Anybody been here? Thanks for liking and commenting 👊🏼

[@mikesrandomvideos]

I was today ha ha. thanks to your video

[@mikesrandomvideos]

he could have never done something like that in vegas. Because he would have had to pay the mafia. back in that time Vegas was Mafia owned.

[@Surviving_patriot]

Dude try some flat earth testing. I think you’d be surprised

[@Slavador2393]

Yup, was in Zzyzx in 2000. Very interesting story and a beautiful place.

[@gardenangel51]

Great video. Love your channel. The bird is a Western Tanager, usually see them at Mt. Charleston but we have had some in Vegas this summer. ❤

[@ericofaz]

Senior, you are so blessed and a fine example for other fathers. You have raised some good sons. I love you guys.

[@user-vf3mp6lp7d]

So refreshing and cool to see young people that are interested in history.

[@debragentry2046]

I cannot express how much we love watching these adventures. It's not just where you go, it's more how you all present it. Talk about it like we are there with you. Please don't stop. Watching from Orlando FL.

[@douglaswilson3978]

Father and sons are awesome family members ❤❤❤😮😮😮 fill my heart with joy ..hats off two these three man ..cheers canada..

[@snillum]

"The government protects people from scammers" part got me 😂😂

[@riseabove3133]

Yes 😆same here.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Touchy subject because they also use this excuse for shutting people down they don’t agree with 😬

Bro the Government is the scammers.

[@arizonatadss3169]

😂🤣😂🤣I've worked for the government (US Army and Contractor) for almost 40 years, and now more than ever I feel like we're being scammed by the folks in DC

[@m.b.4328]

The Birds is called Western Tanager. Didn't read all the comments but I'm placing it here. Love going along with y'all's adventures 👍🏼

[@jamesm.5949]

At 12:30 into the video: "...the government tries to protect people from scammers..." I was expecting the next words to be "because they hate competition" !! When I was stationed in San Diego I used to drive home (to Nebraska) once a year and I remember seeing that sign for Zzyzx road and wonder what it was. I'm glad I saw this video explaining the history of that place!!

[@lauriecalkins781]

Thanks for this video. I remember when I was a student at UNLV. I would drive from Nevada to California a lot and I would always pass. zzyzx rd. This was back in 1978. I always wondered what was down that road but never went down. Thanks for a fun video.! love your Lake Mead videos too!

[@relatableguy2232]

Crazy how this channel has changed over time but I’ve been enjoying it every step of the way! Keep up the good work

[@Redbaron_sites]

Whether it healed anyone or not he did create a beautiful resort to allow people to enjoy the desert.❤

[@Ch3FTNT]

These episodes should be called “sin city investigates” 🤙🏼

[@gwenonken3174]

That was my 1st thought too or Sin City Explores History. 👍🙂

[@Ro6entX]

Agreed

[@humpday2267]

Yes

[@davidjoseph7142]

Agreed this was an unexpected and very welcome twist for the channel, I like

[@Unterrifieddragoncat]

@@davidjoseph7142yes, more like this please

[@freiermann7]

Y'all are getting better at these videos! I'm a fan. I used to go camping and shooting off that road all the time and never knew about that place. Thanks for sharing the adventure

[@elikapeka5905]

Thanks for the story telling. Im enjoying these abandoned desert places

[@daytimedreaming8307]

Really love when y'all do these videos about lost and forgotten places. Keep doing what you're doing!!!

[@CheapAngler]

Kinda funny how this channel has slowly morphed into an educational history/exploration channel. Works for me.

[@jhaedtler]

You guys always find the strangest things! I love it. Thanks!

[@cjcj5596]

The beauty of working for myself ….I can stop & watch your videos ….great history

[@guillermodelnoche]

I have driven by that road a couple of times. Cool video guys! Loved the comic questions at the beginning.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

😆

[@CindyWilson.]

