Thanks Bob. Wow that’s a really old video. We hadn’t long left Cali! Hope you keep enjoying our content. Remember, we post every Tuesday 7am PST. See you on Tuesday.
Thank you Steve and Andrea💚 I bought an off grid property 12 miles from Oatman highway & I 40. It was great to hear the history of Olive Oatman and her family and to see this area I never knew existed🤗 I have a cute short video of Oatman on my little channel when I visited there a year ago😃 Beautiful relaxing desert mountain town🏜
Thank you so much Lisa we are thrilled you enjoyed this video. It’s one of our early ones. Lucky you it’s a very nice area! We have been to Oatman many times and do have a video coming out on it as well! Would love to check out your cute video.
The Yavapia (?) according to the "Journals of Crook; were like the Navahoe an off shoot of the Apache. Thats why there is so much confusion. Another great pin video! Used to explore quite a bit also.
Thank you for the information Richard. Are there some really interesting places you could share for us to visit and explore in the near future if you don't mind?
Yep! Camp Thurman,south and east of Searchlight,Nv..Cool drive down to it. Used to take people down there and explore. Old mining camp. If you see the large antena (?) on the east side of 95 going south out of Searchlight,turn there and follow that road. When the road curves go straight. You'll go down a wash with high steep cliffs on both sides. Beautiful country ,but dry. Its called Lorance station road (?) just north of Cal-nev-ari.Head east and Enjoy! I made it in a '78 Cadillac,slowly. The old bar and store has a hole dug out behind it for cooler storage,
@@richardbeee Thank you that sounds amazing. We plan on being back in Nevada soon and will definitely check this place out! If you think of any more please email them to us at info4pinintheatlas@gmail.com.
@@PinInTheAtlas Have one real good one up grapevine canyon on Spirit mountain. Where the native Americans danced and slept ;with a natural spring.Camped out up there. Really good cool spring.Will try to get you on mail.
@@richardbeee That sounds incredible! Looking forward to that email. We like to keep these more precious sites secretive to help preserve them for future explorers!
Coming from an Apache, they used to take the women or young girls and make them servants. That area was too far west for the Chiricahua Apache, that's what I am, but there were renegade Apaches that had no boundaries.
We are traveling family of 5 who have been traveling for 4 years. We are stationary 6 months at time in Texas at our homebase with our oldest daughter and her family on their family cattle ranch. We come to y'all through Wonderhussy y'all did a tour of your truck. While we were in Arizona we went to Oatman Arizona. We learned about this horrific event in Oatman. We have done some research for a homeschooling history assignment. Thank y'all for sharing this place with us. Looking forward to watching y'all's channel. Lisa
Wow, you guys have been traveling for 4 years? May need to pick your brains on how you do it and any recommendations. The story of Olive and the Oatman's is a tragic one. It was really eerie being at the massacre site, but so glad we ventured out there. It made the story more complete after visiting the ghost town of Oatman. You and your family may enjoy our travel blog - pinintheatlas.com. We have lots more explores, with tons of pics and historical facts. We did do a blog on Oatman.
i just posted a video showing footage of the massacre site by air and also on the ground. I filmed trails the Oatman's were on prior to the attack. Larson Adventures Oatman Massacre. Message me there.
Hi Hannah, we have delved into this a lot and there are fanatics on both sides of the fence about lowering tire pressures. We do it when it is extra rocky because the tire deforms more over objects to help prevent most punctures. Ronny Dahl from Four Wheeling Australia uses a balloon as an example, when it's fully inflated it pops very easy. When deflated its harder to puncture as the surface area deforms around the object. Hope that makes sense Hannah, Ronny is our go-to off road expert so we listen to his advice.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thank you so much for letting me know, Steven and Andrea! My husband and I need more tips like yours for when we start off roading again in the near future. This advice is very helpful. Thank you and please be safe and stay hydrated out there. Loving all of your adventures 😊.
I live in NM where the atomic bomb was detonated, Billy the Kid roamed, and I grew up with Cochise, Naiche and Geronimo's great grandkids. My mother was a Chiricahua Apache US prisoner of war born in captivity in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma in 1912. She was the great granddaughter of Chiricahua Chief's Victorio and Mangas Coloradas. Her paternal grandfather was US Chiricahua Apache scout Charles Martine Sr who along with his cousin scout Kayitah and Lt. Charles Gatewood went to Mexico in 1886 and persuaded Geronimo and Naiche to surrender for the last time. The Chiricahua Apache were held as prisoner of war in Florida, Alabama and finally Ft Sill where some Chiricahua Apache stayed, most moved to Mescalero, NM in 1913.

