Have you checked out Dulce NM yet? I hear strange things about that place

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

No this is actually my first time hearing about it. I’ll look it up. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@jamessanchez6027]

Cool videos! So interesting to see abandoned places are all those in the Tucumcari area always went there as a kid to visit the grandparents I remember the La Cita the big sombrero

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

Actually most of what I filmed was in San Jon and Wheatland, the Tucumcari stuff was what I was saying I needed to go back for. There is so much out there! Thank you for commenting James!

[@ghostkingkong30]

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

@@ghostkingkong30 bro I was literally thinking that the whole time

[@dianadean4960]

I would love for your dream to come true! You sure don't see phone books like that anymore. I love the stonework on the school. OMG! That voice you captured! WOW!!!! As always, beautiful scenery and some neat places. Great video!

[@DirtyRed-Gaming]

Wow cool stuff bro I love the paranormal stuff

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

It’s super fun, I have a week or two of camping and then I’m planning on doing some ghost hunts for October. Should be a fun few weeks coming up on the channel.

[@DirtyRed-Gaming]

I’ll tune in for it

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

@@DirtyRed-Gaming much appreciated. I’m trying to walk across the country next year abs raise a million dollars for charity so all the support on this channel helps. I’ll jump in some madden streams soon

[@delmaverick1890]

Hey 👋 just found your videos, my wife and I love to explore and go on adventures. We’re Albuquerque home based but travel a lot. Car camp, hike, ghost hunt, metal detect adventures.

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

That’s awesome! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I’m always looking for recommendations so if you guys have some favorite places let me know!

[@CindyPowers-nv3zl]

You should do a New Mexico restaurant review. I'm definitely paying attention to your recommendations.

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

I have stopped at some great places too. I love stopping and supporting local places to eat. Thank you so much! This feedback is important to me.

[@monicaduke2762]

I spent every break from school in Tucumcari with my grandparents! My grandfather was a truck driver for CF which is Consolidated Freight ways I think but then medically retired a few years later but stayed in Tucumcari they loved it there I did too as a kid but recently went through there it was so sad their house was dilapidated and Ugg so sad! BTW I am totally addicted to your channel James thanks for doing your videos!!!

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

Thank you for watching my videos! I’m actually in Tucumcari again this week I was driving around Main Street and went by the movie theater etc it was really really quiet and everything was closed

[@tbucket9367]

The school....I lived near it for 12 years. The sink as you first walked in is not original. Those two rooms were offices, later used as a polling place. The basketball hoop is definitely not original as I put that hoop/backboard up in 1970 or so. I never saw/ heard any spirits. If you really want to know when the fire happened, I can ask the owners.

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

What was it like living out there?

[@tbucket9367]

@@WhatsUpWithJames Quiet and peaceful. The kids in Wheatland, and surrounding area, went to school at Grady; about 8 miles south. There were 11 people in Wheatland at one time. I think the house you were in, my old place, is the only one left standing. Most of the flooring in the gym was stolen years ago. My bus driver lived directly east of the house. Great people. My typing teacher and one classmate lived at the other end of town. I still call my typing teacher once a year or so to check on her health. She is a wonderful person. The folks who own the town are still my neighbors and still live in the area. They are really good people. FWIW, I buried a small treasure box in the front yard. Gotta find it one day.

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

@@tbucket9367 that is so cool! I’m super glad that I found you through this video and get the chance to interact with you. You can definitely find out more about places by talking to the people who lived in them. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@tbucket9367]

There were two barns and a windmill on the west side of the house. There was a janitor's home in back of the school. Buses had a semi-circular pathway so they could drop kids off in front. That pathway was lined with a short wall, maybe 2 feet tall, made of the same rock as the school. There were also stanchions, also made of the same rock, about 4' tall at each end of the driveway (on both sides) and in front of the front doors. Maybe 8 total. At one time there was a post office/store north of the school. Those folks moved out in (guessing) 74 or so.

[@CindyPowers-nv3zl]

Where did you get the maple syrup?

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

Believe it or not just at Walmart in the syrup aisle. It was like $7 but I’m thinking about trying to make chicken and waffles while I’m camping one day and that syrup seems like it would be the perfect compliment to that.

[@burronorteno]

i played your video again at fast speed and i thought i heard a child named mateo calling for help. maybe he was murdered at the school. see if you hear it too.

[@WhatsUpWithJames]

I will check it out. Do you know about what time? Was it while I was using the spirit box?

[@burronorteno]

@@WhatsUpWithJames yes
