I didn't see if they had snacks...i like snacks allot...

Techbros have no interest in history or in communities. They would like to see everything flattened and remade into high tech plantations full of their slaves.

I travel a couple of miles stretch of these walls everyday. I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills. In Tuolumne county, Jamestown, near Melones lake be exact. I have seen them in several parts of this area.They look like ancient ruins. Fascinating.

I first noticed near Monument Peak looking out to Calaveras Reservoir! I found them sooo strange. Thanks for the hypothesis!

That rock wall is 50 miles long I don’t think it was used for cattle

Rode my pony all over this area as a child. There still is (at least in the 70's and eighty's) old foundations.

Another fun explore. Great to see many of the ruins are open to be explored. Thanks for the upload.

They really should have that investor from Japan develop it.

Did you have to order tickets online and reserve or are you able to show up and get tickets ?

Interestingly, while history records the medieval warm period, NASA and NOAA have erased this from their claimed climate record posted online, That only changed when the Biden admin began in 2020.

Love your videos! Really enjoy learning the history.

Thank you for this tour. I agree that more State monies should be dedicated to the preservation of Angel Island's history.

The concrete work of the first harbor defense guns emplacement is later style than the 1800s would have used. Early 20th century I believe. During either the First or Second world war it is possible that those guns were removed to help arm some of the warships being built to replace others that had been lost in those conflicts. A similar emplacement in the Los Angeles harbor area had that happen to its big guns.

This was another interesting video. I never knew about any of the past uses of Angel Island.

That Battery location at around nine minutes looks like an amazing riding spot. My friends and I used to love riding street trials on a similar structure in the Presidio in San Francisco. But that place looks like way better riding.

We can't have zero comments. It's just not right.

Growing up in Fremont in the 50’s I occasionally saw Alviso’s streets flooded at high tide. At my high school it was common to say to a fellow student who was wearing short jeans “you must be from Allison”.

to people in california understand only republican Governor is going to Drill for oil and gas and use the money to build Affordable House for the people.. you all must vote out the democrats in november 2024

Over the years there have been a bunch of little community's in these mountains. Communes, cults, run by religious zealots, anarchists all wishing to lock the world out and live in the way they felt best. For them. They had to escape the real world because of their odd practices somebody would always call a cop when they tried to practice their lifestyle out in the world. The masses wouldnt stand for it. !

Very interesting tour. Beautiful scenery. Great camera work. Very informative and well spoken dialogue. Hard to imagine doctors actually sterilized tens of thousands of Americans in institutions like that once upon a time in America. Jim Jones had moved The People's Temple away from San Francisco to somewhere in Ukiah prior to acquiring the land in Guyana where who really knows what went down there in '79.. but I digress. Great video. Thanks.

10:20 that’s a early 1960s Corvair Greenbriar Van!

What a find! Hopefully, if anyone decides to go check it out, they will have the same level of respect that you demonstrated ❤.

Love you’re channel keep up the great content

So fortunate he purchased this place.

monastery.

I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life and never heard of this! Thanks!

Great video bro I appreciate you making and sharing your story and information 🙏 thank you 🙏

Such a beautiful beautiful place I live so close to the place I absolutely have to go

It just got burned 😢

You should delve into the new owners of Holy City. That’s also interesting.

So 0/3 of the tunnels are still open all the way through?

These rock walls are in Butte County and Jackson, Ca, too.

The vast majority of the structures are straight tear-downs or winter burns (after stripping asphalt shingles and composite tiles). But if there's any hot water left then it could make a cool park, very pretty in the spring. Thank you for the tour.

Why does the narrator mispronounce Corral? Corral Hollow was named after a corral that early Spanish cowboys used to keep mustangs. There is nothing coral in Corral Hollow.

Has anybody checked to see if these weren't boundary lines for land owners with Spanish Land Grants? There are rock walls in Nevada too. at the base of Mt. Rose right next to Hwy 395.

Those walls were used by indiginous peoples to use as blinds and to herd animals into killing zones when they were hunting whole herds of wild life .later they were used for cattle .yes they are over the us .my opinion

Its also possible the Spaniards put natives in these stone corrals to keep them under control ?

Good vid. The 2007 HD pics are alarming.

Just a thought but... similar structures have been used to drive game. Before people had horses they would drive herds of game animals on foot and something similar could be used to direct them to traps/ambushes/obstacles.

THANKS BE TO GOD FOR OIL AND IT'S THICKER PITCH!! NOAH IN THE BIBLE BUILT THE ARK AND GOD TOLD HIM TO PITCH IT INSIDE AND OUT SINCE THEY DID NOT HAVE FIBERGLASS YET! MANY OF OUR MEDICINES AND VITAMINS ARE OIL BASE!!!

I live in Fortuna and you can call the land bureau to give you access to the headwaters park!

Shout out to the cattle king!

The comments are correct. According to my late mother, who in her late teens and early 20s helped drive the Zumwalt (and other's) cattle from Altaville/Angels into the summer ranges of Folger Peak and Highland Lakes (late 19 teens to the middle of the '1920s), knew the Tryons, Raggios, and Carleys of Calaveras County. Former railroad workers, many of whom were Chinese, Irish and Slavic took to the fields to 1) Clear the field stones - not just for cattle but for the safety of the horses of the ranchers, 2) Demarkation lines for property boundaries, 3) Portions of cattle pens/holding areas, 4) Fire breaks. Very nice presentation!

The walls are located all over the hills around the Bay, not just the East Bay but North above Vallejo. Lived in Fairfield for 30 years and hiked up to them a number of times. The damn things don't make much sense. If it was for livestock control they are very poorly designed. Another weird Bay Area mystery.

Those buildings are in pretty poor shape, but really cool. I’m a retired Firefighter, (CalFire) but before that, I worked as a Carpenter for several companies in the San Jose/Santa Cruz area. I also owned my own Woodworking company for 20 years that I ran on my days off as a Firefighter. If the Park ever got serious about fixing the property up, I’d definitely be interested in volunteering.

Wow, I've looked longingly across that bridge. Never knew they ever opened the property. You are a good egg sir, for documenting the journey. I never knew it was so large; and that so many structures remain. I've seen lots of historic photos of the Gilroy Hot Springs.

That is so cool.
