As a boy In the 1950s I grew up on an old homestead similar to this near Hailey, Idaho on Deer Creek. Our place had a cookhouse about 12" away from the main two-story house, a small woodshed for the house and cookhouse, and an outhouse even further away and off in the shade trees. The cookhouse had a covered walkway from the house to the cookhouse and contained a small bedroom, dining, large pantry, and cooking areas. That way the main house with the bedrooms and parlour didn't get overheated by all the cooking activity. In the house parlour, we had a large pot-bellied stove for heating the main house. In the cookhouse, we had a very large Monarch cookstove with a hot water reservoir on it. We didn't have electricity and used kerosene for lighting. We had a telephone mounted on a cookhouse wall and the telephone line reached our house via the top wire of the fenceline, with no telephone poles. In those days almost everything we had we ordered from Sears and Roebuck catalog. Anyway, I have seen a lot of changes in my lifetime here in Idaho, and seeing an old homestead like this one sure stirs up my heart and memory banks LOL...
Absolutely a amazing beautiful place your exploring. Incredibly amazing homestead. Glad to hear the family still owns the land. Wish you could show more.
Thanks Mark. There are a few more homesteads up there that I will be doing some more video on. And I have some video of finding some cool stuff at a few of them too. Cheers!
It’s like walking back in time. So cool. The comparison pics put everything into perspective. Thanks so much for sharing, Casey. What a Great adventure!
Absolutely love the old homestead the photos just add to the history awesome stuff Casey don’t forget to metal detect around the old out houses believe it or not I’ve found some amazing things as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. I will definitely be dong some more metal detecting at that site. I’m sure it has a lot of cool pieces of history hidden under the dirt there!
You, I was thinking this morning how nice it would be to sit down tonight - after the day threw everything it could at me - and watch a Coyote Works video. Excellent timing Casey, well done. Thanks man.
Another great adventure. Beautiful country and homestead. I love those kind of places. I imagine boys came from miles around to visit those pretty girls. 😍
We're in an old hill farm in Vermont built in 1867 (that likely needed work in 1868..) square nails abound, every project kicks off 5 more etc etc... the old dumps on the land are something though. Always jealous of your wide open views. Thanks Casey, stay well.
@@mtnbound2764 I don't know, I will ask someone from the historical society and get back to ya. Its a pretty vine but thorny. The pack rats love it. They chew it off and make nests out of it.
Well Coyote , you get to see a lot of amazing places with some cool history. All the years following your channel it seems the next place you explore is better than the last place. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for taking us along Casey. We have a number of old yards in our area and it’s always interesting to go exploring to see what we can find for history!
Ya have to say "Jeep Jamboree " when making those treacherous water crossings, and you will never get stuck. It's been working for us since our boys were little and the oldest is 27 now!
I love it. You showed so much and I like when you go into the buildings and show what remains are left behind. You are so knowledgeable on the homestead sites and everywhere else you go. I like that. Yes always smart to be careful out exploring you never know where a snake or anything else is hiding. I have always loved the intro music on your video's, please keep it, it's so you. As always stay safe, keep exploring and God Bless You.
Watched a few of these truck camping videos the past few days....very nice! There's just something about the minimal camp gear camp trips....I like it!
Thank you. Yeah I really enjoy keeping it simple and taking that more minimal approach. More time enjoying it out there and less time dealing with gear. Cheers!
Gotta say this one was most interesting to me. I was looking fwd to the magnet fishing however I agree with being safe than sorry especially on a solo trip. It would be cool to hear stories from anyone who might still be alive or decedents of anyone who lived there. Great vid.
AWESOME! very cool video. Love the history. I live in the Black Hills, We have lots of ghost towns, homesteads and gold mines to explore. Soon as I get my house/shop finished I can get back out.
Awesome video man. Those old homesteads are great. Too bad the hands of time are taking there toll. Boy oh boy that was a close one with that snake. Glad you made it unscathed.
