My father was a Marine in World War II and was stationed in California for a short time before he went to the Pacific Campaign. He told me he was invited to Gene Autry's ranch for a barbeque one weekend during the time he was stationed in California. Gene Autry would hold barbeques for a bunch of the service people every weekend or so. My father said there was a huge whole pig roasting in a pit and Gene Autry was there and he made all the service people feel welcomed.
Paul Towarnicki Its interesting because prior to WW2 Gene Autry was bigger that Roy Rogers. But the when war broke out Gene enlisted and wasn't making films then. That's when Roy's popularity sky rocketed and then was bigger than Gene even after Gene got out of the military.
Very unique and interesting. One thing I really like is those homeowners don’t have any grass or weeds to contend with!! I LOVED the purple cactus!! Very Cool Video! ThanksJordan! 🤙
Very interesting! We have a town named Gene Autry here in Oklahoma. They named it in hopes it would entice him to live there and build something like this set there.
Amazing Vlog Jordan I love old American towns and ghost towns. My son and I went to Hualapai Range the best Ribs,range beans. Joshua trees amazing. . You need a cowboy hat.Thanks for taking us to the old West,really enjoyed it
I wouldn't mind living in a ghost town. Never knew this existed. I learn and travel so much with your vlogs. Unfortunately car rentals main thing is to get as much money from you through upgrades. That is how they make their money. I know because I worked for a car rental place years ago. I'm glad you stood your ground. I remember years ago that credit cards had car insurance but customer only knew if they called the credit card companies. Not sure about now. Another great vlog. Peace to you and Jah
I used to work for a car rental co. YEARS ago...they always try to up sell. You can check with your your credit card co. You should be covered with them. Also...depending on the value of your own vehicle...if its stationary while your using the rental car...your own insurance will cover you....NEVER take the insurance if you dont have to.
That place has really grown! I haven't been out there since 1999, when my kids were little. There was a lady out there who had a little theme park! It was great for kids. I guess it's long gone?
Perfect day for a ghost town! Shame it wasn't open but great excuse to return. I wondered where and when the Gene Autry bowling photo was taken now I know. Reminiscent of the Henry Ford museum town in Dearborn? Or Brooklyn, Michigan? (I touched the Kennedy car there! ). Would love to see the wild west show and visit the ghost town,our history. Always exuberant after your vlogs Jordan thank you. Jah!
Great vlog. Grew up watching the old cowboy shows. My sister was a Gene Autry fan while I was crazy over Roy Rodgers. Made for many interesting exchanges between us. Would love to visit. Thanks for taking us along.
Im a new subscribers..love your blogs.....im into old movies..and love how you educate us and i enjoy the history behind the person... give gar a high 5 for me.
What an amazing town. Love it👍. Hey was that cactus wearing Daze with Jordan the Lion shades??😂😂. So awesome. I miss Jah❤❤. Thank you Jordan for your creative vlogs. Your enthusiasm is contagious 😉. Lots of love to you and Jah💖💕
That was really cool, that is definitely a place I would love to go visit! When I was in Junior High we went to a Ghost Town up in Northern California, I think around the Paradise area. I never forgot the experience, loved westerns! It's sad to think it probably isn't there now because of the wild fires. 🤠