Cool video, loved seeing the wildlife. Especially the Wesrern Tanger, they are such gorgeous birds. Cool to learn about him saving the little fish too. Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤

[@NorwayVestfold]

Thank you for naming the bird👍

[@G34RH34D]

I've driven past that road so many times when I used to go out to California. It always struck curiosity just the name alone.

[@ArmyRob13]

Same!

[@grimJEEPer0420]

Great Video! You guys really do produce some quality content and I know I can speak for all your subscribers when I say Thank You! I have passed that road my entire life driving from Colorado to California and have always wondered about the history!

[@riseabove3133]

Same. Always wondered about the name of that road, as I passed the signs on the freeway.

[@Ray96744]

Good to see you back! I have driven past but never to the location

[@arboristo4407]

The place looks pretty well maintained for being abandoned…it’s now the California Desert studies

[@ThePamela77]

My family has gone to White Sulfur Springs for 6 generations and Indian tribes before that. Crazy Mountains. Very Healing. ~Montana Fan

[@jerrywhite49]

Fascinating video guys, I can't believe discovery hasn't offered you a show of your own you do some excellent work out there, thank you. I plan on staying with you as long as you keep making this content..

[@sonnyflowers]

Another fabulous video! Wether you're fishing or teaching us history, I really enjoy watching you guys. Thanks!

[@chrisgardner3524]

Great content, good narration with a positive approach, always curious what this place was-thanks guys ! 👍👍👍

[@jerrykeenan1848]

MANY cultures and healers say the HOT SPRINGs help with arthritis and other ailments. He built very well, look how good the cement and buildings look. People that don't know, it get to 130 degrees there and winters can go to 32 degrees plus wind factor. It's a shame someone didn't keep it open. Thanks so much

[@joeyzampella4876]

My wife and myself loved it! Thanks guys!😊

[@gsxrfreak221]

Always a great day with a Sin City Outdoors upload. 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Happy monday guys!

Very cool story crazy history thanks for sharing

[@lvachon]

A cool history lesson and critters? I couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks again for the great video!

[@jackbelk8527]

I live on a remote hot springs. Most were developed for spas. FDR spent time at Warm Springs, GA and it was his second white house. Natural hot water from the earth is pure magic. No heating bills, either.

[@joeh88]

Been here in Vegas since 1995, I've always wanted to stop here on the many trips to California and back but have always been on a tight schedule. Thanks' for stopping to document it!

[@aaronwidder4458]

Those tarantula hawks are wicked! I live in west texas, and they get huge here! Good content as usual guys!

[@mikekelley7589]

I was stung by one as a teenager.....it's still numb/tingly in that hand (30 years later).

[@nickmccallon8520]

As always another great video, keep it up fellas I truly enjoy all the content you put out fishing, hunting or even just exploring like this one!

[@richardreimer]

@ 11:59 Sr. is a Very Good Story Teller Too. All U guys ROCK! I really enjoyed this video, You learn something NEW everyday. 👍

[@sandjaket]

Love seniors story telling! Thank you for the great videos!

[@markangelorgs.2773]

"Is that a rabbit on the road"? "Oh no it's a bush". Good thing this wasn't a hunting video. 🤣 Luv this channel.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

That bush would have gotten blasted

[@harriergr7728]

If this place had a reputation for curing baldness, looking from that distance, I thought the rabbit was Hare.

[@edwardaustin740]

I really appreciate and enjoy the channel. Thanks guys. It's greatly appreciated.

[@tommeegunn9318]

Very interesting and informative :)

[@peewee7530]

I love this channel we have driven by this road and thought "ZZYZX" what a weird name for a road. Thank you so much for giving me the info on this road. I look forward to each and every one of your videos because I know I will always learn something!!!

[@kookietherapy9398]

No way can you ever forget the name of that road.

[@lonniekruse5562]

i love the change up on your topics it keeps me wanting more . be safe we all love you guys for sure. p.s. it's like Christmas, you never know what your going to get until you click the Bell.

