Ever since Sarah (WonderHussey) interviewed you both on her channel, I went and checked out your offerings. I was so impressed, I have been binge watching from your first video. I am from Adelaide, South Australia and have been amazed at the chemistry you both share on camera....congratulations to you both and keep up the awesome presentations. Being a disabled person, you give me a guided tour of what is out there in your part of the world, so thank you both.
That is so very kind of you Mal, Andrea has spent time in Adelaide in the Borossa Valley fruit picking. We do hope to get over to your neck of the woods some day for some explores. We are so very humbled and honoured that you are able to come along with us on our adventures, we have plenty more to come.
The amazing part of all these items is that they had to haul it up there with the not so modern machinery, even water to do the concrete so the determination must have been high to carry on mining. I have to thank Wonder Hussey who pointed me to your channel and I am enjoying it and have been catching up with earlier uploads, seems funny listening to that English accent looking at the fantastic scenery and looking at what man hauled into the depth's to try and live and scrape out a living some hit it big more did not, so thankyou for that and now I must tickle google into giving the info on items from this video, as being laid up I have to keep the old grey cells lubricated somehow, just my luck lockdown is done and I am stuck indoors.

The outtake of the epilogue was so funny Steven being so somber, so serious and professional, and Andrea with her hearty laugh was unexpected Steven looks at her like what the hell!, you guys are funny
Love the small details such as the difference between nails in the 1800's vs the 1900's! For a knucklehead like me it helps in connecting the dots! And what is really attractive about you both is IF per chance you do not know what you are showing us, you have no problem in asking your Fans to "Help" in the comment section! This channel is entertaining AND humbling as well! I did love that quote on the wall..."Please Enjoy...Don't Destroy" AMEN! What has always amazed me about these desolate locations is how the people who came and built had to indeed lug a ton of supplies, not to mention the basics such as food, water, and living accessories, and tools! Mind boggling the effort in doing this, not to mention the logistics of planning AND raising the funds to get said supplies and pay the people to come and set it all up! A REAL TREAT when I see Tonto pull up and the door opens for me to get in and come along! Thank you Steve and Andrea! Cheers From Ohio
It is comments like this, that really make us take a step back, and be so thankful and overwhelmed by the support we are getting. Thank you so much for your kindness, and we are so pleased you are enjoying our content.
Amazing that cabin is so well preserved, and even cared for. And what stunning scenery too! I don’t suppose there was a visitor’s book? It would be worth leaving something like a school exercise book and (attached) pen there, for people to write in.
We do often find “visitor” books which we sign and normally leave one of our business cards Lawrie. The volunteers who maintain the cabins leave them. They do amazing work.
I love watching and listening to you both. You're so thorough and interesting... and throw in some facts I didn't know about, such as the nail heads' shapes. I think I could spend a whole day in that stone cabin. What an amazing place. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 👏🌞😊💛
Thank you so much, Rhonda. Being in these places and letting it soak into all five senses is something really special that adds to the whole experience. We do spend a long time just taking it all in.
OMG! Each of your adventure videos are better than the last. I truly enjoy traveling with you guys. I'll never get the opportunity to go and experience what you two are, and I thank you for sharing your travels. God speed and CHEERS!
We do try as much as possible to find historical photos of these places. The problem we alway find is the reuse of the same photo with a different town name or there simply isn't. We know there would be some in archives somewhere, we are just limited on resources most of the time. Glad you enjoyed this one Roy!
New subscriber.Really like the interaction between the two of you.So happy your sensitive in keeping these historical features out of the mainstream.Thanks🌟
Thank you for subscribing, Brooke. We sincerely hope you enjoy our other adventures. Unfortunately, due to peoples lack of respect of these sites, we don't give out locations, unless they are very well known.
Great find you guys. Loved the bar. I would have liked some whiskey. The cabin was amazing. So good to see vandals have made it there. See you next time you guys stay safe.
Thanks Steve. It’s such a shame that we feel we need to keep these locations quiet. We do our best to document with some history without giving them away.
Started out Freight Train Riding. Directions From LA. Catch out on Freight at Iron Bridge west of the iron plate covering of the hidden freight yard hot springs Colton , Ca. Iron Bridge North, beautiful scenic tour, many places to jump off at. Top of Cascades, south and west, outside of Eugene, Skyline trail towards Diamond, be sure to go during the summer rain season, All of a sudden there it is, the Lost Mine, then you realize, so are you. That useless metal again, gold. I love it!!
Hi Guys, I love the Arizona desert with it's enormous variety of plants , especially the Saguaro Cactus. It's so diverse around that stamp mill area and as for the wind, closed captioning handles that! The wind hot or not, is a blessing when temperatures soar. That was one serious operation, a lot of expensive building, I wonder of there are any old photos of that operation? Cheers. Rik
We were told about the mine once we were at the cabin and didn't have time to do a lot of research into old photos between our adventures. We are working on finding more old photos for our future explores though.
G’day folks. Love this vid. Am a real fan of American history and the two of you sure know your stuff. Love it. Your content is always on point too. So well done. I agree. Cabin’s that are still in great condition like this one should be looked after. The weather sure looks toasty today. Drink plenty of water. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints.(Ha) That’s my bushwalking philosophy. Beautiful landscapes too. Andrea knows her research. Your production values are dope. Super cool. Steve your camera skills are great mate. More please.(Ha) See ya.👍🇦🇺🤪😁🌹❤️

