This continues my exploration of where Aurora once was. Again, There is nothing really here anymore of the once populated town of Aurora. Still, it is my favorite ghost town so I wanted to make a couple of videos of where it once was. I am currently doing this blogs for this part which are located here:

Note: one clarification from the last video. The Exchange Saloon would have been located just to the right at that corner at the :10 mark. That is where William Carder was killed. In the previous video I said he was killed at the Merchants Exchange Hotel. After checking my books on this I am pretty sure I was in error on that. It gets confusing because that hotel had a saloon as well with a similar name. Oh well. ;)

I have a bunch of videos that will be coming out in the next few weeks. I started editing together a bunch of these before the summer started, but never got around to posting them. So, here we go. Most are places I have covered before, and this video was actually taken a year or two ago.
I added the footage at the end when the guy opened up the garage door on me, and the dog started barking. My blog on this one gives a little more on this spot:

This is sort of a prequel to my RAMONA project that I doing in 2011 on my RamonaEpic channel. The missions are not really the focus, but are part of the historical background involved.
At around 1:50 I show the rectory (priest's quarters). It is the first one in the state, but they are obviously refurnishing it.
At around 6:40 I show an area that is part of some archaeological work being done with some of the historical foundations.

Merry Christmas! This is one of my favorite drives up Tioga Pass which leads one into Yosemite from the east side. You end up driving up about 3,000 ft. to get up a little less than 10,000 ft elevation. Usually, when I go through here the conditions are sunny, but this was a different situation. I sped up the video a little so people are driving a little faster than they normally would. We end up at Tioga Lake very close to the eastern station into Yosemite.

Another relaxing drone video I shot last summer. Right now, March 1, 2024 the area is getting ready for a snowstorm. Give me some shelter and I would love to be there right now.
During the month of July, 2023 Horsetail Falls was gushing out of the canyon above coming out of Gem and Agnew Lakes. This was due to the man-made controls up there letting out all the ice/snow winter/spring water that had built up. Unfortunately, I was too lake catching that. I did fly over to Horsetail Falls, but it was not as dramatic as pictures I had seen.
A few pictures can be found on my blog for this one:
