Truck Camping Solo - Crazy Caves & A Historic Kansas Mill

[@joyceb5864]

A spring house was a small structure built over a spring coming from the ground to make a natural refrigerator. The cool water flowing through was cold enough to refrigerate things like glass milk jugs, butter, cheese, buttermilk, etc. My grandparents used one. In the hot summer we loved to visit the spring house because it was so cool. We would pick watermelons from the field and put them in the water in the spring house to chill before eating them. They would also put a glass milk jug in the well bucket and lower it into the well water in the summertime to keep the milk fresh.

This is such an awesome video! Thanks for taking us there with you while the gas is so high priced lol. I love old historic places like this and would've loved to have lived back then other than no creature comforts like we have today lol. That old mill was great and the volunteer fire dept too. My dad was a volunteer while I was growing up. I saw SVFD and said THERE'S A VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT before you said it lol. Take care and keep cranking out the videos!

@Joyce B What fond memories you have! Going to grandma's house is always fun filled learning journeys and with handmade experiences. ❤❤❤😇

[@DavidHaft1970]

Thanks!

[@CrazyQuady]

You bet!

[@artm6723]

A full hour? Hell yeah! I just cracked a cold one, grilled up some pork chops and now I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the show! That rock must've done something pretty bad to get locked up for so long!

[@CrazyQuady]

ooh pork chops sound great, I haven't had any for a long time

[@wendysue9042]

Suddenly, I'm craving pork chops.....

[@duncansbuddy]

[@CrazyQuady]

[@iloveamerica3917]

This was a great video. I love watching you drive around the Midwest, make food in the back of your truck and explore natural areas that are peaceful and beautiful.

[@danielforrester3039]

[@peterman3737]

Love your videos man. The truck camping alone is what brought me here but I love how you also show history and cool things like this!

[@lornamartin8422]

I love that you bring education wherever you go random places with headstones and you read the signs and you educate us amazing thank you

[@RearEngineShop]

Something awesome to watch on this stormy Saturday night! Thank you sir. 🤙

[@betzaidavazquez5579]

Traveling through history with Quady is a Must See !!! Thanks for taking us on the road with you and sharing 🚙👍

[@2fast65]

You do a great job with all your videos but this one is probably the most interesting with the mill and the old town thanks for sharing the history have a great day be safe and keep up the great videos.

[@johnwilkins7062]

The caves and mill where great to see. Thank you

[@MaribelLopez-jt4xw]

When I see you eat I think of my bachelor brother’s concoctions: crunches chips&hot sauce and anything else around on everything. He’ll fry bologna until the outside gets crispy. 😊

[@bigtex7311]

It’s awesome how the valley roller is not vandalized. Not sure what kind of security they have there being that he walked right in? If there isn’t any, it’s nice to see that it is well kept and respected!

[@joycehook4832]

I just looked up the Valkommen Trail Bridge...that looks like a fun walk. So much history in places like that. Thanks Crazy.

[@Joserocha-wm9de]

47:31 Well deserved cold one after bringing us along and showing all that cool stuff , thx for sharing... cheers 🍻🍻

[@michaelnoakes8566]

That's what is so cool about your channel; you find the most awesome places that nobody normally sees. Never stop brother.

[@channellady9905]

CrazyQuady, you should have went to Coronado Heights while you were in Lindsborg. You should check it out, there is more to Kansas than you would ever think.

[@wendysue9042]

Love the full hour!! The mill was super interesting. Amazing times back then-- It's amazing what they could with what they had. Who knew there was all this interesting stuff in Kansas??

[@Anne-x6iShotz]

How totally fascinating this is. You are the only one who brings history to your camping trips and makes them awesome. Just all around amazing. You are one of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure of watching here on KZbin. Special. Thank you for the tour. Enjoy you CQ Mike.

[@christajohnson9528]

You make my day! Saw this new video and I immediately played it. You are so easy to watch and in some ways comforting. Thanks for all you do. Stay safe and so glad you love what you do. Just keep being you!

