I've lived here for 24 years. I am in love with the mountain, I've explored this mountain range for many years. The gold could be anywhere... So many unmarked caves and secrets I know
Lived there for 7+ years in the late 80s-early 90s and absolutely fell in love with it. The mountains, the desert, the weather, the culture, the people and the food! I see video retrospectives like this and I look back fondly on this beautiful city and the time I spent there.
I am El Paso 08/04/2019 by Gerardo Molinar I am in the corner of this great State of Texas surrounded by natural Beauty, I am known as El Paso Del Norte, El Chuco and The Sun City. I am also called the Twin sister of Juarez, Mx. across the border, We have many things in common but between us she is a little older. I am inhabited by friendly loving people of different ethnicities, I am over 100 yrs. old created in 1850 and a city rich in history. I have been a witness to the revolt against the Spaniards by the Tiguas, I witnessed the fighting during the Mx. Revolution for Juarez, Chihuhua. I was a witness to the many gun fights by some well known gunmen, A shootout with Marshall D.Stoudenmire and killing of John Wesley Hardin. I have had a violent past to say the least but a Peaceful city was created, Home of ASARCO refinery of copper and The Tx. School of Mines now UTEP. I have had songs written about me and I have been in several movies, Home of the Tony Lama boot Co. and the Coors Beer Brewery. I see many people that pass thru me to reach the American Dream, Many have achieved it but I will tell you it's not as easy as it seems. I may be old but still growing with a population that's full of Diversity, I am full of people who are friendly and Loving I am El Paso, The Sun City.
I used to live there. Ol' Jesus used to love me. But now I live in Chicago. The Mexican food sucks I miss El Paso. Ol' Jesus. He no love Chicago. And I no blame him.
I wouldnt want to have been born in any other city in the world. A place i've always felt connected with on not just a personal level, but a spiritual one. Maybe an old soul, i dont know. but there's always been something special about El Paso that i've always felt since I was a kid. Such a beautiful place.
My husband was stationed at Bliss from 2010-2013. We lived on Hero Ave. One day after a crazy heavy rain my son was sitting on the curbs with his feet in the water. Something heavy hit his foot he reached down and picked up a real gold nugget worth 1600.00. How crazy is that?
I'd like to visit the real El Paso in TX one day. We have an El paso theme park here named after a real one ❤️ I recorded a shorter reportage on what it looks like..
i hiked up into a secluded part on the mountain one day digging in the dirt looking for cool rocks and gathering a bag of dirt to test for gold fragments,i heard some woman behind me say something in spanish and it scared the bajesus out of me and i turned around and fell onto my back,there was nobody there,i even climbed up the hill next to me and searched everywhere and nobody was there or anywhere, i heard it plain as day directly next to me and i still to this day have no idea what or who it was but it scared me off the mountain.
Here's two ideas on finding the lost treasure; ONE use ground penetrating radar and TWO use outer space satellite imaging and bingo, there's your gold!
I heard that Kastner (spelling) Range in north east El Paso was being developed for more damned housing. I love El Paso. I had the luck of being stationed at William Beaumont for several multi year tours and met my wife there in 1974. I was there pre and post desert storm and retired there. I wanted to stay but my wife said no.
Not Frankie mountain not la Sierra de Los mansos. That's a derogative Spaniard to the original natives was a very large of native nations aborigenes many of them soanisrddy names in. A very silly Ways. My rebuttal is that the original name of this. Mountain is hiden somewhere in prehispanic era .
What a terrible video, there was no mention of the great inland sea and the abundance of aquatic fossils. And the music is perfect if your in the first year of life.
Nothing more dangerous to history than amateur historians. The myth of the Lost Padre Mine is just that.... a myth. But they sure got the Tin Mines information correct. And no better sources exist about the creation of the Franklin Mountains State Park than John Sproul and Gerald Fitzgerald. Another plane crashed into the west side of the Mountains in the late 80's, but it was not a military plane. It was a private plane carrying bank notes from Dallas to El Paso. Members of the City Mountain Rescue Team, now COMSAR, used the small television tramway spoken of to reach the wreck and guard the bank notes until they could be collected by officials the next day.

Thank you for such a great educational series on EL,PASO
I was born here, I’ve lived here all my live. Probably going to die here too. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.❤️

El Paso is the most beautiful, cultured, historical city in the United States !!
You haven't been anywhere else.
I beg to differ on culture.. Sorry.. But the rest is spot on

Just to let people know, Alamo canyon is not in El Paso county, it is in Hudspeth county aprox. 15 miles north of Ft. Hancock.
I loved this video when I was stationed there! I've been looking for it! Thank you for having it on here!
2021, Jesus! My two cities have changed a lot over the years.
Pretty darn cool😎.
I used to live there, graduated from Andress High School 5400 Sun Valley. Left in 1986.
C'était une très belle ville a l'époque de western.
Beautiful. There is no place like home
Beautiful city. People are so friendly there
I lived there for five years alot of people are really two face but hey that happens everywhere
All them immigrants that suddenly come up make money and now think the are above everyone. True El Pasoans are good people.

Yo una vez compre un chicle ahi.
Very few people in El Paso have any knowledge of these mountains. Just a pile of rocks to them.
