Hello nice to tag along where families lived in a mining camp .Makes one wonder why they built in low lying area .Or did the stream change thank you for the explore ⛏️🤔
My thoughts exactly. The canyon seems pretty steep, indicating that there isn't a lot of area for building, but where they built the houses seems kind of odd, being that it's in such a flood-prone area.
Thanks! Yeah, this mining community in Northern Nevada, so they get heavy snow in the winter. Unfortunately, that means the places don't stand up as well.
That's a great question. I didn't see any waste rock in the surrounding mountains which conludes that if it wasn't placer mining, the mines were elsewhere.
Neat discovery Dave. Looked like Lee was enjoying himself exploring!
Thanks! He likes exploring.
2:37 that 60's chevy looks good. Nice finds!

Great Video, interesting that all the roofs have collapsed, there is probably pretty heavy snow in the area 👍