Really cool vlog Jordan. You know, I had been to the Marine Corps base many times out there in 29 Palms while stationed at Long Beach Naval Hospital, but never knew of Pioneer town. I almost had orders to 29 Palms, but found out that is was no Palm Springs..... Crazy difference, right? Anyhow, very cool little town..... I'll have to add that to my list of things to check out. Well, onto the next vlog.... Take care Jordan, and catch you later..... Arthur Childs, Oak Harbor, WA.
What a fantastic vlog! Can't wait for Joshua Tree! Love the story Glenn Frey told about him and the rest of the Eagles going out there, eating peyote and watching the sun come up. Great job !
Very Cool ! Judge Roy Bean Paul Newman ! Another good actor ! I also love the creativity of the properties especially the school desks and typewriters !! LOL I enjoyed this ! Thankyou !
Like Pioneer town better than the Paramount western town. Cute story about Gene Autry using the local kids to set up the bowling pins at that bowling alley in Pioneer town lol. I also got a kick on Jah’s expression when you told him you were dropping him off at Polyana’s cuz you were going to Pioneer town❣️Precious ❤️🙏🏻Thanks for all your detailed information on the places you visit, Jordan. 🌵🏫🕍⛪️🤠
Jordan. too bad Jah could not come along! When ever I rent cars, I have full coverage on my personal car insurance, and decline what the rental car company offers! Too bad ghost town closed down, but looks like a real "ghost town" ! Thanks for the tour!
Ya. Those Car Rental places will gouge you if they get a chance and do it with high pressure. I am sure they get kick backs and that's why they push it so much.
Free Beer Tomorrow hahaha... Pioneer Town man. If i vsited there I'd go dressed up western style an tour.Half expecting the Duke to step out on a porch.
Jordan, try visiting 29 PALMS too. go to the "glass outhouse" they have a website too! The best Mexican is a small place next to the JELLY DONUT called Algobertos, try it next time it's in YUCCA VALLEY Authentic Mexican food best in high desert. Try and make it to THE SOUND BATH up towards Landers they have a website too. Lots of people believe in Aliens up here too ya know...check it all out. There is a little breakfast joint across from the Mexican restaurant you like called JT COUNTRY KITCHEN only open for breakfast until 2pm, they also serve Asian Fusion food it's owned by an Asian couple, Anthony Bourdain reviewed it, there are pictures inside of him small place, cash only. Joshua Tree Coffee Company is right behind PIE FOR THE PEOPLE, they roast their own coffee beans on the premises. Nice place to sit outside and enjoy coffee or tea. I love living here. Hope this helps!
You should check out AlaskaLand! (Formerly known as Pioneer Land) it’s in Fairbanks, Alaska and it’s so awesome! Very ghost town-y. I went there as a kid and loved it 😌
Very cool Jordan. Looks like a great spot to get away from life and go play for a weekend. The desert is beautiful. The cactus is suppose to be purple. It's name is opuntia macrocentra. It's a member of the prickly pear family.
I dont like Enterprise and will never use them again unless I have to . Thrifty work well for me in Boston and I was able to use my own full coverage insurance without having to buy extra. There was one in Orlando at the airport that was really great too . They really saved my keister with a great car great and terms and it wasn't booked in advance. I can't remember their name but they look like generic Rent-A-Car and they were the last guys on the totem pole at the airport.

