Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation, it is good to be able to not only see the buildings but also to see inside and how they have been modernised to suit the trends and requirements of the time. It is great that so much is in such good condition and the people are very grateful for people like Chris and others who volunteer to help to keep the history of this important place alive. The people are greatly indebted to you for taking us along with you.
We are so incredibly thankful for everyone who has been helping Chris out and to Chris himself. He is very dedicated to preserving the history here and is very knowledgable about everything that took place there. We can't wait to go back and document more of the tunnel as it gets cleared out. We were so honoured to have been invited to document such an important site.
@@PinInTheAtlas Nah, i didn't like this one, I loved it. Y'all are doing really great things out there. Ever improving! Bet ya had a blast. Places like that where i lived, worked, and played all bring back memories. Some good as is there. Down the road i used to ride my mule into the local bar and we'd both get "tipsy". Got pulled over by the coppers one night on the way home. He laughed so hard he sent us home. Didn't know who had the best time. Me, which was barely hanging on or the mule.🙂
What a nice piece of history and quite a feet of engineering that was done there. You two always do a good job, so keep up the good work. It looks likes regular mine at first but on closer inspection it is something different.
We are always striving to get better and tell better stories Richard. We had so much fun chatting with Chris and we look forward to going back and documenting the tunnel! So that story happened near Sutro! That is too funny!
Thanks Rob. Glad you enjoyed it. For some reason YT doesn’t promote us. Slow process. We rely on people like yourself to share with all their friends and families to get the views.
Awww, Betty, thank you so much! We hope to see some new content from you soon! Believe it or not, we were approached to document this place which we are so honoured.
Wow what an exciting project and such and interesting place! It's so rare that anyone has the means to preserve these old historical mining related places. Truly excited to see what they uncover in that tunnel! Great video 👍
As are we! It is really cool what they want to do with this place and how historically accurate they get with restorations. Chris asked if we would be interested in filming the tunnel once it’s open and we said… HELL YEAH!
Isn't Chris great! He certainly loves what he does. Massive shout out to him & all the fantastic volunteers 👏 If it wasn't for all of them, this place would be truly forgotten & left to decay. Looking forward to seeing the tunnel open. Very exciting! I must say though Andrea, Steve was extremely brave walking through that door after you said about the spider. I would've wanted to know; Where it went? Did you see where it went? How big was it? Are you sure it definitely fell onto the floor? Was it a jumping spider that goes for your jugular? Are you REALLY sure it's not here now? Have you got the spider repellent? (Yes, spider repellent exists. I have 3 bottles of it lol!) Kidding aside you've produced a brilliant, informative & wonderful video for us this week. Thank you. Found it all so interesting. The wind gusts got up to 100mph last night. Cabin roof stayed put! Thank you for your email my lovely, I'll reply very soon. Have an awesome week, stay safe, take care and put more pins in your atlas. 🐾🐾 Toby says Hi!
Chris was great. You can tell how passionate he is about Sutro, and he is a wealth of knowledge. We spent the best part of the day with him and camped overnight at the tunnel. In Steve's eyes, any spider is huge! Even if it's like a money spider, and yes, I have to deal with them! We do have a spray that we use in the truck, and anything that comes into contact with it dies. Glad you enjoyed the video and that your roof stayed on. Sending love and light to you and your Dad.
Lots to see in the area too. Virginia City which is where the tunnel ends is a quaint mining town albeit a little commercial and downtown Carlson City is also interesting. Glad you enjoyed it Paula.
Andrea and Steve, That sign in the buildings loft,said Sutro Stables, which indicates that that trough down below was for the horses , oh, MUles:) When I saw the Sutro name it reminded me of all the history and the Sutro baths in San Francisco. NOw I realize , after this great vlog by both of you, that it's one and the same man. This may be one of the best ones you done, so far. WAY TO GO!! CHeers, Rik
The another advantage that donkeys and mule's had over the horse. They were more sure footed going across rough terrain. That was very neat video and piece of History.
This was so interesting, and well presented, Andrea and Steven, as always.👏👏 It must be wonderful to be with someone, Chris, and the volunteers, etc. who share your enthusiasm, and genuine passion for *restoration, preservation, and revamping existing conditions to their optimum. so appreciated, Andrea and Steven. 💛 ☀️🌟
We had a great time, Rhonda. Chris is fun, enthusiastic and a great source of information. We were exceptionally fortunate that he contacted us and grateful that he spent so much time with us.
Well I have heard a lot about the "Sutro Tunnel" and this video has answered a lot of the past that is very interesting, well done once again and all the best for the future.Cheers
