  • Welcome to ‪@offroad801‬ In this episode, I'll be highlighting a Ghost Town in Utah - near the Nevada border, called GOLD HILL. Perfect for adventurers, seeking desert beauty and tranquility. The towns glory days are long gone, but remnants of it's former prosperity can still be seen. It's remains are left as memories of the old west. We had no idea what to expect, as there was not (A LOT) of information available. We had another grand adventure in this backcountry expedition - exploring an unknown and golden Ghost Town & lost western mining camp. We hope you enjoy and return next week. We have some additional and very interesting things to share with you all...
    Take care and have a great night!

    Gold Hill seems like it could have a few more secrets than we know of 😉 as a lot of ghost towns I guess. Great video

      @wayalife8239 I think so, too. When it cools down I hope I can make it back and look around a little better. Awesome place. Thanks for watching 👀.

      Thanks, Stacy. Great little ghost town. I keep hearing more about the town. I'll probably have to go back now. 👍 Thanks for watching 👀.

    The game enclosure was built to raise chukar. For those don't know, it's a taste game bird that lives well in desert like areas.
    The deep creeks hold alot of treasures
    Thank you for the videos

      @user-ld5xh8fq1s Ok. I can see that. Thanks. I figured maybe something bigger 🤔. I can't wait until I can get back there. When it's cooler, of course. Thanks again for your support, Raymond.

    Very cool! We're planning on running the Pony Express in the next 6 months and were thinking of staying a night near Gold Hill. This was very helpful and convinced us to spend a night there

      @fossilize_llc Well, you should have a blast. There are lots of interesting places to visit. Try not to go when it's too hot. Some great solitude. 👍

      The fencing is probably put up because there are a lot of mining shafts in that area! Great video I am going to Mt Wilson Ranch but might leave early and stop and visit Gold Hill. Thanks for a great video

      @@rayon3383 It was definitely an animal enclosure. I should have shown it a little better. You'll see it for sure if you make it over there. It's pretty big. Way more than any mine fencing that I've seen. But what a great area for adventure. The town reminds me of The Hills have Eyes 👀. Thanks for watching 👍.

    Those spider webs could have been a scare tactic to keep you from those last few gold nuggets Curtis. 🤔
    Yup, they'd have kept me away too 👀☺️😆.

    Thanks for the video, I watched one where you stayed the night at Skinwalker Ranch. What was the campsite you stayed at? It was in a pretty good forest area, me and my wife are going there in a little over a month. Thanks!

      @BryanWoodDHHS Nice, thanks for watching. Just north of the ranch is Lapoint. And from there is another road that heads north to Paridice reservoir. Beautiful National Forest with lots of places to camp. I hope this helps. If not, let me know.
