See incredible cabins in the Cabins of the Mojave

A tour of several mining camps that still have cabins and other standing structures found in the back-country of the Mojave Preserve.

Always remember when traveling anywhere in the desert, be prepared for anything. Always carry enough water and food. It is also a good idea to carry an extra 5 gallons of gas. One never knows what can happen.

Thanks for showing the picture at 6:30 that requests that you leave these places off of social media. I was at that cabin this weekend and it was the first time I have seen trash just left in the firewood box. Those cabins don't need the crowd with a lack of respect for what the park service has allowed to remain in the Preserve. There are many people that take them seriously, tidy up and leave it better for the next person. While you are getting clicks, organic circulation to trusted individuals might be a better method. Happy trails.

How wonderful to see it still together and in such good condition. It's a part of history that can't be redone. Someone looks to be still enjoying it and reliving the past. Thank you for sharing.

Was there in the late 80s - Good to see Riley’s camp is taken care of - it’s a special place. So much is gone now

So glad that volunteers still care for the gentleman's cabin! I always wonder about the lives of people that lived in these remote places, thanks for the video!💕🏜️

I'd love to spend a week there and sweep, organize, push into place, just touch one of those sheds. Really gorgeous area. Thank you.

What a wonderful video. Its great to see them in a preserved and usable state. I also explore and post my finds its always really neat. I just purchased a home built in 1873 with property because i love the old 1800s and I am restoring it to the original look and function of when it was built in 1873. i even have a photo of the family and hoise from 1894 and have been discoving lots of artifacts.

Stayed at Rileys several times with my kids. And a few times at the other. I prefer Geer, you can heat it with a fart and the bed frame is surprisingly comfortable. the sunsets at Rileys are epic tho

Really enjoy your videos however when you go inside cabins would you go slower and allow us to look at items left, on shelves, etc

I remember being out in the Mojave desert back in the mid 80's. I was living in L.A. at the time and my next door neighbor was into hunting rabbits. So one day we went out somewhere not far from Victorville. In the afternoon. We hunted until nightfall. That day I remember seeing a mining operations going off in the distance. My friend said it was copper mine. Is that place still there I wonder. But being out in the middle of the Mojave was awesome. Beautiful country yet rugged.

Those cloudbursts have led to the creosote bushes sprouting yellow flowers again.

Wonder if the old fridge in the last cabin might still work..

[charleshoang]

I could fix one cabin up, install solar panels for electricity and build a big water tank to collect rainwater in the monsoon season in the late summer to live here comfortably.