What an amazing piece of history I never even knew existed ! Thank you! When you consider the sheer expenditure of human effort there .. I imagine today they’d just flatten everything between there and Virginia City! ☹️
😂 so true,Charley. A lot of work went into building it. Sutro himself was a great man and considered safety for the miners. He’s certainly an interesting character.
Quit an amazing place and a well done video. The reference to blue jeans may have been from cerro gordo Brent Underwood found some old (i think levi straus in he mine in fairly good condition
Glad you enjoyed the explore, Philip. it truly is an incredible place. Blue jeans, especially Levi, are quite valuable. All or most mine explorers look for them!
Great video of Sutro Tunnel. What about the other end of the tunnel? Can the other end possibly be explored, or is it collapsed ? What a marvel of this period in mining! Enjoyed watching! Thanks
Thank you Ron. We were very fortunate that Chris invited us. The tunnel links many mines. Some we think are collapsed but there’s the Chollar mine in Virginia City that does tours. We didn’t do it so not sure what it’s like. Here’s the link travelnevada.com/mines-prospecting/chollar-mine-tours/ Plus “Ask Jeff Williams” has a video on Sutro and the mines in Virginia City. He does a totally different take on things as he is a geologist.
Amazing I've only seen one other video on this tunnel not near as good as this informative but you got some back story I don't think there was anybody there for them to tell them stuff
It's all on private land, so you need permission to enter and normally have a tour. We were fortunate enough that Chris gave us the full run of the place to explore at our own leisure. Glad you enjoyed our explore.
Very interesting place. Thanks i started watching Adventures with Roger utube. He tells all about cool places in Indiana. His last video he drove thru Story but didn't stop! The video was about the Indiana stone hedge. Its by Story. Really scary place! I wouldn't go there even if i could make it up that hill. Squire Boon an Daniel Boon were running from the Indians and found a cave. Squire said it saved their lives an lived there from then on. The cave is so beautiful you should go there for sure! Watch his video on Squire Boon cave. He's such a nice guy, he will answer any questions you have.
Ulysses S Grant gave a speech (after he was president) from the steps of the Sutro Mansion. He and his wife also rode in the tunnel the full length. Sutro also brought frogs into the little community so he could have frog legs. They would live in the pond that water from the tunnel would drain into. There are frogs still there today.
We actually captured one of the frogs on camera in the last few minutes of the video. Yes we have heard that and after the ride and exit near Virginia city I believe they said it was a hot and miserable! Thanks Maryel!
The delapidated looking house you walked into is kinda what I want for my dream house. The building looks like cr*p on the outside, but the interior has modern amenities and even drywall. I want to build a similar cr*ppy looking house, but leaning with the flow of the prevailing wind. I do want to install a large wood fired stove for cooking, baking, and heat, but have it rigged up for propane also. I worked in construction for 30 years and my main trade is structural. So the lean of my dream house will have concealed steel columns and beams set at an angle with the wind making it look like wind is blowing it over. The interior will be modern wall finish materials, modern tubs and showers, LED lighting, tankless water heater that runs on burning wood or propane, and run the house indepently of the grid with wind, solar, and water for electricity if a stream is available. The ass kicker is that I hear people say to start small and grow a little at a time. Some sugest to start with a 1/4 - 1/2 acre. I want to have livestock, raise poultry, a green house for some plants and vegetables, and grow other produce and medicinal plants outside. I want to have a private race track for dirt bikes and my own private 4x4 trails. I want to hunt on my land, and yes I would down Bambi because Bambi was created for mankind's food. 1/4 - 1/2 acre, really?? I'm thinking 10 miles square and then grow!! Oh, did I mention I want a garage to house a Harley for everday of the week and a spare in case one breaks down!! I own two JEEPs now, but I can imagine having more. Probably an FC (forward control) JEEP like one that you fillmed in one of your videos. This is a fun video. You got to revisit Sutro and got to see a bit more than the last Sutro video I saw, and you made a cool new friend!! I wonder if you can seen yourself volunteering to help rise the place from the dead. Imagine a work PARTY with like minded people and even have a big *ss cook out/bar-b-que maybe a potluck as you work on preserving history for the posterity!! What an awesome party that would be!!
Your dream home sounds incredible! As a ex-motocrosser and motorcycle lover that sounds like heaven to me. Love the idea of the dilapidated falling down outside look too. Yes Chris is such a nice guy and we had a ton of fun chatting with him throughout the day. He did ask if we would be interesting in coming back to film more of the tunnel as they get further back and you know what we said? HELL YES! So thankful for this experience.

