🔺(includes 1985 details below): I might suggest, when a community is abandoned, leaving behind personal items, there's far greater potential that the reasons might be more akin to "health hazards", rather than the local mine closing. Use caution, research first, and know, the state/county/city, overwhelmingly are not eager to admit the greater facts. 🔺 A few 1985-86 Facts: 🔺 1985 to present is 38 years. "Miami vs San Francisco" in the 1985 Superbowl, Quarterbacks: *Marino vs Montana", Montana and San Francisco won. ⭐ (I delivered a Boy, 7 lbs 7 oz, 23 inches, and missed the game that day, January 20th, 1985.) ⭐ But the next year he sat on my lap as we watched my Team win the 1986 Superbowl. 🔹The "Bears", the famous Chicago Bears team with Walter Peyton, Sweetness, Running Back, the Fridge, and the "Superbowl Shuffle".

It's heartbreaking to see the possessions left behind. It makes me wonder what kind of situation was causing so much distress. I was forced out of my last apartment complex, as a private equity firm bought it and forced all the renters out. I lost a lot of my things, but at least one family with children were locked out, being forced to leave everything they owned. I can't get over how many apartment complexes require a credit check, even complexes that take Section 8, do this. People are low income don't have credit cards, that's the biggest reason their credit rating is so low. They need renter history, not credit checks!
Isn't it amazing how many properties are abandoned with all the peoples belongings left behind ???, there is probably an explanation why but hard to comprehend ay ??, so well done you blokes and keep it up and keep safe Cheers
First time I've encountered this channel and I really liked the video. I appreciate hearing about the place's history--it really orients the site in place and time. I could just imagine it in the early days, the types of cars they would have driven, the types of dresses the receptionist in the office would have worn. I also like the personalities of the presenters--relaxed, friendly, relatable.
Welcome to our channel and thank you so much for your lovely comment. When we explore we too imagine what the places would have looked like back in their hay day. The lives of the people and what happened to make them leave. We still have lots to learn with filming and editing and try to improve with each video. We post new content every Tuesday 7am PST and hope you join us on our journey.
Wonderful, forested explore. Relics of the days of our lives. Leaves me somewhat melancholy. Ground is not very overgrown except for volunteer trees yet buildings are in varied conditions. Thanks for sharing the loo, Andrea, certainly a complete explore. Steven, your hair is so long. Do like the head kerchief. Thanks for including me in your travels. Really enjoyed the video. Your skills of audio and video are quite good. Bon Voyage!
Yes the state of decay was quite different for each building. I do like the bandana a lot have always worn them but tend bounce between that and a hat more these days depending on temperature.
Just ended. Ooh, Ooh that smell. Can't you smell that smell? Ooh,Ooh that smell, the smell of death is around you. Love that wood in the office. Just think, if he hadn't made them 2x4s he wouldn't have had anything to nail that wood to.😊 Great production.
I liked that town. Was that by the lumber mill? I had a temporary space out from town to lumberyard. We had that pine paneling in the house i grew up in. My dad built it. They quit making that paneling right after he built it. 1954 an 1955. I went to that house before it got torn down an took all the paneling. An a 6 by 6 bookshelf he made that was on one wall. Came home an clipped all that paneling back together an put the bookshelf there an it was my old living wall in my house now. It's beautiful wood. Thanks guys. Great finds. Loved it.
They were very close together yes. The forest hid it very well. The panelling was beautiful can kind of see why they would want to take it, but they certainly caused unnecessary damage doing so
Your videos just keep getting better and better. I loved your videos when you first packed up, but what a difference. And I'm not just saying that because of the shout out!
Hi Steve and Andrea - amazing place, I can't remember when I have seen so much junk and rubbish. But it is so sad when so many very personal items are just abandoned - like someone's exam results. I imagine the community was deserted when the source of employment finished; why would they stay in the back of beyond if there was no source of income? I guess that there were far fewer trees 40 or so years ago. All but the biggest trees would have grown from seed in the intervening years.
You found Ghost Lumber Town. It seems that when people left. They took mostly their furniture and main personally items. I believe the boxes found in the buildings might have been used for storage? The glass jars were used for putting screws, bolts, nuts ,nails and etc......The buildings in a few more years will start to collapse. But a neat find.
