Wow, spent a lot of time at Garnet as a kid in the 60's-70's, did some small time gold mining in the 80's. Garnet was nothing like it is now. They have done a beautiful job of restoring and maintaining it! Now that I am back in Montana, can't wait to visit this summer. By the way, dogs have keen sense to spirits! Ghost Town of Garnet! Love the video. Hope you made it to THE best Ghost Town in Montana, Bannack!
Yes, I had the chance to visit Bannack in 2008, long before I ever thought about RUclips as a platform. It's on our list to revisit as Emily hasn't been there yet.
Llllllllllllllllllll
8:22 A "rocker" box -- or cradle -- for gold extraction! There are some functioning at the museum at Barkerville, BC. 😊
Barkerville is on my list of places to visit one day. Thanks for helping me out with the proper terminology on that one.
NICE TRIP! JUST IN ENOUGH IN THE MIND! DIDN'T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE THANK YOU! GRANNY ❤️ IT
You're welcome. Thanks!
this was nice to see, as it is of history. thank you.
It was cool taking a video tour of Garnet with the Carey family....
I'll have to check that out.
Nice tour,I love those old West ghost towns.
nice thank you for the video
Thanks for the great video, lovely to see you take the dog with you
Wow! Thank you for sharing. Your video was very informative for someone wanting to visit the area.
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
Great video, eh... just found your channel. I'll be watching for more. We lived in the Chilcotin, west of Williams lake, many years ago. Love BC and our Canadian friends .
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you'll stick around for some of our other videos now that you found us.
Loved the video
Great video! This is why I live in Montana.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I enjoyed it very much! Also was very glad to hear they were dog friendly!
So hard to find places where dogs can join in on the fun.
Really enjoyed your video. Nice footage and narration. So lucky to get to see this town and have your sweet dog along with you. Did anyone mention to bring up they are looking for volunteers to live in Garnet? Saw it online which prompted me to check out all info./videos I could find. I'm pretty sure your dog was picking up on spirits. I'm not into that but I understand that dogs have a keen sense about spirits. Really neat. Thanks for all your effort filming. 👍🐕❤️
Thank you so much!
Very nice tour, thanks.
Thank you.
Great content! Ty seriously
Thank you!
One of the only videos I've seen that allows for getting a look at the construction, natural wear and tear, etc...where you can feel, smell, sense the air, aging woodwork, dusty and rusting bed-frames squeaks while wandering around the different houses and buildings. And your voice has some good vibrancy to it so you can pay attention to your audio descriptions. So thank you! 😊
On the 3rd floor ar 6:40 he said there would have been no heat up there. There's a hole in the chimney for a pipe for a wood stove. So they obviously had a wood stove in there when it was used. Maybe not every room in these old places had a wood stove but they had to have something near for heat. It's not like these people back then wouldn't freeze to death in winter
Very good point, and something I missed at the time we were visiting.
I hope youre still exploring and documenting and sharing. Youre really good at what you do.
We are, we are indeed. No intention of stopping as long as we are able to do so.
@@DanOCan im thinking of staying in garnet for 1 year. Ive heard thats possible. What do you think?
@@stephenvanboening2147 If there is a way to do it, do it! I’d love to but I don’t know anything about how it could be done.
@@DanOCan it says online the government will pay people to live in garnet. A food allowance and small pay for showing tourists the grounds and such. It also says that next to nobody has taken them up on their offer. I think i might try it for 1 year with a dog and a gun and a ton of supplies.
@@stephenvanboening2147 That is a great gig. Might be a little lonely in the winter but it would make a great adventure.
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Went to ghost towns in Montana back in 2004 or so and believe Garnet was one of them. We went up a road like you were leaving on and kept thinking I hope we don't meet anyone, because one of us will have to back up to one of the few wider spots in the road.
Visited Garnet with family two weeks ago. We traveled UP the road as you did. Front wheel drive Chev Equinox. We 'did' meet a full sized truck going up. Thankfully, after a few feet of backing up, we were able to pass each other before the really steep switchbacks. Spun the front tires probably a solid 30 feet. My family was pretty shaken. I had only traveled down the road but not up it. I won't repeat it.
That is a great story. 👍
@@jenniferraddatz1418 See, I like all the information like you've provided: the type of vehicle you were in, the potential for some hair-raising road experiences, how the "traffic jam" was resolved, so thank you. And then also, the video shows the actual "rougher" road on the way out of the town and you can see by the fairly consistent treeline/curb, that's not a sheer drop-off from the edge of the road down the side of the cliff, with nothing but air between you and Mother Earth waaaay, waaay down there...but, uh, yeah, still pretty crunchy and spicy 🥺🎢🧨🩹⚠️🙁🤔🤠
He see's dead people!! 👻🤭
Multiple holes in the outhouse was for what you mentioned. One hole would pile up fairly quickly. More than one hole allowed for spreading your deposits. Outhouses had to be manually cleaned out so more than one hole decreased the number of times someone had to suffer that experience.
Practical and explains a lot.
Lmao!!! I can just imagine walking up those stairs with my old boy…. He would have whizzed all over a hundred year old landmark….😂🤣😂🤣😂
Haha, that's hikarious!
The hotel is supposedly haunted.
I believe it.
That was a sluce box I think.
Yes you are 100% correct, as I eventually learned.
Sluice box for mining
Thanks!
Did anyone read the smaller sign at the beginning of the video?
The one about the entrance fee?
What you thought was a sled was a gold sluice.
Ah, that makes sense! Thanks.
Maybe this channel is to touristy for me
Stick around and see. Most of our stuff is done while out touring so it naturally has a touristy angle to it. Besides, we love that stuff!
It sounds like your dog is reacting to something paranormal in the old building. Thus, the whining.
I agree. I have since read there have been a number of ghost stories associated with the hotel.
It's a ghost town not trump tower. It not going to if he has to pee.
Heard you can be paid to live there.
Yes, apparently the government has been looking for caretakers to live on site.
@@DanOCan any idea how much, or a website to find out?
Not sure. I searched online for "Garnet US government caretakers" and found some information but that was a while ago.
Great video! This is why I live in Montana.
We love Montana. Such a great place to explore. We really need the border open again so we can get stateside this summer.
