YOU FOUND Lucy & Desi ‘s TRAILER from that movie they made way back when…. 😆. “ The Long ,LONG Trailer” was a classic with Lucy picking up and secretly hiding rocks she found inside the trailer along the way. I’ll bet if you & Laura had opened some cabinets in there maybe you guys would have found some 😏. It DOES amaze me constantly how the HELL people do get some of the trailers I personally have stumbled onto in God -forsaken places out in the deserted areas I explore here in Southern & Central California mountains & deserts. Great views from wherever you shot this one today guys . Thanks as always .
Keep hiking to mines like this one you 2. Thanks for putting in the effort to clamber down and back up that mountain face. Be safe folks. Thanks for sharing your explore.
Exceptionally nice one. I have lived in a very similar trailer. What a beautiful view. Loved the compressor. Happy to see you two having such a good time.
Thanks for sharing your adventures . I really enjoy them . If those places could talk , what a story they could tell . Have a great day and stay safe . Terry
Hi Laura & Gly. Agree with other comments, really enjoyed this mine, quite special on the hillside and tracks etc. I also agree that the amount of infrastructure, tracks, even the size of the compressor, suggest a larger hole in the ground. I am guessing you may have found more for another episode, hope so. Thanks again the hiking will do you good 😂
Laura, you compliment Gly’s monologue very very well. Gly understand the rocks, minerals explanation, the why things are done the way they are, that is technical information…..you are good at the spotting pop up details that enhance the story line….i love how you added that piece of info about the age of the bottles you spotted on the way up….to flesh out Gly’s bottle observation…I wonder if time and unforeseen circumstances befell this Mom and Pops mine….
Kind of begs the question of where all the track laying outside of the mine came from. Super scenic mine, and what a beautiful day to have explored it. Thanks for another adventure 😊
Nice to see you again. Since COVID many people stopped filming. Then I ( I think a lot people) wonder if you and others I (we ) followed and got to know we're also ok. Well Here We ARE. Your ok and filming your adventures again. I'll follow with anthouseism. Nice to see you both again and I look forward to your videos. Mostly I'm glad your ok after COVID and I hope your family is all wee. Gotta admit it Scared the beep out of me. See ya soon.
That trailer is so far not too far gone to be restored but almost. People sometimes just tear out the interiors and redo the entirety of it anyway. Not vandalized at all from the looks of it, still had most the windows.
I bet that was a pretty cool trailer back in the day. I saw a big empty bottle of Fireball on the counter in the kitchen. Haha, you said Chipmunk Mode, I was the one that that suggestion when your breathing is sped up.
Gly,, I’d still donate to you and Laura even if you’d lived in a remote cabin or cardboard box 😊Not even for a second did I believe you sold old Bob 🤣🤣. Someone could remodel that place if they wanted to. It’s still in good condition. Thanks for sharing a museum of history. It’s a story that must be told. Glad yous r having fun in the sun adventures. Who says you have to go to Cancun for adventure 😊
Seeing those hoses left in the mine, these folks went away for the season and thought they were coming back. Car accident? Cancer? Sudden H/A? Didn't come back.
Look at all that flat land below the escarpment of the rock ridge! What a view! The mine proper, looks like "keeping it simple as possible" but offereing enough space to excavate the mineral seam. Hey! back to your getting your excersise again. Most of us (in the East) put on lbs. over the cold mons. You two will be "burning" some off. Thanks for filming this "nice find".
Interesting mine explore. You would think that some of the miners themselves or their relatives would be watching mine explore videos and leave comments.
Someone probably bought a un-patented mining claim was working it which included this old lode mine. You can see they didn't have any heavy equipment or were able to get the compressor running. It looks like the compressor hasn't operated in decades.
I always wonder how much gold they pulled out of those mom-and-pop mines. With gold closing in on $3000 an ounce it might be worth reworking those mines
I don't think it would have ever occurred to the miners that they were creating art. And Gly and Laura are documenting the art many years later. It's much more than a mine. The real gold is in the visual beauty.