When was this video taken? My wife and I found this little gem in January 2021, and the picnic bench wasn't there at that time. I like the way you covered up the picture in the trophy as to not show the topless girl.
Hello Steven and Andrea. I see that you have made your way back to Arizona my husband would like to say hello as well for I told you were back here in Arizona. I did look to see where the Rock cabin is on my google app my husband and have not been to that area when we are exploring we like the high desert areas of Arizona like Jerome The Senator highway which is an old stage coach trail it is long ride from either way from Prescott down to the little town of Crown King down to Bumble bee those kind of areas etc. Be safe while traveling thru because of all the fires going on right now
The drill maybe could be auger? Nice stone cabin. It's like you could live in it fix the flooring and put in insulation were roof is. I'm just talking hypothetically only.
The really old mill foundations I have been to are rock walls. From the 1870s and 80s. The mill there is newer than that probably. That mine the Mccracken very high grade silver ore.
@@PinInTheAtlas I have a flashlight and headlamp obsession lol so I'm always looking for good reasonable priced products. My new favorite headlamps are made by protec and are sold at Academy sports also They have rechargeable batteries so no more expensive double a and triple a's lol I have 2 different styles and both were half the price of a black diamond
Believe i know where your at. The names gave it away. Don't want to make it easy on any one either. However it is mentioned in a book. The only hint i'll give. Mentioned in a few books, only one of which i have. Great bar! Gorgeous bartender:) Super video! Just a wonderful play on old memories. Thanks. Will have to get into my book and see what that piece was. Think i know but not saying yet. P.S. Your getting closer to my place.:)
This particular video was filmed back in the second week of March I believe. In fact we have a few more in this are coming out soon. When we get back over to this area we will have to pop in and say hello!
@@PinInTheAtlas I figured by the clothes on your back. You wouldn't be hiking around dressed like that around here now. I figure your on your way further north. Cool days and nights. I inherited 320 acres in Montana a few years back and have never been there. Have thought about it this year.
@UCEye2nTTPZ13TYX1axHtSYw Where ever you are, what ever your doing, pretty sure it'll be awesome when you get done. You guys/gals (not usually political correct). Be safe and the sun always be at your back.
I live not tooooo far from McCracken, the first time I went there would of been in the mid 1980s unfortunately alot of the structures have disappeared now but still a neet place
Volunteers do come up and keep the cabin in shape. But I would imagine that because all the windows have now been boarded up and the door kept closed to stop animals and the wind, the whole cabin was pretty dust free.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thanks. I've been exploring the West since the early 1950's, but mainly the Mojave Desert. Born in New Mexico, grew up in southern Calif.
@@PinInTheAtlas when I was a kid my uncle took me in an old cabin to get some hay bales. He pulled up a floor plank so I could see a diamondback. The view was like a scene from an Indiana Jones film.
Hi Mike. No we haven't, it is going to take us some time to save up enough to purchase one, but we will dream about it everyday until it is on Tonto. Plus, we will definitely be doing a video on it.
Hi Chris, we don't give out coordinates to help protect these sites. Hope you understand, but there is information online we found that pointed us in the right direction.
@@PinInTheAtlas As both a historian and a history preservationist, I have often run across what appears to be a grave site, but unmarked. In many of those towns, a lot of murders took place; and bodies were not always taken to an undertaker and buried in a cemetery. You're 5 miles from town, you kill someone and you did a shallow grave.
@@donniekadventures432 That is very true, we do often have conversations on this topic when we go to these paces and think there must have been a lot more deaths and people buried all over the place. Thank you so much for the insight!
Thanks for not pin pointing out exact names or locations of out desert treasures... If truly an explorer they can research! In old days prospectors purposely give bad locations in magazine and rock hounding articles to keep scavengers and claim jumpers out.
That is how we look at it as well. Once you've done the research and actually find it, the rewarding feeling adds to how special these places really are.

Either horses or mules were used f course.
Love the rock cabin! I'm so glad that its being maintained! So much history there! Thank you for sharing!
We agree Don. That cabin is amazing and it is so refreshing to see people taking care of it.
I would have hated being the guy pouring all that cement! What a logistical nightmare that must have been! Another great adventure!
I know, they really worked their fingers to the bone. Have the upmost respect for that work ethic!
That concrete was probably mixed right there in small batches. In a wheelbarrow... hundreds of mixes...you can see the "cold joints" everywhere
I believe they call that well stocked cabin a volunteer cabin where people can stay and leave it better than how they found it.
The outtake of the epilogue was so funny Steven being so somber, so serious and professional, and Andrea with her hearty laugh was unexpected Steven looks at her like what the hell!, you guys are funny
