Hello everyone, I apologize for the less than perfect video skills. I have new equipment in the pipeline that should help. Please be patient. I will get better. Thanks to all of you for watching, subscribing, and commenting. Thank you. 🤠👍

I recognized the area. Some of these places were homesteaded in the early 1900's. And these were there great grandparents original homes! Still owned by there decendants. Alot of these built in the 1800's are totally gone. In these mountains they discovered gold. Towns would spring up with schools, post office and several saloons and today is hard to ever tell that a community lived there. They used stamp mills to crush ore. When the ores ran out they would tear it down and move to another location.

In South America when they put hardwood branches in the ground for fencing, the branches grow into hardwood trees.

That was awesome. It seems older than you think. That one building looks like a blacksmith/ farrier's place with a place to tie whaever horse was being shoed. There were places like that in the 1800/ early 1900's where people and stage coaches used to stop over , for a meal and to have a wash and freshen up and, change of horses. The pony express also used those stopovers. The same here in South Africa A little town I lived in, in the Karoo (something like Arizona), used to be a wagon stopover and perhaps sleepover as well..Thanks for sharing. Made me feel like home as I now live in a bigger town.Shalom and maranatha!

OMG! home! I grew up a couple of valleys away. drove past this great set up a lot. its all private. its a old sheep camp. Italians or Bas folks built this place in the 1800's, probably Martins.

So, I researched the net about the stone houses in your video. It seems it's typical native American stonemasonry and while they might very well have been constructed in the 1800s, such houses were still being constructed in Nevada as late as 1910. You mentioned the possibility of this being national forest land, or so I understood. But a part of the property is fenced off too. This could mean that this land might have been under the purview of the Civilian Conservation Corps - Indian Division (CCC - ID), way back in the mid-20th century or earlier. Just like the other commentators, I too appreciate that you did not trespass and respected the fenced line. There are just too many urban explorers with a devil-may-care attitude, nowadays. Fortunately, you aren't one of those.

Some of those buildings look like they were built in the late 1800s and the tin roofs of course were added at a later date. So it was probably abandon and somebody came later and started homesteading it. That tractor looks to be from the 60s.

It's an old ranch. 1890's. Big logs were brought east by railroads from the west coast. Stone structures were anglo culture. Adobe were Spanish culture. The mix of two shows the adaptation due to limited resources or the builders had knowledge building with adobe and stone. Grass turf roofs and later tin roofs probably by 1920. Just imagine cowboys going about their day, children playing in front of the house, a man in his 50's in a rocking chair and a wife coming out on the front porch to tell everybody to come eat.
