    Hey Sally and Marty
    Another awesome video as usual. The views in the desert are absolutely amazing and the memorial garden was really nice. It was neat to learn the history of a town so many know so little about. A suggestion for those out of the way places that are just too much to hike, you ought to do like so many others and get a drone. You can really get some amazingly awesome Arial shots. However, that is merely a suggestion. Your videos are spectacular just the way they are. Until next time, stay safe and God bless.

Yes my dad who was in the Navy told us about the hooks for the planes who were based on carriers. Last camp of hi Jolley. Thanks fir sharing about Buck Conners! Old gold mines are always interesting to explore! That area with symbols on the ground are interesting!! Love the view from the hill. I would be doing the same thing as Marty, exploring the caves. The green plants growing in the desert . The grinding rocks are always interesting, as well as the old ruins. Btw, love your hat!! Didn't know it was called Tyson Well. The museum is nice. Aww Ice Cream parlor. Sad the book store is for sale. The camel stop gas station is cool! Quartsite Jail is interesting! Thanks for sharing Celia's Memorial Garden is special !!!

    Wow, I didn't know that Quartzsite was even a town, I just thought it was a place where RV's set up for the winter. And it's May now and likely a lot of people are leaving because those triple digit figures for the summer begin in May. In fact, we would always bet amongst our friends and co-workers what day in May would reach 100 degrees. I grew up in Scottsdale, Az

    There was an aircraft arresting barrier at the ends of the runway at Carswell AFB in Fort Worth Texas. I was in the USAF in 1974-1978, working in the Electrical Power shop, I was the first woman assigned to that shop. They kinda freaked out, but one of our responsibilities was to service the barrier by maintaining the little generator that was used to rewind the cable after it was used or while replacing the rubber "donuts" that lifted the cable a few inches above the pavement. We had F-4s stationed there in the 301st CAM Squadron, a reserve unit. I really disliked the shop. They didn't even have a bathroom that I could use. I had to go across a 5 lane main road to get to a ladies room. Those airmen in my shop were abusive to me.

      @SightseeingSally let's just say, corruption at its finest level. Do what the phony town board tells you. Not what is the law. They set an example for DC. They show old pictures of what the town used to look like and try to say it's the same today. Not so. They use to get 1-1.5 million a season. Now? Not anywhere near. If you don't kiss their a** they take all your permits from you. People were and still are fleeing from there. Many have choose Lake Havasu City and Kingman to winter in. The Rock and mineral show was known around the world. First in the nation. Now Tucson is. You couldn't find a place to park. You parked on the street. They wanted to be another Scottsdsle and ended up a big truck stop. The long sucking sound of a town running down the drain. To bad. So sad.

    19:30 - That's cast in place concrete (CIP) It was likely poured all in the same day. The lines you are seeing on the exterior are from the wooden form boards. Making concrete walls like this over several day would require several pours (multiple lifts) and would create "cold joints" in the concrete witch would cause structural and waterproofing problems ...

    Hello Sally an Marty please check your facts about your information you got on the f 4 s they are air force aircraft, never but to land on a navy carrier,the hook you spoke of isn't a tail hook,also it never flew 1400 mph ,if you lookup the tail number the only thing it shot was pictures, it was a recon jet , who ever gave you the information on the jets obviously doesn't know the facts or listen Ed to gossip, my knowledge is first hand, direct connection to those f 4s myself and my father were involved in getting them to qtz and we also both worked on them on the flight line in the air force , adding up all the years myself and other family members served our country it comes to over 100 years, oh yeah the nick name of the f4 flew so slow it was called a pig good video just check facts first thx rachele

      I was stationed at four U.S. F-4 squadrons during the '80s. The theoretical top speed of an F-4 Phantom was Mach 2.2 (1688 mph). In 1961, the F-4 set the world speed record of 1606 mph over a 20-mile course. This was just one of several speed records the F-4 set. That speed record was not broken until 1975 -- by an F-15 Eagle. Slow it was not. I never once heard any aircrew or maintenance crew call an F-4 a "pig". Its nicknames were "Rhino", "Lead Sled", and "Double Ugly." Whether an RF-4 (the reconnaissance version) could fly Mach 2.2 is the question. You can tell an RF-4 by the camera windows near the radome. All F-4s were manufactured with a tail hook, even the Air Force Phantoms. Although they rarely had use for it, in an emergency, they could indeed catch a wire on an airfield. I'm not sure where you get your "facts", but nearly all information about the Phantom is freely available online now.
