Driving By Nine-Mile Ranch, NV

Just another quick "throwaway" video of a drive by this ranch out in middle of nowhere in Nevada. I put a limit on the audio so no need to turn up your sound...nothing is said or anything of importance with that. Just look at the terrain, imagine driving for about an hour on a dirt road with no one around, and then this ranch comes up. This is a "prelude" to a bunch of videos coming out in December. In other words, my "Ghosts of the Past" series is not over just quite yet.

"The history of the Nine Mile Ranch has a long and interesting past, beginning with the Paiute Indians who inhabited this area long before John C. Fremont’s expedition into Nevada in 1843-1844. According to Fremont’s journal he camped in this area along a little creek now known as 'Rough Creek' in January 1844 on his way to California. Fremont’s camp was in the approximate location of the Nine Mile Ranch today.

With the discovery of gold in Aurora in 1860, this area was destined to become a main route from Carson City to the booming mining camps of the Esmerelda Mining District, of which Aurora and later Bodie were featured destinations. Along this route stage stops were established for the convenience of travelers.

Over the years, the Nine Mile has been known as Cobb’s Rancho, Nine Mile House, Nine Mile Station, Green’s Station, etc., but Nine Mile Ranch is what shows on most modern maps.

Notable people in history are known to have visited the area, including John C. Fremont, Kit Carson, Mark Twain, Governor James Nye, and J. Ross Browne, to name a few."
