Dude, I love Carl. I could talk to him all day. As a former park ranger myself, I definitely recognize the ways he put his story together. It was awesome
Have to admit, I am claustrophobic and so, whenever you go underground I get a little panicy. I know in my heart you make it out, but my fear mounts for you each time I watch. Please take care of yourself whenever you do go underground alone...your fellow WL Canadian..
Hey mate. I love how you not only find amazing destinations, but amazing characters. You have a gift for this. These stories are my favourite. Digging up these wonderful storytellers, who are part of the landscape/destination. Keep it up, I always look forward to your next video. You inspire me to get back out there myself. Cheers, Rob, Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
On 5/28/77 this Beech C-45G N6065V crashed after having suffered a complete failure of the number one engine while landing causing a forced off airport landing ending with a collision with a pole and wires. The C-45 was on a flight from Davis, California to Beatty, Nevada.
OMG you made my year. I was there in 87 and spent a week. At that time the hotel still had red velvet drapes hanging and tattered from the wind. You could hear the wind whine as it made its way thru the glassless window frames. I was parked by the old jail. And to visit the rail road stop there it was like stepping into another world. Thank you so much you brought back a lot of memories . you do need to see Cerro Gordo and Bodie thank you Dustin good job p.s. rattlesnakes like to wrap around the sagebrush underneath.
I stopped by and checked out only the wrecked airplane too. Here is the story of what happened. Rumor has it that Fran’s Star Ranch thought it would be a good idea to run a promotion to generate business for the brothel. They came up with the idea of having a parachute jumping contest. The rules were fairly simple, if you could jump out of the plane and land on a mattress that sat atop a large painted star located on the property, you could spend one full evening with a lady of your choice. The contest went to shit after the pilot of the Beechcraft C-45 became distracted by the girls standing outside, clipped a pole on the landing strip and crash landed where it still sits today.
Wow, sounds like you & Carl have things in common. It was great listening to him & how important it is for people to leave things where they are. Unfortunately there's too many people that just don't care about our history. I wish there were enough people and money to help preserve these places! Another awesome video! Thank you for your hard work. I'm sure it's not always easy finding people around who know the history of these places you go to. Can't wait to watch the next one!
Lets preserve "America's Rome". I agree with the man speaking. Very good conversation with Carl. Thank you for taking me here. I remember my visit there very well.
Terrific interview with Karl, two thumbs up. Curious about the battery Burro, maybe do an update side video? Income tax season has me thinking about getting one.
There is a rebate/tax credit for e - bikes. I built my own on an existing bike I have.Don't bother with less than 1ooo watts and 48 volts. Mine does 43 mph and about 40- 50 miles range. And I'm upgrading... It ain't no Toy!
Great Video, editing, story, music all fantastic. Love the caretaker Carl Olsen, they don't get much more honest then that! Also loved that he stated things need to stay there! If taken, history will die away as well. Thank you for your adventure and documenting history along the way!
BATTERY BURRO!!! I LOVE IT! Beats E-Donk every day! Thanks for another sweet adventure... even if it meant descending to the magma beneath Earth's surface! FarmerMJ
Wow what a wonderful life you lead Dustin!! I loved the ruins of America's 'Rome' and Karl was obviously passionate about the history of the place and he was right to say that everything (old cans etc) should be left in situ for everyone to see. Thanx for a great explore. Gill 🇬🇧
First, I love the intro, made me laugh pretty hard! Second, the interview with Karl and exploring the old town was really cool. I had no idea it existed. Desert explores are one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing and well done as always!
Haha wow that was a crazy cool chill pad complete with folding loveseat and pre rolled joints. Lmao. That can was an old Hills Bros coffee can. Great vid. Can't wait for the next one. 🍻
Great stuff! Loved all of it. Carl was a great storyteller who really drew us in. Your exploring and adventure were well told - and the humour was on point. Thank you for creating this and other videos - it is greatly appreciated! Keep smiling and safe adventures!
There are a lot of hot springs in Nevada. Must be some fumerals seeping through cracks into that mine, or else it would be regular ground temperature. Be careful in there. Some geothermal vents and hot springs emit a lot of Co2. Those pin heads are probably spun glass. Excellent video. Good interview too.