You always have awesome adventures I really enjoy them you just did a wonderful job on this this particular Journey love the pictures that you took time to gather and edit in with the structures that you found.thank you for showing all the areas of the structure even though it was a little risky...good job! Lived in the country for a while, coming from the big city, snakes were constant but we're never a threat rattlesnakes are the best because they warn you if if they're bothered by you. They get a bad rap so many people are fearful of snakes. I never hear or know anyone that got bit. Many times I've sat down right beside one even with my dogs and they were unaware of my presence deep asleep. It's the snakes in the city that linger waiting for the opportunity to strike those are the snakes people should worry about not the nature ones
Thank you. Glad you enjoy coming along with me for the adventure. And can’t tell you how cool it is to know that it brings you some happiness! Cheers my friend.
Thanks for another great video. It started with cool homestead, check, good food, check ✔️, metal detector, ✔️✔️, Rattlesnake detector, ✔️✔️✔️ , play it safe,double double,check ✔️✔️✔️✔️!!!
Great video, Casey! I'll be doing more camping in my softopper now that I'm back from our Utah adventure. Such a nice and easy way to camp. See ya 'round!
Casey, your adventures out west are amazing! Thank you for sharing I’m nowhere close to you but it makes me feel like I am. Keep it up!! Thank you buddy’
Always a pleasure to join you on your adventures, Casey. Look forward to your associated relic hunting video! Happy Fossicking mate! Warren and Colleen, Queensland, Australia.
Hello from Ireland! Great video as always. Do you any plans for a Mock bug out trip anytime soon. They're my favourite vids. Looking forward to seeing more great videos in the future!
Hey Casey! Nice job showing us an impressive homestead site. What little they had, they fixed up with interior molding pieces and looked like wallpaper, too. As the family grew they added on the room, and extra stoves to cook, as you mentioned trying to feed so many family members. Gravy Gulch! Love the history how places were named, and this one makes total sense, with wheat flour and sheep's milk to make gravy. Looks like I have to up my ramen game... that looked really good and satisfying. Smart choice avoiding rattler contact or a bite. It's not worth getting injured, and it sure ain't worth it for any video content. Good to see the Vernlander out again, and the smile on your face driving it says it all doing what your Grandpa did and taught you to do. Keep living well, my friend! 73. Pete - KI7LIL
Thank you my friend. Really appreciate the comments. Yeah I have a pretty healthy respect for the rattlers! And you are right, there is something really cool to me about being out there in my Grandpa’s old truck. Cheers!
Hey! Sorry I missed your meet up today! I was trying to make it, but ended up running way late. Hope to see you at the next one! Re-watching some videos tonight, made me laugh at the end of this one at the serious water crossing. If it had been a Jeep it probably woulda floated away!
Awesome adventure! Waking up to the green grass and trees with the homestead and blue sky was the million dollar morning. I think it's time you get some snake boots or take a friend in case you need to have the poison sucked out. 😨🤣 Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Oh man waking up to that was just awesome. Yeah there have been a lot more rattlesnakes out this season. You may be right. It might be time for me to step up and get a good pair of snake boots! Cheers my friend. Always awesome to hear from you.
@@CoyoteWorks01 I’ve been enjoying your videos since 2017 good sir and I always rewatch them too! Thanks for all that you do and continue to stay safe!
Great video Casey. The setup of the homestead is exactly how my dad grew up on the family ranch. The parents and girls slept in the main house and boys in the bunkhouse; in piñon juniper country no less. I didn’t notice a stove pipe on the bunkhouse. Did I just miss it or is there not one? You certainly made the right move on the rattle snakes since discretion is the better part of valor. I’m looking forward to your video on your adventures with that well. Lastly, your comments on the juniper encroachment and abatement were spot on.
That’s really cool to hear your dad grew up the same way on the family ranch. That’s a good point about the stove in the bunkhouse. I don’t remember seeing a stovepipe but I didn’t really look. Next time I’m there I will check it out. Cheers!
I have been in this area. Just got back from Big Juniper Mountain on a 4 day overland. We found nine homesteads. Took an extra 10 gallons of gas. Found a new place we named "Valley of the Giants." It will blow you mind. I have lots of pictures. Going back in August on 10 day trip for our annual vacation.

