Great job on production! These were a great find! Thanks so much.
Glad you like them!
I grew up in Ophir back before it was ruined. My best friends mom and dad were the best. Arley and Stella Fitzwater treated me like their own son. Arley built a 61 starliner that my friend, Stanley drove the crap out of it. Also Jimmy Skinner took me to my very first drag race at Bonneville Raceway. Jimmy had a 56 Chevy Bel Aire that was beautiful. What a good guy!
Great job. I learned so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I lived in Mammoth in 1975 and I believe the population then was under 40 counting pets. Went back for A visit in 2019 and there`s not much left of it, only A half dozen or so live there now.. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the comment! Information and pictures about Mammoth really dries up after about 1930 so thanks for sharing.
You are correct Steve. Nothing there but one resident from what I could see...But that was in 2010.
It is now 2021.
I have been to numerous ghost towns near Moab Utah,most seemed to be occupied! Maybe not,kinda creepy wandering around them alone,! Thinking of making another trip to see if any have changed,!
A trip to a ghost town always evokes a certain wonder and curiosity about how the place looked in the past and the people that lived there. Some towns revive somewhat, like what has happened to Ophir.
Good info about several ghost towns.One thing; it isn't pronounced Mercure
It is pronounce Merker..
And for the record,spelled Mercur.
Ophir was the place where Solomon had his treasure mine.
Hi u need to go about 200 years earlier to find wher for he ore went
Shame on you for not mentioning the green eyed monster in Ophir…
See how they took the indigenous peoples land? Bet those people didn't receive any of the profits!
It's fucked to look back took all of their shit and put them on welfare and we wonder why they are all drunks
Boo-hooooo
This is true. However some of the Native Americans were moved to these lands. Their lands were taken over in different areas. They themselves were also transplants