Thanks for another amazing video! These abandoned places are so fascinating and full of mystery. They feel a bit sad but also calm. It's like time slows down in a world that's always rushing. I'm always curious about what daily life was like back in its prime, when it was brand new. What events shaped its history and where are they now?
We always wonder the same thing, that’s what makes these places feel a little eerie at times. The utter silence in a place that was once so full of life.
I just don't understand how places can stay so abandoned for this long without being touched or looked at like no one else ever knew that this place ever existed and very filthy too! Also, how come it was never examined or inspected after all these years!!!! And they say that they smell the smell of death and they don't want to go in there, how peculiar!
We don't give out the locations on some of our explores, but we give enough historic info for people to do their own research. Hope you enjoyed your investigation and thanks for your comment Jennifer.
We came upon a small community back in the early 70s the blacksmith shop still had old harness hanging it was in volcano wva even the houses had alot of furniture left we contacted the state since it was on state property
Oh man .. that 5 hour fixin the boat motor story then having lunch is dispassionately eerie and foreshadowing.. ( Steven ‘that story has a little bit of everything!’ ) 🤣 I guess they didn’t make it back from the last boat trip?!? fffff !!! 😬
It was a booming town at one time. Seems any ghosts have left the scene. Although that building with the stench should be investigated for a dead body. Great video.
I had no idea those places existed until I caught a clue of where they may be then saw there are several . I won't give away the location but yes very unexpected 😮
There so many communities like this around the country. When a mill, mine, or a factory closes, the people leave. There's places around where I live, where only a single building remains, of what were once thriving little towns. And with time even those buildings will disappear. And then they will only be names on old maps.
Mill towns shut down all over the wood, cut and run slash and burn economics. Got ready for a Rummage sale (garage sale) what didn't sell got left behind. Whoever just walked away. What a mess I suppose it will all regress back to nature years from now. Thank you stay safe
I wonder if this was some type of camp? Was this group of buildings pretty near the remains pf the mill? We know that the letter was dated 1985. I don't think nature alone could do that much damage in 38 years, or less. I wonder if a natural disaster, like a hurricane, or flood hit the area. That was so interesting, and is just so perplexing. Thank you so much, Andrea and Steven. 👏🏻🤔💛☀️
Yes the town site was pretty close to the mill. Not sure about a natural disaster. The mill mysteriously caught fire again in the 80s and never reopened. Glad you enjoyed it Rhonda.
My guess would be downturn in economy, mill shut down and basically forced the works and residents of this place to leave and start over somewhere else.
Very disturbing.😊. Why everyone left is very disturbing,,maybe they didn’t want to bother with all the garbage or so much to take along. Was there a cemetery near by?
Didn’t see a cemetery Tina. But then again there was so much more hidden in the woods. We spent the best part of the day exploring and didn’t see it all.
Ohh man... so many treasures we'd love to salvage all over that place.... such a shame it'll all rot away. Damn this "exploring edicate"😂. AWESOME explore guys, this place is incredible! 👏 Also, put a battery in that Camry and grab a screwdriver, it'll start right up!
Yea this place really surprised us. The further into the forest we went the more revealed itself! So many amazing things that were left behind. I know that car was in remarkable shape didn’t see any evidence of critters which was super unusual!
Sasquatch (or Sabe) as First Nations call them in North America, can leave a nasty smell - not unlike rotting meat, fish, garbage and such. Yet it seems strange that they would hole up at all in an abandoned structure. So it's likely a wild animal of some kind ended up perishing, could be easily buried under the dead pine needles.
Absolutely love you two. I’ve been to several of the ghost towns that you have visited in the Idaho and Montana areas. I live in Idaho. I just want to say I truly appreciate the time you spend trying to find as much information as you can on the places you visit. Also, can I say…. I just want to go travel with you. I am a huge ghost town fan. Haven’t even touched on the places I would like to visit. I love the history and the stories and the cemeteries, they tell their own stories. Thanks so much for doing what you do! Get another Pin in the Atlas!! ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. We do our best to research the places we explore. Love history. We can learn so much. If there’s places that you can recommend and would like us to cover please email us. Happy New Year and see you on our next adventure.
1920s proved to be a golden age for the company. Cheney Brothers was the only factory in the world carrying silk all the way from its raw form to a finished product, and employment rolls peaked at well over 4,500 workers-a figure that represented more than 25% of the population of Manchester. Factory property encompassed more than 175 acres and in 1923, Cheney recorded a record profit of $23 million.
