- Part Two: • Exploring An Abandoned...
During this Overland trip, Burning Man was in full force as 100,000 people flocked to the Nevada Playa. That said: you won't find me there. I was 100 miles east in search of abandoned ghost towns and gold mines as relics of the Comstock Lode era in the Nevada desert.
This Overland expedition ended up being way more involved than I ever thought, but exploring along the "Loneliest Highway in America" on the old Pony Express route and Lincoln Highway was absolutely epic. It's one thing to read about history in some textbook, it's entirely different experience to re-live it. Together with my Jeep and "Nevada Ghost Towns & Mining Camps" by Stanley Paher, I setout to explore the American West.
Standby for Part Two!

Excellent video. Extremely interesting. Now this was great content.
Thank you I appreciate it!
Love it dude. I'm about to head out to do the NV BDR...looks so epic out there!
You're in for a great time
Bro this is still such a solid edit. Had to come back and watch again. So well done.
Thanks Caleb! Almost done with Part II 🤙
Dude I’m so pumped to hear that! Can’t wait.
Well been so busy I totally forgot to comment, this was a GREAT video! Love mining history and this looks like such a cool area to explore. The weather definitely made it more interesting!
Appreciate it Mike!
This was so awesome to watch! Dang - I want to see Wonder; and … now I want to go there 💯 great video, felt like combo Rhino Offroad / Coyote Works style. Loved the intro - pure 🔥
Thanks Greg! Still need him to assess the date on that Barbwire from our Coyote Flats trip haha. See you here soon!
Hahahahha! Ya, agree 💯
Great video. BTW, at the 23:30 mark, that "screen thing" appears to be what is left of an "old" type filter insert. I've dealt with late 1950's heavy equipment that have cartridge type filters where the screen goes inside the filter element itself. Usually the screen portion has a gasket on the top and bottom to prevent fluid bypass once bolted back into place. Real common with the older hydraulic, transmission and engine oil filter setups of the day.
That's great info! Appreciate that!
Subscribed! Looking forward to part 2!!
Appreciate it! In the edit right now
Great video
Thanks!

I'm working on it! Appreciate the support!
Great video, love the cinematic intro!
Keep up the great content. 👊🏔🏜
Hey thanks man I appreciate the support!
Whoa what a fun adventure, that Navy spot was a cool unexpected find too!
Great work, Kevin!
Thanks buddy!
I like it, you have some good camera shots too. It wasn’t the standard Overlanding vid full of hype and BS or the sleepy boring ones where I start to watch then wake up on the couch and there is a totally different vid playing 😂.
Haha I really appreciate the comment, especially since I've done the exact same thing on the couch! Working on part two now 🤘
Really impressive go-pro, drone, etc. shots all over the place! Must have been very time-consuming to set up all those shots, but very worth it to tell the story. Good job!
Thank you 🤙
Great channel. You upgraded to the 3.0? What happened to the converted ICamper 2.0?