I used the geocaching map to help find the location and the two graves that are in the valley , It was a 12 min walk down to the graves , a little harder coming back up
Apparently they are not the graves just a memorial. The graves are still at the massacre site Not sure where though. It’s been over 150 years so could have been washed away or found by animals. Glad you found it. Pretty amazing eh?
Great facts! My brother lives in Mojave, AZ. near Oatman. I believe more of what you say that Olive's statements were more true than historians as she was the one who lived the experience! Very sad event, indeed...
@@victorcontreras3368 very sad Victor. A brave girl. Glad you enjoyed the pin. Hope you continue to enjoy our explores. We post new content every Tuesday
It was way out in the middle of nowhere. Surprised we found it. We love Oatman and have been there several times. Before our YoTube days. We have written a blog on it if you are interested. www.pinintheatlas.com. Lots on Route 66 too. Glad you enjoyed our explore.

I'm surprised that after all these years, the graves remake ("remain" not "remake") unvandalised in any way. That's good as I hate it when graves are desecrated. What's this custom of leaving coins on graves? I mean, what purpose does it serve?
This site is very difficult to find plus there is nothing else around unless you are specifically looking for the grave. Totally agree about the vandals. We can never understand their mentality.
Stay tuned, Arleen. We have filmed Oatman - coming in 2022. And we love the donkeys. You maybe interested in reading our blog (lots of pics) pinintheatlas.com/travel-blogs/oatman-ghost-town/
Whoops yeah, that should be 1851, good catch. We have watched this so many times during editing and completely missed that one! Thank you for letting us know.
@@PinInTheAtlas hey dont apoogize, they aare being assholes, they knew exactly what you meant.peop;e like thqat are poison and love to nit pick peopole cause their lives are fucning miserable\
It was brought to our attention that at one point that there is a slip of the tongue with the date. It should be 1851, NOT 1951.
Now that was a very educational video. I loved it. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work and you guys be safe.

Thank you for this video, Steve and Andrea! I was wondering why you had to lower your tires if you already have a 4-wheel drive pickup.

@@hannahodell9779 Thank you Hannah, and we do suggest checking out Ronny Dahl's Channel for more tips, he is funny informative and to the point.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thank you both! Will do 😊.
The Yavapai Apaches were the killers.
They were the ones that massacred the Oatman family and kidnapped Olive Oatman and her sister.
I live in NM where the atomic bomb was detonated, Billy the Kid roamed, and I grew up with Cochise, Naiche and Geronimo's great grandkids. My mother was a Chiricahua Apache US prisoner of war born in captivity in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma in 1912. She was the great granddaughter of Chiricahua Chief's Victorio and Mangas Coloradas.

Sorry I meant my grandmother not mother, her name was Evelyn Martine.
What a wonderful piece of history. You must have some amazing stories. Thank you so much for sharing.
Interesting explore. Narrated very well.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed this one.

Me & my family drove there from Yuma had a grate day exploring
Did you find the site?
I used the geocaching map to help find the location and the two graves that are in the valley , It was a 12 min walk down to the graves , a little harder coming back up

The church should have more info.
I believe her! Gramma Candy
Olivia is not a sad story. This day I found the unbelievable story.
It's about who wrote what down! Right !😃🤗🤗
You are so right, Allen. Things can easily get distorted through time.
Oatman as the burros that come and go thru town.
Stay tuned, Arleen. We have filmed Oatman - coming in 2022. And we love the donkeys. You maybe interested in reading our blog (lots of pics)

Horrendous, unless you compare it to what happened to the Natives.. 🙄
Sad on both accounts.
No, it’s still horrendous!
Area is farm land ? What do they grow? Ricks?
lol
Porque la historia tan facinante de la familia Oatman no está en Netflix?
1951?
Whoops yeah, that should be 1851, good catch. We have watched this so many times during editing and completely missed that one! Thank you for letting us know.
@@PinInTheAtlas hey dont apoogize, they aare being assholes, they knew exactly what you meant.peop;e like thqat are poison and love to nit pick peopole cause their lives are fucning miserable\
IN 1951?
Yes that was a slip of the tongue we missed that one when we were recording and editing!
ntt not nce of you,. you know damn wel they meant 1851 your a loser and leave now
i am more sad about all the indians who were murdered by white peaple who did not own the land.
Valid point
What about the Indians who murdered, enslaved, neighboring tribes?
No “white people” to blame, what then?
LOL, 1951…,
Slip of the tongue, obviously!