I absolutely love this channel. Stumble upon it and have to say I'm absolutely hooked. I love your Passion and the history that you teach with every exploration. Just truly awesome. Keep up the amazing work. Hope you someday can make it up to the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area out here on the East Coast. Lots of really cool explorations out here
Loved the interview with Carl. It's the history behind some of your video locations that just suck me right in. And your intro just about had me choking on strawberry lemonade in hysterical laughter. LOVED IT!
Just so u know, ur vids r definitely enjoyable, and interesting, where as it's definitely appreciable when they r longer ones. So let's whip it, Justin. 👍
I subscribe to a lot of channels but your uploads are the ones I really get pumped about. Your content just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work. You’re not missing anything back here in BC.
Sooooooo, you found my chairs. I never for the life of me, or my wife thought you would or anyone would. Long story short, in 2019 rolled my ankle on the way in for four day hike. Bad enough we left that and some other camping equipment there and hiked out the next morn and called it done. Four days turned into 30 hours, ankle surgery, six weeks off work, and its still mess ed up to this day. Full disclosure, we do not smoke weed (airline pilot and not one likes us on drugs). Those where not there when we left the chair, stove, tent, coffee pot and coffee. So other have been there since. Glad the chairs is there to this day. Was a fight to take it. I did not want to and the wife did. I had to carry it. When I rolled the ankle she did not want to take it out. Go figure. Either way, glad to see its still there and people are……..relaxing with it. PS, never saw any snakes or scorpions. Actually we never even saw much of anything alive. But what a place.
That's my old backyard man! I grew up in Beatty. My dad still volunteers out there at the visitors center for the outdoor art. I spent a lot of my childhood hiking those mountains. So many amazing things to see there. Glad you made the trip. If you ever go back stop in and talk to my dad. He can point you to more cool stuff.
Another great little documentary. The amount of effort and creativity required always wows me. Was thinking of work by Ken Burns while watching. You have a way of telling a story that pulls the viewer in. And speaking of pulling you in: what did we say about being pulled down the rabbit hole to portals for another dimension? They are even using comfy chairs and pot now! Caution young Skywalker!
RUclips won't let me "Like" this video. Way to go bro! Absolutely love your channel. My family owned an RV dealership in Kitchener Ontario, call Campers World. I always wanted to do what you are doing . Keep truckin' bro!
Very well done edition this week, thanks for all the work you put into these. My fat tire ebike got here last week and I'm set to hit the road in March in my 20 ft. RV, start making my own adventures.
I believe it said "Hills Bros" on the can and I think I saw "vacuum packed". If so, then it held coffee. I've been to Rhyolite many times. A 1970's visit found a museum and an active bar in the old train depot.
As soon as I saw that comfy chair I thought "I bet that's someone's chilling out spot." Great video, D - your sunny desert explorations are a nice treat compared to grey and damp SWBC
Well done Dustin1 I explored this place [and most of Death Valley] in 2018, and i knew this particular place would be right in your travel theme. Very cool!!!
Rhyolite is less than four hours from where I live, definitely want to check it out. Dustin, you are brave to go in those mines, I’m holding my breathe watching you! Be safe out there! ❤️❤️
Lot's of geothermal in that area, used to be a geothermal research facility outside of Jean back in the early 1980's. Another great video of my old stomping grounds from the late 70's early 80's...
Rhyolite is very cool. I once bought a copy of the Bonanza TV show map (my last name is Cartwright) from the old guy at the little museum. Another time, I metal detected a WW1 army uniform button near the top of the hill that's halfway between Rhyolite and Beatty. It's hard detecting anywhere in that desert. You'll swear you're up some ravine where no human has ever trod... only to to find 8,000,000 .22 bullets, half of a 1978 Chevy truck, and a limited-edition sugar cookie tin from last year.
The needles were cool. I was just gifted some. They ARE glass tops.. Sometimes called pins, sometimes hat pins. I was able remove the rust from mine. Sliced a potato in half, added some liquid dish detergent to the slice of potato and stabbed away! Rinsed and good as new!
Folks often make a big deal over cut nails and round nails, but there was good 40 year period in the late 1800s where production of both overlapped. Cut nails are still being made and sold today. They work a lot better when working with native hardwoods.
Must of been a plane full of drunken sailors that saw the Brothel sign from the air and said crash the plane there. Lol. Great vid Dustin, keep em' coming, love your comedy humor and commentary.

