gettin' really stoned , it was awesome. Your trips through that land brings wonderful memories back. That was long trek to that cabin, but i would've done it too , Heck' , the Uncle Sam's laxative cereal alone made it all worth it , and i really enjoy when you find and read old newspapers , it's hilarious . Thanx again , you rock chick ! Bob.G.

  • @alexb.1320
    @alexb.1320 4 роки тому +3

    Cool. Did a bit of google digging, and the NPS has a nice writeup of the history of the area, apparently the talc mine was still active on and off into the mid sixties. The buildings in the area date at the earliest to the 40's due to the miners just razing the older buildings from previous miners, and the NPS considers the remaining structures to be of no historical signifcance due the (lack of) age.
    On another note, since you mentioned boxcar, came across an interesting NPS paper on the boxcar project, and how terribly it was managed due to different departments having their finger in the pot.
    Short version for those still reading; the box car preservation project was unsupervised, and run by a department with no concern for historical preservation, upon getting looked into the cabin program was stopped due to randomn individuals doing whatever they wanted to "preserve" the cabins with no regard to retaining the original looks and materials and the program was stopped in order to preserve the historical aspects of remaining cabins.

    That looks like a cooper water dipper that was copper soldered. It is the type found tied to water barrels of wagons. They were common up into the 1950's Then the trend went to cone shaped paper cups and igloos. The soldered style dippers go back to the 1800's. latter they went to mass production rivets mostly. The tell is the angled sides, That is really a super cool find !

    Since you brought up flashlights, Look into Olights, all their flash lights are rechargeable via a USB connection, so you should be able to charge them up from you car, hotel room, computer or a small solar panel. And they throw a lot of light depending on the model.

    Actually there's a rough rd (Buckwheat Wash Rd) that you can take from Ibex Spring area. It will get fairly close to that cabin. So those car tire tracks you observed where most likely legal. Its a rough and hard to follow Rd, but its open as far as Death Valley park is concerned

    The Pontiac does not seem to have a B pillar so it would be a 1959 Bonneville and it is a 2 door since the "thingy" window handle is there and not part of the back door. Catalina and Star Chief have B pillars and I think the 4 chrome pieces on the side were Bonneville also. Tell me if I am wrong I can only remember so many things on old cars from before I was born. My 1964 Star Chief is what sold me on Pontiac for the rest of my life until congress and the worst president destroyed that.
