Abandoned Mystery Cabin on Highway 50 - Road Trip Day 8 Episode 16

[robertpaulsen]

What is the history behind this place? Could this cabin be a genuine relic of the Old West? Could it be from the 20s or 30s, either a bootlegger’s hideout, an old miner, sheepherder or a Great Depression crash pad? Or maybe the construction is from a more recent era, perhaps by hippies attempting to live off the land?

If anyone knows the answer to the mystery, let me know!

1. be careful of snakes

in places like that. It looks like you are a long way from anti venom.

I'd love to metal detect that place. Were the nails square or round?

Thanks for letting me tag along on this journey.

2. That's good advice!

We were probably about 15 minutes outside of Ely at that point. We kept our ears and eyes open, but snakes can be sneaky.

I couldn't remember if the nails were square or round. I checked with Neek and she thinks they were round, but we're not 100%.

Glad you enjoyed the journey!
