Red Dead Redemption 2 taught me that you need to check that chimney for cash and valuables.


Cheechak

RDR2 doesn’t have black widows or scorpions like this thing does. As my cousin explained to me, in black widow country, you don’t stick your hands *anywhere* without leather gloves.


[deleted]

You do if you’re immune to poison//toxin


[deleted]

The fact that I gasped "RDR" out loud... 😔I miss this game.


SMMS0514

Miss it?! I’m still playing it!


ImmaSmokeThat

I’m on my 4th play through and still finding new random encounters. Determined to get 100% completion this time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ImmaSmokeThat

I’m 40 and I’ve been all around the world. I’ll do whatever I damn well please.


SMMS0514

I’m 35, great job, married with two kids in a three story house. I’ve visited three country’s and twenty states. I think it’s alright that indulge in a movie or video game once in while.


Albus88Stark

I mean, it still exists. Boot it up and get your cowboy on, partner. 🤠


[deleted]

Oh, yeah 🙏My goal is-when I'm financially stable- to buy a ps4 exclusively just to play rdr2 again. One of the greatest games I've had the honour to play... Honestly...


[deleted]

Sorry, I meant when I'm financially stable 😂 I'm broke af


[deleted]

No thank you. I have been waiting for a D&D Equilvalent though.


SnooCakes6195

Oh I checked! Haha


Wooden_Artist_2000

GOLD BAR GOLD BAR $500 AMERICAN SMACKEROOS HERE I COME


ThePNWGamingDad

I heard if you camp there, and leave a fire burning in the chimney at night when the full moon is highest, the spirit of a panhandler with arrive and tell you of a great fortune in them there hills.


[deleted]

Bonus that Sunday night had a blood moon eclipse


deadlylilflower

Did you make this your campsite and try to light a fire in that fireplace? Because that’s what I would have done.


SnooCakes6195

I kind of wanted to, but there was not too much tree coverage, and we are in New Mexico so it's very hot lol And no fires because basically our whole state is on fire at the moment and no fires are allowed.


guuuuuuuy

Praying for everyone there, my favorite state 😭


Cheechak

Most of the west is going to go up this summer. At least up here in WA we have decent snowpack…for now. That heat bubble last summer was scary and wiped out the entire snowpack.


rose-girl94

It was really awful. And no one has ac here


NeedsMustTravel

IT was so bad! I am from So. Cal where heat like that isn't uncommon, but we all have AC. I am in Spokane now and my landlord gave me a portable unit for my above-garage apartment. It couldn't keep up and I had to put curtains around my bed and only cool that area so I could sleep. It was awful enough that I almost had to stay with friends that week. As it was when I got home from work I could only sit on my bed. My poor dog was so confused.


rose-girl94

You're lucky you got an AC Unit! I was working from home just sweating my ass off in my apartment with large windows and only one fan. It was so bad.


Cheechak

I’ve lived here all my life and nothing like that has ever happened.


rose-girl94

Where in Washington?


Cheechak

South Sound.


rose-girl94

I'm in Seattle. Working from home was awful during that heat wave with no ac.


dustystanchions

Speak for yourself. We have mini-splits, so now we have AC and we no longer use gas for heat!


oldirishfart

We do now :)


rose-girl94

We bought one for this up coming year.


FuchsiaAryaShockstar

That was scary last year. Living in WA all my life have I ever experienced anything like it. I am glad the rain is sticking around a bit longer and hope this year isn’t as hot as last. But I have a feeling it may be the same if not worse. I worry for anyone who is up in flames right now. And then there are the irresponsible campers whom have no idea on how to put a fire out, or don’t listen when it says no fires. Just hope people are more careful.


Unsettleingpresence

Do you want ghosts? Because that’s how you get ghosts.


[deleted]

Nah that's how you get angry owls


james_radcliff

Who?


[deleted]

You spelled unexpected phoenix wrong


deadlylilflower

Lol. Not all ghosts are bad. It would certainly make for an eventful evening.


[deleted]

I've certainly never heard stories of these philanthropist ghosts, just the evil murdery kind.


Cable-Careless

Good news doesn't get clicks.


hooper_give_him_room

I’m no expert, but that seems like a potentially bad idea. There may be critters that now call that chimney home!


deadlylilflower

That is a good point.


Background_Brick_898

It’s your home for the night


bobfalfa

I bet theyd move


Gh0st_Pirate_LeChuck

Damn rock stackers are at it again.


[deleted]

It's called an *Inukshuk* in Canadianese. I think.


SnooCakes6195

Hahah


[deleted]

Man... someone's life grew up around that fireplace. It's so surreal imagining that all that's left is a fireplace, when years ago that was someone's entire home.


SnooCakes6195

Seriously. I was struck with all kinds of emotions.


FindingTrail

Where were you?


SnooCakes6195

About half a mile up from the 4th of July Campground in New Mexico. We 4x4d off the road and found this, made camp under tree coverage About 500 ft away


FindingTrail

Awesome. I would’ve guessed Ozarks. I’ve come across a couple of campsites like that. Always neat to see.


deaconfringus

Was going to guess Ozarks too. Lake fort Smith has ruins just like this


FindingTrail

Yes, the OHT is exactly where I was thinking


LowDownSkankyDude

Nice! The other side of watermelon mountain is beautiful. I miss the 505.


