When I was in BSA, we used to do a yearly camp out there, where we would do activities with cub scouts looking to advance (think bribing cub scouts to join our troop). My first ever trip there, when l was advancing, we partnered with the georgetown college football team to excavate the basement. Football guys brought us buckets of sand, while we sifted it. We found old china, porcelein figurines, a few squirrel skeletons, etc. On my last trip there, was another guy's eagle project. We helped move shingles from the old roof down to the basement. That had sat in the attic for so long, the floor was starting bow under them, being slate. In fact the side of the attic with the bed frame, was where we removed the shingles from.

i adore Wardhall and Ron. my family has been touring since Ms Susong gave tours in the 80s. i recently completed a recreation of Sallie’s dress in that portrait as well 😊 so glad you loved the tour!!!

Living in Roy. 33miles north

Still love Andy Griffith!! ❤️

While the Andy Griffith show was transmitted in homes across America, just a few counties over in the Deep South was a real tall walking American Sheriff. Buford Pusser’s real life saga was a contrast to make believe. While we enjoyed the cleverly scripted comedy Andy and Barney portrayed in every episode. Real Sheriffs had hot messes in their jurisdictions. I just seen a documentary about Buford Pusser, and noticed the dates correspond in the 60’s… Not to leave out the nameless Sheriffs in the south that would at their “discretion” pull over cars with out of state plates to ask the driver; “Do you know where you are?” You’re in a heap of trouble…

Love your videos 😊

Interesting comment "useless war for the south"

Nice, very nice. I really enjoy traveling with you across the country. 😊

I have never seen a practice, thank you for sharing.

I stumbled into a most unique opportunity to have an extensive tour of this building a number of years ago. The building is so large, sometimes navigating around it is like a maze. Got to tour all above the ceiling you showed in your video. Having once upon a time in my life being a stage manager, I was in total awe to the extent of the staging, sound system, structure as a whole. Absolutely stunning tour, one I will never ever forget. It really takes a team of people to put together an event in there and they do a stunning-amazing job with it. And the structure is built for so much variety. The history of how it evolved is equally impressive to know, watch, and follow. A huge problem they had is with the sound system. The space was so large that you had serious problems with reverbing echoes. They had to figure a way to equalize the sound which actually took a few years to finally tune it in right. Even at that there are still a few dead spots, but mostly on the stage area. I would love to work with those challenges and do that kind of thing once again.

Ya Hots is the correct pronunciation.

I always enjoy visiting presidential museums. They are always so interesting.

I love, love, love the conference center soooooooooooooo much and hope my hubby and I can get tickets to go to conference in a few days.

Thank you so much for posting this.❤

That was so great to see your perspective. I was one of the singers up there. This video appeared organically in my KZbin recommendations and I’m glad it did.

"We invite you to stay as long as you would like." Ha, he forgot to say "...until we close."

Oh, my sister Gina Bench is up there! She had been in the choir for about a year and a half by this time (but her first Music and the Spoken Word came later in 2023, April 23; though not in general conference until October), and I was there on Sunday the 4th when they performed THIS program! Some of Gina's and my FAVORITE spiritual songs, especially My Shepherd...! And then I watched their Sunday rehearsal between M/SW and my church meetings. And now, with the September '24 release of additional hymns for the new book, we learn that this My Shepherd song will be in it! --Mike A. Christensen

I loved that you showed all that wonderful art in the Conference Center. That's what we're all about. We're The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is everything to us.

Thank you so much. As a fan of the choir this is exactly what I've always wanted to see.

avoid calling us Mormon

It’s Mormon*, but glad you had a fun time!

The Spirit of God is truly at work. Absolutely beautiful

Thank you for focusing on this world renowned choir. But you need to know two things: The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, the choir’s correct name, has never rehearsed in the Temple. It rehearses in the Conference Center during the summer because of the size of the crowds who want to observe. I hope you truly enjoyed the privilege of being there.

Wow! Just beautiful! You can definitely feel the Spirit, even during practice. His prayer really touched my heart. I absolutely love the Tabernacle choir!

