I Found An Abandoned Town Unseen For Centuries In The Remote Wilderness
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- Nestled deep within the uncharted corners of the wilderness, a forgotten town lies shrouded in mystery, long abandoned and unseen for centuries. This enigmatic site, hidden from contemporary civilization and ensconced by nature, serves as a poignant reminder of human endeavor, ambition, and, ultimately, the passage of time. The allure of such a town draws adventurers, historians, and curious souls alike, all seeking to unravel the stories that have faded into obscurity.
The town, which remains unnamed, is situated in an isolated region, accessible only by arduous trekking or through meticulously mapped forest paths. Overgrown vegetation and dense trees guard its boundaries, creating an impenetrable natural fortress. The advanced technology and satellite imagery of the modern world haven't been able to fully uncover its secrets due to the rugged terrain and prevalent wild fauna.
The allure of abandoned towns is multifaceted. They whisper haunting tales of life once vibrant and thriving, often marked by dreams of prosperity that ultimately fell to disillusionment. The remote wilderness, with its untouched landscapes, serves as both a protective embrace and a sinister reminder of nature’s relentless reclamation. This is one you don't want to miss!
Thank you and see you on the expedition! #abandonedplaces #abandoned #abandonedhouse #abandonedmines #abandonedmine #explore #adventure
Fascinating mining camp find! One can only but imagine the struggle to bring some of those bigger machinery components with only wagons to haul them in. If one could reclaim this area and build it back up as a remote mountain range camp, you could use a bulldozer to clean up the worst of it, while improving AND maintaining the trail with the dozer. Bringing cargo container cabins in would be nice, but if not by trailer, then by cargo air drop with a helicopter. Basically one only needs clean water to survive on up there, then a few properly dug and contained outhouses. Heat can be wood stoves, but also supplimented by solar panels for added energy sources and lighting. I could see installing a proper perimeter fence of about 15 to 20 feet in height to keep out hostile wildlife while allowing for deep snow depths. But the greenry around there means one could in essence grow gardens, even if raised bed ones including with greenhouses (Alaskan wilderness style).
@cwp1alpha or just leave it, doing that would cause alot damage to the area.it would take alot to fix that road as you only seen 1/16 of the trail.....it's very bad.
This is some great insightful work here, I agree. I like that I’m not thinking alone here. I have spent the better part of a day wondering how habitable this area could truly be amongst the triumph of will.. It would require a few summers non stop work and some headaches but this is doable.
I also came to the conclusion that logistics and winter would be the only trying time truly, outside of being uncomfortable with a few natural events summer would bring and upkeep headaches as well as maintenance of equipment. Water looks viable in a area I didn’t catch on camera and it is exactly as you described..
I always keep an eye out for something like this. Eventually we will do it together as a channel, that’s a promise.
Thank you for sharing love pondering this stuff as much as the adventures we share. I hope to hear from you on the next one, Thank you👍👍👋
until next time friend.
@@MontanaDirtRoadsI would be up there the rest of my life partner…This is the way!
….. only takes $$$ - where is this place, US or CN?
@@johnkarlson8692
Montana somewhere...
"Unseen for centuries" is stretching the imagination a little bit don"t you think?
questionable, however I think personally this is a place that is made straight from the imagination. Don’t you agree? not certain many more or if for centuries something of scope and magnitude like this site/town will ever be created again in the likes of the context we have experienced here..
Thanks for dropping in, hope to hear from you on the next one👍👋
I for one love the fact you don't share your locations. Finding them is half the fun. Many others might not tell you the location but probably I 80% of the time I can figure it out just by studying the backdrop, signs, etc. Cant tell you how many I have marked on my map due to that. Keep doing what your doing. And no, Im not giving away the ones I found. Its called an adventure for a reason.
