Abandoned Saline-Owens Valley Salt Tram

So wild you and Brent were hiking the same place years apart looking the same stuff at 17:00

Just watched Brents Vdeo (ghost town living) and saw your comment and linked video. Had to come here and watch my favorite explorer doing the same.

I watched Brent hike so this was a great video concentrating on the structures. What a life style in those days. Thanks for the video and commentary.

Now, that's a beautiful place... thank you for taking us there :)

Love you! Holy moly and cool bean's baby! hehe, you make me smile your enthusiasm is worth it all, for all of us!

Outstanding. That large steel disc was a Disc Brake similar to an automotive one. It could be engaged to the shaft with that linkage and friction material squeezed on the outer edge of the Disc. At the bottom at 16:33 those balls on the vertical shaft were called a Flyball Governor and it would be linked to a brake mechanism. The faster that shaft turned, the farther the balls would 'fly' out and it would lift linkage below them. Also found on Steam Engines. Super wonderful tour. Some day you are going to flip over a piece of rubbish and be looking at a Snake! We are all waiting for the scream ...... and then the gunfire!

You have the MOST interesting YT channel!! Thank you for sharing places I will never see!!!!!

now this was strange..i watched brents video first and thought he discovered all that cool stuff first...then i watched this and you were handling the same pocket watch frame and other stuff first...very cool..!!!!!

Despite several years in the Mojave Desert, I never ventured to that area. I was close a few years ago, but had other things in mind. Kudos on another fine adventure.

Great place you took us to, thanks Wandering Wonder Hussy. The pots you found were upside down so that they do not collect snow or rain and rust out, otherwise they will become useless.

Your videos are getting better and better. Congratulations

It's amazing how they got all this "stuff" out to this place !!!!

Totally enjoy your family-friendly and informative videos, love how you do your research and speak with knowledge of the local areas you are highlighting. I thought nobody enjoyed exploring the desert more than me, but you take the cake. Love how you love life and adventure at its face value.

More comments from Super Suz! You have great commentary. Hardly any ums and ahs. What a hustler you are! I love the way you make money. Getting paid to hike! Fan freakingtastic. Ok so the other comment I have is can you please ask the talk mine owners down in “the valley that goes unmentioned “ below if the care taker can give you a tour and explain the whole talc mining industry? I would love to see that one. Last I heard a man named Death Valley Dave was the care taker. His dad was the optometrist of Darwin during the mining heydays and he still lives in Death Valley. So even that dudes interview would be a blast. All dang day! Keeping us entertained. Thank you!

Shasta! Hire’s Root Beer drinker, here. Fun memories of camping in the late 60s early 70s. That was the only time we could have “soft drinks.”

I remember Hires Root Beer as a kid in the 70s. Soooo Good. Nothing quite as tasty exists today.

Excellent video. Wish I still lived in palmdale. Miss the desert. Wow no garbage, graffiti or damage After a century.

You are so much fun,hang in there my friend and,thanks for sharing life with enthusiasm awesome video and history,love mike