Cool! Another wonderful, interesting, lunch-time tour. Wishing Chris and his volunteer crew all the best. Thanks Andrea and Steven!
That was so nice trying to make it back to where it used to be thank you so much
Another awesome adventure with my Pin and coffee love the history and the fact that they are presurveing the history as always great video
Thank you Ray. It’s going to be great when they can open the tunnel. Wonder what they are going to find? Interesting!

What amazing history. That would be a really cool place to see.
They do tours, Steven, if you are ever in the area. It's definitely worth the trip.
The another advantage that donkeys and mule's had over the horse. They were more sure footed going across rough terrain. That was very neat video and piece of History.
Thank you Wayne. We do so fortunate to be invited by Chris and excited about going back again once they’ve opened the tunnel more.

an amazing tour, thanks guys. Makes me want to head there
It’s open for tours, Terrance. The info is in the link in the description. Glad you enjoyed the adventure
Love your true stories and fun facts! I always look forward to hearing them. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much.
Well I have heard a lot about the "Sutro Tunnel" and this video has answered a lot of the past that is very interesting, well done once again and all the best for the future.Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it. There is so much history all around there and a great area to explore.

Thanks Seb. Glad you enjoyed it
I would have to say this is the best video you have done as of today. thank yOu & Regards from Ody Slim
Thank you very much.
So very interesting. Nice informative makes me hope they can reopen some day soon.
We certainly hope so too, we have the open ended invite to film it when they do! So glad you enjoyed the video.
I will keep up on your latest great news and so happy that you have been given the OK to film it! Keep up the good work.

That was a great video. I hope they get it done. Well you guys be safe.
Thank you Bob, we do too definitely want to go back.
Can we get a video of Tonto’s new topper?

Your welcome
Quit an amazing place and a well done video. The reference to blue jeans may have been from cerro gordo Brent Underwood found some old (i think levi straus in he mine in fairly good condition
Glad you enjoyed the explore, Philip. it truly is an incredible place. Blue jeans, especially Levi, are quite valuable. All or most mine explorers look for them!
The kitchen sink in the madam's house looks like it's probably a 1950s vintage Youngstown cabinet/sink assembly.
Pretty neat sink, thanks for the info Craig.
I’m reading a book called the Bonanza King. What Sutro had to go thru and what he did to get this tunnel funded is beyond belief.
He was a pretty amazing man with good intentions to keep the miners safe and had a lot of issues with certain “people “ who were against it!
Great video of Sutro Tunnel. What about the other end of the tunnel? Can the other end possibly be explored, or is it collapsed ? What a marvel of this period in mining! Enjoyed watching! Thanks

The rock walls. Probably had tents erected over. To give head room and security. For the miners. Similar were seen in the Australian Goldfields.
Maybe, Wendy. Thanks for the comment
