Cabins are awesome! Wood is a warm and beautiful material to build with. Also the smell of wood. 🙌🏽I love the different marks and shades of brown in the wood. Gives a great feel to the place. Wow finding that truck was a bonus - for me nothing more awesome than an old mining camp, with an old truck outback in middle of wilderness. People who use these buildings for target practice suck. Love the old farm road. See you on the next one guys. 🤙🏽
Wonderful vid Steve and Andrea. Always look forward to these posts. Just great work. Interesting locales, rich in history and interesting information too. Always on point filming and commentary. Great job. Stay safe. See ya.👍❤️🌹😁☮️
VERY SWEET SKY,,BEEN SO GREY HERE IN MAINE..YOU GUYS ROCK,,AIR YOUR TIRES DOWN A BIT IN HEAVY ROADS..A GOOD 12 VOLT AIR PUMP LIKE THE TSUNAMI IS A GOOD ONE...STAY WELL SAFE TRAVELS.I REALLY ENJOY YOUR WORK..
Talk about remote! Oh my, I'm trying to envision working in a mine all day, and just having those cabins, even in their heyday, to come back to... That makes sense about the final building's functions, since there had to have been a camp cook, and facilities to take care of other basic needs. Imagine that being the highlight! It must have been tough going way back then, too, in terms of transport. As usual, another super video, Andrea and Steven. 👏🧡
I sure hope it was worth the trouble, getting that mercury out, because that's some seriously toxic metal to mess with! Thanks for your efforts in showing us what remote living was for those miners!
Among other things, they needed the mercury for nearby silver and gold mining. There would have been a huge demand during WW II for silver. Those brick ovens were really works of art!
You guys always find the most amazing places to explore! I loved the brick work in the old furnace, and that old truck! Looks VERY remote there. Thank you for sharing, safe travels!
Another great explore guys! Said it before: why not show some clips of you traveling up to these remote places, show us some clips of that bumpy road; it will just add to the overal ambiance and give a good feel of the location. Happy trails!
@@PinInTheAtlas The Journey series is very interesting; always love behind-the scenes stuff ;-) You only need a couple of 'travel' clips imo, just to give you an idea that you're traveling somewhere; will also give Tonto a feeling of contribution :-)
Thanks, Tracy. We didn't think about filming how we got there until after we left. We are going to start incorporating things like that. Keep a lookout for The Journey series.
The tank you thought was for an air compressor is the water tank from a hot water heater...some get cut in half long ways then used for water troughs and feed troughs to feed farm animals...
The military and even sometimes the police use these places for tactical practice. If you look at the cinnabar mine videos that I did of the Redrock Mines, that is exactly why all the buildings are all shot up. They just didn't leave the targets behind is all. Very old technology for milling. The newer tech as you know incorporates a rotary kiln for roasting the ore. Love your videos.
I hope that isn't the case. If it is, then they are terrible shots! There were more holes in the walls than on the targets and I would hope that they wouldn't have left the targets behind. That would be even more irresponsible. Glad you enjoyed the video. We'll check your vid out too.
Trying to play catch up. Saw the one on the charcoal kilns and then BLIP right at the end no nothing. Found a kiln like them outside of Apache Junction,AZ years ago and turned it into a all acoustic concert hall. That was back in my "biker" days. Yee-Haa!!! I can say it was fun. Had a spring right up the canyon. Don't want to talk about those days anymore. We'll just say i was full of vim and vigor:) This one was a cool video also. Still love that old wood. Imagine the stories those old places could tell. Love it, will keep an eye out for future post.
Oh? I got stories alright. Mining days..Treasure found..."biker" days... Even hippie days...and my cowboy days...the day i rode a buckin bull..Yee-Haa!!! I've had my days; both good and bad.
All the locals like there guns! Nevada has produced lots of mercury over the years. I'm not sure where this one is. My family worked in one for years. The Cordero mine near McDermott. The flasks weigh 76lbs each. When a truck was loaded it looked like it didn't have much weight but that mercury us heavy stuff! When the mines shut down around 1985 the demand was way down. Now days the gold mines produce enough mercury as a by product.
Hi Steve and Andrea, do you guys ever find pictures of how the places you visit used to look like back in the day? My wife and I would really like to see any.
Hi, Javier. Yes, we do if we can find ones that we are able to use without a copyright. It's hard to sift through some of the old photos to find out which ones are legitimate.
The newspaper date of 1930 gives a clue. I believe back Great Depression some miners came back up to the mine. Hoping to find enough Mining Ore to lived off. I don't know which company built the truck. But the looks of it. The truck was a flat bed was built between late 1930's to the late 1940's. The company that built it maybe Kaiser or similar company. Though I agree with not shooting up the buildings. If I had to choose buildings over people. The BLM might oversee the land. But there are some of people don't recognize their authority over the land. On the brick structure there was a metal plate. That are similar used for trucking docks and railroads. The refrigerator unit looks like from like maybe 1930's or 1940's?
I would say instead of going to a range and training, they wanted a new range to train at and found an abandoned site for it. We used to paintball at an abandoned rock quary,but paint balls are not toxic and washable,forest service used paint markers for tree marking,anyways what a waist.
@@PinInTheAtlas Referring to yourself per say, in being out and about, putting together a UA-cam video, and a stray bullet comes out of no-where, because someone thought it was clever to fire off a few rounds,,
Keep up the good work!
I can't add to so many good comments!
Cheers,