[@sharonjames1255]

Hey Quady! Love this video! I really like it that you look for, and usually find, historical and interesting sites to explore in your videos! My husband watched part of this one with me. He's also watched another one with me. He doesn't usually have time to do so. But he liked the two he has watched.

[@raydick9080]

thx for recommending expedition overland, going to binge watch it right after your show big fan from germany love your vids

[@CrazyQuady]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@vapinmoody3417]

That is incredible how they could engineer a mill that long ago with wood and leather belts....WOW...thanks for the video content Crazy

[@guadalupecordova5214]

Thank you for taking us along I love to see where you off to

[@929cbr_rr]

A great way to end my saturday evening: and hour vid from the Crazy Q-man. Very creative intro, you're really stepping up your game. 100K subscribers is right around the corner ! Enjoyed the vid from the state I grew up in.

[@CrazyQuady]

Much appreciated!

[@lisabarnes2477]

You should invest in some condiment packets to keep in your truck for times like this when you don't have anything for the sandwiches

[@glentucker5819]

Thanks for the videos. I appreciate the little Preview at the beginning you’ve been adding. Great content. Interesting and unique stuff.

[@economicdoom]

A camping channel and some history love it!

[@fayeteater4644]

Sure gald to see you back ❤️ I sure miss your vedio when you are not on here that for sure I told my friend about you and now he watching you 🙏 to so hope to see more of you on here Faye from Tx ❤️❤️

[@dalaimommadrama8929]

I don't know if it's just a Mexican thing but we like our bologna grilled a little and rolled up in a corn tortilla with melty cheese and then before every bite, dunk in salsa.....soooooo good.

[@jasonmeador7861]

I definitely fry the bologna on bread with cheese. Pretty much the same thing...

[@dalaimommadrama8929]

@@jasonmeador7861 once you eat it fried...it's hard to want it cold anymore.

[@CrazyQuady]

Bologna on a tortilla!? I'm gonna have to try that

[@dalaimommadrama8929]

[@pamreid7631]

You take us to the most interesting places. Love, love, love it! Thank you!

[@RobertStroupe]

That was an awesome adventure. Enjoyed the old village and the mill. Thanks for sharing! 😳👍🇺🇸

[@ritawilson8762]

My Mom was raised in Kansas. She said houses were built over spring to cool the house. She had a cousin that lived in one in Kansas.

[@CrazyQuady]

That's not a practice I would've ever expected, I'd be afraid of humidity and mold

[@hollyondrias602]

Ever have ground bologna?! Not sure if it’s a Michigan thing but all you do is get some good beef bologna (we use Kogels it’s a Michigan company and they make the best hotdogs) but grind the bologna up add claussen pickles or dill pickles and sweet or vidala onions as your grinding the bologna. When all done grinding add mayo or miracle whip. Yummmmmmmmyyyyy!!!!! Make a nice thick sammich or put it n crackers!!!!

[@flattire4243]

That sounds pretty good 😀👍

[@hollyondrias602]

It's the best!!!

[@4thHorsemanGaming]

I bet that building was loud and somewhat dangerous while in operation. With all those belts going. Thanks for another cool video.

[@CrazyQuady]

I'm sure it was, imagine if a belt snapped and started flopping around 😬

[@6StringsOfSalvation]

I watch a lot of motorcycle videos but I am enjoying yours even more and you are very good at making them you inform us of what we are seeing and you have a gift for sharing the feeling of your experiences and that is what KZbin is it's experiences being shared and you do it generously with how talk to us. Thanks for sharing with us all

[@tracker5849]

Look at the woodworking craftmanship.....EVERYTHING IS WOOD

[@ginny691]

Wow flippin awesome old mill, beautiful wood. Love the stone walls. The horse probably drew those carriages, how neat is that. What an Awesome place.

[@seymourwrasse3321]

a spring house is a "refrigerator", the cool water and thick walls or ground kept it cool enough to keep perishables cool in the summer, and from freezing in the winter

[@twistyfish721]

Spring house is referring to the water you were seeing. We have em alot in the Northeast mountains fresh spring water coming out of the ground is found people put a pipe in it to control it then build a little or big box around it.