Rock on! ❤️
Thank you for the kind thoughts, glad to have you here with us on the expedition!
see you on the trail man👍👍👋
Hey brother, I understand keeping mum about location etc. I'm too bloody old to poke around fallen buildings already knowing what's inside. I doubt I'd ever get up to such a place even though I have my old Willys Wagon and years (decades) of off road and on road experience. But as you speak of history and ask me to imagine it... well, I can't really since it's just a random site in the trees of Montana somewhere and nothing more. I've worked various oil fields from Utah, Montana, N. Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas... mining is work. Hard, thankless, dangerous and deadly work. Cold, hot, lonely work, months, years away from family and friends and always looking for better pay. Friend of mine had a great grandfather named Plummer who was sheriff in Bannack MT who got himself hung for trying out a scheme on the wrong side of the law. Thing is, everyone knows this history and for my friend especially, THIS place is significant and meaningful. Enough so, it's a preserved site. Many other places are like that for a lot of us. My great grandpa was a blacksmith and sheriff in Dodge City Kansas in the 1870's and '80's. He decked Wyatt Erp once for not removing his gun in a saloon. But Peter Walter Beamer and Erp became friends after that. And after working on a big windfarm project a few years ago there, the town has become all the more special to me. Even found my gr grandma's boarding house (near Applebees!) So... not telling you what to do. Just pointing out the mining camps are all documented and findable via state sources. A few of us old timers love the scenery and history and KNOW it wasn't really very romantic then or now. But knowing the history a bit more activated the only time machine outside of music and memories I know of. Meanwhile, please stay safe, stay armed, and God bless... oh, and watch out for Bigfoot! 😂
It’s my passion and a honor to keep it alive. History is only one generation away from disappearing. Happy to bring you down memory lane and to share this. It’s important we don’t lose anything for my children as well…
Thank you sir, precious experience to share always safe and will do! Bigfoot hasn’t given himself up but I will keep an eye out for you! 👍👍
THE SMARTEST GUY ON THE MOUNTAIN WAS ARMED
But not too gun savvy. Walking around with the hammer back on a leaver action is stupid.
I'd imagine walking into a mine like that and all of a sudden a grizzly comes charging out at you cause you walked into his den. Or walking around the corner of one of those buildings and brutus is staring you down. Split second to react aint enough time to think about the hammer. To each his own.
Beautiful. Imagine the resourcefulness and skills of the Men who made that town. Must be really hard to build a log cabin from scratch. Respect to those people. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
Agreed, Happy to share.
Thanks👍👋👋
Take your ignition key off that ring , ring of keys toooo heavy, not good to have that weight swinging
Eventually it will ruin your ignition.
@perrysonier4285 have had way more keys than this in my intentions for years and never had a problem. Thanks for pointing that out.only reason I run this small set is they don't make as much noise on the ruff roads
10:54 is a horse drawn scoop, missing the wooden handles, used to dig basement, ponds, leveling ground, whatever. Could be used as a stone boat. I used to have one.
This^! Thank you👍👋👋
Damn it! I have been planning and saving to go investigate this area for 3 years...no need to now, i done seen it on youtube....thanks fella"s. Guess i will go to Hooters instead
haha, Thanks for watching! Happy to share and safe travels buddy👍👋👋
Wow I love these old place’s! Awesome video & find! 👍❤️🤘
Thank you, very precious site here. More than happy to share with you and hope to hear from you on the next adventure!👋
Lot of old towns in Texas if you ever get that way.Many are located on Farm to Market Roads.
All I can say is Awesome!
Thanks buddy, happy to have you along and glad to share the adventure!👍👍👋
You might not see the Bear but the Bear will see you!
More times than not, I have heard several black bears near camp and got a few growls as well as seeing some running through the woods but thankfully never one to curious!
Happy to share, thank you for joining us!👍
Amazing for your video of I Found An Abandoned Town Unseen For Centuries In The Remote Wilderness. I love your video and I thanks for your sharing.🥰
Happy to hear, and a pleasure to share!
Hope today’s treating you well!👍👋
until next time friend.
That wheel barrow was a slusher.
100 + years ago there were no chain saws , those log buildings were hewed, and corners notched all with axes- square bit, broad, and adze. They did have saws of various uses and types. Most all work was done by hand tools, oxen, mules, horses, and steam. It would be good to know what minerals they were mining.
A 3 ft wide vein of quartz containing gold and silver. Trace of copper. This in mentioned at footage of old ball crusher. you are absolutely correct in everything you explained. Thank you 👍👋👋
New subscriber here. Great explore of a neat site with a ton of history. Keep up the great uploads.
welcome, Thank you for the kind words!
Pleasure sharing this on-going adventure and always will. Appreciate the subscribe, goes along way and helps our expedition reach new sites and unique locations along with the lost history that we share along the way!