When we go to these places, all of our 5 senses are inundated and immersed in the area. Thanks for your support, Bernardo.
Great find of a 1940 Dodge1 1/2 ton dump truck
The rear springs on that truck were massive. The rear differential appeared pretty stout too!
Wonderful vid Steve and Andrea. Always look forward to these posts. Just great work. Interesting locales, rich in history and interesting information too. Always on point filming and commentary. Great job. Stay safe. See ya.👍❤️🌹😁☮️
Wow, such compliments. Thank you so much, we really appreciate your support. It is what helps us continue to find these incredible locations.

Thanks, Ralph. We do air down and have a new air pump. Thanks for enjoying our adventures.

Thanks, Rhonda. We always think the same way and admire their gumption.
That old Dodge truck would make a great rat rod!
That would be cool to see, Tom.
Hi guys. Great video.
Great video you two. A huge thank you for the effort it takes to make these trips to such remote locations.
Hi, Bill. Thanks for your support and glad you are enjoying our content. Stay tuned on how we put all this together in The Journey series.
Another awesome video thanks for sharing bye

Good video. Bet people take those weathered boards for their rec rooms.
Thanks, John - and more than likely! Shame people can't leave things for others to enjoy.
Awesome video guys
Thank you thats a cool place
I love these old buildings 👷♂️
Gorgeous 🤩
💖🙏💞

Yep, it was extremely remote, Don. The closest town was also a ghost town!!!! Glad you enjoyed our "pin". See you on our next adventure.
11:05 correct, I don't think I would want to be friends with those guys 😐
The truck is a Dodge . John Keane .Aus.
Thanks for the vid and tackling that road!
It is an ice-box, my grand father bought one from the old school house, in Marquez, Texas.
Maybe!

@@pixelpeter3883 Always good to get ideas from our viewers. Thanks.
Very interesting. Would have liked to seen some of the road conditions driving to the mine. It's part of the adventure. Show us.

@@PinInTheAtlas To them this is not a historical treasure. It's a garbage dump.
@@mobiltec So sad.
Such a shame this is used for target practice. P D and military should make their own places. How sad
@@paularogers3549 Probably kids. The military would have better aim - or so you'd hope!

Glad you enjoyed the kiln video, Richard. You'll have to tell us some stories about your biker days when we visit.
Oh? I got stories alright. Mining days..Treasure found..."biker" days... Even hippie days...and my cowboy days...the day i rode a buckin bull..Yee-Haa!!! I've had my days; both good and bad.
Looking forward to hearing about your adventures
@@PinInTheAtlas Just make sure i get 24 hr notice so i can leave the light on for y'all. Acually so i can clean me house.
Never heard of the term mess hall before
Oh really, a mess hall is the term they use for a military dining room. Hope that helps

@@javierornelas4271 We really appreciate your support, Javier and are so happy you are enjoying our "pins".
Sad to see that people are using these old buildings for target practice
Totally agree, Michael.
This adventure was very interesting, but why where the buildings built differently? Hope you got back safely.
Thank you for the Information Stephen.
If the rock has dark streaks in it, chip it away and if it turns red you have cinnabar.
Good to know, thanks, Bob.
Yes thats a bed for a dump truck
Holy cow, it looks like the military used this in a training exercise or something! I sure hope they wouldn't do that
If it was the military, they were pretty bad shots! Probably some kids emulating military training after a few bud lites!

It seems like the drywall would have been after the war. The framing with the diagonal bracing would have been before the war.
@@RaoulThomas007 There could have been attempts to find more ore unofficially. Hoping that more could be found.
We completely agree with all of that, Wayne. Thanks for adding to the story. We love comments like this.
I would say instead of going to a range and training, they wanted a new range to train at and found an abandoned site for it. We used to paintball at an abandoned rock quary,but paint balls are not toxic and washable,forest service used paint markers for tree marking,anyways what a waist.
Whoever they were, they obviously had one too many as they couldn't shoot straight. lol
Crazy captioning...why would they separate the minors from the miners?
Appears you have found Silhouette City.
A lot of these places does give one the apocalyptic vibe.
No one can say you two don't get good exercise.
Some days more than others. 😆
What do you think the odds are, of some UA-cam blogger being out and about, and being shot up by a stray bullet? Pretty high, i would say..
Could you elaborate on that, Kevin?

@@kevinbrennan2004 We have never encountered the sound of gunfire while filming if we had, we would leave.
shooting range for a militia group,
That could be a possibility.
We have allowed irresponsible people to own guns
And have drivers licences as well!