I use to demolish houses with both equipment and by hand. So much useful lumber there. I would resell lumber that i removed and landfill or burn the rest. You could make a smaller home on that property with what you salvaged. Lots of potential with such a beautiful property. Very sad.
That’s what they did in the old days, repurpose pretty much everything. Unfortunately today we live in a throwaway society. This place could be amazing
@@PinInTheAtlas I sincerely believe that those days are returning as we go thru this period of deglobalization and energy constraints i.e. peak oil. But that's for another discussion.
Interesting explore as usual, but probably not the best video to watch during lunch! lol I think the main purpose of your church/community building was that of a school. You could see where the blackboards had been removed from the walls. It was common for schools in small communities to serve as community buildings and churches as well. Jars have many uses and some types of what we consider disposable jars today were reused to store canned foods. I think during the pre1960s ... folks were far more "green" than those folks pretending to be "green" today!
Yes looking at it again we did see the chalkboard outlines. And have to absolutely agree everything back in the day had more than one use and they were so much smarter. Unlike this throw away “ultra noble and forward thinking” society forced upon us today
I know the town. I believe it was for sale back in the early 2000's. It is interesting how the people just left the entire town. It is a short drive to nowhere to get there. My friends parents live in the town down the hill.
It always amazes us too. Where did they go and why leave their stuff. We just happened upon the town while searching for the mill. There’s still lots of logging in the area.
Great video. The concrete building with high walls and rails I am assuming was a dry kiln to dry the lumber. Rolling it in on stacks and drying them . A process mills would use in the day. I sure enjoyed watching your video. Good find. Thanks for the history
I realize that you don’t like to reveal locations but what state were you in? You couldn’t find any information about the location? It’s intriguing, such a mystery.
I would have gotten the hell out of these houses, never mind trying to find out what happened. This place is creepy, and definitely scary. I don’t know, some people like adventure! 🤷♀️
@@PinInTheAtlas You have that 100 % correct. I have been with Jenni since she started RUclips. There are a lot of online chatting that she blocked for all our sakes as there were very personal. She is a great person and just needs a bit of face to face comforting which I cannot do as I am on the East coast in Virginia. I so much appreciate you help and many blessings to you. Larry and Joyce.
My great uncle back in the day was killed in a logging accident in Tennessee. Me and my Great aunt were close. But he passed long before I was alive. But my relatives were in logging.
New Sub Here:). This is the perfect place to hide bodies . I bet this place was amazing lives back when they lived here!@ this place defnly looks like people came here and destroyed what was once box up and nice and tidy, teenagers and parents do the samething sad but true:( I love how nature is back in de country and take over again that belongs to her.:)I saw this video so i came to see what it is wewll im likeing this content and visual excelent views awesome amazing job. Have a wonderful weekend and be safe and healthy for your next adventure and exploring ? New Friend from NWP, FL Barbara G.
Welcome to our channel Barbara! We love trying to imagine these places before the vandals get to them. Picturing what the community was like and doing our best to be as respectful as possible to their memories. We hope you will continue to enjoy the type of content we put together. Our earlier stuff is a little cringy looking back now, but still fun nonetheless the less. Thank you for your kind words we really appreciate that. We post new content every Tuesday morning. We will see you on our next adventure!
What was the name of the town? Where is it on the map? With the materials there, it could be cleaned up, and maybe a lodge built from the scrap!!!!!! Then, those who have memories of that places would be honored.
We don’t know the name of the town, we just happened upon it. Your idea sounds nice but unfortunately there are too many people who would vandalise and destroy it.
I was born with the gift. And I see a lot more than others. Want to see but I'm okay at 65 I still live on my legacy. I'm watching and seeing the evil and the unclean of families that have hurt their loved ones. This will be a consequences of the injury. I already know I have already seen the powers of the great spirit.
The Cheney Stud brand of a stud horse imprinted on the ends and faces of Cheney Studs was recognized throughout the industry as a sign of top quality. The application of a check resistant, red-colored wax base paint to the end of the studs was originated by the Cheney Lumber Company, and for many years their product was the only one so identified. Saw-milling at this location began in 1930 when Harry Horr relocated his sawmill to here from Cayton Valley. The sawmill was taken over by the Cheney-Grant Lumber Company in the 1940's. The sawmill remained active until 1978 or 1979, when it was purchased by Louisiana Pacific and closed. Mr. Cheney died on March 18, 1971
Thank you Jim for the information. It was an interesting place to explore. Hope you join us on our other adventures. We post new content every Tuesday.