I love this! Thanks for sharing mpre things about the building. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I listen to Music and the Spoken Word most Sundays. The episode they were practicing for here is August 4th's: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4Kum6Khfpifb8U&pp=ygUnbXVzaWMgYW5kIHRoZSBzcG9rZW4gd29yZCBhdWd1c3QgNCAyMDI0 I have gotten to see the Conference Center a few times but not when anyone was using it, and I have only attended one live broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word before. In two more weekends the church is having its twice-yearly General Conference... anyone anywhere in the world is welcome to tune in to any part of it and hear this choir and also true prophets and apostles called by God to share with us what the Lord is saying for our upcoming six months especially! www.churchofjesuschrist.org/feature/general-conference?lang=eng I love that you were able to visit the area! My parents were married in the Salt Lake temple back when, and we are excited for the open house for the public to see it, and then its dedication for use by members of the church, when the renovations are finished in another year or two.

thanks for sharing

Have you ever driven on the madera canyon road towards the livermoore trailhead?

I think I saw where you two had visited "This is the Place" monument, if that was not it, then it looked similar. Back in the 1980-s '90's, I knew an elderly man whose mother was one of the original Hand Cart pioneers. Thank you for your wonderful channel! That owl is gorgeous! Just amazing!

Why is it called Antelope Island?

There’s so much more to Brookings than what you see here, we have several incredible beaches within our town and many more all along the southern Oregon coast. Chetco point should not be missed if you visit this area. There are also many great hiking trails in the area. There are also two state parks with fantastic campgrounds in Brookings, Loeb state park is a couple miles up the Chetco River and Harris Beach state park is at the north end of town right on Pacific Ocean. Both parks are typically full in the summer and you definitely want to get reservations in advance, although the spring and fall are very nice weather and much less crowded. There are several charter fishing boats that operate out of the harbor as well the rock fish are always around, salmon and even tuna if you’re lucky enough to be here at the right time.

It's a shame, but a wonderful old restaurant in Boise has closed. I can't remember if it was Cantonese, or Chinese, but it was there since the 1940's or '50's. It was a Chinese version of a coffee shop restaurant, long rows of booths, but they had the best food. Probably why they were in business for so long, only until recent. I saw a post about it on my FB page, I only lived in Idaho briefly, many years ago.

plus 1992!

Loading up Since 1991! 4 The Recreation!

I served st Ft Leavenworth as a guard in the USDB 1974-1976. You missed a great experience to walk through the old prison. They coverted the inmate visitors room into a cafe. Missing is the Castle, who's dome you could see as you crossed the bridge from Missouri.

When you've been through major earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, drought, fires, tornadoes, you know that the rain is cleansing and the air is clean to breath. I've never complained about rain here for 40 years. Brings beauty

If you can plan ahead, check out Rasar State Park which is nearby. A far nicer park and reasonably priced compared to KOA.

Arid you say ? I thought you were in Arizona 😯

I believe it’s Grandy Creek Thousand trails in Birdsview, WA.

KOA is not associated with Thousand Trails. TT have the worst maintained campgrounds.

Your visuals in this video are quite good. But I had a hard time understanding the comments being made; audio sounded a tad muffled. Thank you for posting this video; it answered several questions (one in particular) that I needed answered before I ventured out to the observatory; none of the other videos I watched or McDonald information websites answered my specific question. In response to a couple of your questions >>> A radio telescope is one that studies the radio frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum. An optical telescope, by contrast, is one that studies light wave parts of the spectrum. The HET telescope at McDonald is an optical telescope. There doesn't seem to be any information at the McDonald websites indicating what the other telescopes are used for. A VLBA that you read off of a sign (10:47 to 11:10) is a method by which you can magnify incoming light, by using multiple telescopes simultaneously in different parts of the world. The distance between these telescopes allows you to see farther into space and to see more detail in studied objects.

I have a few videos on my page of tips for riding the San Juan island ferries. (Will save you time and trouble!)

I think those red berries are salmon berries.

You guys are already in 2026 ? How does the future look like ? 😉

Your video brought me down memory lane ❤ Since you’re there keep going to Neah bay.

I used to live in WS absolutely beautiful. Lived out on a lake on the Pugent Sound ❤

Love it

Ban commercial jet boating on the rogue river!!!

this is actually harbor, not brookings

I am almost 61, spent my early childhood summer nights, watching Disneyland fireworks, alone while hanging on my backyard fence. 4th of July all Summer! Very nice memories brought back, those fireworks there reminded me!