That was epic! These videos are the best thing on youtube.

Thank you. That’s very cool that you have that on your farm. I bet there is some awesome history behind those places. Cheers!
Casey that is some awesome stuff that old homestead is so cool. Love watching your videos …….
Thank you Jeff. Appreciate that!
Got here as quick as I could!
Down here in Lake County, we call that vine "matrimonial vine". It loves to grow up in old original bunk houses we have.
Very cool! I’ll remember that. Cheers!
any context as to why thats the name?
@@mtnbound2764 I don't know, I will ask someone from the historical society and get back to ya. Its a pretty vine but thorny. The pack rats love it. They chew it off and make nests out of it.
Beautiful. The photographers heaven. It's so cool to see something still standing from that long ago. Great video again Casey.
Another fun adventure. Thanks for taking us along!
For sure Wade. Thanks for coming along with me! Cheers!
Coyote Works videos are relaxing and lower the blood pressure, it’s proven science.
Another great adventure Casey! Love the history of the area.
Thank you!
Great looking trip 👍👍. Awesome homestead and very nice looking area. Can’t wait to see what you found.
That was Wonderful 🐱😌. Thanks
Thank you!
Well Coyote , you get to see a lot of amazing places with some cool history. All the years following your channel it seems the next place you explore is better than the last place. Thanks for sharing !
Awesome piece of history! Simpler times in some aspects. Great video!
For sure it was a hard life back then but much simpler times too. Cheers!
“Pretty serious water crossing.” LOL! I’m glad you made it through.
Ha! It was a close one ;-)
Thanks for taking us along Casey. We have a number of old yards in our area and it’s always interesting to go exploring to see what we can find for history!
Excellent trip! Can't believe you pussed out just because of 2 or 10 rattlers! lol. Smart man. Thanks for sharing!
Ha! Yeah I don’t mess around with those rattlesnakes! Let’s just say I have a healthy respect for them ;-)
@@CoyoteWorks01 Myself as well!
@@CoyoteWorks01 And the fact they don't always rattle before they strike.
Ya have to say "Jeep Jamboree " when making those treacherous water crossings, and you will never get stuck. It's been working for us since our boys were little and the oldest is 27 now!

AWESOME! very cool video. Love the history. I live in the Black Hills, We have lots of ghost towns, homesteads and gold mines to explore. Soon as I get my house/shop finished I can get back out.
Awesome video man. Those old homesteads are great. Too bad the hands of time are taking there toll. Boy oh boy that was a close one with that snake. Glad you made it unscathed.
For sure a cool place. I know there are some more cool relics to be found there too! Cheers!
I'm anxious to see your detecting video.cheers.
Square nails.....An old 1860 winerey on my folks property. Built with square nails. You know its old school when you find squares.
Definitely old school when you find them! Cheers!
I think this is best video you have done so far love it keep it up kc
Thank you. Really appreciate that!
I seen a ghost image looking out the window watching u eat ur joy joy! I can taste it from here!!
Very good, Casey, we appreciate your efforts. Will look forward to the next one on this homestead subject...

Thank you. Glad you enjoy coming along with me for the adventure. And can’t tell you how cool it is to know that it brings you some happiness! Cheers my friend.
So many places to explore with so much history , last weekend I was out in the blues , some mining had been done where I camped
For sure. Yeah there was quite a bit of mining out that direction. A lot of country out that way to explore.
wow such scenery and history you sure do find some interesting places
Thanks for another great video. It started with cool homestead, check, good food, check ✔️, metal detector, ✔️✔️, Rattlesnake detector, ✔️✔️✔️ , play it safe,double double,check ✔️✔️✔️✔️!!!
Ha! Yeah my rattlesnake detector was going off big time! I don’t even mess around with them! Cheers!
Awesome trip. So interesting that homestead. ...what a lovely spot to live, out in nature and the peace and quiet.
Great video thank you!
Thank you!
Love the camping in the truck more than the jeep in my opinion..
Yeah i enjoy both but really been enjoying the truck lately for sure. Cheers!
Reminds me so much of the eastern Washington desert and all the old abandoned homesteads out there.
Great video, Casey! I'll be doing more camping in my softopper now that I'm back from our Utah adventure. Such a nice and easy way to camp. See ya 'round!
Thanks Mat. I’ll look forward to seeing those adventures of yours! Cheers my friend!

The homestead reminds me of the one barely standing of my family’s in West Virginia . Hard living back then.
Definitely a hard life back then.
On vacation but wanted to stop by and give you a thumbs up
Thank you! Enjoy your vacation!
Sweet trip Casey. Love the history of the locations you visit.
Found my recent spot down here with the Maidu. South of Mt. Lassen. Humbug Valley....
