Excellent episode as always! I've been to St. Elmo three different times and have studied some of the history there. Your presentation revives my memories and enjoyable times at this amazing ghost town. Thank you so much for your wonderful episodes of Ghost Towns and More. They are always so enjoyable, and I love going back and watching them over and over again. Thanks again, my good friend.
I have also been there three times,first time in 1974.some relatives had a 100 year lease on a cabin right on a stream just above st elmo.last time I was there,the cabin was gone.one of my trips to colorado,I was in the big Thompson canyon the day it flooded and 147 lost their lives.only lived because there were no vacancies,so we drove on- the flood happened that night.
I would have loved to watch things like this as a kid. Good job.
Great video. I have visited St Elmo many times since the late 1960s having grown-up in the area and doing lots of 4-wheeling, hunting, hiking, climbing, and fishing. Just an awesome place to explore. The Alpine Tunnel was open at both ends in those days, but eventually landslides closed off the entrances. Still a beautiful area to visit as I still return to the area often. Learning some things, I did not know about its history which was fun to hear about. Thanks for posting this.
The people who generally made the most money in these gold rushes were the outfitters who sold supplies. Great video, I have to visit it.
Very consistent with what I've learned. The people who REALLY made $ were the ones who sold shovels, picks, etc.
These are wonderful. Keep them coming!
Eben is my hubby’s distant cousin, and his mom, Pricilla, ran the trading post before it burned down. We have the only known Post Office stamp from there.
Great is there fishing here.
GREAT video! Thank you! I wonder what year the metal roofs were installed.
Wikipedia article: "Founded in 1880, Saionr Elmo" If you have any historic docs about "Saionr Elmo", please update article and/or add note to talk page.
It's probably a typo on the part of whomever wrote that article.
Can we order shirts
How about cripple Creek colorado. Isn't that a ghost town tourist trap still.
Sadly, it's more of a casino haven. My cousin used to visit often when he was a kid, and LOVED it. Today, it's so different, it's heartbreaking. And he can't even go there anymore.
Looks like a place i could live in. Beautiful scenery.
