    Those creepy bird skeletons and the cellar had the makings for the start of a horror movie. Really cool exploration. The mine looked amazing too.

      It really did! Kept thinking the same thing - "this is how horror movies start." 😂

    Very well done production.
    I appreciate your care in preserving what you find, and respect for historical structures.
    The low humidity of the desert tends to preserve many artifacts. These structures are in remarkably decent condition considering their age. Nice to see that vandals haven’t punched holes in everything, like has happened in other places.

      Thank you! Agree. Too many times we see places with bullet holes and garbage all over the place.

    That Mojave landscape is so hauntingly beautiful. Loved the tours of the buildings, and seeing the history. Thanks for all your work!

      Our pleasure! Was certainly a "haunting" place in terms of lack of people and the weird items in the first house. 😅

    Oh man! This is the kinda stuff I love exploring. Could easily spend hours here.

      Absolutely our kind of stuff too. It's hard not to get sucked in and want to explore every little corner. 😄

    Another great video by you guys. Pretty sure I’m too chicken to go in some of those buildings alone. Good thing we have Glenn for that. Thanks for putting these out weekly for us all to enjoy.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому +1

      Our pleasure! 😊 I'll be honest... I'm glad he goes in too as I too am not sure I'd have the heart to go in alone either. 😅

    So much to explore here! The drone footage was such a nice addition to this video. Really cool being able to fly over the mine shaft! And those headless dolls!!! 😳

    What a thick, healthy Joshua Tree forest in that area. Please be careful , I always worry about you stepping on an old rusty nail. Maybe get some hard sole hiking boots for poking around those ruins? Always wear long pants cause of the rattlers. Heh I liked the headlamp, it's an important tool for what you do. Love it when you Glen get all enthused and excited with your discoveries.
    Thanks guys for taking us along!

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому

      The headlamp really helps while filming to keep hands free (well, as free as can be with a camera 😅). Happy to have you join along on our adventures! 😊

    Another great video. I love it and I love it just the way you do. I enjoys these for many reason. The visual. The places I can’t go and I love your dialog. Calms me. Lol keep it up. Also loved the montezuma video inspired me to head up there again especially to see the wells which I’ve always missed. Thank you both

    • @CactusAtlas

      Thank you very much! That means a lot to us. And awesome that you're going to see Montezuma Well! We think you'll love it. 😊

    Really cool channel, thank you ! Loved the Joshua Tree / Gram Parsons video . Don’t know if you’ve been to Portal Az. but that is an incredible adventure . Keep up the good work !

      Awesome, thank you! Have not been to Portal yet, no. Maybe in the future though! 👍

    I really enjoy your videos. You and Amy do such a professional job of researching and editing these I'm sure o
    It's very time consuming. But great for us, your fans. Thank you.

    • @CactusAtlas

      Thank you so much! That really means a lot to hear. We love researching things and finding new places to share, so it really is our pleasure. 😊

    Great video! the item you thought was a drill bit was a mount for a glass insulator for electricity.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому

      Thank you! And thank you for the information about that item! We visit so many mines we probably just automatically start thinking about those items first. 😅

    Great one Glenn, surprised at that ore extracted $134,000? Not much even in today’s dollars

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому

      Agreed, that does seem off, even when converting the dollars. We will have to look into that and maybe start a new errata section in the description! Maybe we missed a comma…. 😉

    The camp's name is Dwason, established in 1906. We were just there Saturday. I know a bit of the history of that mine. The house was built in the 1950s and the story of the family that lived there is horrific. The machinery there goes back as recently as 1965.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому

      Interesting! Wasn't sure about the house - it didn't seem too terribly old but just couldn't place the age of it. Such a cool area though! Thanks for the info. 👍

      What is the story with the family?

      Honestly. What sort of person would come in and imply something and then not follow it up.

    The thin board paneling on the walls are called shiplap.

    You might consider asking wonderhussy if she'll do a joint adventure with you... She has done that with some other channels and it helped them quite a bit.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому +1

      Honestly would love to, and her’s is one of our favorite channels. We seem to be kindred spirits in a way for sure. If I ever happened to cross her path on an adventure, who knows…. But as it stands, I am always fearful that I would come across as a pest and I’m sure being as big of a channel she is, she probably gets bombarded with lots of collaboration requests from small fries like me. Call me shy I guess… 🤷‍♂️. But no doubt it would be a blast!!!

    Old mines can be dangerous. The atmosphere can be toxic, and oxygen deficient. With miniature drones, some can be explored from above, but not too far in.

  • @davidstakston1950

    Do you know what tree the lumber came from to build these buildings? And from where the lumber came from?

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Рік тому

      Sadly, no. No ideas on the lumber. Would be interesting to know though! 😄

    There used to be a sign on the door to not enter the structure because of Hanta Virus

    • @CactusAtlas

      Not surprising given what was seen inside. 🙁

    Creepy!!! I presume you got out okay. Lots of holes and rotted boards. I was really worried about what you were going to find at the top of those stairs. 👻

    • @CactusAtlas

      Haha! Glenn most definitely survived. The drone might not have due to a wee malfunction but we're up and running again. 😊

    Nice video, but can't stop talking, talking, talking..... take a pause let the people watch and enjoy the video (visuals). You put the camera over a screw and say "watch is a screw" ..... Yes, We see that is a screw, don't need you tells us is a screw...

    • @CactusAtlas

      Just our style - how Glenn films and how I edit the clips depending on the mood. 🤷‍♀️

      There's a MUTE button. I like Glenn's style- it's interesting, entertaining and hilarious like his other adventure channel

    • @splithoof9567
      @splithoof9567 6 місяців тому

      I appreciate the narration. It is part of his style. For those who like silence, there is the volume control that they can turn down.