[@valeriedurr4438]

Do you have a very calming voice I enjoy watching you go to these places and tell me about history thank you for cheering me up

[@sandracrawford2594]

I somehow missed this video I was strolling through your stuff I'm going to remember seeing this one. This is cool I love to look at your history stuff that happened before you know when I was born in nineteen fifty-five anything back that way love you. Hopefully one of these days I get to come up and see Wisconsin Wyoming and Nebraska.😊

[@roberttozser1975]

Awesome vid Mr.Quady... keep em coming!! That Mill house was sweet..

[@Patrick-460]

Hey Mike welcome to McPherson County that's where I live. the mill runs the first weekend in May they actually do make flour there Have a great weekend.

[@CrazyQuady]

I wish I would've know that before I went there and I would've waited to go see it

[@mugsy0413]

Thanks for the awesome tour!! My ancestry is Swedish so I really enjoyed it. I love anything history and the mill was amazing! Can't wait to see the castle!

[@stacynissley7336]

Isn’t it crazy that they just close something and walk away. The fact that all the stuff is still in the mill is amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@seymourwrasse3321]

once they got the grain at the top of the mill, it was all down hill from there, they used gravity to do some of the work

[@rosannemassman4560]

"Välkommen" is Swedish for "Welcome"... (I'm 1/2 Swedish & German). 💕.

[@richroj]

Mike, this video is amazing. it looks like an underground spring. I think this goes back to the middle ages!! Mike, you find the best places.

[@emily8damorataya293]

Wow! I enjoyed this video so much cool history field trip 😎

[@channellady9905]

I love Lindsborg, it is a neat little town to visit.

[@scrawford8069]

Thanks soooo much for the tour of the mill, it is absolutely amazing. To see that thing in action must of been mind blowing.

[@chrishorst6993]

Valkommen in Swedish,Norwegian and Danish means “Welcome”. The Culligan soft water tanks were what they used to bring to your house. When it was empty they swapped it for a full one. This was back in the early 70’s

[@maryayers9839]

A spring house is where years ago they made them around there spring for water to run in they also kelp there milk butter in them.

[@janetleikam6466]

That was freaking AWESOME!!!!

Never had Lizard King before, but glad to hear Pipeworks Brewing has made it out that far west. Cheers from Chicago!

[@marywalker4582]

Can you imagine how loud that mill was when it was in full operation ? Wow... I love videos like this that showcase local interests. 👍 That taxidermy horse was creepy though. Lol

Really cool old town. That old mill was super cool. It would be awesome to see that train restored and better displayed. Awesome vid bro, keep em coming

[@Lady_A.R]

What a beautiful day to sojourn this landmark. Thank you for taking us along. I enjoyed it. I took notice of the castle-like edifice and see mildew growing. That property may have been a natural river much larger than what we see today. More than likely people built their homes near this river that began drying up. Quite interesting. P.S. Next time you visit that place write on the chalkboard the year you have visited. LOL

[@debrastark5542]

A spring house is a cold storage. Love your show, my dad was from Wichita.

[@SeanNewhouse-mv9ez]

Those people do love their caves ive noted i do find them quite interesting and would be fun to camp at Well off the beaten path sounds right for KS I like that they got these quite decent patchy areas of woodland which look alluring for camping, oklahoma def' has its share of it inc roadsides

Everything looks clean and maintained.

[@iMiker62]

“Spring House” The point of the springhouse was to provide a cool space and fresh water. Stone-lined channels or tanks were carefully engineered to take full advantage of running or spring water. These would enable the dairy-women to cool milk and other perishable food items.

[@jasonmeador7861]

Where they had the 1904 world's fair is now forest park it's a very cool huge city park with the world's best free zoo!!

My dad grew up there and I went to a family reunion there in 1980....I was 10. Have been back twice in the last 5 years.
