Long Forgotten Family Homestead Deep in the Nevada Mountains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Next to two springs high in the mountains, the Beck Ranch was used to raise Morgan horses. The cabin was built from railroad ties in 1941. The railroad ties came from the Tonopah and Tidewater which ceased operation in 1940. The ranch was in operation until the late 1960s. #ruins #abandoned #decay #desert #explore #travel #Nevada #deserttrails

you do a nice job on all videos and are respectful of the places you visit, thank you
That place is badass! I bet it was a beautiful home in its day.
Yup..I want to move there now..cool place
@@larryhutton8776 me 2 .. I can see myself fixiig this place up and moving in
Videos like this remind me of the mortal nature and limits of our lives and everything we own.
As an outsider, I cannot judge the veracity, of the claim, that the ranch was stolen. However, if the land has been grabbed, by the Bee Ell Ehm, I would not be surprised. An inside source, who worked, at (that agency's) district office, in Southern Oregon, taped a Bee El Ehm annual awards dinner, where the most gleeful topic, that evening, was how successful their office was, at grabbing ranches, and raw land, from the powerless Owners!
I heard many, lengthy excerpts, from the evening's proceedings, replete with named Agents, receiving awards, and boasting, of their deceit, trickery, and intimidation, as tactics, in a vast land theft scheme!
I have not taken a single word, of the recording, out of context, in fact; the recording matches up with the testimony, of many Ranchers, both current, and their disenfranchised brethren, in Southeast Oregon, and Northern Nevada. One female Agent, at the awards dinner, expounded, at great length, on her award-winning treachery, whereby, (the Agent) pretended to befriend the distraught Rancher's wife, whereas, in truth, the Agent was, actually abusing this trust, to gain ever more valuable information, to speed the demise, of the ranch.
May this sdevious Agent meet her true reward, on judgement day, when she is commanded, to board the ferry, across the river Styx!
I apologize, for going off, on a tangent, but, this abandoned ranch reminds me, of all the Ranchers, who are in crisis, due to malfeasance, in the corporate, and - primarily - governmental arenas. We Americans depend upon some of the most honorable, enterprising, and hard-working people imaginable. They are the people who grow our food, and put meat, and fish, and poultry in the grocery stores, and I am loathe, to see them mistreated.
If 99 people wave-off, this statement, but one person finds it worthy, of further research, I will feel that I have not wasted my time.
Quite ok, I found the rant interesting. Even though decedents said it was stolen, I think it was taken because of back taxes and that the county just reverted it back to the feds. I have ran into it many times, the decedents just don't want to deal with the property so they try to sell it. But later they find out no one will pay the millions they want for it and eventually stop paying taxes. When they loss the property, now they can play the victim card, as so many people like to do.
Here is one such battle between the BLM and Texas landowners along the Red River. The case is fairly well documented in that the BLM did a survey of the Red River with the idea of making some sort of management plan for the property. However, along one stretch they marked the southern boundary of the Red River a mile south of it's actual current position. To date the BLM's position seems to be one of obfuscation about the actual facts. Almost as if they don't want to really define things because then they may be asked to stick with it.

Your, raint, was, perfectly, ok,!
However, you, had, 66 bloody commas,,,,,,, in, your, story,!
Back to school for you sonny Jim!
Sad. And infuriating.
@Edgar Miller that's not true, in Washington state squatters have the same rights as renters, you can't just run them off with a 12 GA...and if they can live there long enough and they build a fence they have some owners rights..it's screwed up here I don't know about other places..it cost around 800 bucks to go thru court...and the courts are liberal dems so you know the outcome of that as long as covid is around..
Google Earth shows a branch road that goes up to the water tank and ends pretty much where you said, "There's a corral", one can make out the stone foundation of the homestead about 40 yards SW from the tank. I try to comprehend the effort it took to transport "Very heavy" cargo and loads to remote sites, "back in the day", and the determination of the folks involved. That water tank probably heard every cuss word in the book on its long journey to where it now rests. Very interesting video, thank you for your effort.
