When you’re at Stella’s cabin it would behoove you to watch your “P’s” & “Q’s”. The door is always open… If I go there I’ll leave a full jug of water in the shade, and a fresh roll of paper in the outer house…
Great cabin. I agree with you about otherworldly and strange things to see in Death Valley. In my opinion I like the jeep much better than the motorcycle. Death Valley and other areas and regions similar to it are quiet, peaceful and full of hidden wildlife. The motorcycle's engine just shocks and surprises the Desert inhabitants. It cancels all that peace, quiet and serenity out.
@Alan Solomon Glad that you enjoyed the music, Alan. That is me playing both rhythm and lead guitar. I played in bar bands in Minneapolis from 1977 to 1997. Had a lot of fun and a lot of late nights. Thanks for the comment!👍🎸😄
That cabin in the desert is amazing! What a unique and isolated place. It's so cool to see people respecting it and taking care of it. You and Julie should stay there some time . That ride through the spectacular desert scenery was great too.
Hello Tom and Julie this is quite the adventure nice to see you found a usable preserved cabin.Love the remote areas you get to and your research is top notch you 2 handled that bike very well.Speed on a trail does not matter look at what you see is what counts ⛏️🤔🏆
Hello Case. Yes, it is nice to see a well taken care of cabin. There are a few out there. Glad that you enjoyed seeing the area. I get a hard time from some about going slow on the bike, but that's okay. I'm not in a hurry. I've been riding for 50 years on five different motorcycles. Thanks for the nice comment!👍😊
Just to let you know was watching DEATH VALLEY days on TV and they were talking about different names of mines so I looked them up and your program popped up glad i found it .p.s.Nice to see the old mine names came up even from long ago ⛏️🤔
Thanks so much for watching, Warren. These are our favorite types of comments to receive and a big reason why we take the time to make these videos. We are so glad that you enjoyed watching our trip! Take care.
You sure find some good places to explore 🤔 I loved the old cabin that been kept in very good shape, shame the one mine has a big gate on it would have been good to explore it you both be safe out there 😀
The cabin is in very good shape. I was disappointed that the mine was gated, too. It looked like it would have been a fun one. Thanks for the comment, Ronnie!
The fellows did a great job restoring the old cabin. It is a testament to the fact that people who trash things are too lazy to go very far. Could you tell if the water setup they had was operational. Julie has a good sense of humor also. "There goes my ride" Hahahaha. Thanks for sharing this cool place.
It looked like there was some sort of running water setup at one time, and even the passive solar on the roof, but I would be surprised if it is in working order now. I wonder what would happen to Julie's sense of humor if I would have kept going for a mile or two. Thanks for the comment, P-Daz!
I have really enjoyed the recent uptick in new videos!! On the same day that you started to post new ones, I left my home in Washington to go on some new adventures of my own in the South, especially in Georgia. I finally have caught up with your videos (for now). Thanks for sharing!!
oh you're kidding me// i have looked at that particular dualsport so many times still not sure my little truck would carry it, would love to own one// so cool you got one... looks like a fantastic day, that second mine was extra weird and love the crazy landscape ...Great Video
We've had the TDub for a bit over 1 year and have kind of a love/hate relationship with it. It is fine to haul on the hitch rack on the Saturn Vue, which has a 350# tongue weight limit, so that is nice. Riding two up can be a pain, depending on the terrain, and I guess this is our main problem with it which is not the bike's fault. It is definitely not a road bike as it's pretty slow. It has been dependable and very easy on fuel on the plus side. The cabin and hills around it are pretty cool. Thanks for the comment, Thorn!
Gloves and long trousers for Julie but then again, on a bike, maybe just as well. Always amazed when you come across an old deserted cabin in the middle of nowhere, with all the gear still there but great to see it had not been trashed indeed. Nice to get into the cool of a cave but then again, I would be a bit worried what else may also be hiding away from the sun in there. Nice place to get the bikes out, cheers Alan
Long pants keeps you from getting burned by the engine heat or scratched from the brush. The cabin is in good shape and I hope it stays that way. We've been doing a lot of mine exploring lately and have been seeing what we believe to be lion scat inside several of them. Not looking forward to meeting up with a mountain lion, but then again somethings got to get you. :) Thanks for watching, Alan.
Other worldly is right!...a great place to visit, but you know the rest! Must have been a lonely existence...three cheers for the TDub...cheers!...woods
You're right, a nice place to visit. It would be fun to spend a night in the old cabin just for the heck of it. I'm sure it was lonely for the miners...just themselves and all their gold. The TDub is fun as long as we keep it upright. Thanks, woods!
Talk about getting away from it all... Very nice of who ever is taking car of the place to allow its use. Hope some one does not abuse it. A side by side would be a more comfortable ride but the cost as much as a small car. Great ride!
A lot of times these miners worked in some pretty remote locations. The little cabin is great and it would be fun to stay there sometime. Riding the motorcycle makes things a lot more challenging than a side by side. Thanks for watching, Max.
Yes, definitely a bit otherworldly. That must be some kind of salt or borax, which is basically salt, at the mine with those core samples. I can't resist teasing Julie once in a while. Thanks, George!
This is the first cabin I ever found in Death Valley. I saw it in a You Tube video and the content creator rattled off a few road names as they drove towards it. Now with improvements to Google Earth, Gaia, reverse image search, etc, it's easy to find almost anything. Getting to that almost anything ain't always easy though, that's why we need channels like this. :)
Hi Doug. It's great that you have been here. I try to keep the locations in my videos private, especially if there is anything worth taking. Thanks for the comment!
@@TomandJulieMineExploring Keep it up, you guys are fantastic. I never share locations either. Some channels have more clues than others, but all the good ones make it hard for the vandals. I enjoy the online sleuthing almost as much as going to a site. I very rarely enter mines so I prefer to watch your channel and see what’s inside.
@doug6885 Haha, it's a lot safer that way. Being in the mines is very unhealthy because of the dust, and it's obviously dangerous. I hear from several others who like to track us by sleuthing through Google maps using clues seen in our videos.😄
@@TomandJulieMineExploring Your videos don't have many clues. Everyone's "favorite" former model has the most, some of the other mine channels have a lot or at least enough. And some locations just don't lend themselves to being easily found. I like heavy equipment, cabins, old buildings, places that really give my Jeeps a workout. But even if a mine has a lot of old equipment inside, it's still not my thing. I did ride an ore cart in Panamint City, but my son was with me. Or I'll go in a short distance to get a shot looking out, but that's about it. There are people like you guys far better trained to do the below ground stuff. I'll watch from home. :)
Hi Ralph. We don't leave any notes in the Jeep. We do try to let someone know where we are going and when we expect o return. Thanks for the question!👍🎆🇺🇲
these are nice places you guys go to and i'm glad you share them.i have a 2000 4wd escalade do you think it would make it to most of the places you guys go?
Our old '62 CJ5 Willys is at home with a newly rebuilt engine. Our '94 YJ is right in front of me. Just put in a new clutch master cylinder today. Thanks for asking, Jon.👍😄
Riding two up is never ideal. With that in mind, we did ride two up, or double, and got around pretty good. With the mine exploring, we couldn't carry all that we needed comfortably on the TDub. So I would say it had enough power to do some casual to moderate off-roading. Hope that helps, Tony!👍🏍
It is amazing to see the boulders and other things that have been moved around in the washes from a big rain. Like you said it doesn't happen often, but, it will eventually. Thanks for the comment, Mark!
@@TomandJulieMineExploring .... look at 4.28 on the left of the cabin there are (2) crosses and what appears to be something of a small shrine .... fake grass.... check it out Tom .... :) btw.... THANK YOU for the video.... I love seeing all these travel videos from all sorts of very old and deserted places...... You should come to Idaho....

