UFO Hotspot and Ghost Town

here we are the infamous one of the back roads into Area 51 stepping back into the past and standing right on the doorstep of the unknown just beyond our reach do with the Air Force or Area 51 or you know aliens I'd like to get on there huh [Music] okay climbed up to the top to this little mine entrance it's a neat one the old school timbering in there and if you move to this side let's come over here to see it a bit better see the ladder and then listen to this flooded here that Splash and this up top gives not just a nice overview of the Town Old Town of silverbow there's a couple structures out in the distance left I think only two might be some more remnants in the trees but kind of just wanted to see if I could get any glimpse of any UFOs over there in Area 51 again that mountain basically is inside the perimeter as you can see on the face of that maybe the sun's not too bad there was a little bit of mining happening on the face of that some more mining happening on the face of that little Hill looks like more well inside the perimeter as well as dotting this whole Mountain here and behind us which leads us to the mill walk over to the mill real quick not going to be much left okay top there so that would have been guessing or bin shoot start at the top gravity fed continue to work your way down towards the bottom and there's also an old car down there so we'll get a closer look at uh what remains here more of silver bows down there came just exploring up some of these roads to see what else we could get to it's just beautiful back here so quiet and we came across remains of this mine very squidgy ground here through did The Rock test don't think it goes down very far think God as you can see it's just a kind of collapsed in on itself collar may have failed and went down but see there's some pipes running through so don't know if this uh continued up the mountain ways or not but again we're straddling Area 51 so have to be careful of where we end up walking don't want to get in trouble there and then just across the way can kind of see up there that Ridge looks like that could have been another mining Road at some point makes you wonder just what's beyond those ridges how many more mines mining camps ghost towns aliens UFOs and guess what no trip would be complete guess who spotted it look at the patina on that sheet metal corrugated metal excuse me okay we hiked up just a little bit more checked out the rest of the mine up on the mountain mountain and we have reached the official border of Area 51 there's the fence line running off so can go no further but again such a beautiful area so peaceful see there's more mining just on the other side there how cool Co is this I just stepping back into the past and standing right on the doorstep of the unknown just beyond our reach what an amazing area just over Yonder you can see where the mill site was we were at earlier and this was one of the cabins saw from the top there yeah looks to be in decent shape All Things Considered and there's really not a lot of remains considering there was a population was 300 yeah oh check this out I just noticed old tobacco tins oh yeah two of them I saying the population was 300 and uh the town only lasted 2 years before the silver ran out the they used to have a post office here and the Tona pass Stage Coach used to come through here once a week and their past time was claim jumping true story sounds like a good [Laughter] time see see all that's left here we got right in front we got this I'm not sure what this is It's not hm okay oh I see footrest countertop so it would have been countertop would have been up on here why would you have a foot rest on a countertop well you put your you put your stool would sit right here and you could place your feet up on here while you're eating you know like the old school diners would do oh you got your bar stool and then like a little foot rest small I guess could be well if they had a very small you know bar saloon in town I guess that's they did have a saloon I said they had everything well that looks in pretty decent shape but I don't think this was a saloon thing right from the rest of the so you got an old chair there and then two uh two bunks there's a secret room around the back I'm going to check it out there's a door here to the secret secret room out the back that's where they used to have the stove oh yeah and then this would have been well there's the door yeah it's got extra shelving and uh whatnot in here larer I want I wonder oh there we go Kentucky Street great whiskey March 1952 uh here we go I'm sorry TW is a fif 53 53 now this then a hard time with the light in here for some reason this this then is obviously been repurposed because the town closed in 1909 uh it opened again around 1913 not for very long and then again 1920 not for very long and it totally closed so these would have just been I guess Prospectors that have come up here and reused the cab right put better insulation cuz there is spots where you can't see there along the back canvas so that's pretty neat then I think just along behind here was a shell of that car and there's another little cabin close by let's go go check those out forgot quickly before we head to the car this is laying out next to the cabin so do you know what this would have done minus the bullet holes uh oh no it's a fan of some sort yeah so this would have helped blow air into the mine that would have been some baby nice old ride kind of looks like Bonnie and Clyde's car now kind oh shut up yeah now what is it all you car enthusiasts out there well it's got a flathead I'm just looking for see if there's anything inside yeah see the uh plate was pulled off here missing from the inside see the dash is all just any numbers anywhere no say the plates have been taken put that back how it was it's uh pretty cool though it is very neat so this was like a parts car for the mine then so here we are the infamous one of the back roads into Area 51 warning US Air Force installation it is unlawful to enter this area without permission of the installation Commander section 21 internal Security Act of 1950 50 US C 797 while on this installation all personnel and the property under their control are subject to search well I'll tell you this it's a good thing I'm good friends with the installation Commander sure should we go then let's get it on let get on but you can't uh obviously you can't open the gate yeah they've definitely secured this don't want to play around I wonder where they well like I said as they should cuz it is a military installation so those people that try to mess with it it's like just come on yeah let's be real you got to protect some stuff I would like to get on the base yeah just to see not not actually nothing to do with the Air Force or Area 51 or you know aliens I'd like to get on there to see the old mines the old mining equipment the ghost towns that are on there the old buildings there is so the petroglyphs there is so much history that's what I'm interested in cevin there's some more remains found over there oh sorry look how thick the uh the walls are two stones deep I size of this one this reminds me of uh State Line actually look at the uh window the window frame how they've put the brick the wood this actually reminds me of that ranch we did on the on the Death Valley border oh yes same kind of again another tobacco tin empty and then there is just some remains of another structure over there gu we'll check that out real quick must have been quite a feat to uh put these these rocks on because some of these rocks are huge yeah very large Stones this is the last official building in the town site get but looks like it would have been a little uh minor cabin he got some stove pipe laying down there where the ceiling is collapsed some shelving here just behind me up on the wall cardboard some Coors don't see a date on those Mar Ellen jams and jellies and what's up over here mobile know it's hard to make 24 one qu cans of mobile motor oil very nice oh what's this back here oh wow okay that's uh in Russian how cool is that oh this is wonder what that was a book perhaps and then going into this next back room very similar layout to uh the first one we were in and then outside kind like looks like a little ladder going down to nothing here we are the lad resident still in silverbow one Mr Fred Newton passed in 1922 and Doug and I just removed this tree it had fallen over only little casualty was this so This goes to speak to how well built this little spot was