THANKS GUYS‼️⭐️always AWESOME 🇨🇦❤️

[@Col-Hogan]

Great video guys! My grandparents would visit the desert every year, mostly Scotty’s Castle and everything in between.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

We want to visit the castle but I heard it got damaged by a flood and their having trouble getting money to fix it

[@R1GAMBLER]

Scotty's Castle is awesome. I haven't been in years... when was it damaged?

[@michaelangelino3189]

You guys working your way to the Salton Sea? The history behind it is simply amazing. The Tahiti of the west. Thanks for the videos guys.

[@michaelhoward-rh9mv]

This was a great investigation. I’ve never heard of this place. Keep up the great content!

[@dollyhorton2579]

Very nice documentary! I hadn't heard of this place or man before. In north Texas, the town of Mineral Wells was a very popular health spa in the 20s and 30s. The water that came from the natural springs do contain minute levels of lithium, and people with mental and psychological problems apparently did find some relief due to drinking the water. Today, you can find bottled mineral water from Mineral Wells, Texas, called 'Crazy Water', the same water that was claimed to cure crazy people and improve overall health. Also, there was a hotel in Mineral Wells called The Crazy Water Hotel. It later became a retirement/nursing home but I think it might be closed down now, not sure.

[@dfwdave5999]

Crazy Water hotel is still open. We have had a new years eve party there for several years.

[@cecoya]

The "gift of gab" is what a lot of people call it from back in the day. The ability to talk others into doing stuff they would not do. This was interesting never personally heard of this place or the person behind it's making. I know there are people that believe the hot springs are healing but to me it is like a communal bath and that doesn't interest me. Some great info about that chub fish and how inadvertently he saved them. He did some good. Thanks for sharing and have a great day

[@PeterGreter]

What a great history lesson! You guys are amazing. All the years passing that exit and had no idea! Thank you!

[@Temptd2]

LOVE your channel, we wait for new episodes to come out! We have Western Tanagers visiting our yard in the last week or so - we're "across the river" in BHC. You all make great videos, easy to watch, always informative, and love to see the three of you men out on your adventures.

Moved here in 94. Been wondering about this and the old waterpark on the side of the road for years. Thanks for making these videos. Can you use drone footage to get an overview of areas?

[@MatafiedGaming]

I’ve seen this road so many times driving back and forth from Vegas to CA. Nice to see what’s finally over there. Thanks for the upload SCO! 🎉

[@CONTAINERMAN68]

Do you guys need a real spooky ghost story to check out? In Nevada, there is a road that while it was being built, a lot of deaths occurred. It used to be numbered US-666, but I believe it's been renumbered to US-491! A lot of truckers used to drive it at night before it was renumbered, and they had a lot of creepy and spooky ghost stories, about it!

[@SinCityOutdoors]

I’ll check it out

[@ev574]

That would be a good idea for the upcoming spooky season

[@irvingjohnson9244]

I've driven it back then. For sure.

My dad and I used to stop on that road on our way back to California from Vegas this vid is screams my childhood

[@FarmFreshIB]

There were a lot of people into mineral springs and healing waters. Some of the spring have magnesium in them. Epsom salts soak work because it does absorb and help inflammation. Kellogg ... The cereal guy was into healing. Hot spring Arkansas has lots of healing springs. Missouri is home to a few as well. The Elms is a fancy hotel north of Kansas City. It still operates as a luxury hotel and spa but it started as as healing mineral springs.

[@MrandMrsBurns]

Just like Pluto Water in French Lick, Indiana. Home of basketball great Larry Bird. It’s still in operation and has a huge, grand old hotel that offers high tea.

[@charlesmichaelpaiz135]

I've passed by that sign probably 100's of times and never knew about any of this. WOW. I really thoroughly enjoyed. Your channel is so informative and entertaining. Thank you. You guys are Great.

[@goldenrod3215]

Great video. Ive passed by that off ramp a hundred times. We always would laugh at the name. I never knew the story behind it. WOW, thanks alot for the info. Its trippy to think about what that guy did. On the way to vegas next time, im stopping by. Thx again. SCO......

