    Hey for us in the valley this has been a very cool summer so far. No 110s in June. I cant ever remember that happening in 56 years of being here. Typically we have had atleast 10 and several115 by now.
    The catle is cool to go thru. Parts are mace tith bottles and son like the building in DCA Radiator Springs.
    Love the man's treasure! Lots of muffler men in AZ couple in Flag in and out of the NAU dome. Route 666 in AZ was renamed 191 and is a scarey but gorgeous route in eastern AZ no guard rails and 2000 foot plus sheer drops.
    I admire what you do and have not missed an upload since 2013 on either channel. Thanks for showing the world what out in the world. People need to take time away from interstate highways and ride to forgotten roads and truely see America!
    Oh and the Rays v. Dbacks series has been great to watch!
    The ball is an old painted over Union 76 station ball. Went there a lot with my grandparents when the station was there in the early 70s.

      Indeed, it has been a very refreshing spring/summer compared to what we get normally. As we usually get a few days in June that are in the 110s.

    That lumber jack statue brought back a memory I completly forgot about until now. Back in the 60s my mom and dad moved us out to California and on the way we stopped at a place in Flagstaff Arizona where there was a giant version of that lumber jack out in front of this resturant we ate at and I think it was even called "The Lumber Jack Cafe" or something like that. Memory is a weird thing aint it?

    That bowling alley signage is definitely one of the coolest! You were so close to North Mountain, and the mountain preserve when you were in Sunnyslope! You should drove up to take a look, even though it's too hot to hike. Phoenix has a bunch of cool mid-century architecture. You would also like the Cheese N Stuff sign at Central & Camelback.

    Very eclectic places you showed. I like the street sign mural. Also the yard full of metal items is pretty cool to look at. In a small way it reminds me of some of the unusual items that my folks had when I was growing up. For instance my dad and brother each had a large rocket ship ride vehicle that they got from an auction when a local amusement park shut down (that my dad grew up with and I went to a couple of times). They sat in our garage for years one on each side. Interesting when you opened up the garage and saw those. Also another thing was my parents had an antique fire engine. I remember sitting up on the back of it when I was young and just playing like I was putting fires out. My dad just loved to collect stuff. Probably where I get my eclectic taste from.

    I find these videos so calming, absolutely love the way you film them. All those animals wearing glasses were brilliant lol 🤓 even a sheep lol. I love the metal horse outside the wing place, created from lots of scrap pieces but had a kind of gentle vibe 😊 I liked the 'be content' sign too. I'm having a stupid week, content hasn't worked 😅 I've overwhelmed myself with some expectations I had to get some stuff done. I'm usually pretty good at shifting my perspective and getting myself back on track, but I think I tried too hard and I just stressed myself out. There's an episode of Frasier where he's taking part in a bike-a-thon, and he's so fixated on not cycling into a tree that he keeps crashing into it... this has been my week 🙈 so nervous I wasn't going to make the most of the days, that I made it go that direction, I haven't just let things flow. I was so up in my head being mad at myself earlier while making a tea, that I managed to smack my knee on the cupboard handle, so hard that the coating on the door has lifted where the handle is attached 😅 it's one of those daft long handles, I don't have extra long legs lol. Just getting these thoughts out of my head here in the hope it might help and allow me to salvage some hours. Just saw your story pop up, and sitting in the cinema watching Back to the Future would be really nice right now lol. Anyway, appreciate the moment of sanity that comes with your videos! 😊

The leaves are different on a mesquite and mesquites are full of thorns that are 1 to 2 inches long. Those seed pods are flat and a mesquite tree pods are more like bean pods in a garden, more round. Also I wouldn't grind mesquite bean pods into anything and eat it. They brought mesquite trees into Texas thinking cattle would eat them and found out cattle and people won't eat them. Yuck

    I saw on a tour of the castle the husband came for TB treatment and his wife and daughter didn't even know why he left. He ended up building the castle for his wife and daughter which was a surprise to them not known until after he had passed. The guide says his wife used to kick people out constantly that would just wander in to look. So she finally put up a sign saying we charge for tours and then kept doing those tours like Adam said until she passed.

    That Hercules statue you saw was from the old Hercules parade that was at Disneyland in the late 90s

    Adam there is a place in Phoenix where Dick Vandyke liv4s or lived. The homes sit about 1 mile up off the ground. I think it is near Camel back mountain. I am sure the locals will be able to point you in the right direction. Phoenix is called pool city. It is also windy.