Makes you wonder why people find necessary to destroy it all. People have no respect at all even when it was abandoned in 1983. And of course nature did work aswell but like many I wonder what the background is of this village or town. The red cabin looked still great
Many Cheney workers did not need to commute to their job; they lived on plant propertyCheny Village in company-built homes. Strikingly modern for their time, Cheney houses boasted some of the first indoor plumbing in Manchester and all were powered by the company’s own gas and electric firm.
If you find a place and don’t know why they left. I was wondering if you can go to the nearest library and see about finding information on how abandoned town and find out what happened to them and why they left in the first time and then why they left behind all of their possessions? Thank so very very
The town was in the middle of nowhere but we think its abandonment would be something to do with the closure of the mill. But a good idea. Thanks for your comment.
You would think that there should be a history of the town/ location. Especially since there was quite the sizeable church and what looked to me to be a post office building on the location. I think many people including myself would be interested in why the sudden abandonment of this place!
For people to abandon so much personal stuff you really need to let your mind be open Maybe just as simple as pot growers that all went to jail ? Sasquatch? Or one at a time til there was no reason to stay 🤔 Just founf you and subscribed ❤ The pair of you make me feel like we would be friends if we lived in the same community 😁 so thanks awesome upload 🎉 from western Oregon
Welcome to our channel Molly and thanks for subscribing. We hope you enjoy all of our adventures (although the earlier ones are a little cringey). We post new content every Tuesday and look forward to more of your comments.
Welcome Anita. We hope you continue to enjoy our explores. We post new content every Tuesday and look forward to reading your comments. See you on another adventure.
We were very curious too, with most of our locations being so remote we always wonder if we will someday come across something like that. Glad you enjoyed the adventure!
rom 1929 to 1933 the company sold their high school building, gas and electric firms, several schools and recreation buildings, the South Manchester Water Company, the South Manchester Sanitary and Sewer District, and the South Manchester Railroad. Even these measures could not restore company finances, and in 1935 Cheney Brothers applied for reorganization under a new federal bankruptcy law
Guess the mill was mentioned on the map(s) but the 'village' wasn't? Kinda weird how chockablock with stuff some of those houses were. Almost like people got evacuated. BTW: got plenty of adds during this video and let them all play through, expect for those that were up to over 4 mins! Just saying ;-)
Yes all we seen was the mill site which we almost just turned around, but decided to go for a little walk and we’re pleasantly surprised to find everything else. Thank you for watching the adds! The ending for some reason was totally cut off on our end, have no idea why!
This deserted ghost town and mill have a very interesting past. When we arrived we were’t expecting to find so much left behind. What a discovery!

We think that the people who lived here worked at the mill. When that closed we’re guessing the people left. We don’t know just guessing.
This is an old mining town. When mining became scarce less mineral came out of the ground everyone started leaving, only taking what they could carry.
Thanks for the info. We didn’t know about the mining just the timber mill.
@@PinInTheAtlas there were some very prosperous mines in that area. Beautiful area.
Why nobody has wanted to go back and buy properties is beyond me! What a cool place to move to with my tribe and build up new again ❤
Thanks for commenting. It certainly is a cool place.
People used the jars to can fruits,vegetables,soups for the winter months.Also make jellies and jams. A reslly cool explore.❤️👍
Thanks Gayle. We find those jars everywhere!
Isn't it amazing how many properties are abandoned with all the peoples belongings left behind ???, there is probably an explanation why but hard to comprehend ay ??, so well done you blokes and keep it up and keep safe Cheers
It really is. We come up with all kinds of explanations as to how and why, but we also love the mystery. That in itself is so much fun and intriguing!
What an experience to just find when you're looking for something else! Thanks as always for a fantastic video!

The ceiling tiles are from the early 1900's era, they were a very high demanded home decor for the middle class.
Oh wow thanks for the info.
Amazing community it must have been to live in. Very cool! Awesome that you found it by accident. Love to wander around there. Thanks guys !
It was a total surprise to us Bernardo and didn’t know the history of the town but gather they worked at the mill until it ceased operation.
Hi, Bernardo! What city is this place? Marilyn

I would NEVER be there at night.
You two find some of the most interesting places exploring. I don't hear any birds or bugs for you being in the woods.
We didn’t see any apart from the odd spider 🕷️

The jars were our present day cans. Canning was the way of preserving things.

That has to be the reason behind the abandonment. The personal items do get us though just seemed very odd. Food, clothes, dishes. Just bizarre!
You found Ghost Lumber Town. It seems that when people left. They took mostly their furniture and main personally items. I believe the boxes found in the buildings might have been used for storage? The glass jars were used for putting screws, bolts, nuts ,nails and etc......The buildings in a few more years will start to collapse. But a neat find.
Yea this place isn’t long for this world, floors were very unstable and rotted. Glad we stumbled upon this one to document before it’s gone.
@@PinInTheAtlas I agree.

I'm in magalia, is it nearby
Another awesome adventure with my pin and coffee ☕ cool place to bad they left all that trash
Thanks Raymond. Yes, the rubbish was really bad!
We came upon a small community back in the early 70s the blacksmith shop still had old harness hanging it was in volcano wva even the houses had alot of furniture left we contacted the state since it was on state property
Strange how so much is left behind! Thanks for sharing

Thank you Angie. Glad you enjoyed it
I had no idea those places existed until I caught a clue of where they may be then saw there are several . I won't give away the location but yes very unexpected 😮
Total surprise to us Judi. There were many more buildings we didn’t film and I’m sure there were more we didn’t see.
That wood on walls is Cedar. Very hi dollar, ya don't see that much anymore..
It was gorgeous.
Harry and Ivy Horr had a ranch near Glenburn in Eastern Shasta county. The Horr Ranch sign still stands today. I still giggle when I see it.
There so many communities like this around the country. When a mill, mine, or a factory closes, the people leave. There's places around where I live, where only a single building remains, of what were once thriving little towns. And with time even those buildings will disappear.

I guess. Those houses don’t have long for this world Dave.
I wonder if this was some type of camp? Was this group of buildings pretty near the remains pf the mill? We know that the letter was dated 1985. I don't think nature alone could do that much damage in 38 years, or less. I wonder if a natural disaster, like a hurricane, or flood hit the area.
That was so interesting, and is just so perplexing. Thank you so much, Andrea and Steven.
👏🏻🤔💛☀️
Yes the town site was pretty close to the mill. Not sure about a natural disaster. The mill mysteriously caught fire again in the 80s and never reopened.
Glad you enjoyed it Rhonda.
My guess would be downturn in economy, mill shut down and basically forced the works and residents of this place to leave and start over somewhere else.
What was the name of the mill
Very disturbing.😊. Why everyone left is very disturbing,,maybe they didn’t want to bother with all the garbage or so much to take along. Was there a cemetery near by?
Didn’t see a cemetery Tina. But then again there was so much more hidden in the woods. We spent the best part of the day exploring and didn’t see it all.
@@PinInTheAtlas yes it seemed that way. Very unexplainable
They canned a lot in the old days. Still do even today. That's what the jars were used I think 😂
Thanks!
Thank you Tina. You’re a 🌟
@@PinInTheAtlas yw
I went and looked at some old pictures. The trees there are so big and beautiful. Sad to see how much damage was done and how sad it appears.
Yes it is. There’s a lot of logging in the area now.
Let’s go let’s go adventure 🇺🇸🎉👵🌺✌️🌎💕
And put another pin in the atlas! 😀
Very cool 😎 nice find
Thank you Jerrold. Glad you enjoyed it.
I can't help but wonder what the heck the back story is. It's beyond creepy and very disturbing.
We always wonder too, we love the mystery about it though. Does give you like “The Stand” vibes last people on Earth!
Ohh man... so many treasures we'd love to salvage all over that place.... such a shame it'll all rot away. Damn this "exploring edicate"😂. AWESOME explore guys, this place is incredible! 👏
Also, put a battery in that Camry and grab a screwdriver, it'll start right up!
Yea this place really surprised us. The further into the forest we went the more revealed itself! So many amazing things that were left behind. I know that car was in remarkable shape didn’t see any evidence of critters which was super unusual!
