great adventure. thanks for the ride along. ...happy trails always....

Tour bus, eh? Yup, stamp mill. Wonder where the underground workings were?

Someones nice home until it was trashed, what dreams they had it was probably nice at one time.😊

I just love exploring Nevada Desert in the fall an winter months, to see where people lived an what they did.

i'm 64 yrs. old now but i spent a night in union with my family as a kid around 1971-1972. i slept next to an old brick bldg. that had a plaque inside stating that "samuel clements" (mark twain) had stayed a few nights there. a lot of silver and copper mines in that area. at that time there were still a few houses with folks still livingt there full time but it was already recognized as an official ghost town.

Nice to see a new adventure never know what is on those left and right turns while exploring love your talks along the way 😀

The carcass at 08:40, next to the auger, is a mower frame. The open gear would most likely make it a John Deere #4. A few other manufactures also had an open gear box, so with out stamped numbers hard to say. 10:40 more the same. Nice little stop.

Lots of fun explores in NV.

I passed by there last time the drove through Hwy 50. Wished I stopped to check it out. I’ll check it out next time I fly back in the southwest since I’m planning to retire in Nevada.

Cyanide smells like almond extract or cherries. Hard to describe odors.

The Stamp Mill must have been removed. Hills of slag.

Hello glad to see your back and found a mine way out in the middle of Nevada from what you say the military wants to buy it so then this is privately owned .Still nice seeing things from lond ago 🇺🇸🤔 yes Roaming people be ware out there

Keep the work up man your doing great👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thinking about moving to Silver Springs, this video was highly informative since we're viewing from New York. Thank you! We were out there last year and loved it.

A nice little town. I have been there several times before, and heading back tomorrow. Can't wait to get there!

Ive been going to this town since I was a little girl with my parents and sister. My dad had a friend that owned the Taylor's house. We would go up every summer. When I turned about 42, I left the Bay Area and moved to Plumas County near Graeagle. I never went back. Ive been here 20 years now. My sister has a house between Sierra City and Downieville. I love this area. I hope you went on Gold Lake Rd. and checked out Sand Pond and Sardine Lake and the resort behind it. You have a beautiful view of the Buttes from there.

Next time go down the ally way by the bank and restaurant, there is a patio are to set by the rive. Also go through the bar and onto their pation in back by the river. The river runs behind all those shops. Also by the courthouse there are gallos.

They drain the Lake about every two years or so to make sure the parasites are all gone.

A nice tour. Very quiet there. What day of the week was it?

My grandmother was born in Silver City Nevada in 1894

I’ll never be there myself, but love to see it.

Really enjoying the videos.

Would be interesting to hear some stats on the towns you’re visiting. (Population, average temp., crime, main business, cost of homes). Well done!! You have the perfect voice and cadence (reminds me of the Waltons), just need a better camera.

Pyramid lake IS an ancient lake

Route 447 north of Nixon heading towards the Black Rock desert where burning Man is held has been of interest to me over the past several years as well. I am of the opinion that the organized looking " circles and scalloped regular structures". of tufa are influenced by blue green algae or other similar biological activity during formation. Think of the looks of the underwater "dark smokers" , geological Vents under the ocean that have regular formations from bioactivities. Lake Lahontin covered this entire area all the way to salt lake City up to approximately 13,000 years ago or so. Though not necessarily supported by the intellagence of somebody that knows what they're talking about, in my research on this area, the following speculation is added for your consideration: 😮 The Pliestocene was the prior age before the one we are in now, which ended approximately 11 ,000 to 12,000 years ago. Coincident with that era, was the rise of the Sierra Nevada. The Sierra Nevada is formed by a broken- off piece of the North American plate caused by the rapid subduction of the Farallon plate over the last million and a half years or so. The unusual forces that resulted in this huge uplift cracked off a "chunk" of the N.A. plate, resulting in a very steep eastern "face"of the imoutain range. Because the Pluestocene was so much wetter and so much colder than currently, the Eastern slope of the broken section of the internal portion exposed of the North American plate was subject to rapid erosion caused by glaciers and water flow . This resulted in many subterranean flows of water in a downward direction (of course,) which generated many of the springs which arose underneath Lake Lahontan, which gave rise to the tufa towers. It is interesting to note, and was a surprise to me to find out, that calcium carbonate is much more soluble in cold water than warm water. Therefore, the under ground springs which rose up from the floor of Lake Lahontan consisted of very cold water saturated with with calcium carbonate which had been collected by the grinding glaciers and water flow down the eastern slope mentioned above, which would surface under the water, in warmer water, and precipitate calcium carbonate in the form of the tuffa towers that's the subject of this thread. Most tufa 30:53 of significant volume was collected over periods of time measured in thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years. Slowly. 😅 I did not know that this note was going to turn out to be as long as it is. My study of this situation a rose during a process which I have Pursued while attempting to derive a method to effect direct air capture of carbon dioxide, more of which information can be found at www earththrive.net. The accumulated alkaline materials located beneath the playas of Northern Nevada constitute enough material to entrap chemically all of the carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere , for geological periods of time. Being merely a safety engineer, I can garner no attention to the premise. Thank you for jogging my memory in regard to this matter. Those are definitely unique formations, and demonstrative of the fact that we live in a wonderful world indeed. We are all in this togerher...❤