@@johnhenryholiday4964 Oh yes, now I remember seeing that. I honestly don't remember why I don't mention them in the video. I could look through my raw footage tomorrow and see if I took a closer shot of that area. Doc, is that you with a new channel?
@@TomandJulieMineExploring .... Its no big deal.... I was just curious.... I do love the video .... I love history.... seeing who lived there, their lives, their struggles just to make ends meet.... those graves could be just symbolic as well.... (no one is buried there)
@@johnhenryholiday4964 I'll look later today to see if I have a shot of the graves. There must be a reason I don't show them in the video. When I responded to your comment last night the part about Custer, Idaho and the boot hills didn’t come up for some reason. That’s pretty much straight east of us here in Central Oregon. I've been all around that area on the major roads but never off the beaten path. Sounds interesting.
I miss going to that cabin me and my dad use to go with his buddies . I can’t remember which one either bob or ward was one of my dads buddies either grandfather or stepfather can’t really remember . I have been trying to find this cabin in google maps but cannot locate it for the life of me . Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Secret cabin indeed. it's definitely off the grid. the road there SUCKS in a truck. wash board. I have a true secret cabin to go see, when you get back down here, we gunna go see it together. Its about a 5 mile hike, but i hear its really neat.

Yes. I did hear two guitars. Sounds great. I enjoyed hearing it. Thanks
Another good one, Tom! I chuckled at the end when you went cruising past Julie on the motorcycle and she murmured, “There goes my ride.“
Yeah, she's kind of funny. Thanks for watching!

Have camped there many times! Camp-clean up, repair anything needed and leave it better then before!

The cabin is pretty cool for sure. Some of the things we have seen that have been done by miners are unbelievable. Thanks for watching.
Thanks I enjoyed this little trip, it would be painful for me now days, but thanks to you two I can enjoy it vicariously....

Great vid! I bought a sheepskin for my Tdub a few days ago and loving it. It should pair very nicely with a Seat Concepts seat👍🏼

3:00 ~ I was waiting for a guy using a walker to pass our ass'us up.
He already passed us. We were just chilling and enjoying the scenery. Anything else?

I read that vehicles have to be licensed there so a motorcycle or jeep. Here in Colorado OHVs are used a lot
A question just to soothe a curiosity itch. Do you guys ride double on the T-dub? If so, does it feel like it has enough power?
Riding two up is never ideal. With that in mind, we did ride two up, or double, and got around pretty good. With the mine exploring, we couldn't carry all that we needed comfortably on the TDub. So I would say it had enough power to do some casual to moderate off-roading. Hope that helps, Tony!👍🏍
I like your videos.i got 2 questions.is it dangerous to explore mines and caves? make some Area51 videos?
I’ll do my best to give you an answer.
Yes it can be dangerous for some, and fun for others…
Area 51 is “off limits”
Church is “on limits”
Is this the cabin known as the Geologist’s Cabin near Butte Valley and Anvil Spring?
No, this is not the Geologist's Cabin. This is known as Bob and Ward's Cabin. There is quite a bit of information out there on it.😄
3:30 - Just as the look of a gully wash..would not occur that often but when it does God help you.
It is amazing to see the boulders and other things that have been moved around in the washes from a big rain. Like you said it doesn't happen often, but, it will eventually. Thanks for the comment, Mark!