Sasquatch (or Sabe) as First Nations call them in North America, can leave a nasty smell - not unlike rotting meat, fish, garbage and such. Yet it seems strange that they would hole up at all in an abandoned structure. So it's likely a wild animal of some kind ended up perishing, could be easily buried under the dead pine needles.
Don’t think it’s a Sasquatch at least not in this area but you never know!
Sasquatch does stink like crazy. I tried to bathe him last time, but he just got even more mad. I tried….
Absolutely love you two. I’ve been to several of the ghost towns that you have visited in the Idaho and Montana areas. I live in Idaho. I just want to say I truly appreciate the time you spend trying to find as much information as you can on the places you visit. Also, can I say…. I just want to go travel with you. I am a huge ghost town fan. Haven’t even touched on the places I would like to visit. I love the history and the stories and the cemeteries, they tell their own stories. Thanks so much for doing what you do! Get another Pin in the Atlas!! ❤
This place however seems as though it may have a very sad past. Stay safe.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We do our best to research the places we explore. Love history. We can learn so much.
If there’s places that you can recommend and would like us to cover please email us.
Happy New Year and see you on our next adventure.
Not sure how I missed this one. This was a really good explore.
1920s proved to be a golden age for the company. Cheney Brothers was the only factory in the world carrying silk all the way from its raw form to a finished product, and employment rolls peaked at well over 4,500 workers-a figure that represented more than 25% of the population of Manchester. Factory property encompassed more than 175 acres and in 1923, Cheney recorded a record profit of $23 million.
Our lives will be such in a few short years. Life is a vapor in the wind
Very poetic
Thank you for making me feel depressed 😢...
Always sad when you see places like this and wonder what happened to the occupants.
Kind of spooky isn't it. Great video that you have shared with us that watch your channel.
Thank you Edward, so glad you enjoyed this explore. See you next Tuesday for another adventure.
@@PinInTheAtlas Yes ma'am that I will do.
Might be a mill town, log camp, etc.
That’s what we think Beverly. The wood mill isn’t far.
So happy to see that you 2have a channel Luna 🫶🏻🙏
Thank you. We post new content every Tuesday morning. Hope you join us on our adventures.
I use to demolish houses with both equipment and by hand. So much useful lumber there. I would resell lumber that i removed and landfill or burn the rest. You could make a smaller home on that property with what you salvaged. Lots of potential with such a beautiful property. Very sad.
That’s what they did in the old days, repurpose pretty much everything. Unfortunately today we live in a throwaway society. This place could be amazing
@@PinInTheAtlas I sincerely believe that those days are returning as we go thru this period of deglobalization and energy constraints i.e. peak oil. But that's for another discussion.
All the jars are for canning. Living sustainable is canning food before the winter to have on hand all year
Interesting explore as usual, but probably not the best video to watch during lunch! lol I think the main purpose of your church/community building was that of a school. You could see where the blackboards had been removed from the walls. It was common for schools in small communities to serve as community buildings and churches as well. Jars have many uses and some types of what we consider disposable jars today were reused to store canned foods. I think during the pre1960s ... folks were far more "green" than those folks pretending to be "green" today!
Yes looking at it again we did see the chalkboard outlines. And have to absolutely agree everything back in the day had more than one use and they were so much smarter. Unlike this throw away “ultra noble and forward thinking” society forced upon us today
I know the town. I believe it was for sale back in the early 2000's. It is interesting how the people just left the entire town. It is a short drive to nowhere to get there. My friends parents live in the town down the hill.
It always amazes us too. Where did they go and why leave their stuff. We just happened upon the town while searching for the mill.
There’s still lots of logging in the area.
I graduated in 1985, I m 56 now.
Great video. The concrete building with high walls and rails I am assuming was a dry kiln to dry the lumber. Rolling it in on stacks and drying them . A process mills would use in the day. I sure enjoyed watching your video. Good find. Thanks for the history
Oh didn’t think of that. Thanks for the info. Glad you enjoyed our explore.
We post new content every Tuesday. Hope you join us for more adventures.
Looks like above orovile on the way to cascade. I've been there and I knew people who lived there
I realize that you don’t like to reveal locations but what state were you in? You couldn’t find any information about the location? It’s intriguing, such a mystery.
Yep we just stumbled across it looking for something else. It’s in CA
I would have gotten the hell out of these houses, never mind trying to find out what happened. This place is creepy, and definitely scary. I don’t know, some people like adventure! 🤷♀️
It didn’t feel creepy to us. We didn’t have any horrible experiences or feelings. Just the smell of the dead animal.