In this case “back in the day” wasn’t like the 1800’s. They had cars, trucks, radios, etc. This place was still in operation about the time Apollo 11 landed on the moon. All the decayed wood and collapsed infrastructure gives the false impression its ancient… but it’s not.
Lovely place for a homestead, truly. I betcha they were happy living there. Thanks.
It's unbelieveble that you find on every place on earth the graffiti shit,only to show the world:" Hey, I idot was also here."These places a piece of history,they shouldn't be disturbed.Greatings from 🇩🇪
When I was living in northern Arizona, rural Idaho, sparsely populated North Dakota, when you get way far out into wilderness areas, it's the unemployed homeless meth addicts and criminals that have all day every day to explore, find every cabin, find every cave, find every abandoned home, and just ruin everything because of their hatred for authority, law, people, and their property.
@@DickinsonLivingInDickinsonNort It's really sad, that the distroying of our environment has reached even the farest points on earth. The day will come, that we pay the price for our fast moving,profit oriented living.But, do not despair, the head rise up, the next day will come,life is beautifull. 👍🇺🇸Greatings from Germany
Same bunch that want all the statues taking down
Thank you very much for this great video. Very informative!
Graffiti in historic places disgusts me!
I will agree 👍
One generations graffiti is another generations written treasure!
I think the world could survive without spray paint...
...I think. 🤔
Consider it folk art…
Grapes make me go poo
I have watched about ten of your RUclips videos of abandoned mines and homes in the Nevada desert. When you are walking on the very dry ground, and you point to several hundred feet away where there are Palm trees, Willow trees, or Grape vines growing, and say there's the spring, I get the idea that this is why a mine or home was built in that location in the first place. The spring and water is the most important feature of the property, but I have never yet seen you film any water in one of these springs. I would like to see if the water is seeping out of rock, trickling out of the ground, or is it just mud. I am not sure if these are springs, or just catch basins.
Come see for your self. Most are pretty clear flowing waters just because this is the driest place in north america don't mean we don't have surface water we actually live on top of the largest aquifer I believe in north america. And yes there are some that are just seeps and muddy. But you'd be surprised to see what this desert holds.
I love your videos and am grateful you started,this job of recording these old places, other wise no one would know about them don't change any thing you are a treasure in your self.
More beautiful than a palace to me. 😊
Thanks for the video. Always interesting how early settlers chose locations to homestead.
So, that's where tricky lived
Really cool stuff, thank you.
I have watched a couple of your videos and have really enjoyed them. Keep up the good work! I am subbing up!!
Have been there quite a few times....last time was 8 years ago....really has fallen apart
Lucky Dawg
Beautiful area!
Very cool video. Thanks for the history lesson. I would love to metal detect the old homestead. I would give it all back to the family. Cya on the next one.
I have been a subscriber for a while I really enjoy your videos I think the thing that most people including myself enjoy is the history you give Weatherby mining equipment or information about Homested’s and ranches you make it very enjoyable to watch.
Ignore the trolls about that breathing it’s better to breathe and not to breathe that’s what I say. Thanks again🐻
Fantastic tour, Thank you for keeping history alive!
So cool. Thanks!
From Google Earth it looks like you could have driven up to the old homestead. Very cool video, thanks.
I’ve having a hard time finding it
Un entretenido vídeo
Saludos 🇲🇽😁
New sub. I love these kinds on videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the sub!
BLM... BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT
Thanks for the video. My family used to live up there in the summers. We ran horses up there in the mountains. I think some cattle to. We used to take baths in the water tank. The house sure has fallen apart. It is sad how bad it looks now. There was a note that said please if you stay put things back how you found them.
Really nice video ! Thank you much .
Wish you had shown the flow of spring and how i5 was improved.
I was hoping too
Totally restorable.
Heck yeah, that building will be around longer than many modern buildings.
I stayed to the end, Dang, Did not see any water at the spring,
I hundred percent agree! integrating into the video the water course's that kept these people alive that lived in these Huts in the middle of nowhere, the water was just as important as whatever the were mining, probably even more so. I feel we're missing out greatly on that subject
I left the same comment. Waited to the end. Can you please show the water.
@@trueaussieray9093 Yes, the water is probably the most important thing of the home site.