Hope today’s treating you well and look forward to hearing from you on the next one. Awesome!👍👍👋
Thanks for sharing this great adventure. I'm a Jeep guy but here in the Northeast we don't have anything like this. Maybe someday.
For now, subbed.
Welcome, Thank you. 👋
Nice video and ride. Would have really been something seeing that entire operation set up. If that was a wheel I saw near the front of that boiler, it was probably an early wood burning, steam driven tractor. Probably cleared a trail for that tractor to haul that equipment up there. Then served as a power unit with belts from an idler wheel.
I wouldn't assume any ponds near mines are good water, tho.
Incredible work here, I agree just precious.
It’s great to hear this, a few of your insights I haven’t even considered while still researching this explore I know the community appreciates different perspectives and insights as well. Sometimes people like yourself make the adventure even better!
Steam driven tractor..man that would be awesome to see!! Hmmm…
Thank you for sharing! Hope to hear from you next time and that todays treating you well.👍👋👋
Thank you.
Yeah that could have been used as a dragline but I have seen those being used by horses to dig basements and stuff
This is plausible as well, It could have been used for clearing homestead land and what not. It’s an interesting find, I have seen similarities with other equipment on different adventures/explores but the wood still being intact after all this time threw me off a bit.
Thank you for sharing your insight, Happy to share and bring you along as well!
Thank you👍👋👋
Alright OBJ and @MDR,.... I want exact directions with GPS marks and the like to this awesome trail and mine camp !!! Just kidding 😆😅🤣😂 Some people 🙄 Thanks for taking this old man along and sharing your adventure. .... There was a time for me, but it has passed, I'll just let you do the hard part and just enjoy the video ... Thanks for another awesome share. Take care, stay safe, alert and free !!! Best wishes from southwestern Oregon...⛏⚒⛏
Im also too Old for that. But I know these days do not tell people how to get to these places they will destroy them! RESPECT IS GONE!
@@jwfinley7808 👍👊 Straight up !
Always nice to hear from you OG, maybe someday we will get you on the dusty trail for one more hoorah!
My pleasure buddy, happy to share and glad to have you on the trail with us.. Thanks for the kind words and If I can meet you at the base of the mountain I’ll shoot you cords..
-Always am 👋👋👍
This is the way.
You just got a subscriber you have an exceptional channel, thank you.
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback and genuine community we are building here and I’m glad you’re here. Seriously thanks!
Sharing the adventure and learning from others is such a treasure. Appreciate you!
Also every subscriber or share is a step towards something new and unique sites unseen and lands unconquered..Everyone counts and we will keep marching onwards into the unknown👍👋👋
That guy uses a chain saw like he doesn't know what he's doing.
Positive thoughts and energy brother! @Montanadirtroads is good people. He’s someone you can trust out in no man’s land. Really is!
And yet he cleared the road and lived to tell...
The fact that he has a Stihl is one indication he knows...
@@BrettHoustonTube Stihl is the way. Imagine an electric dewalt or ryobi. Make jokes then😂
@@MountainWestProductions Yeah, they won't let us buy real chainsaws in California. Amazon refuses to ship any gas powered tools here. Just that electric Chinese shit.
Are you serious? Man where’s the testosterone and work ethic going. That’s cringy honestly
Really enjoy your adventures with you. great videos. I wish i did more of this stuff before my muscle condition got worse.
Thank you, Really enjoy sharing and learning somethings as we go as well. Truly my pleasure and just happy to bring some joy to the world!
Sorry to hear this as well man. Setbacks in life are extremely difficult I’ve had many and we all have our own battles.. One thing personally I have learned when life doesn’t go as planned attack it and make it your strength the best you can.
I’m a firm believer things or situations happen for a reason. But understand most of the time you always have a what if in the back of your mind after the “battle”.
If you hold on to the “what if” or “what could be” you will look in the rear view mirror to long and loose sight at what’s in front of you. Life a beautiful ride and I’m just rambling my two-cents but truly happy to have you on board. Thank you and hope your evening is treating you the best it can!
See you on the trail buddy👋
I still believe that was a dredge bucket seeing how there was evidence of dredging down lower on the mountain.
I was looking at that when I rewatched our adventure, I think there’s a good chance the did dredge the tributary.👋👍
awrome video! thank you
you are very welcome, really happy to share the day. Glad to hear from you👋👍
Thanks for the kind words.
