It's a mining town. They're all either working, or sleeping after a brutal shift at work.

I grew up in Silver Peak in the 1980s... cool to see it again, so thanks for sharing. Took that road every day to high school in Tonopah (~50 miles each way). Silver Peak's population is about half what it was since the gold/silver mine closed and is definitely a very small / tight knit town. Just to clarify, the 'chloride operation' that you mentioned is actually the largest lithium mine in the United States. ua-cam.com/video/KvUE-gtkLEs/v-deo.html

Desert King? really? must be too busy to learn about Nevada in his busy 'king time' sure , bro.

oh come now, theres way creepier towns. at least in these empty ones, nobody gets hurt . think about it.

Always the extremes with the doctor. Why kill when you can kidnap?

A lot of miners live there.

Last time i was there couple years back there was a castle water fountain there. Also watch out for the burros driving through town.

Close? You are waaay south! Not even on the right road. Beatty is a long time home to legalized prostitution and 'ranches' of fame for the number of sex workers who are there ! There are not sighting down near Mercury or Beatty. Agree it is a 'creepy' town

Ahahahahaha super 😂

That road not on your GPS goes to an active mine.

On 1 54 i see modern shutters on that building. Actually, that building is still very good compared to others.

God dont joke about getting hit by a train that scared me

Been there twice, loved it and the people. Also an easy drive away is Goldfield ghost town, brilliant👍

more cars than people

növv i get id v v shädce jäcksön ^ ^

I believe this is where "Them" were actually taken and allowed to live. Listen for strange sounds at night.

Ooof... lol

People living in the last refuge, the very few remaining places where you can live without some Government stooge trying to shove a giant stick up your ass about some useless regulation designed to bleed you. Yeah "creepy" Funny how language is used.

Isn't it interesting that after 250 years of America that "creepy" is defined to be the only people left in the Nation who are actually trying to be Free?

I don't see anything creepy there. A subdivision with a HOA a pool and houses 3 feet from the neighbor is creepy to me.

Actually Silverpeak is to the west of the Tonopah Test Range/AFB..........A Lockheed owned group that does weapons development/testing.......

That’s the only lithium mining op in the US

my question is... where did the people go? thats creepy

That road was repaved in 2016 and is much smoother now. Alkali is just the hot spring and a dry lake bed. 100 years ago Alkali was a hot spring resort, but all that are left now are the spring itself and an old swimming pool (now filled with fish). You should have stopped there to see the wild horses, donkeys, antelope and feral cattle which drink from the overflow pond. Silver Peak has about 100 residents, most of whom work at Albemarle Corporation, the only operating lithium mine in the United States. The ponds you drove between are the evaporation ponds for lithium, and the road you drove on in that section is made of salt.

Umm . . . you're gonna get stuck

This town is to cool! We stopped here to see the hotel and ate at the dinky diner in town. Would love to go back sometime,maybe in may when we bowl in Vegas for nationals

Umm, area 51 was the other direction... And you think thats desolate? NV is desolate. I've been to a lot of places and saw no people, no cars, just critters. We call it, the desert.

No Burros? They’re on every corner in Beatty😎

What if this guy disn't upload or post videos for so long because he got kidnapped by a UFO?!?!

Funny how stupid BNSF can't even come close to the Santa Fe of the late 60's

No where close to area 51

Ponds are part of the process for mining Lithium. It's the only Lithium mine in the U.S. During the 1950s my parents established 22 uranium claims north and south of Silver Peak in the Clayton Valley. I was Dad's constant shadow while he prospected. I recommend the book "Silver Peak - Never a Ghost Town" by Victoria Ford. It covers the time frame from the late 1800s to 1940s. Dad 'Bill Graham' and an aunt 'Alta Brown' are mentioned in the book's 1930s narrative. Mom and Dad met in Silver Peak during the 1930s.

You are somewhere you just don’t know where!!! Not the middle of nowhere.. hehe

Flash floods are common in the desert after rains that come down from the hills/canyons

Brother what happens if you run out of gas in the desert its not like a harsh class 1 is gonna stop a 70 MPH freight for a person who is stranded.

did als diner move?

Like a Twighlight Zone episode.

There is nothing creepy about Area 51. It is simply a top secret military installation, not too far from the Nevada Test Site where Atomic Tests were conducted. Both places are top secret. The government does not want ordinary citizens to know what's going on there because you might tell someone who would use that information against us. They would rather you believe all the alien flying saucer stories that people make up. There's nothing spooky or creepy about Goldfield. It's just an old town trying to stay alive. If you want a spooky, creepy town, then go to Chicago.

Those were not bristlecone pines. Those were Joshua Trees which are in the yucca family of shrubs. Joshua trees grow between 3500 to 5500 feet elevation. Bristlecone pines grow above 10,000 feet!

This isn't "near Area 51".

Lithium is mined in Silver Peak. And you say near Area 51, it's over 2 hour drive from Area 51.

FYI, no Bristlecone Pines in Goldfield. Do your research, those are Joshua Trees. Goldfield is a great place don't mock it.

It's all hidden underground. Check out Deep Underground Military Bases. Sounds fantastical but isn't remotely. Especially when you consider how great they got at hiding missile instalations Underground all over the US.

Been to goldfield to visit cousin. Had a bonfire in alkali salt flat. Super cool area!

What a beautiful desert! Absolute desolation! Make sure before undertaking such a trip, open the bonnet, check engine oil and pressure. In the boot make sure there's a spare can of petrol and that the spare tyre is fully inflated.

Are we about to repeat history?? In vain, yet!

Man...! Mom always said us kids were going end up No Where... And after seventy some years l finally made it here today! Mist the PTSD's and could have been 's! Class of "68" peace ✌️ guys! Plus mom said we would live forever 💯🇺🇸, because only the good die young! 👌

Typical desert Town, the fact that it's probably 200 degrees outside keeps people inside

I'm from South Carolina and ended up going to a church service there in Silver Peak one Sunday in late June last year. It was the hottest service I've ever been in, but the people were friendly. We're actually going back in October and can't wait. It's definitely desolate, but a really neat place. AND, I got to meet the post master there. Sweet lady!

Trevor live there