@@trueaussieray9093 I totallly agree. No water tho, no need to stay. Breaks my heart to see these old buildings of yesteryear just getting vandilised or just simply fading away out of existence as no one can or wants to preserve them.
@@LowejaDogs yep its the only thing that bugs me about this RUclipsr he no care about documenting the water courses for us...
The country and its hills are really beautiful.
That place was solid ,at 1 point🐎
Well, that chicken coop's holding up well. 🐣🐔
Looking at all the spring-fed greenery, I can believe someone wanted this oasis in the desert ... perhaps enough to steal it. Thak you for the excellent history and quality videography. Good stuff!
Glad you didn't get snake bit going through that brush by the spring! As to the Graffiti, I kind of like the art and it seems to add a little to the story overall. Nice to know others have been there even though they tagged it.
They should raise funds to make into a museum
"Chicken bins" Thanks for the chuckle!
I wanted to see the water. Being a northerner, I'm not familiar with how people got water in the desert. Is there a pool at the spring? Does it flow all year and if not what do you do do?
I believe it does flow all year. The springs in the area are gr fossil water as they call it. Takes years to run out these mountains to the sourse
Good job.
Ron
Everywhere you go ... t seems like Wonderhussey already been there and done that ... 😆😂🤣😎
Very cool site, I love seeing that sort of thing. I always see the potential of how to make it livable again. Just wondering why you never actually showed the spring?
It is not easy to get down to. The growth is just way to thick and it would of taken me a very long time to even get close to the tunnel the spring comes from.
@@DesertTrailsExplored understood but think of how much better the video would be if you had proper clothing and hiking gear, took a little more time to get the shot of the spring, maybe had an assistant. show us a snake or two, I thought you were building it up but was also disappointed just a little, You are the one with the adventure before you and the fodder for drama, we are just the fortunate viewers. This comment is meant for your improvement only, or don't do anything, I will still follow.
Beautifuly done vidieo
A KY boy here, I love the coast.. But I would live there in a minute!
Thank you for the work and time you put in to these amazing videos, much appreciated. It boggles my mind to think someone would pack paint and supplies that far to graffiti historic item like these. I guess we should be thankful it wasn't the landscape and rocks.
Unemployment, Meth, and Spray Paint is all it took. I am surprised there aren't Meth addicts driving beat up Kias on the Moon looking for things to steal or vandalize.
@@DickinsonLivingInDickinsonNort how do you know there are not Kias on the moon? ;)
Awesome ❤️❤️❤️✅
Dayum..nice place..
Cool thanks
I asked about this place down at the museum and they didn't know anything about it.
This is the family name but not the site name.
@@DesertTrailsExplored I asked about the cabin using the name of the spring....crickets
Thank you for all your great videos. I really enjoy watching them a seeing all the old buildings and camps. Just one question, you ever worry about snakes? The land I see you hike through usually is full of rattlers. Just wondering. Again, thank you for sharing.
A little lipstick and rouge would spiff that place right up.
I am enjoying your videos a great deal. Just a side note of interest....it would be nice to see the actual water/seep when ever you show a “spring” area. Maybe most don’t have an actual flow any more, but if they do, it would be nice to see the historical lifeblood of the area.
Me Toooo!
Hi, a very interesting back history on this old homestead. I am at a loss to see where they would have kept the Morgan's because it's not what I would call prime grazing land for raising horses but perhaps it was different back then. Those old animal houses are most definitely not tall enough for a Morgan as they stand anywhere from 14.2hh going up to just over 16hh but most are around 15.2hh - 15.3hh, to give you an idea in feet a 15hh is around 5 feet high from it's front foot (hoof) to the bottom of it's neck (Withers). A great video, thanks for sharing. xx 💖
Hi! I Did Thank YOU
Nice video. Thanks for posting. After watching it, I searched the internet for this ranch. About to only thing that came up was your video on two other sites called Bit Chute and Daily Motion.
That is not the actual name of the ranch. It is the family name but the site was called something else.
Awesome videos brother... absolutely awesome... keep em coming you got me fired up to go spee lunkin!
Well, I've lately seen a green zombie clown with a caution sign as weapon
☺ ❤🚀🎯💪🏆👍
That WAS AWESOME!