WOW what a great video and just lots of history. Thank you and be careful out there.
Thank you couldn’t have done it without you guy! happy to share the journey.
Hope today’s treating you well sir. 👍👋👋
-will do
Older jeeps and wagoneer are the best for being off roads and trails! I owned numerous older wagoneers! They keep on going no matter what!
I do have great respect for Montanadirtroads rig after this as well!👍
Very informative. Thanks!
Thank you for joining us, Hope todays treating you well!👍👋👋
I love all that old tyme equipment rusted gold . That scoup thing is some kind of plow that was pulled behind a horse . I have one in my yard here in the desert .
It’s definitely a decoration with a purpose. Really enjoy it as well, shows the history of the land and represents…
Thank you for tuning in, hope today is treating you well!👍👋👋
Amazing video guys ..keep up the awesome work .
Thank you for the kind words, Happy to share the experience..👍👋👋
Hope to hear from you on the next one.
Safe travels
Wow another beautiful mountain mine the scenery there is stunning. I know I say it every time I comment on your videos what a great video be safe and keep the videos coming.
Thank you Charles, always a pleasure to hear from you.. The channel isn’t the same without your comments and insight thanks for being here since day one!!
Happy to share buddy, look forward to bringing the next adventure right to ya! Thank you!
-Always am.
Come back next time and send a small drone into the mine shaft for footage.
I haven’t thought of that, cheap mini might get the job done and save a lot of headache. Good stuff!
Thanks for coming along and hope to hear from you on the next one!👍👋👋
I lived in the Sierras for many years. always carry a chainsaw to get in and if the wind is blowing maybe to get out!
This is the way! I reckon at some point I need to explore the Sierras as well…👍
That lake is beautiful, what the name of the lake.
.. Good times exploring an old town site .... First one in in the spring ,, doing all the work to open the road ,, come back next week and a party group of dozens will be there trashing the place ...
.. Just abandoned ?? Don't think so ,, been like that for many a decade ...
First building going in to town Would be a saloon and Brothel ,, next large building another saloon and cafe ... first small building was a dollar general store ,, next with second story was Blacksmith shop ,, livery and hardware supplies store .... Back in early days , minors all set up canvas cabin tents ... ... Mine town not city ,, must have worked and killed many mules and horses getting that heavy iron up the to construct the mill .... wood for buildings sourced on site .. ... Would be awesome to do the research of the history of the mine and area ... Back in this era tree felling and cabin building most likely done with axe and crosscut saws and smaller hand saws ..
Absolutely, thank you for dropping in appreciate you and happy you know what this is here. Let me know if you need me to fell some trees before next spring❤️👍
That metal shovel was road making equipment drawn by a horse
Ok, ok this I can see however I cannot imagine building that road.. Horse drawn… Was the times, a fear of engineering there…
Thanks for sharing your insight, hope to hear from you on the next one..👍👋👋
Dang nice. Wonder what would be found with a good metal detector
This is something I have not been doing and it’s the season. I have two metal detectors gathering dust!…
Thank you for tuning in, I hope today is treating you well and looking forward to hearing from you on the next one! Stay tuned.👍👋👋
the music is too loud to hear you two talking and it doesn't go with what you're doing. It be good if you just didn't have music or minimal background
Unfortunate experience, working on this.. A lot of moving parts on the mountain that day. Thank you👍
What was it? I can tell you it was'nt a NAPA Store!
Never heard of it! 😂
Reminds me of Independence Montana. Just before blue lake.
👍👍👋
I mention Independence only because its a popular drive along the Boulder. And there are other youtubers that have done videos on it. Thanks for keeping the lid on your gem. If people wana find it.. get out and explore!!
That was not a wheelbarrow it was a horse-drawn scraper 11:55
@@RolandJohnson-n7c That’s what we figured out a lot of members were explaining. We also thought it was a dredge bucket initially if the would have went after placer gold!
Do you ever see wolves on your ventures?
Coyotes, fox and wolves but wolves are much more keen due to a long history of being pressured by early trappers.
I have been in areas much farther north and saw a few wolves but it happened so fast I couldn’t even capture them on camera. They are extremely fast If they want to hide!!