20:00 Called a JACK ALL, with attachments can be used like a winch to pull also. With a 2x4 or 4-inch timber hitched to the upright of the jack, to support overhead timbers when retimbering an adit.
Boy, i need some help. I thought you two were serious about mining, had me disappointed. Wow. Lead on MacDuff. Give us the million dollar tour adventure. Splendid, Bravo, out doing all the previous videos, i think.
If you watch again, Gly pulled out the contents which were teabags, matches and a coffee cup, if you watch closely, you will see that the coffee pot never stops moving for the rest of the time they were inside...spooky!
Either that was very rich and petered out quick or there is more to this. That is a lot of time and expense for a small mom and pop mine. Things are just not adding up.
All the preparations, the rails outside, the big ore bin, the big compressor, surely they were hoping to go deeper and the works were suddenly stopped. Unless the top of the descent has been backfilled and practically plugged by the later workers. Maybe the size of wasterock pile can tell if indeed that was all the work done and nothing more.
Don't know where you are at, but it looks like the backside of turtle mountain looking towards skeedaddle mountain in NE CA. Same valley. That trailer was one of many accross the area, valley being about 100 miles long and about 10 miles wide. The people that lived in them heated with wood, kerosene lanterns, and maybe agenerator for limited us. And that was up to the early 1990's.
20 year old Gly would have done that. LOL living in an old bus on black coffee and cigarettes. I was looking at those matresses and thought of the old capok or kapok (i dont know how its spelt) matresses on a wire wove base. . They do things to your back that a chiropractor cant fix. They are hard and lumpy and sag in the middle. Sleeping on wet 4 inch rock would be more comfortable. If you find gold there that caould be your home. The homes of the rich and famous. Gly i thought chipmonks moved faster than that. awesome video. being there for the view was probably good enough.
This was an amazing little find. But so much effort and work and so little mine... you have to think the "mom and pop" miners probably bet their entire life savings on this and then lost every penny when the values just weren't there. There's no way that little mine paid for all the time, effort, and equipment that got hauled up on that mountain.
On the can topic, Germany and Belgium have done something very simple: Introduce a deposit for each can. If losing a can costs 30 cents EUR, it could make people rethink their option, though I think the deposit should be 1 EUR per can.
What is the increase to $1 supposed to accomplish? Most of the US bottle deposit systems have around a 70-80% return rate anyway with $0.05 and $0.10 deposits, and Michigan has seen return rates well into the 90% range. Even if they are already at $0.25 or so in Germany, I really don't see much improvement coming from such a steep increase in the initial cost of acquisition. One article that I found from 2021 on a site called DW said that Germany has a return rate in the high 90% range and that it would be nearly impossible to increase that further, and they're at least $0.75 below your suggestion. (1 Euro came up as $1.09 USD when I looked it up, so I treated them as close enough to equal and used what I'm used to and have a key for on my keyboard.) Also, as someone who has traveled a lot by car, I find bottle deposits to be annoying. When passing through somewhere, it isn't unreasonable to be in the next state over before getting out of the car again. Then the deposit is nothing more than an additional tax. Not to mention the hassle of trying to figure out what to do with bottles as a visitor even if they are emptied while still in the deposit state... From a quick search, Germany started enforcing some form of bottle deposit system in either 2002 or 2003 and Belgium seems to be wanting to start in 2025. 10 US states had bottle deposits by 2002, 9 of them date back to the 1970's-80's starting with Oregon in 1971, and British Columbia (Canada) became the first place in the world with them in 1970. There are plenty of more local examples than European countries that are 30-55 years behind the curve... In fact, Nevada shares a border with California and California's started in 1986.
30:57 Behind your shoulder (even with your head from camera perspective) there is something running up the rock. A pipe or a cable. Where would that be going?
Hi Laura, I love that your sense of humour is beginning to shine as you settle right into the channel now. You are such a natural, I love it. xxx
Definitely