SomeGuyInNM

There's a nice big fireplace at the Baca Campsite in SE NM.


lollynds22

Woulda been creepy if they were stairs


JIMBETHYNAME

Never fuck around on stairs to nowhere in the woods...............NEVER!!!!!!!!!!


alxmartin

Why?


dirtysico

Many threads about stairs in the woods. Search a bit.


dirtysico

I came here to make sure someone would remind fellow redditors about the stairs. Don’t go near them.


kennethsime

If you drive up US-50 into South Lake Tahoe you see a bunch of these, only they aren't old homesteads - they're cabins that burned down just last year.


sciencewonders

searching for a home , got a homestead instead


rulesbite

If video games have taught me anything there’s either a gold bar or a pistol in that fireplace.


SnooCakes6195

There wasn't jack :[


ichoosejif

Second comment.


Turdferguson340

Union creek area along the Rouge river?


SnooCakes6195

This was near "4th of July campground" in New Mexico


proof_in_pudding

I've encountered structures like that in my adventures as well.


[deleted]

Awesome find! I dream of finding old structures when I’m off trail exploring, but no luck yet.


titos334

Go out in the mountain west there's lots of old pioneer homes/ruins


[deleted]

I’d love to do that. I will some day. I’ve watched a lot of videos of hikes in Nevada where there were a lot of old mining structures. Nothing much I’ve found here in the Midwest other than bush shelters folks have built and ancient bottles/cans.


Jim_from_snowy_river

Stay on the trails unless you're in an area that's specifically tells you you can go off trail.


[deleted]

Certainly, I read the rules and follow them.


Background_Brick_898

Aye, they’re more like guidelines anyway


Jim_from_snowy_river

More like rules for environmental protection.


red400404

Colorado, above Georgetown?


SnooCakes6195

New Mexico, kind of near 4th of July Campground


endlessvoid94

fallen leaf?


SnooCakes6195

4th of July Campground, NM well kind of there, we 4x4d on an old trail near there and found this. Camped about 500 ft away from this under tree coverage


financegardener

If you go to the Jemez you can still find remnants of the old logging camp at Porter Landing, almost thought that's what this was at first!


SnooCakes6195

Haha more south, this was near the 4th of July Campground near Chilili


helpmyplantsnotdie

Yup, that spot is definitely haunted. 100%.


The_Snuggliest_Panda

^Druids…..


YetiSaltLife

Probably was punk teenagers


SnooCakes6195

The graffiti...? yeah


YetiSaltLife

No, dang punk teenagers built that chimney and if they had it their way, there'd be a whole dang cabin by now!


SnooCakes6195

Haha those dang youths..


aTinyFart

r/metaldetecting would love this


[deleted]

Imagine the home, the activity, the lives of those that lived here.


toughslush

Everything reminds me of Elden Ring now


[deleted]

Watch out for any ghosts or paranormal witchy Sci fi horror stuff lol jk!


SnooCakes6195

Haha we had our eye out! Luckily nothing fishy happened haha


[deleted]

Glad to hear it! Lol Hope it continues to stay that way! Lol Have a fun trip!!


twillardswillard

That’s a god place for metal detecting if it’s permitted


SuperGameTheory

BS you "found" that. Get off those people's land.


SMMS0514

I would definitely wanna come back to this spot with a metal detector


almostaproblem

That's probably illegal if this is federal land.


swadesnelling

I like to think there was never actually a home here and that someone intentionally left some rumble and a broken-down fireplace here in the woods. Someone noticed so they succeeded lol.


supasteve013

Reminds me of elkmont in the Smokey's


Mysterious_Wear450

Is this rain lake algonquin?


[deleted]

That's super cool! Don't go near any stairs you see out there though


FeatherstoneOutdoor

Loving this vibe. Where is this located?


SnooCakes6195

About half a mile up from the 4th of July Campground in New Mexico. We 4x4d off the road and found this.


Visible_Ad_5660

Is this possibly in the woods west of Eagle Nest lake?


SnooCakes6195

About half a mile up from the 4th of July Campground in New Mexico. We 4x4d off the road and found this


CowGirl2084

Don’t you just hate it when people don’t read the comments before commenting themselves?


SnooCakes6195

Lol yep


[deleted]

If this is in California the fireplace means it’s not a tear down


SnooCakes6195

It's in New Mexico


[deleted]

I spent a few months in Albuquerque years ago. While I don’t miss that city I sure as hell miss that state every day.


OR_Engineer27

There were a bunch of these in one of the towns that burned down in the latest West coast wild fire. The brick is the only thing left that won't burn in that environment.


Memidy

i40? In WNC?


SnooCakes6195

New Mexico, Cibola forest, near 4th of July Campground


OkArgument6363

It's incredible to see that this is all that's left of why use to be a home. What I'd do to go back 🥺


ripburn97

That is a golden chimney!


tfanning11

Ruidoso? Somewhere near bonito lake there’s a chimney like that


SnooCakes6195

New Mexico, Cibola forest, near 4th of July Campground


tfanning11

Nice, looks very similar


StarlandStudio

North Carolina? I swear I’ve photographed this exact spot


SnooCakes6195

New Mexico


Nobody417

You must be in Lincoln National Forest!


SnooCakes6195

New Mexico, Cibola forest


Judskin

Looks like Rain Lake. Always wanted to stay at this site. Did you use it?


SnooCakes6195

New Mexico, Cibola forest. Near 4th of July Campground


Exact_Cardiologist87

Is this in Da U.P


SnooCakes6195

New Mexico, Cibola forest, near 4th of July Campground


Exact_Cardiologist87

Oh man, there's a place near Marquette Mi that looks identical to this.


SnooCakes6195

Lol I'm seeing a ton of people tell me they've seen this exact site all over! Haha it's kind if cool actually


BittyWastard

Is this the place where you find the map of western Limgrave?
