Favorite smell? The desert after it rains...

[@SeabeeTraveler]

I agree Peter, Since I was a kid growing up in Quartzsite it has been one of my favorites. Have a wonderful day!

Blessing to have a comfy cabin to rest inside out of the elements, murals are a bonus for sure. I am sure that even with a teachers contract if the right man came along the teacher would kick the nun teachers contract habit. Very cool little town.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Bosslady, Yes, I was glad to get the cabin that night. I rained most of the night and had AC.😁 Have a great day!

[@Bossladyone2]

@@SeabeeTraveler It is a great day still vertical and breathing counting blessings, thanking God for helping me do the things I need to do. Thank you for the videos. Its fun to travel along with you without physically being there.

Ice cream shop used to be a Dairy Queen. Went there all the time on our way up to Mt Graham in early 60’s. Still has great DQ like ice cream.😊

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Roxanne, That's good to know. Next time I'm there I will stop and have an ice cream. Thank you for sharing and have a great day!

[@ararepenny2739]

Thank you so much for this. I made Tucson Arizona my home in 1986 because I fell in love with the beauty of the desert and mountains. I am glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing!

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi rarepenny, Your welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun visit to a new place. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!

[@cardscarl]

Always wonderful seeing your videos Randy and the excitement photography. Looking forward to more.

[@joyouslily2982]

We took the Amtrak from Chicago to Grand Junction Colorado and yes it was cool & very interesting! Try it sometime 😁

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Joyouslily, I think that would be a fun trip and will definitely try it sometime. Have a great week!

R&R Pizza is actually a really good place to eat! The "Christmas Tree Stand" actually is connected to threaded rod. When tightened down. it helps hold the building together.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Peggy, The threaded rod make sense now that you mention it. I'll check out R&R pizza next time I pass thru. Thanks for the recommendation and have a great week!

[@Zap652]

Wow, That's a neat little town. Thanks for sharing

[@SeabeeTraveler]

You're welcome, Have a good one!

[@michaele.ebright8834]

A must see, VERY interesting sites to see when your there, enjoy

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Michaele, Thanks and have a wonderful day!

[@johnschneider6664]

Thanks, that was very cool. You are right about stepping back in time for one day. My sister and I really enjoyed this one. The murals and teachers contract. Thanks

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi John, Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. The contract was very interesting to see. Have a great week and we'll see ya on the next one!

[@jofleury2982]

You were correct when you said Monsoon season, it is early this year & up north & the east have been hit. Here in Glendale we are praying to get some rain! Thank you for your videos! Am glad you ended up in a cabin. KOA's are great.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Jofleury, I'm glad you enjoy the videos and hope the rain comes your was soon. I like the KOA experience, especially on some longer trips. I tend to mix it up with some boondocking as well. Thank you and have great day!

[@lloydbaker6988]

Thanks again, Randy, Your videos are awesome 👍

[@ChollaJJ]

Interesting town, Benson ! Amtrak station was a laugher 😵‍💫🥳. Also, the San Pedro river area ….Fairbank, a mining town ? What type mine I wonder…….The old west….. Thanks again 🤠👍

[@SeabeeTraveler]

ChollaJJ, Fairbank started out as a milling site to process the ore from the mines near Tombstone and surrounding areas. Before that they had to send all the ore back east to process, so it was a huge time saver. Interesting history. Thanks again.

[@cardscarl]

Randy thanks for another wonderful video. Great video on the murals. As you panned across the first one I thought the painted on guy was real. See ya later

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Cardscarl, Thank you for the kind words and the Super Thanks. I really do appreciate the support. Have a great week!

[@thatkajunguy8029]

Well I commented on your post that this video was taken down..... I watched it Saturday evening and it was fine so.... Anyway I enjoyed this video, the little ghost town and as always it was fun to tag along with you...... See you here next time 😂

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Thanks Kajunguy, I enjoyed getting out to explore it. Have a good day and we'll see ya on the next one.

[@briannave7326]

Interesting video. If you go to the Find a Grave site, the Fairbank Az cemetery is there and it has a lot of the grave sites and names.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Briannave, Thank you for letting me know about that site. Than could be helpful in the future. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

[@katarinaericka-kristavonbr7000]

It’s funny how the term monsoon gets miscarries or loses its meaning it simply means reversing or changing of the wins seasonally meaning in India, where the term comes from the winds normally come from the north over the Himalayan into the rest of the subcontinent known as India, in a summertime, the wins reverse and come from the Indian oceanbring lots of higher dewpoint and when they crash against the Himalayan, which are extremely tall squeezes out causing mass amount of rain, but monsoon has nothing to do with rain. It has to do with the changing of the winds.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Katarina, That is interesting. When the season starts for us the storms come from the east instead of the west like the rest of the year. So that makes sense. Thank you for sharing that and have a great day!

Wow! That's some cool family history. He seems like he was pretty tough guy and probably had some good stories to tell. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

The metal X pieces are on both ends of a rod that goes through the building on both ends to stabilize horizontal stress. Masonry building have tremendous vertical strength but not so much horizontal strength. I have seen these items on several of your videos. Many are more decorative.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Hi Ken, I'm always learning new things on these trips and appreciate the input. Thank you for sharing and have a great day!

[@kenbyers8036]

@@SeabeeTraveler I’m afraid that I may be too blunt and rude. I get so focused I forget I’m dealing with a person. Please don’t take offense and I’ll work at this. I enjoy your videos very much. We lived in Arizona for 70 years then moved to Arkansas. Your videos take us home.

@@kenbyers8036 No offense taken Ken. I appreciate the input. See ya on the next one!
