Russ, I get kinda sad watching your videos, because I want to be on the journey. So informative and entertaining. Stay safe buddy!
Thanks 👍
With this kind of terrain, now you understand how the Dutchman got lost, walking on foot with only a mule with him. A land of legends, really. Tremendous images, as always ! Always fun to visit Ghost Towns like Goldfield, very similar to Tombstone in the South of Arizona or Calico in Southern California. RICHARD
Richard. He didn't get lost, the gold did.
He made it out to the doctor in Phoenix, and when he knew he was dying he told his nurse about the gold.
the Dutchman wasn't Lost, his mine was lost.
Reminds me of Knott's Berry Farm in California,! Can't believe what happened to Arizona since the late 40s!! Made a couple of oil paintings of the superstition Mt's! When living in Scottsdale Az. Can't believed what s
.
when I was in Scottsdale Az., It had a population of about 12K. People! Went to a boarding school at Thunder Bird Academy. Thunder Bird Field #2 was an isolated world war 2 training base for pilots! Lots of rich and famous people made their winter homes between Phoenix ànd the superstition mountains!
@@GratefulOverlander , Jacob Waltz (dutchman) was living south of central phoenix when in 1891 at the age of 81, the salt river flooded his land (SW of 16th street and buckeye) and washed away his adobe house so he climbed a tree and was there for some time. This led to his declining health until he died later that year.
Back in the late 70’s mid 80’s I lived in Tucson and we had a cabin on Mt. Lemmon and the drive up that mountain is something I’ll never forget.
Left from 110’ desert and turned to just rock and little bit green until you are in what seems like you’re in the Rockies… Absolutely Beautiful !!!! and 70’
UNFORGETTABLE !!!
What was it like then? Did you have to be super wealthy to have a lot up there?
Yes We had wealthy friends who invited up mañy weekends whàt à beautiful fun cool wày for us to explore. Fishiñg black bears a plenty. I am 75 now.
It would be an added bonus if you could drive though the campgrounds where you visit - as a camper, I'm curious.
This is one of my bucket list spots. So many stories about supernatural stuff if one is into that. Many experienced hikers won't go in alone. I'd love to give it a shot.
It's a mystical place for sure.
Very beautiful and magical spot for sure. 💜💜❤❤❤💜💜
That aint no joke almost died there always hike with others bring a rope in case. Be safe 😛
Those high plateaued mountains rising up out of the desert are called "sky islands". Their altitude gives them a microenvironment that can be dramatically different from surrounding desert.
here is the secret the "phenomena" that stumped so many physicists.
Awesome, you give me a chance to go on vacation, without leaving my comfy chair. Love it!
Hi Russ!
I don’t comment that often, but wanted to say hi 👋
I’m also fascinated by small towns and road tripping, love your channel!
Very cool!
@@rvertv 👍
I was just at Goldfield town a couple weeks ago, Second time I have been there, the last time was back in 2009.. If you suffer from vertigo, get carsick, don't go into that mystery tour. They have the buildings built with the floors at different angles the roof at different angles when you're walking up a stairwell you're actually walking down. If you let go of the handrail you feel dizzy. I couldn't take it turned around and walked out back through the entrance instead of finishing it.
Went on the train ride around the town spent way too much money to go down the mine and for that train ride.
Keep on trucking Russ. Love to hear from ya!
So beautiful 👍👍🤗😳🎶. We all certainly get your money's worth on these trips. Really liked the antique buildings. The bordello building was gorgeous. Thank you.
Hey Hey it's our Russ, Check it out. APACHE Junction Arizona. 'LOVE IT" 👍
Just was there April 11-13. Love the park and hiking. Hiked Siphon draw. Challenging indeed. Did Canyon Lake, Tortilla Flats, Superstition Museum, Goldfields and more. Great adventure. Park was coming alive with bloom. Previous year before Fish Creek closure drove Apache Trail all the way. What an adventure. Thanks.