Preach. You know he gets out but dayum...
Even though we know he gets out safely. L.S. can still tell him to be careful. Because I was thinking the same thing.
The second I saw the chair in the mine opening, I knew what it was for! Zen spot.
Hey mate.
I love how you not only find amazing destinations, but amazing characters. You have a gift for this. These stories are my favourite. Digging up these wonderful storytellers, who are part of the landscape/destination.

Wow. What a wonderful way to start Our Day. Thanks Dustin....
congrats on the 100K Dustin! good on you brother!
Thank you
Carl’s take on context was so beautifully articulated.

What a crazy interesting story! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Carl! Another great historical lesson Dustin.

I watched it three Times
Great Video, editing, story, music all fantastic. Love the caretaker Carl Olsen, they don't get much more honest then that! Also loved that he stated things need to stay there! If taken, history will die away as well. Thank you for your adventure and documenting history along the way!

BATTERY BURRO!!!
I LOVE IT!
Beats E-Donk every day!
Thanks for another sweet adventure... even if it meant descending to the magma beneath Earth's surface!
FarmerMJ
excellent...thu it had me at 'twice a week I am the town drunk'
I lived in Tonopah, 100 miles north of Rhyolite, for 15 months when I was 8-9 years old back in 1957-58.
Wow what a wonderful life you lead Dustin!! I loved the ruins of America's 'Rome' and Karl was obviously passionate about the history of the place and he was right to say that everything (old cans etc) should be left in situ for everyone to see. Thanx for a great explore. Gill 🇬🇧

Always love the videos with interviews. You, sir, make some seriously fantastic content.
Never change. Your intros are legendary, and I enjoy watching rediscovery. Have a good time out there
Another awesome video awesome history
Haha wow that was a crazy cool chill pad complete with folding loveseat and pre rolled joints. Lmao. That can was an old Hills Bros coffee can. Great vid. Can't wait for the next one. 🍻
Great stuff! Loved all of it. Carl was a great storyteller who really drew us in. Your exploring and adventure were well told - and the humour was on point. Thank you for creating this and other videos - it is greatly appreciated! Keep smiling and safe adventures!
Carl was awesome! That old west history is one of my favorites to learn about. I feel like a lot of it is getting lost and not enough is recorded.
There are a lot of hot springs in Nevada. Must be some fumerals seeping through cracks into that mine, or else it would be regular ground temperature. Be careful in there. Some geothermal vents and hot springs emit a lot of Co2. Those pin heads are probably spun glass. Excellent video. Good interview too.
Carbon monoxide is the killer tasteless odorless kills in seconds, Should have a monitor for checking air quality
I absolutely love this channel. Stumble upon it and have to say I'm absolutely hooked. I love your Passion and the history that you teach with every exploration. Just truly awesome. Keep up the amazing work. Hope you someday can make it up to the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area out here on the East Coast. Lots of really cool explorations out here
Humidity in the desert! Truly rare. Gramma Candy
Thank you for another great adventure. Enjoyed the interview and scenery.
That intro skit had me rolling lol love it. Great episode.
That was such a great conversation with Carl. :o) What a great piece of history. Thanks for the tour and please stay safe :o)
Amazing. Wow. Gold fever.
Loved the interview with Carl. It's the history behind some of your video locations that just suck me right in. And your intro just about had me choking on strawberry lemonade in hysterical laughter. LOVED IT!
So cool when you get to meet and interview all these interesting people, love it!
That was a awesome journey ❤️❤️❤️
Just so u know, ur vids r definitely enjoyable, and interesting, where as it's definitely appreciable when they r longer ones. So let's whip it, Justin. 👍
I keep checking for a video. I hope you are alright. I’m looking forward to your next adventure 😊
Love the interviews you have with others sharing such great stories!
Thanks man, pretty freaking interesting.
Central California Watching
Carl is a bright, insightful lovely gentleman. Good Video!
I love your humor !!
Loved listening to Karl and totally agree with him. Leave it as you found it. Great tour and history of the town and mines.
Still laughing about the "Battery Burro". Thumbs up.

