I would love to visit the area again with my son. Any advise how I could do this safely?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231757777709816064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187796.post-83870573264816399532019-07-07T09:20:44.125-07:002019-07-07T09:20:44.125-07:00Hello djmac!

We all went in the cabin even though the dead mouse nailed to the door as a warning.

As a kid we would always go and visit the house, and look for treasure. My Dad would boast about the double seated outhouse out back, swimming in the water tank and even mining. I can't imagine how hard it must have been raising 6 kids out there with no running water or electricity. But I bet the evenings were spectacular!djmac55@comcast.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187796.post-71737378213874981322008-03-21T06:53:00.000-07:002008-03-21T06:53:00.000-07:00Thanks for the update.RichThanks for the update.<BR/><BR/>RichThe Backyard Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575257149923033590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187796.post-34390704479250632732008-02-16T12:08:00.000-08:002008-02-16T12:08:00.000-08:00Rich,I paid a visit to this site today (A beautifu...Rich,<BR/><BR/>I paid a visit to this site today (A beautiful February day) and I was very disappointed to find that access has been blocked by a locked gate with some very serious no trespassing (and "this site is boobytrapped") signs.<BR/><BR/>While Olinghouse is not far behind this gate, the owners of the property (identified as Target Minerals, Inc.) do NOT want people in there. Apparently there was a problem with people cooking meth in the abandoned cabins, and people were destroying the historic sites.<BR/><BR/>The owners may or may not be willing to escort an eagar photographer depending on their moods, but they warn that they do have a "resident asshole" who lives up there to watch the site who likes to shoot people. They claim to be actively mining the site.<BR/><BR/>I STRONGLY urge anyone without permission to stay away from Olinghouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