Yes, Lost Dutchman S.P. is a wonderful place to camp! We did for a couple days about a year and a half ago…AZ has some of the most beautiful and well-maintained state parks in the Country, and this one is no exception. Magnificent scenery, large and well-spaced campsites, water and electric available. (Not sure about sewer at any sites, like Picacho Peak has.). The sunsets there are just beautiful. Like the city to it’s west, Phoenix, it gets extremely hot for about five months of the year, so plan you vacation in the cooler months, late October through March. Goldfield Ghost Town was a cute change of pace, just opposite the state park, across the highway. Thanks for bringing me back (mentally and visually!) to one of our favorite vacations!
What a super cool video! Enjoyed seeing the superstition mtns (they do look scary) and all the neat collection of articles from olden days. Thanks Russ. 😊
Thanks so much!!
I love it there. So great to relive it via RVerTv. I can't wait to go back. I have read that they supposedly found the location of The Lost Dutchmans Gold Mine, but that an earthquake knocked part of a mountain on to it. Not sure if its true. Thanks Russ for taking us along on your amazing journeys!
That was a very neat part of the trip. Nice area, pretty. Your camera is so clear, can see a long distance. Looked the Lost Dutchman up, lots of info. Great museum, and little town. Loads of history there. Love those saguaro cacti. Ty for the great ride along. 🙂👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool trip! The museum looks very interesting but you passed right by the Peralta Stones, supposedly a secret stone map of the location of the Lost Dutchman Mine which has a cult like following!
yay! Love the stories about the Superstition Mountains! glad you went there!
Thanks to you for doing my traveling for me. Bless you.
Hey Russ!!! "WATCH" for the "RATTLESNAKES"!!!
I love these videos and commentary. Its like Russ is our tour guide, and you take us in to museums, shops, focal points, note great places to boondock and where not to. Please, don't ever stop RV'ing! (and if you need to take a break, er, brake, ... its understood the work you do with narrating, driving and editing it all. Bonus drone footage!)
Russ,all your videos are really good. I like the fact that you stick to the back roads so we see a lot more interesting stuff. What is your theme music called, it's a real catchy tune.
Regards from New Zealand.
RVer TV The Elvis Chapel and the Barn are the only buildings brought over from Apacheland Movie Ranch. They were the only buildings that serifed the fire. Apacheland (1960-1994) that was East of Gold Canyon, AZ. There is nothing there anymore. Yes there has been a lot of history save at the Museum. There is also lectures about the area and different things, cook outs. It is a place to go. Enjoy
I enjoyed the video,.What a beautiful area. Thanks for the drone shot. And I'm gonna check out all of the Museums. Very interesting. SAFE TRAVELS
I lucked up the day I went to take photos there, there was no haze and there were beautiful white clouds...got the most AMAZING shots!
🙋♀️Hello Russ! Exciting! Visiting a replica of a town from back in the day. Very inviting going out on trails on horseback. What a wonderful day this was to visit Lost Dutchman State Park. Enjoy the rest of your day Russ!👍
🥕Happy Easter!🐇 I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Well done, Russ. So much to see and do in that area. Take care, Mike
Great video lots of fun places to go I was on a live stream yesterday with Sasnak ( Stan) and he mentioned you in the broadcast you are the man that knows everything about Quartzsite he had really nice things to say !!
Very cool! sasnak is a good friend
I grew up with a perfect view of that mountain, and watched ol' timers walking towards that mountain full of "gold".
Watched one where they followed the clues to where they thought the Lost Dutchman was and there is a commercial gold mining operation there already. Mystery solved.
Spent a week there in December 2018 and again in January 2019. Loved the hike up Siphon Draw!
Also enjoyed mountain biking around the trails in the park! Witnessed a helicopter rescue from the Flatiron one day!!!