I used to hunt Deer on McDonald Peak, east of Termo, in the early and mid 70’s…my buddies and I would stop in for a beer or two during our trip to gas the jeeps and trucks…I do remember that the general store had a beer-wine bar, and I believe it had gas pumps as well….inside the bar there was a collection of various live rifle and pistol shells on a shelf behind the bar, and there were maybe 1/2 dozen mounted deer heads…deer taken on McDonald Peak and the surrounding mountains…one of them was later measured, then entered in the Boone and Crockett Record Book as a trophy class mule deer

The original Train Depot. Was burned down several years ago.

Bonanza was filmed here.

I grew up in Gabbs. Small town living is something else. Gabbs kids were cut from a different cloth. Btw, you missed the other side of town.

Love Dayton. First capital of Nevada...

I wanna move there

My G.G.G. grandfather built the original Washington hotel (Hessel Buisman) his daughter & son in law G.G. grandparents took it over, then Great grandparents had it....haven't been there in about 20 years. Thanks for sharing

My favorite place in Reno.

Love the history and feel of these old west towns!

Have you ever been to Bodie? I love that ghost town but you have to be careful you don't drive over the mountain ledge driving up there. Makes me homesick seeing Daytin again. Thank you!🎉

My house was built in 1900…. You passed it 2 xs but didn’t give a shout out. 😊

That's my town, I 💜 it here, for a small lil town there is a lot of events for the whole town like the county fair, the high Sierra music festival, Holiday events etc. on top of all the mountain nature activities, the people are nicer, locals know each other & when we see each other in town (even people we don't know) we actually wave & talk to each other, the local mom n pop shops are friendly, there is very low crime here, I'm originally from the Bay area (about 20 years ago) but I will never go back to live there....this town/mountain & nature living will change ya....the main downside is the fires all around!!!! Other than that please come visit, we love visitors!!!! 😊💜🏞️🌲🦅🐻🐺🦊🦝🦨🐿️🦉🦅

Welcome to Silver Springs. Every need a tour I'b be happy to show you around.

It was a restaurant back in the 70 s the small garage was Bills Transmission and the small house was an old miner's

Old, but caught glimpse of newer finished walls inside.

Do you know the asking price on this piece of property?

Lots of good memories here..the last to live in the house were named Jim Nelson and his wife Nancy..poker nights once a week.😎👊🏻

There's a "Trash or Treasure" sign on the property, possibly the name of a thrift store? This might explain why they had so many of those hand bags. The restaurant/store was built in 1949 and the house was built in 1951.

I was a driver as well going up and down that road at least two or three times a week. Did you ever stop in Mina? and explored the old train depot they had there?

My guess, I've been there a number of times. Navy, before the Berlin wall came down. 1980s' up to about 1998. Aviation Weapons training

Of you keep going up 49 check out camptonville. Then keep going north through winding canyons. Pretty drive. Then you will run into good years bar. Then downieville. Nice drive

That brick makes it nice and solid!

Another wonderful video, thanks so much! I was going to drive here but don't need to. Hope you're well

Those Joshua trees are BEAUTIFUL, and priceless.

Hello nice looking around I found some info looks like this place might have been called Green wave sports bar at one time some people might call it a Roadhouse =Local bar and dance place unsure what year most likely in the last 20 years ?Unsure how long it was there 🇺🇸thank you for the explore