Thank you for dropping a comment and hope today is treating you well. Happy to share and peak curiosity 👍👋👋
Living quarters will most likely be farthest buildings from mine, work shops, storage closest and chow hall middle if around.
This^* Thank you👍
@@MountainWestProductions you're welcome. And don't let no one give you grief about entering an unstable mine. If it looks sketchy and you feel uncomfortable there is a reason to trust that feeling unless you're extremely knowledgeable in geology and mines.
@@Boga217 Appreciate this buddy! Wise words, thank you
Hope to hear from you on the next one!👍
Don't think they had a chain saw back then
A stunning view does not have your face in it
Well in comparison to the beauty we experienced on this adventure I’d have to say you sir are correct.. Landscape makes me look a little less pretty haha!
Thank you for joining us, happy to share. Hope today is treating you well..👍👋
That's not a shovel. It's called "a slip" and it was pulled by horses to scoop and carry dirt to fill low spots in roads.
almost a horse drawn wheelbarrow combo of the times!
Thanks for the thoughts, hope todays treating you well!👋👍
Wonderful camp,great find. Do everyone who explores a large solid, tell no one where locations are.I can see in the comments the yahoos waiting to screw up this place, then again I don't have to tell you. Thanks for the video...RF
Thank you, Happy to share.
See you on the dusty trail👍👋👋
a store lodge looking over the lake.
❤️
Where is this at and is it able to be visited?
Looks like Colorado. Possibly Idaho. But I would bet Colorado . Tons of old remnant Mine camps in Colorado in the high Elevations. Especially down in the San Juan’s. And Central region. Idaho has its share. Montana does also
👍👋👋
That was not a wheelbarrow it looked like a n old mucker, used to remove and clean waste rock out of the mine drift.
Annoying opening song. You had me for 26 seconds.
@@ScubaSteveCanada Sorry about that, try to keep a different genre a wide mix as it gets stagnant sometimes. Thank you👍👋
👍👍👍 How long is leave this camp??🤔
I’m sorry what’s that?
It’s very old takes a long time to get there! 👍👋👋

Where is it? 👍☮️🌞🌲🪨🥾
Easier to hear you if you're not competing with the music
Working on it, a lot of moving parts on the mountain that day. Thank you👍👋
can you tell me the name of the mine and where it is at? nice video
terry appreciate the interest and totally understand the curiosity..not a bad thing exactly what lead me here matter of fact. I am not talking down to you or trying to be upsetting or rude, I promise you.
A lot of people have asked me and it’s not necessarily my viewers and great community we have that makes me say no. it’s a certain group I have seen and heard of that shows zero respect or understanding of the lives, history, land and fine gentleman before us that dedicated years, blood and sweat to triumph and provide for themselves/family and community. Certain folks don’t or care that leads to destruction.
I apologize but I could be offered cash, goods anything of the sorts and I still wouldn’t allow myself to give this up. If an explorer is on the right path and finds it he/she found it for the right reasons. If by mouth and no effort it isn’t appreciated correctly by some buddy. Thank you for your interest and I fully understand!👋👍👍
Slip scoop.
Thank you! Mule drawn I’m assuming, amazing infrastructure those old timers set up…To be a fly on a wall there, man….
Thanks👍
What a rad trail. Wanna get my bronco back in here. Where are you guys?
I wish I could tell you, I love to see a bronco conquer this route…The trails a nugget brother..I apologize but I can’t say although we are in Montana.
Got to respect the adventure and history/land..Don’t know who could read this and make poor use out of the area. (Not you in particular at all)
I'd love to say but too often anymore places get blasted on the socials and then promptly destroyed. We do this to try and keep these areas open and to prevent them from being ruined.sorry.
@@MontanaDirtRoads Then quit making videos and blasting it on socials yourself...
@jakboling difference from making a video for entertainment and blasting a location of the video.if you have hard time with this construct I suggest you try picking up knitting.
I know it’s a precious site guys and I hate to have a tirade on the internet about this..
My apologies @jakboling, Please try to treat each other respectfully and just not we all have our passions interests Etc.. Let’s share them and appreciate as is.
It’s an unfortunate world we live in and I wish everyone had the same appreciation for things we all enjoy on this channel but sometimes it’s just the opposite and that’s the whole root of this argument. Rock on my fellers👍
