A $10 book on AMAZON PRIME led me to a LOST GHOST TOWN | Overlanding Nevada

We're all probably guilty from time to time of mindlessly shopping on Amazon. One morning I was enjoying a cup of coffee to myself one morning as I stumbled across a book of old Nevada Ghost Towns. The stories seemed intriguing and I couldn't wait for it to be delivered.
A week later it arrived in the mail, and as soon as I opened the first pages I found myself destined for the Nevada Desert in search of Gold. Follow along as I brief one of these Ghost Towns back to life!

    That was a stamp mill. We are envious. We use to do exactly what your doing. Love it.

    Great video Kevin! I love books like the one you have showing the history of an area, especially mining history. So amazing the conditions these miners worked under and the small towns that would pop up in the middle of nowhere! I really enjoyed watching this! 👍

    You should put a motorcycle rack on the back of the jeep and carry a mini bike to keep going if you can't get the jeep down the road

    So victaulic pipe fittings if I remember correctly was introduced during the war in the 1930’s there slogan was V for victory it’s a quick way to assemble a pipe line and or disassemble so that fittings would have been at a later date The cement with the bolts was for the hoist the cement pillar was a deric to lift the tailings out of the mine

    Great adventure, love the book concept but all I see are closeups of your face. If you showed scenery as you narrate it would be much more watchable.