[@strttrple765rs4]

My folks live in Vegas.. and I always see this sign, and wondered… Thank you for sharing! You guys are awesome..!

Awesome 👏

[@MrTarzan2day]

I've driven by that sign and always wondered. This sign now, for me, is a sign that I took a wrong turn!! Thanks guys!!!

[@liftshootblaze42069]

Was stationed at Ft Irwin from 94-98. Never even checked out Zzyzx Rd

[@tomschmitz8884]

I love it that you guys are doing more "adventures" And showing us around the old West. I love the fission and the cooking too but this is a fantastic wrinkle for your arsenal. Keep up the good work fellas. Take care!

[@tomschmitz8884]

*I love the fishing! Some fission would probably be cool too. ;)

Great video…. I’ve watched your videos on the low lake levels, fishing etc…. You guys present great content….educational, informative and entertaining…. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@shaneb4923]

AMAZING WORK!! VERY COOL!! Thank You For All You Guys Do.

[@Erika702Vegas]

First of all, thanks to your channel honestly me and my two sons have taken upon ourselves to go out and explore a little we’ve gone fishing. It was so much fun and we plan on going again and it’s nice that in this day and age when everybody’s always so busy, doing their own thing to see a family like yours doing things together, enjoying the outdoors. You guys bring us along on your journeys and it’s greatly appreciated the hard work, and the time that you put into your videos. This video in particular is very interesting, especially because I have lived in Vegas for the past six years I born and raised in Los Angeles but I go back-and-forth all the time and of course, I always see that exit off of the highway, but never had the guts to get off and go look. It was a little scary for me as a single mom I just didn’t wanna do that alone so I appreciate the video is very interesting and I look forward to seeing many more videos.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Glad you guys are experiencing the outdoors

[@mrnobody3161]

It's wise to be cautious. Take care.

[@bBROCKSTARR]

You got most of the story correct. It’s run by the cal state university system now for 40yrs and has never been abandoned. Students and researchers use the facilities year round. Workers live and work here.

[@maryriha]

Someone is taking care of that place. I’ve seen other videos where the foliage was overgrown and the buildings were trashed, probably by kids, none looked fit for occupancy. Glad it’s being taken care of now.

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

In the year 2000 my friends and I slept in the desert right off of ZZYZX road. It was like 120° during the day and it only got down to 95° that night. We were pretty much sleeping in our boxers on top of our sleeping bags. Thanks for bringing you back such awesome memories, I'll never forget walking around at the desert pitch black in our boxers. 😂

[@robshaw-j4o]

My grandfather lived there during the final years of his life in the late 1960's. My husband and I visited there about 10 years ago to check it out. We took alot of pictures. It was an interesting place!

[@Tony-G]

Bravo. Well done!

[@69JJV]

Great family Love you guys.

[@ev574]

I have passed that road so many times and would have never known the history of that area thank you

[@YAMR1M]

THAT WAS INTERESTING... We passed that road last year on our road trip. We came from the UK to tour from San Francisco, Yosemite, Sequoia, Death Valley, Grand Canyon and on to Moab then back to Las Vegas and then PCH back to San Francisco. We kayaked in Lake Powell and did the Hoover Dam tour and loved the whole area. 6 epic weeks but I really remember passing ZZYZX Road sign and wondered what was down there... You filled in that gap and that was really interesting to see. Cheers Guys.. Big fan from the UK..

[@whip-its_dad4239]

Cool video guys . I've seen that road for years but never had any idea what was out there . Thank you .

[@JB-mk4ry]

Awesome video! Definitely do more history videos in the non hunting/fishing times.

[@markthompson7503]

I have driven past there dozens of times and these videos are awesome. One day we might have to stop by and see it in person.

[@gregkerr725]

At about 7:25 into the video Ju Ju is not paying attention because he's staring at the pond wondering if there are any 8 pound bass in there!

[@SinCityOutdoors]

😆

[@volvo09]

They'd get pretty big eating those chubb. I wonder if bass would even wipe them out?