Happy Trails , United States America , Russ , RVerTV Fans. Thank you Russ. I enjoy RVerTV - avid fan - 3 years now. Your Canadian Fans - Welcome Russ - Visit Canada Eh - 2022/ 2023.
We love Apache Junction, we have wintered there for the last 10 years, it's beautiful. Just got home from there on April 1. I happened to see your RUclips of Superstition Mountain and had to watch. Also in Goldfield town that church at the top of the hill, they have church services there every Sunday, and its always full. Did you know that two times a year one being the last week in March when the sun is going down Superstition mountain has a shadow of a cougar on the mountain, we got some awesome pictures a few weeks ago. Enjoy your travels.
Elvis did do a movie there. Great video Mr. Russ👍🤠🌴🇺🇸
Thanks Russ so very interesting and educational take care
Glad you enjoyed it
Hiked the lost Dutchman trail with my brother a couple months ago when I lived in Casa Grande Arizona we made it to the top beautiful scenery really don't reckon you go alone
Good video. Thanks for showing things I've not seen in other videos about the Superstitions. 👌🏼
Great video Russ! You are not to far from a great campground on the Verde River. Going that way north? Have fun.
Thanks Russ, great video. Brought back memories of hiking up to the Praying Hands. Safe travels Russ!
I too enjoy seeing the campgrounds where you stay...
Love them spiral staircases ☮️🌵
Great videos! Canyon lake is my happy place. I've been promoting your videos on living in Arizona groups. Thanks so much!
loved it
You do a great job making your videos very enjoyable. Your camera placement and the equipment is excellent and so is your friendly informative personality. In the evening I holler.."Russ has a new one" and we all gather 'round to watch. Thanks a lot.
Awesome, thank you!
Russ, please make a short clip about the desert in bloom and where it is best to view. Thank You.
An older B&W Hollywood film was made re: The Lost Dutchman Mine. Stars: Glenn Ford, and Ida Lupino and others. Of course it had the Hollywood twist.
Let’s find some gold; nice😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Beautiful Scenery! Choose joy.thanks.
Thank you too!
You do a really nice job making it all interesting and engaging. Thanks
We lived in Apache Junction for seven years and Goldfield Ghost town has the best hamburgers. We would go out there just for lunch with the best view in the state.
I was there the first part of March russ, there were guys base jumping off the top of the mountain
All of these places here in AZ look so much fun! Thanks for sharing the joy. We now live in the NW of AZ so we will try to visit many of these fun spots in coming years.
You should!
Great video as always. In my comment from your last video, i mentioned superior Az. You should check out superior arboretum. Its so beautiful. Its worth visiting. You do have to pay a small fee to get in but its worth it.
I will check it out
Love your videos. Do you record the audio while driving? If so, how? We will be in Arizona in late May to see my dad. Will be visiting many of the areas you have been exploring. Be well.
Arizona just keeps on a giving, 2 thumbs up!
nice ride Russ thanks Bud!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wide open range
Nice
Thank you
Welcome 👍
Thanks for the trip, kind of looks like the Kofa mountains by Quartzite AZ. Safe Travels
Thank you Russ, you always make a great video. Do you end up in Showlo from where you are? My Sister in law lives in Showlo
We stayed in the White Mountains and did our shopping there. Lots of great burritos and smoke shops in that town. I loved it! I was told they named it after a hand some rancher lost everything he owned on. Not sure if it's true.
@@autumnskyes5633 neat story! Did you see Ace/ Deuce road?
@@artmurphy4991 thanks but I can't vouch for it's truthfulness 😆. No we went there to stock up on goods and feed for the animals and fuel, that sort of thing. I'm afraid we didn't do too much exploration there.
@@artmurphy4991 Deuce of Clubs is main road thru Show Low. 3hrs north of the valley.
@@JB-dk3qc thank u, I have only been to Showlo once in 2015 for 1.5 days
Since this is a RVing channel would you mind driving through campgrounds when you are near one? Love your videos!
