Giant eagles came down from the mtn. and spirited all humansvaway

Remember seeing all the dead palms trucking wondering what in the hell was going on there.... now I know great video kiddo!!

First--thanks very much for making this video, and for documenting this site. Your drone video is excellent. Also, I absolutely love reading the comments by folks who had a personal connection to Eagle Mountain. That said, PLEASE stop using that goofy computer generated voice to read out the text of your narration. Computer generated speech is definitely easier when you produce content, but let's face it--it sucks.

Wow! Something from my hometown! I remember going here so often when I was a kid back in the '80s

Thank you for making these videos

too bad its been sold off to put housing for illegals there. way to go cali!!

I grew up in the area great stuff

Sad to see such an interesting place slowly fading away, especially with so many people concerned this country is running out of space.

Scrap and recycle everything and build some nice houses there

Took pictures of it

Love rich people building cool things & letting them rot. 👌

this place is D Y I N G for its own dedicated horror video game series like silent hill, but with its own spooky desert vibe.

Starbucks WA has a smaller jail than that

Great video. I use to camp here for many years. I loved the sound of the train in early mornings.

Just went to rosita today I saw it today

It's too far gone to be restored.

The waterslides were purchased from Family Fun Center that was located in La Mesa but FFC closed down because the state put in the 125 freeway which was located in their exact spot. The go-cart oval track was one of the fastest and most fun at it's time. The track still stands today.

Hey man how did you find this spot?? Me and my friends like to explore abandoned areas and we’d love to see the houses

I would love to take the roller coaster apart and move it to my property..

Im sitting in desrt center now.

Yeah, went there many times as a kid. Definitely not haunted. Used to be fun though. That water slide was fun though.

Growing up in San Diego in the 80s I remember always wanting to go to marshal Scotties I would see the commercials on all the time on television but we could never afford it and as we would head up to the mountains in cuyamaca we would pass by on the freeway

Putting homeless and drugs addiction

What a beautiful video of my home town. Thank you.

I rebuke any bad from my watching this

planning on going her next week, is there any alarms?

650th like

keep up the good work

I’ve passed this in 2012

Preserve it dont restore it

My parents lived here from 1964 to 1983. I graduated from high school in Eagle Mountain in 1975, Two of my brothers also graduated after me and one of my younger sisters was in the last graduating class in 1983.

Liked the video. Music needs to recede, it’s a bit intrusive and isn’t uh dessert music for lack of a better description. Narrative is nice. Images need to follow narrative closer. For example when talking about cabin where he retired show the cabin not another drone shot of the garage. Take these criticisms lightly- overall a very informative and enjoyable video. Look forward to more.

Been there many times over the years going between SoCal and Parker Az. I remember when that gas station was still open in the 90’s. Last time I drove rice road I noticed a lot of solar farms. This video is the best one I’ve seen done on Desert Center yet. Good job 👍🏻

I was working on a job in the mine there in 1992 drilling water monitor wells. At the time, Riverside County was looking at turning the mine into a landfill. The town was abandoned then and our contact told us to pick out one of the furnished houses to stay in. We drove down to Desert Center for groceries and beer. I remember I had trouble sleeping at night because of the noise from the prison.

Great video. Music a bit dramatic for the subject being covered though. Keep up the good work.

Why has no one removed all those abandoned autos..They have to be worth some thing ?? Probably all stolen >>>

Is this town for sale?

Another interesting place to visit in California...

This a great video. I love the music and the comments. Well done ! My thoughts are that the family may have been involved in some sort of drug dealing and they pissed maybe a supplier or even the cartel and feared for their lives and just took off. There was no time to properly move so they took what they could grab and the kids and never looked back.

I would work out there on radio equipment for the old fire dept. and prison back in the 90's and it was fascinating to drive around the neighborhood. The houses were in good shape and not picked apart like they looked in this video. Some still had occupants. Worked with a guy who worked and lived there is the 70s and he made a lot of money. It is rumored that Lithium will be mined there soon and this town may re open.

Eagle Mountain definitely deserves a second chance to be restored to shine as a community of deserving people who will have a hands on rebuilding, a new heaven of lush green land, with homes to give refuge to them as Godly, goodly America loving patriots🇺🇸🦅💜🦅🇺🇸 who will keep on growing their own foods🥬🥦🌽🍏🍊🍓🌽🥦🥬 Raising families and farm animals to serve God✝💜🕊💜✝ and each other!!! ✅💚✝🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸✝💚✅ This shall be their home for generations as they worked the land which was given to them by the Lord, our Father in Heaven✝💜✝

Cool peice of history 😅

Music too loud::::::::

My grandfather Bing Lane was the mine superintendent in the early 1900s. My mom and her brother and sisters all grew up at the mine and she always said it was a crazy place to grow up! In the summer months they moved all the beds to the screened patio that surrounded the house and would wet sheets and hang them up near the screens so it would cool the air enough for them to sleep! Life was tough back then!

a era gone by in this hurry up life society needs places like desert center to slow down but who would invest in such a place

How sad that the place is allowed to “disappear”

Driving there in my Jeep Wrangler was amazing and pretty difficult at times. I was not prepared for such an interesting and unusual place which seemed to appear out of nowhere in the back and beyond. This was before the internet and information about it was hard to come by. An epic old west town with a very interesting history. Seeing it again on RUclips now is such a flash from the past. Thanks you for posting and including the history and great photography. Such a hard to visit odd jewel.

I always wanted to go to Barstow, California after I watched the movie "parent trap 3" when I was little. There's a girl who's a triplet and she runs away with her cool dude boyfriend on a motorcycle to Barstow. 😂 I guess I was a rebel even then!

Send the illegals there!