The filming on this one was extra good, speed, music, scenery were extra nice.
this is an extra cool comment you have here :)
Pretty cool small mine. Thanks to Gly and Laura for another adventure. What spectacular scenery - nothing like Nevada.
Laura is definitely blossoming! She's less shy. I love you twos Chanel!
Keep hiking to mines like this one you 2. Thanks for putting in the effort to clamber down and back up that mountain face. Be safe folks. Thanks for sharing your explore.
Exceptionally nice one. I have lived in a very similar trailer. What a beautiful view. Loved the compressor. Happy to see you two having such a good time.

We theorize that the miners brought in the track for future use. And those plans didn't pan out.
Thanks for the Saturday explore video. That was a great little mine with most of the artifacts still there and the views are fantastic.
I love you guys. I am totally giggling over your new home. Too funny.
Nice to see you again. Since COVID many people stopped filming. Then I ( I think a lot people) wonder if you and others I (we ) followed and got to know we're also ok. Well Here We ARE.

Very cool!
Really enjoyed the exploration of the area around the mine, and that view!
keep up the good work gly! been watching for about 4 years now. thanks for not selling out either
Very neat mine site . The compressor was awesome. Glad to see you both. Enjoy all your videos. Be safe out there .
This episode is so awesome! Such cool things left over. There's one in Alaska that would blow your mind forever.
The too hard to get to mine. Proof is all those mining artifacts still there like they expected to come back. Great explore!
Way cool. This is so unusual to have all this gear still out there.
That trailer is so far not too far gone to be restored but almost. People sometimes just tear out the interiors and redo the entirety of it anyway. Not vandalized at all from the looks of it, still had most the windows.
I do love this Video😀
Beautiful Screen Shot PICTURE 🖼️
I would find a nice spot in every place and have a nice lunch. Pack a couple of comfy sturdy camping chairs and just sit and eat and enjoy the view.
Thanks for the ride through this explore. Be safe.
I bet that was a pretty cool trailer back in the day. I saw a big empty bottle of Fireball on the counter in the kitchen. Haha, you said Chipmunk Mode, I was the one that that suggestion when your breathing is sped up.
❤❤❤❤the scenery is amazing to bad the mine was small.
what a GREAT little "mom + pop" mine .. GREAT find Gly +Laura
I enjoyed that mine thank you both of you are amazing reading the book made me laugh ❤
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL GLY ❤
I USED TO I LIVE IN NEVADA 😊...WISH I GOT TO EXPLORE SOME MINES 2️⃣3️⃣
Hey y'all I love the views from the top of the hill. Wish I could be there with you. I really miss the that part of the country
Gly,, I’d still donate to you and Laura even if you’d lived in a remote cabin or cardboard box 😊Not even for a second did I believe you sold old Bob 🤣🤣. Someone could remodel that place if they wanted to. It’s still in good condition. Thanks for sharing a museum of history. It’s a story that must be told. Glad yous r having fun in the sun adventures. Who says you have to go to Cancun for adventure 😊
I am all for going into the gold business! You already have great accommodations there I see in that camp! If you need a mine engineer hit me up!
Pick me !!!
good spot to camp and sky watch :)
☺️ ALSO YOU BOTH ARE HYSTERICAL ❤
Great explore! 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧
you can see the kettle swaying with the wind suggesting there is air flow in the mine it goes deeper if you try.
Regarding the trailer there is a company in Bend Oregon that’s called Flyte Camp they would have more information of that classic trailer
The steepness of the terrain around the mine reminds me of Tom and Julie's video of the Champion Spark Plug Mine in California. Great views!!!
Nice trailer... as you sold Bob for it can I interest you is some amazing magic beans.......?
😂
Interesting how that coffee pot continued rocking throughout the video after Gly inspected it.
We didn't notice that either until the edit was done 🤨.
Think all that rail outside could be there for future use not hauled out?
Good morning everyone
Mornin’ ☕️☀️
Good Saturday Morning to you.
Thanks for the videos
Great vid!
That Fireball Whiskey bottle on the kitchen shelf upper left is from mid 1980's or 1990's at the earliest so this has been visited for a while now.
Seeing those hoses left in the mine, these folks went away for the season and thought they were coming back. Car accident? Cancer? Sudden H/A? Didn't come back.
Seems like a lot of infrastructure for such a small mine.
Looks like the trailer off the movie with Lucille Ball. The long, long trailer. Good movie
You all are a hoot
Wow that thing is totally steampunk
The head is still on the compressor motor and magneto is in tact also. Amazing!!!
Great video...thanks Gly.
Look at all that flat land below the escarpment of the rock ridge! What a view! The mine proper, looks like "keeping it simple as possible" but offereing enough space to excavate the mineral seam. Hey! back to your getting your excersise again. Most of us (in the East) put on lbs. over the cold mons. You two will be "burning" some off. Thanks for filming this "nice find".
Huge wiew.. all the flats where lakes and i think it will be again in the future.
Interesting mine explore. You would think that some of the miners themselves or their relatives would be watching mine explore videos and leave comments.
Someone probably bought a un-patented mining claim was working it which included this old lode mine. You can see they didn't have any heavy equipment or were able to get the compressor running. It looks like the compressor hasn't operated in decades.
Interesting they had the group of ladders and the mine was so small.
Speaking of Nevada, I wonder how many small mines are wasting away in the test site territory never to be seen again?
I would imagine pulling that trailer down a paved highway would’ve been quite the undertaking.
I turned 53 2 weeks ago, so I'm guessing your birthday is coming up Gly? I hope you have an awesome day Brother ✌❤🙏🍻🇬🇧
With all the infrastructure, I expected more. Still a great find. Thanks. Makes one wonder if they made money before throwing in the towel
I asked what home comforts you have in your RV on the Q and A. Now we know.
I was told as a kid that was a bumper jack !
I remember my grandpa having a wheelbarrow like that back when I was very young in the 60s. I miss him, Swedish Immigrant with old world skills.
Precipitates 👍🌸
Was that your word ? 😁
Good morning friends
🙋♂️☕️☀️

A friend of mine had a trailer from the 50s that looked like that.
that looks like a Spartan trailer !
Bet there was a Cold Water heater in there at one point 😉
Take the trailer to FLYTE CAMP in Bend , they can fix it !
It looks like a Vintage travel trailer, 1948 Victor Supreme
The trailer is a spartan mansion pretty strange that it made its way all the way up there quite expensive back in the day
Kinda looks like the trailer my Gpaw had in the 70’s in a park
20:00 Called a JACK ALL, with attachments can be used like a winch to pull also. With a 2x4 or 4-inch timber hitched to the upright of the jack, to support overhead timbers when retimbering an adit.
at 27 --10 its rock solid no rocking no moving dead steady at 28--20 its just moving fraanticly back and forth
I had one of those campers
It resembles a 52 Zimmer
Strong Bert and Heather Gumner vibes here
Whooo Hoo! Fireball!
Bob can tow it .oh yeah .
Boy, i need some help. I thought you two were serious about mining, had me disappointed. Wow. Lead on MacDuff. Give us the million dollar tour adventure. Splendid, Bravo, out doing all the previous videos, i think.
Those poor people spent ALOT of money booth accessing and opening that mine only to probably get almost nothing back!
Coffee can probably had claim deed inside
If you watch again, Gly pulled out the contents which were teabags, matches and a coffee cup, if you watch closely, you will see that the coffee pot never stops moving for the rest of the time they were inside...spooky!

you little shits! don't joke about selling BOB! I almost had a heart attack. BOB makes the show happen. - you got me! LOL
20 year old Gly would have done that. LOL living in an old bus on black coffee and cigarettes.

The trailer looks like a Spartan Manor from the 1950s.
My dad smoked bullduram And occasionally rolled his own
Silver streek . No air 48 0r 1950
Hello!!
Looks like an awful lot of investment in time and machinery for such a small mine.
How big was the waste rock pile ?
It wasn't huge, but there was the substantial hand stacked wall to the side.
My glaring question is: What are those two lengths of ladder meant to provide access to?
I wondering if those blue water barrels were stacked up to hide somethings?
This was an amazing little find. But so much effort and work and so little mine... you have to think the "mom and pop" miners probably bet their entire life savings on this and then lost every penny when the values just weren't there. There's no way that little mine paid for all the time, effort, and equipment that got hauled up on that mountain.

Lipton tea jug looks current
Looks like an old avalon trailer