If you have a library card from any of the Phoenix area cities, they have a "Culture Pass" system that gets you into many things for free. For example, the Superstition Mountain Museum and the Western Museum in Wickenburg are both on the list.
Thanks again..I learn so much travelling with you..The drone footage was wonderful.."check it out"..
I live about 20 minutes away from this area and I go here all the time . No matter what kind of problems you have in your life when you comes out here pull out a chair and just sit and enjoy the view to will ask yourself WHAT PROBLEMS ? . Of after you leave you will say OH THOSE PRBLEMS !! 🙂
nice !!
Come to think of it, next time you're in Tucson, check out the "Southern Arizona Transportation Museum", located between Speedway and Broadway Streets just adjacent to Interstate-10. Plenty of Railroad memorabilia, very nice place to visit near the Union Pacific train station. RICHARD
Pretty neat! Thanks for sharing
I really enjoyed this video. I watched a documentary on this place on Hulu last week
In the Superstition Mountains there's two minds side by side 40 ft off the ground like in a canyon it's hard to explain when you get to it it's really weird getting in it as hard rope it's been 45 years since I was there I'd like to return but it's a state park now can't dig any gold out workout going to jail
The Cactus! Oh I love that.
That was fun. I'm totally binge watching your vids trying to catch up. If you haven't already been, check out Pioneer Living History Museum off of I-17 just north of Carefree Highway. I remember going there in the 2nd grade for a field trip, probably sometime around 1975. It left a pretty good impression on me. I think it's still there.
Khayman Welch disappeared on 08-12-2020 from the Weaver's Needle Vista Viewpoint that you were at. Folks in the area be aware of your surroundings as we've found many homeless camps, and drug paraphernalia while on our searches for Mr. Welch
What is the name of the tune with that great bass line when the drone goes up for a look around?
Great show thanks Russ !
So beautiful
That was a delightful trip
Yo Russ, Very interesting video thanks again
Jacob Waltz approves of this video.
The Superstition mountains are not just the out croping by the state park. Please look at The Superstition wilderness area on a map. You been circling it for the last four videos.
You should have a thousand more thumbs up 👍. REALLY nice video. Ty.
Wow, thanks!
Much of Arizona is for the tourist industry. Need to visit that area someday
Husband's old friend lives in the Mtns there. Named big foot. Had school there to teach about living off the land
What a cool stop thanks Russ travel safe
Great video!!
If you want to see amazing desert spring bloom go to Organ Pipe National Monument. Very nice campground right in the middle of it all. Good place to take Dusty Nugget as there are 2 loops that are easy but to much offroad for the Van
Thanks for the tip!
Gotta' love "Outback America"....sign is full of bullet holes !
W A Y cool...stay safe out there. 🕊
Cool place Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
good morning find it Russ lol wouldn't it be too funny if you found it
You are living my dream life.
Think I got apple juice at mine claiming to be part of that legend. Managed to skip away from helicopter ride.
Thanx Bill.🗽👍🐂🐴
Ya need to have Walter Brennen signing in the background
I was out there a few months ago and there a car on the road ahead of me. I stopped because I thought a group of people were crossing the road. This car copies everything my car did. I was just going to chill but I couldn't leave my lights off because I felt surrounded. what was the car?
NICE... YAY !!!!!! 😁🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
The Olden Days of Yesteryear.
I can show you a cave in the Superstition Mountains B has traces of gold inside the cave not a mine the cave and the front of the cave is stacked up with rocks so you can't know that it's a cave there it's been 45 years since I've been there with my dad unbelievable place inside the cave somebody carved the date 1544 I bet I could still find it today
Looking good
Thank you! Cheers!
U should use your RV once in awhile
If you are ever driving through Texas, I would love to ride with you. I'll be quiet.
Beautiful but scary.
I noticed the shooting gallery was behind the church in Goldfield. Was that where they took the sinners? LOL.
