My mother lived out in back of the lumber yard ( no longer there ) in a small cabinet , in the winter there were tunnels leading to the cabins 3 as I remember. My mom worked at the Village inn restaurant ,there was the Tavern bar ,General Store and Post office,Id go swimming in Hot Creek . There was no ski lift that was down at Magee creek ,No stores  Couple of ranches and pack stations. a great place to grow up.

The best movie I liked made around that river was Nevada Smith.  No wonder Carl Malden tolerated the water, it had to be warm due to the hot springs.  I loved that river, it just seems so serene and peaceful.  Beautiful country!!!  Thank you for taking me there!

Hahahaha! Give yourself up so Sarah can have a dog.. never underestimate your opponent 🤣love these stories thanks a bunch😀

director henry hathaway must have enjoyed filming here,he directed NEVADA SMITH 1966,TRUE GRIT 1969 and SHOOTOUT 1971.another enjoyable outing.

Hi! Jeff & Sarah:  I worked up at Mammoth Mtn Inn 1964-5.  I worked under the Chef.  I can brag that I made box lunches for the cast and crew of the movie Nevada Smith.  Though I don't know just who did eat my lunches.  I saw Steve McQueen and his wife.  On my day off one day I was sitting at the entrance to the upstairs restaurant when Brian Keith walked up and started talking with me like he was a friend.  That sure made my day.   I've been to most places you show in this video.  I and another kitchen helper went fishing one day, and we found the road to where we wanted to go was blocked by the authorities, because they were shooting movie scenes in the area.  A few years later, in the service, I got to see Nevada Smith.  Wish we had dared to sneak in close so we could see the scenes being filmed.  My experiences in the Mammoth area never left me.  I still live 40 miles from Mammoth Lakes.

I hope you are kidding, you two are so smart, you are good for each other. Sarah is worth more gold than there is in the world.

Great adventure!  The CP on the mining equipment is the trademark symbol of Chicago Pneumatic company formed in 1901 and still in business.  Those are pretty big air compressors.

Sara’s discovery of the Steamin Hot Hole had me rolling!🤣 oh and Jeff .. my grandma told me that during the depression you ate anything that didn’t eat you.. maybe even a Fox. Lol I was at Mammoth maybe2 times did not know about the mine or the hot springs.. Thanks for another outstanding history lesson! 2 thumbs up

Thank you for the tour. I really enjoyed seeing the past.

Really so good, taking me back in time...your music is spot on, you guys are so fortunate to explore such areas..MORE !!

Jeff, I really enjoy your videos of places of historical value, and the places from old movie locations. I live in Georgia and I have never been to California. I would love to come out there to see many places, but realistically I doubt I will ever get that opportunity. Your videos take me to the places that I most likely will never get to see in person. Thanks so much for uploading these and sharing your excursions with us.

Thank you for the tour. It was very enjoyable 😊

People really worked hard back in the day..for low pay..hardships and no medical
