Dan, my girlfriend and I traveled up to Elkmont and just returned home. After seeing your video's I just had to explore Elkmont. I hope that you don't mind while I was there I told others of your youtube video's and advised them to log on and do so as well. I hope that this would be to your liking. I hope to have a few videos myself and hope that many hours of editing that they will do justice to their respective subjects.

I delivered some fencing materials out there I was amazed all those houses in the woods

I think it is so interesting, but some are very dangerous too.

I loved watching this video .. it made me want to go on my own adventures into ghost towns.. this was a wonderfull idea Thankyou..

[dmccoig]

Your very welcome, please send us some videos of your explorations

Dan, Once again thanks for the info. the video and actually caring. I think that if the park gets enough pressure from the citizens that they would actually save more sights. I think that the rangers in the park believe that they were put there to own the park but in fact they are there just to maintain the park for the real owners. The tax paying citizens of the United States.

I'm so happy to see this!!! Elkmont is such a magical place! So, when can I move in???

Your videos on Elkmont are so amazing and informational. After seeing your first video we went and viewed the area. I'm glad they are saving some of the structures, but wish they were saving some of the millionare's row area too it is just amazing. But, from what I'm reading they won't be saving that area. Please keep posting!

Regarding the message you sent me: I couldn't figure out when they took the picture of MJ in the ambulance because his bodyguard was blocking the back with his hands, but those guys on the side, that's when they must of 'taken' the picture. Chris Weiss is the photographer of the MJ ambulance picture you see everywhere. It's just so weird because it was dark windows. I don't know. I guess i just analyze too much. (you can delete this, i couldn't message you).

In the park not the houses

It is closed off from the public I would not go in there looks like you would fall through the floors I was allowed to be in there since I was delivering materials for the stabilization project