, the scenery is SO beautiful
Altho i really hope u r NOT ALONE when u do this!
u need a look out.
Thank you for the view. I am traveling alone about 90% of the time. I was alone on this trip.
Loving the videos. Suggestion: get a new mike setup that filters out all the heavy breathing noises please!
This place was quiet the set up with it’s own spring for water
Sad to see these ranches rotting away.
Public land means owned by the people; not the government. The woman probably told the truth, they probably did steal her land.
Time puts a hurt on everything. No way around it.
Chicken nest for laying eggs and the racks in front of the nest are roost for chickens to set on and sleep.
What era/ year approximately was this homestead active? And what part of the country is this? Looks like high desert. Like the videos.👍
Probably where Tricky lives
I would buy this for play and turn it back into a working horse and burro ranch. Would love some more info
That water tank looks like a boiler from a locomotive or a tank railroad car. How far and what direction from Tonapah is that ranch. If I remember correctly, Nye county is the largest county in the USA.
That spot is awesome I tried to remove that tagging on that tank a coupe days after they did it. I hunt that area.. I was up there it wasn't there then I came back a few days later and there it was
Give the sun some time, it will burn that shit right off!
I guess the house was built between 1904-1943. The railroad was in operation from 1904-1940, the rail were removed in 1943 for WWII.
I would be afraid of the rattlesnake.
I will bet that place is pretty spooky at night....👻👽😱
Not really. Several times I have spent the night while I was wandering around the near by hills.
Man that's a nice place! Is it for sale????
Less is always more . isolation is really a confinement great place to visit ...lol
Somewhere in Nevada...
So are you saying that property is state land ?
And it was taken from the family
SAD that it was left to such
Groceries & Gas, where did they get them ?
If the roof had been kept up on that house, it would have lasted forever being built out of rail road ties.
thats tricky house he's just going to get cookies
Even if you pay your taxes preserve all paid receipts as you may be requested to show them ..burden of proof is often put upon the land owner
I do enjoy your videos, however, there are times when the camera is moving so fast that one can't really make out what we are looking at. Very frustrating. The whole spring section of the video was pretty much a waste of time.
any relation to Fred Beck, a Prospector/Miner ?
Love the videos! What’s a “Morgan” though? Thank you
A Morgan is a breed of horse. They have a kind disposition and temperament. Originally bred as a buggy horse, to work as a team. The Forest Service rides these horses and I did as well. They can be short although mine wasn't.
How was the Road ?
Grapes that you eat don’t make good wine 🍷
Morgans are so great and usually not very large...more like ponies
Best horse I ever owned was a Morgan, she was too smart for her own good. Lol.
✌🏻👊
I have to ask. Any ground bird the laughing at you call Chukar? 🥲
I would like to know who owns these derelict homes or property. Does the Government reclaim them or did original owners walk off their land and and and..... History of these buildings and property is to me soooooo important. It took mighty men back then to build these treasures. Although this building looks somewhat 20th Century??, dont know. I just wonder at who owns the land etc now. I know that in some places they are now Heritage sites for sightseers etc. Just curious I am.
How come you don’t metal detect the place
That would take a lot of stealing ,how would you ki from getting caught
@Whoop!
Is this in Clark County?
Somewhere in Nevada

I thought the same thing. My brother can lay down and roll in the stuff and my dad too and it never bothers them. My mom and I only have to look at it and it's off to the doc for a shot. Body chemistries are crazy things.
Yes he did, while talking about wild grapes...
It would seem that many of these old structures and such way out in the wilderness, would be a perfect spot for rattle snakes to hide. Is there any real danger of this??
Yes. He's lucky he's not dead yet from a rattlesnake bite.
You betcha. I worked on many ranches and those darn snakes are everywhere. Always watch where you step.
Is this land forsale? Can you homestead it?
@ 8:18 . YES ..
Hey how are you I ask you why all the places you visited not have peoples what happen to the people's deaded ? Or leaved ?
Usually it is because the decedents of a site don't have any interest in keeping it so they let it revert back to public domain.
_somewhere in nevada_
Yes, southern