What a treat to see this as it is today. We get the old Westerns early on weekend mornings. Just watched a Cisco Kid last Sunday. I love these places!
Love how you are so versatile in your vlogs, while still educating us on the histories.
Great video Jordan, loved it. This would be the kind of place I would enjoy seeing myself, thanks for the tour.
U knocked this one out of the park... this was amazing. I would love to visit this place. Thank u Jordan for such a great adventure.
Very unique and interesting. One thing I really like is those homeowners don’t have any grass or weeds to contend with!! I LOVED the purple cactus!! Very Cool Video! ThanksJordan! 🤙

Sorry about your car Jordan. Man I love old ghost towns. This is just so cool. Thanks for another fantastic vlog. Your the best.
So glad this came up in my feed today. Loved this!
Best vlogging ever each vlog is a SMORGABOARD of traveling goodness.

“ Fine pots for fine Folks- cracked ones for the rest of y”all” 😄🤣😁😆😃 JUST FUN!!! Thank you! So fun! Put a big smile on my face! 🙋🏻🤠
8:18 That looks like mining cart. Miners would load it up with ore, and push it out of the mine on tracks.
Yes, that's exactly what that is.
Playing catch up again but lovely vlog love old Wild West towns . Thanks again Jordan ! 👍🏻💙🎥🎬🐶😎🦁🌴🇺🇸👍🏻
Thanks for your videos I'm homesick and miss California, love that you are showing all the history.
I'm happy to help
I'm heading to Arizona soon. I'm gonna stop by here thank u
This is so cool! I have been to Calico but never here, love the western!
Interesting Vlog... My Mother loved Gene Autry, but I don't think she knew this existed. 👍Jordan &Jah!
A nice follow up to the Wayne vlog and its interesting to see some of the old California countryside.
Your just an old cowboy at heart Jordan. Great vlog and we never knew about the town we'll have to check it out one day. Thank you
Amazing Vlog Jordan I love old American towns and ghost towns. My son and I went to Hualapai Range the best Ribs,range beans. Joshua trees amazing. . You need a cowboy hat.Thanks for taking us to the old West,really enjoyed it

Wild West Ghost Town!!! Love it!!! I need to go there!!
Great vlog first time looking at a old western town
you need to go to Bodie....in the eastern Sierras.
Reminds me of frontier village!
Loved It, My Momma Is A Big Gene Autry Fan, Another Great Job.

Love the desert
My girlfriend Vicky got married there about 30 yrs ago. That was my first and only time to be there, very charming place.
interesting vlog, never knew about this, thank you for sharing from across the pond in UK
Jordan. too bad Jah could not come along! When ever I rent cars, I have full coverage on my personal car insurance, and decline what the rental car company offers! Too bad ghost town closed down, but looks like a real "ghost town" ! Thanks for the tour!
wlwal1 I do the same with my insurance as well as the GPS. They all try to offer things to suck more money out of you.
Ya. Those Car Rental places will gouge you if they get a chance and do it with high pressure. I am sure they get kick backs and that's why they push it so much.
Free Beer Tomorrow hahaha... Pioneer Town man. If i vsited there I'd go dressed up western style an tour.Half expecting the Duke to step out on a porch.
love this place!!!
Jordan, Paso Robles is waiting for you
Random Footnote- depending on the credit card you reserve your car with- you may be totally covered And avoid the extra insurance fee!!!!
Oh yeah! Pioneertown!!! This is so cool!
Cool ghost town. I never knew about Pioneertown.
Jordan, try visiting 29 PALMS too. go to the "glass outhouse" they have a website too!

Enjoyed it
That old mine cart is now a BBQ grill lol
Very cool Jordan. Looks like a great spot to get away from life and go play for a weekend. The desert is beautiful. The cactus is suppose to be purple. It's name is opuntia macrocentra. It's a member of the prickly pear family.
Lydia Mccarthy I thought the same thing.
RhettyforFun I've seen one made from a shopping cart lol
Lydia Mccarthy That's creative! Grilling a la cart!
That's a cool place!
Happy Trails to you, till we meet again. Great Vlog...........
Nothing like a one horse town. :D
Was fun 🤗
Another cool video!
PioneertownWow loved it Jordan as Justin would say in the ooooooo old West Love to the jahster lionheart4life Bruce
Who needs further education? I got Daze with Jordan! BTW, see if you can find the spot in Joshua Tree where The Doors did peyote. Just kidding.
I think tomorrow is close. But way better.. you watch and let me know please... one of my favorites ever..
Can u show us the last home of humphrey bogart?
Thanks from Valéncia ( Spain)
Probably the barbershop in the olden days they used to cut your hair and pull your teeth
Nice!
Hippies use side door 🚪
I dont like Enterprise and will never use them again unless I have to . Thrifty work well for me in Boston and I was able to use my own full coverage insurance without having to buy extra. There was one in Orlando at the airport that was really great too . They really saved my keister with a great car great and terms and it wasn't booked in advance. I can't remember their name but they look like generic Rent-A-Car and they were the last guys on the totem pole at the airport.
Shysters
yea pretty cool but have you gone to Tombstone that is cool as well.
You might want to do some research. I think it’s possible you have Gene Autry and Roy Rogers mixed up.
Another homerun so tired now, hart rate 20 bpm... you woo Justin n ally law ,let me live again through your lens..live life enjoy every moment!!!!
is that still there or has it been burned down
Cool :)
have you ever been to Calico
Was that the 25th?