Exactly very well said.
The glass jars were used for canning and food preparation.
I'm thinking Earthquake!?😮 Flooding?
Quite possibly Kathy. Thanks for commenting.
If there were any copper in this walls could be why the cut the wooden wall. Just a thought.
Hi Lisa. Yes we’ve seen that before. This, we think, was just to take the wood.
Jenni needs to see you guys soon.
Thanks Larry. I spoke with her a couple of days ago. We’ll be swinging by soon.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thank you for going to see Jenni. She is a special young woman and I can see real pain in her eyes with what has happened.
@@larryaguilar3772 having a stalker is unjust and scary. Unfortunately there are people out there who don’t know the boundaries!
@@PinInTheAtlas You have that 100 % correct. I have been with Jenni since she started RUclips. There are a lot of online chatting that she blocked for all our sakes as there were very personal. She is a great person and just needs a bit of face to face comforting which I cannot do as I am on the East coast in Virginia. I so much appreciate you help and many blessings to you. Larry and Joyce.
The burlap bags are called gunny sacks.
Maybe a logging housing. Would be beautiful ! Ohhh yeah.. Just got to it! I was right!
That’s our assumption too Heather.
My great uncle back in the day was killed in a logging accident in Tennessee. Me and my Great aunt were close. But he passed long before I was alive. But my relatives were in logging.
@@heatherfisher9959 sorry to hear that Heather. I guess it was a dangerous job especially back in those days. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting! I recognize butte college and Oroville lake. I’m from Chico and don’t know what this place was. Spent my youth in sierras.
We didn’t know either Terry. Just happened to stumble across it.
New York City would never, ever,be abandoned for this long without being looked at, for sure!!!
New Sub Here:). This is the perfect place to hide bodies . I bet this place was amazing lives back when they lived here!@ this place defnly looks like people came here and destroyed what was once box up and nice and tidy, teenagers and parents do the samething sad but true:( I love how nature is back in de country and take over again that belongs to her.:)I saw this video so i came to see what it is wewll im likeing this content and visual excelent views awesome amazing job. Have a wonderful weekend and be safe and healthy for your next adventure and exploring ? New Friend from NWP, FL Barbara G.
Welcome to our channel Barbara! We love trying to imagine these places before the vandals get to them. Picturing what the community was like and doing our best to be as respectful as possible to their memories. We hope you will continue to enjoy the type of content we put together. Our earlier stuff is a little cringy looking back now, but still fun nonetheless the less. Thank you for your kind words we really appreciate that. We post new content every Tuesday morning. We will see you on our next adventure!
@@PinInTheAtlas Thank you. I will try to keep up
What was the name of the town? Where is it on the map? With the materials there, it could be cleaned up, and maybe a lodge built from the scrap!!!!!! Then, those who have memories of that places would be honored.
We don’t know the name of the town, we just happened upon it.
Your idea sounds nice but unfortunately there are too many people who would vandalise and destroy it.
I was born with the gift. And I see a lot more than others. Want to see but I'm okay at 65 I still live on my legacy. I'm watching and seeing the evil and the unclean of families that have hurt their loved ones. This will be a consequences of the injury. I already know I have already seen the powers of the great spirit.
The Cheney Stud brand of a stud horse imprinted on the ends and faces of Cheney Studs was
recognized throughout the industry as a sign of top quality. The application of a check resistant,
red-colored wax base paint to the end of the studs was originated by the Cheney Lumber
Company, and for many years their product was the only one so identified. Saw-milling at this location began in 1930 when Harry Horr relocated his sawmill to here from Cayton Valley. The sawmill was taken over by the Cheney-Grant Lumber Company in the 1940's. The sawmill remained active until 1978 or 1979, when it was purchased by Louisiana Pacific and closed. Mr. Cheney died on March 18, 1971
Thank you Jim for the information. It was an interesting place to explore. Hope you join us on our other adventures. We post new content every Tuesday.
I have a feeling that people lived in the town after the mill closed is why you are find things from the 80s
I can't help but wonder where you are. I t looks like northern Calif but you both don't relish going back to calif. Gramma Candy
We were in northern Cali. A flying in and out to pop to Sacramento to get some work done on the topper. This we found on route!
