No visit to the abandoned recording studio.

One of the BEST short videos that tells the COMPLETE STORY - great job !!!

Very well done... no silly music or voice.. just well done..congratulations

2:14 1899 fire, 1905 fire. 3:27 1920s stone building remains.

Well put

You should check out the mining camp called Iron Clad by Gunnison Colorado. My aunt has our Family Cabin just above it 🌹🙏🕊️

While you mentioned the struggles of Caribou, its residents and miners, there were many who passed away up there and who's final resting place is just over the hill- I will not describe the cemetary's exact location in order to keep it preserved. Its hidden and not obvious so unless one knows where exactly it is, one will never find it. A stark reminder of how very hard life was ' in the place where winds are born '. The town burned several times and each time the winds drove the flames fast. A walk over to the southwest up a jeep trail that starts at that log cabin eventually brings one to a small treeless summit where you can see Eldora ski area, the 4th of July Pass as well as N & S Arapaho peaks among others of the Indian Peaks range. side note: The famous recording studio of the same name is actually several miles north in a secluded private valley.

A lovely job on a part of Colorado history most will never realize happened in "them 'thar hills"!

Just enjoyed your presentation....excellent! Thank you...🌻🌻🌻

I visited Caribou 42 years ago when I was 21 years old. I had an old Willys Jeep and several books of Colorado ghost towns written by Lincoln High School history teacher Robert L. Brown. Thanks for the video! I'd like to go to more ghost towns but the time and miles on this old bag of bones makes it tough.

What I know Caribou for is that in the 1970s, my favorite band Chicago had their recording studio there.

50 years ago my great uncle from nederland took us up to the graveyard via an old backroad ( in his wyllis panelwagon).

a view from the top ! awesome !! your documentary I watched on Caribou was soooo good !! hope you do more history stuff, the world is out exploring you should be telling them where to go and what happened there, I got a taste and, want more for sure, just letting you know, you got something good going on, best of luck !!

the "seeing " and " directions" hardly any one does that, always do that when you can !!! made this a really useful fully informative..... awesome !!

Very good yet sad to see such a beautiful town go to ruins😢😢😢 imagine what coulda been.

Thank you and well narrated!👍. There are so many ghost towns in Colorado I hope u can cover them!

Well done!

Thanks for this! great memories, used to go up there a lot. Lived in Gold Hill.

“inhospitable winters” “extremely harsh weather conditions” Or, as those of us who live up here prefer to think of it, ‘the *best time of year’!* ❄️⛷🛷☃️

It's pronounced Nedderland lol. It's one word lmao.

great job 👏🏼

I enjoyed this video, thank you. Is there a cemetary ?

Great history. Nicely done!

Well done my friend. I just went up there to video. And your video was helpful. Did you know there is a cemetery. You were right next to it.

Those roping logistics look like a great way to drown someone

Age is just a number these BBoys still got the moves !!! Looks Epic.

My Uncle lived In Idaho springs always took us up the back way on a jeep trail. All that was there were a few holes in the ground , many tomb stones , and short trees bent by the ever blowing wind. Many died from water borne disease. How sad. Quite the experience though. I grew up in colorado.

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing

Your effort and work were evident in the presentation of this video . Your narration was informative, concise and had an almost poetic quality. I liked this so much I viewed it with total interest 3 times. Great job, thank you.

Very nicely done!! Thanks

I grew up in Nederland co an this is one of my favorite hikes

Excellent, brief overview...thanks!

I just wanted to thank everyone who watched this movie! THANK YOU I can't describe how happy it makes me that even just one person in this universe liked this enough to write a nice comment! THANK YOU!

Beautiful! From Max, Genoa, Italy

Very well executed. I enjoyed the narrative, music, & videography. But what really liked was the history. I appreciated the comparison of views, Jackson’s with the recent. I hope you are able to produce more videos of other Colorado ghost towns.

This was very well done - a polished and charming look back. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together, and to tie in so many old photos. I also like to visit the ghost towns of Colorado and often struggle to imagine what each would feel like in its heyday.

more like men chasing a dream of getting rich fast? its an un-sound method that collapsed into its own footprint, such goes all who live life for self rejecting Jesus and his words of seek the kingdom of heaven first and all these things shall be added to you! the bread of life or some dumb cold rocks? they chose poorly? how did you chose stranger? the bread of eternal life or your doom with killery?

Thank you for memories, our family often camped there in the sixties. As the youngest my brothers would scare me with tales of Alfred Packer who roamed the mountains looking for his next meal.

Great video! It really captures the solitude one expects from a journey of that magnitude.

Those people worked hard.....not like today...

Thanks for the video. I'll be taking some friends up there next week? How's the snow in first mile? Do you recommend traction devices? We'll be staying on the trail.

Great shake! Keeps you feeling good!

Very good video and commentary. I have often stopped and let my mind take me back to forgotten times. It seems harsh to just dismiss these old towns to nothing in ones mind. I am more familiar with the Chalk Creek area and I always go to the cemetaries as they hold victims od diseases we have now conquered that were a death sentence back then. These people had it hard, very hard and you have to wonder how they made it. As my departed mom used to say, and I believe it, "each generation gets weaker" as we make sure our kids don't have it as hard as we do.Put our kids in the situation those kids endured and they wouldn'd make it. At the least inconvience they crater or so it seems. Sad.

I find it sad to know that a dream someone had and acted on has vaporized. Great video; thank you.

Well done, Thank you.

Very impressive, of all the videos like this one, yours is the best, informative with history and photographs, I look forward to more of your videos like this one

Great video

I lived just outside of Nederland in the early 80's and photographed several ghost towns in the area. All photos were tossed out by my ex-wife about 10 years later. Someday I hope to go back with a better camera. These are the history of the west. Boulder itself still had what was left of a 'red-light' district remaining which is now, I believe, where the criminal justice center is located.

My great-great-grandfather Hugh McCammon and his brother-in-law by the last name of Pickel were the first to stake the claim on the Caribou Silver mine. Both men sold their interest in the mine in the early 1870s. Hugh sold his shares in the mine for 5 to 6 million, Hugh came to Colorado from Missouri in 1865, And originally homesteaded on a thousand acre ranch which is presently in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Using the proceeds from the mine. He opened The First Bank of Central City. Also was one of the first donars to help establish Colorado University in Boulder CU. Hugh Mccammon served as a territorial legislature for the state of Colorado before it made statehood in 1876. The family homestead which is located in Golden Gate Canyon Park. Is located near the old barn knoll area in the park. All that's left is the foundation of the original barn he built in the late 1860s. The state placed a commertive informational plaque halfway down the trail overlooking the barn. Thanks for the video Caribou is one Gem of a ghost town, And a major part of the Mccammon family's history in Colorado since the 1860s.

Just an excellent piece with several photos I've never seen before. I've been in love with the lore of Caribou since 1958 when I first saw it as a 10-year old kid on a summer vacation with relatives. Saw it again in 1959, 1970, and six or seven times through the early 90's. The cemetery and a number of gravestones and fences and a number of structures still remained back in 1958. Sadly during a visit in 2016 few noticeable signs of this once bustling mining town remain. Time and weather are relentless and have reclaimed what vandals haven't. Thanks for keeping the memory alive. Excellent work.
