A quick tour of Granite Montana the ghost town

but I could still up there but period a logging road you know they're reminding all the old they mind up here goes down we're heading to right into turn of lining down some neat things to see on the way Steve Byrne and lux they're not very nice lore'l Day weekend [Music] surprisingly were still in two-wheel drive hello Yamaha Viking such a big machine and pretty rare we but it got a goodwill made right there nine hundred I don't think so way up here in the mountains there's a random building made completely out of concrete they call it the Zambia zombie apocolypse building or something but yeah there's nothing we're not in the near any towns and we're way up here in the sticks but yeah why they decide to build a house out of concrete up here item that exists Phillipsburg is random collapsed mine shafts they're everywhere up there and if you're gonna come around these mine shafts up here be real careful because they're all breaking and falling down and I never recommend going in any of these mine shafts and trust me there's plenty of them you can drive your side-by-side down if you really wanted to [Music] now there's an actual road to could drive your car they love to do that they don't allow that they couldn't even get decided about the Sun [Music] having even 5 property I here I should think you could buy most of this [Music] they can solve herself you'd have to be pretty no electric got to go up that hill there go slightly up to the right we're up in Rupp and granite birdy gnarly hill okay this was actually the granite mountain mining company office it was the first structure that was actually built in Granite itself if you want to pause the video you can actually read the whole historical information on it okay so this was the old stamp mill part of the mine as you can see the only thing left is a wall a bunch of the bricks were part of it a whole bunch of groundwater that looks pretty nasty but yeah this mine was booming at one point well as you can see the signs taking some weather to it it used to tell you everything about the stamp mill you probably look it up online but yeah there's what's left of it [Music] alarming owls like [Music] dpi actually just come there you go I sort of take you to the discovery scheme out Lake pretty much 25 and hurry two years ago maybe three the deck area [Music] and now all loose [Music] Driss here trying to get us long story short and get us [Music] there's a lot of critters there's no work Eric catch you later traveling I would recommend members right and I remember when they come up here always snow always well it's about as far as we're gonna go on this adventure so just get the lid to snow pack for me we're not dressed proper it's still pretty early in the year well we'll come up here and do this road one of these days and videotape it all but I mean the road no snow it's still solid Pat and this road doesn't get any nicer even if we were to get past the snow going up this road which doesn't look like too many people aren't going up that right now well we're gonna head back down to Granite since it is Memorial Day weekend nobody's ever up here but yeah imagine that everybody's up here we even got stuck in a convoy of Toyotas so hopefully they don't try to come too far up here cos they're not gonna be able to turn around like we can and then all up on the top of his mountain our water pipes like that where they used to get their water for a mining town because uh technically we still go way up on the mountain we're not even probably yeah we're probably halfway up these mountains but we still got a ways to go if we were gonna get to the top of them so alright well we'll head back down here and we'll turn you back on into town little bit of a jerk attorneys machines around all Vikings pretty tough our cart No [Applause] what I sure you will get up so the start is very near they've got three and we got two we told him that it we weren't going to make it up there neither we're late but I guess they're gonna try it says good luck okay so this spot always intrigued me I don't know what the deal is on it we tried looking it up on the Internet no information but it looks like it's two little kids that died at the age of 10 as you can see has their names and then the year and this is together forever so I don't know if they were siblings or best friends or what they were but yeah anyway I thought that was kind of neat okay so this building here Jason was totally wrong it wasn't the hotel it was the HAMP the Town Hall basically where they did all their socializing when they you know we're done mining you know it was kind of like a bar for the whole town in a sense but yeah this is what's left of it it was three stories tall you would never guess that it was three stories anyway again if you guys want to pause the video you can read the history on it or not it doesn't matter but yeah if I remember correctly it's also where they had like that their dances and stuff also this means you okay so this was always my favorite house only because the lady that lived here she had actually died at the age of 75 and she was actually the very last person that lived up here she basically lived up here up until almost the day that she had died and I believe she left in night 1969 or something like that Oh for all these years this house has been pretty pretty put together considering how old it is I camera will focus there we go but yeah this was always my favorite house just because who knew that a 75 year old lady would live up here that's such an a ripe old age of 75 because you know nowadays 75 years old isn't all all that old anymore well sketchy in here in some places but but yeah they call this the main house like I said she was the last last person here I've been telling she's seven till she was 75 I can tell that the the birds have been in made it their home now okay so I'm not too sure what this is or was but anyway there's a creepy old bed yeah and a creepy nightstand the stand just kind of gives you that creepy vibe I mean not it's a creepy vibe that it's haunted but it just kind of takes you back in time a little bit here's the outside in that house okay so you can do two ghost tours here your tours here I guess I felt the ghost walk takes two hours for just a normal high car to do it but we plan on doing that sometime hopefully this summer we'll get a chance to do it so here is a freemason stone I don't not too much about them cause I know it's a secret society and that's probably why I don't know much about them because I just don't care I guess they're just really secretive but yeah kind of where to see one out this far guess it goes to show that the Freemasons are everywhere you look just don't know well that about does it for the Phillipsburg slash granite ghost town video so we're gonna start heading out for the weekend going back home starting to wind down getting a little cloudy out so probably started raining again but that's pretty normal hope you guys enjoyed it and we'll make a video soon on tower Montana since we actually own part as part of that but that'll have to be for another video and another time see you in the next one