Makes you wonder why people find necessary to destroy it all. People have no respect at all even when it was abandoned in 1983. And of course nature did work aswell but like many I wonder what the background is of this village or town. The red cabin looked still great
Totally agree. We think the town was abandoned after the mill closed. Just guessing though.
those are sequoia, so in california?
i'm thinking a budding commune that got nipped in the bud.
Many Cheney workers did not need to commute to their job; they lived on plant propertyCheny Village in company-built homes. Strikingly modern for their time, Cheney houses boasted some of the first indoor plumbing in Manchester and all were powered by the company’s own gas and electric firm.
Thanks for the info Suzanne. Interesting.
Oh come on go in
If you find a place and don’t know why they left. I was wondering if you can go to the nearest library and see about finding information on how abandoned town and find out what happened to them and why they left in the first time and then why they left behind all of their possessions? Thank so very very
The town was in the middle of nowhere but we think its abandonment would be something to do with the closure of the mill.
But a good idea. Thanks for your comment.
You would think that there should be a history of the town/ location. Especially since there was quite the sizeable church and what looked to me to be a post office building on the location. I think many people including myself would be interested in why the sudden abandonment of this place!
The town was a surprise to us, we didn’t know it existed. But we think they left when the mill closed. Just speculation.
For people to abandon so much personal stuff you really need to let your mind be open
Maybe just as simple as pot growers that all went to jail ? Sasquatch?
Or one at a time til there was no reason to stay 🤔
Just founf you and subscribed ❤
The pair of you make me feel like we would be friends if we lived in the same community 😁
so thanks awesome upload 🎉 from western Oregon
Welcome to our channel Molly and thanks for subscribing. We hope you enjoy all of our adventures (although the earlier ones are a little cringey). We post new content every Tuesday and look forward to more of your comments.
The homes are in terrible shape BUT I like the area very much. Gramma Candy
That they are. Not long for this world!
I've always wondered why these little towns are deserted I guess it's my nosy nature
We do too Diane.
Interesting
Them bottles are for nuts and bolts my grand dad did that😊
Hello I'm new to your channel enjoyed the video❤
Welcome Anita. We hope you continue to enjoy our explores. We post new content every Tuesday and look forward to reading your comments. See you on another adventure.
Looks like a deserted church campground,
It kinda does Jeanette.
Try and find the students grade paperwork scores.. You just might find the person..
probably an illegal settlement. it can't be far from stores, based on the building and left items.
We are sure the people who once lived there would work in the nearby mills
I'm sure plenty people be glad move in fix it up but I just found weird the 5 house just left with everything left
We bet it looked great when the people were living there in its heyday. Always strange when so much is left behind.

Almost looks like a setting for a Stephen King movie. The mill closed, and they all just walked away. Their jobs gone, no reason to stay.
That’s what we’re thinking Lesley.
I'd have a hard time not investigating the source of those putrid odors. Who knows, maybe a murder victim was inside. Thanks for the adventure.
We were very curious too, with most of our locations being so remote we always wonder if we will someday come across something like that. Glad you enjoyed the adventure!
It might be a dead body people might not be an animal???
rom 1929 to 1933 the company sold their high school building, gas and electric firms, several schools and recreation buildings, the South Manchester Water Company, the South Manchester Sanitary and Sewer District, and the South Manchester Railroad. Even these measures could not restore company finances, and in 1935 Cheney Brothers applied for reorganization under a new federal bankruptcy law
thanks
It looks creepy for a reason if it could only speak of time past
Totally agree Cindy. Would love to know more about the history of this place.
Guess the mill was mentioned on the map(s) but the 'village' wasn't? Kinda weird how chockablock with stuff some of those houses were. Almost like people got evacuated.
BTW: got plenty of adds during this video and let them all play through, expect for those that were up to over 4 mins! Just saying ;-)
Yes all we seen was the mill site which we almost just turned around, but decided to go for a little walk and we’re pleasantly surprised to find everything else. Thank you for watching the adds! The ending for some reason was totally cut off on our end, have no idea why!
@@PinInTheAtlas Never said that I actually watched the adds ;-P
I like the no frills end. I thought it was some of Stephens creative film editing style. @@PinInTheAtlas
With the looks of the house siding, this community was built back in the mid 40s
Thank you Winston. That makes sense.
Do you think the jars could have been for canning? Just a thought!
Quite possibly Diane.