I always wanted to do what you are doing .
Keep truckin' bro!
Awesome content man! I just started my channel and I love watching your videos!
Very well done edition this week, thanks for all the work you put into these. My fat tire ebike got here last week and I'm set to hit the road in March in my 20 ft. RV, start making my own adventures.
Such a cool explore! You are fearless 😳😳
The first couple minutes were absolutely hilarious! Loving this whole series of videos!
"Twice a Week I'm the town drunk" This made laugh so much, I love it.
I love your show. Done with such quality and great content thank you for sharing your adventures 😉♥️☀️
Awesome video !! Thank you.

Hills Bros was coffee!!! The can you found in mine.
Great vid!! Can’t wait to see where you go next
Dustin, Great video, your killin' it man! If you ever make it to Fairbanks, Alaska, look me up, I have some killer spots to explore...
Gotta say, I love this channel so much. Makes me want to get out there and explore stuff myself. Thanks you.
Love the channel bro and the adventures are awesome 🔥👊 congratulations 100k well deserved 👍
Oh man I wish we could allocate money towards preserving America’s history!😭
great stuff thanks
You need to catch up with Wonderhussy in Nevada . You both love adventure and maybe you could do a RUclips adventure together
This one is setting off my claustrophobia alarm! lol... Brave soul, sir!
You find the most amazing things!
WOW that was wayyy cool!! Wish I could do some exploring like that!! Thanks for showing us
That intro lol, what was i thinking, sry Dustin my mind was in the gutter
Got to compliment you on your music selections
Lot's of geothermal in that area, used to be a geothermal research facility outside of Jean back in the early 1980's. Another great video of my old stomping grounds from the late 70's early 80's...
Cool video Dustin. 👍
You do a great job on the interview edits
We're watching and my roommate Googled and found that the Hillls Brothers can was coffee.
Love your videos
Good video , as usual , thanks !!!!
Great video as always!!!
Happy New Year Dustin . Congrats on the 100,000 Subs . I ordered a T-shirt. Tks for the Great Vids . From Rob n Tracy on Van Isle . Stay Safe !
That's an amazing place! Great place for a Tiny house community!! American history the drive for Gold!! Not the best history but it's ours!

ohhhhmyyy GGAAAWWDDDD....i love it when u dork out like that ;)
Super cool video man.
Dustin be careful when you go in mines like that. It can be lethal to breathe some of that air.
I've been in that adit behind the bank, and you still made Rhyolite interesting!
The needles were cool. I was just gifted some. They ARE glass tops.. Sometimes called pins, sometimes hat pins. I was able remove the rust from mine. Sliced a potato in half, added some liquid dish detergent to the slice of potato and stabbed away! Rinsed and good as new!

What a rookie! I think you got the missile selector mixed up with the bomb selector! It's a good thing that you didn't hit the ejector button!!!😆
..and I am still so jealous of you!
Dustination Adventure
Must of been a plane full of drunken sailors that saw the Brothel sign from the air and said crash the plane there. Lol. Great vid Dustin, keep em' coming, love your comedy humor and commentary.
This was on shorts yesterday by someone else and fortunately it's with you, So probably a better show
