I'm 79 and have lived and explored Arizona since I was 10. I've seen and walked around lots of the places you mentioned. Your work is priceless and very informative. You have dealt more into, and researched more than I have. I have let my membership to the Arizona Historical Society lapse for the past two years but need to get back into it. I, along with my native born best friend get together weekly for lunch and compare notes on Arizona historical places and people. Today I showed him the Phoenix Valley's oldest and first permeant residential house built by a white man. He was Lord Darrell Duppa. His adobe house is surrounded by a chain link fence and is between 2nd and 3rd. Avenues on West Sherman Street just south of downtown Phoenix. He was born here in South Phoenix and never heard of, or seen this old house. His parents came to Phoenix in the 1920's from Texas on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a side car attached to it. No paved roads anywhere on that trip back then.
The current owner of the baths property in Mesa has been working on getting approval for development of the site, but they are having issues with the city due to historic preservation issues. Unfortunately, by the time they figure it out the structures may be past saving and the developer is threatening to go through the process to get the historic building designation removed.
@tedcombs3046 that's sad that the current owner doesn't want (or can't) preserve the historical buildings of the Backhorn motel. I think a lot of us would rather see this piece of historical buildings be properly taken care of and not be made into another development.
This area around buckhorn baths is a crime ridden drug haven with tons of tweakers and exorbitant amount of homelessness and unsavory extra curricular activities. It has been this way for 15+ years. Trailer parks, smoke shops, convenience stores,laundry-mats, payday loan shops, dollar stores and thrift stores. Not somewhere you’d look to go intentionally
right , no long boring intros to let people know what they are going to see....as if they dont know what they just clicked on haha, appreciate ya checking out the video 👍
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 I know! The long intros get so redundant. The only intro that I find tolerable is LizAmazing she has a second intro which is basically a slide transition of her logo. 😃
Yes, as an Air Force veteran I can tell you the triangles were Air Force auxiliary fields used for training pilots at both Luke AFB near Glendale and the former (now closed) Williams AFB near Mesa. These triangle fields were built all over the country to serve a nearby air base. Most are abandoned today. Some have been converted to small municipal airports.
I have lived in the Phoeni for decadesm and recall seeing the Buckhorn Baths in it's glory days, it's so sad to see it now. Thank you for sharing this.
Hey no prob! this one was really fun putting together and doing the research....and I was surprised to find some of these not too far from my home. Thanks again for watching
Excellent as always, interesting and informative. I'm just going to say it... Dude, you need an agent, some marketing, or something. You put out such a high quality product, your narration is terrific.
hey thank you so much for those kind words! Lots of years in the making to even get this far. always trying to improve and try different things and tell new stories. Appreciate you checking out the video
Thank you for your work. Your videos are both well composed and informative. I really like the respect you show for the places. I wish more people would show that kind of respect.
I loved seeing the ole Bath house... From the 1970's-1999 our family would enjoy soaking our aches, and pains away. The rooms were renovated in the 1980's. We'd stay there a few days as a family thru the years. Sweet memorry's, sorry to see it's in decay. This little get away has always been a controversial place.
I loved the Buckhorn Baths! The water was so therapeutic, and they offered affordable 1/2 hour massages. The decor was wonderful. Wagon wheel sofas with red vinyl upholstery. Lots of taxidermy. Went there many times from the mid 70's to early 80's.
I couldn't agree more! It has so much potential, and boy does that sign stick out. Love Vintage signs like that, and yea, sadly it seems like the homeless kind unofficially claim the area. Heck the last two times I was there taking photo and video, I kept watching my back just in case.
@jessiesdroneadventures7464 I just read in Wikipedia that there were potential plans to build townhouses on the property..yeah..thats exactly what Mesa needs. More cookie cutter townhomes.
In the one shot it looked like Zack Bagans talking to a man .Think they investigated there.With everybody health conscience nowadays, that would be a good place if revived.In Texas, in the Hill Country above San Antonio is the town of Nameless.
As a kid growing up in Chandler. I lived close to the Gila River Indian Reservation. My friends and I would ride our dirt bikes out to that old air field quite often. It was fun to look around. Growing up out here I've been to most of these places in your video. Today I stopped at another abandoned place, Seneca Lake Trading Post and Resort. Took several pictures including my Harley at the old gas station.
Chandler!!!!!!!!!!! Thats my stomping grounds! ahhhhhhhhh! Seneca lake! I did a video out there as well....so sad to see all that potential out there of what could have been. Thank you for sharing!
It was a scary stretch of highway to drive. On some parts when two cars met one or the other would have to back up to allow the other one to pass. If I remember correctly a speed limit was 35 or 40 mph. When it rained you had to drive even slower because the water coming off the mud could wash off the side. It used to be a all-day trip into Mesa and Phoenix. Which is not only 3 to 4 hours.
Thanks for the Nothing, AZ info! I live in Vegas and I've driven by that place well over 10 times, and always forget to stop, when I go from NM back to Vegas.
When driving the 93 Hwy. Be sure to really be on the lookout for Nothing, AZ! Because if you blink,you'll miss it! I went right past it looking for it at night!
I was born in St Mary's Hospital inTucson in 1956, the address on my birth certificate is Silver Bell. Probably in one of those 30 trailer spaces, there are pics of me brand new in a Spartan trailer.
...And I was just thinking along the same lines! Some of Wonderhussy's content is good, which is why I liked her at first. But then I felt snubbed after I put into her comments some positive statements, as she wouldn't respond. And I was hoping that maybe we could be friends or hiking partners since we both lived in Las Vegas, NV at the time. Sometimes I found out about things that I still didn't know about or wasn't onto that was out there in our deserts, etc. 🏜. But indeed she is narcissistic, and of course a show-off because she used to be a model. But I lost interest in her videos because she rambles on too much in her content. Shows off enjoying herself at hot springs ♨ that she won't reveal the location to, because she's afraid of that viewers will crowd and ruin them. And I got tired of her prissiness, and constantly going, 'Yikers!' And describing things that she would point out as, 'Creepy '. Which I felt like she was being a nosey, disrespectful priss about the places that she was visiting! Sorry, I had to get that off of my chest! But this guy's content, narration, and presentation is so much better! And he has alot more respect for the places that he visits, and documents than Wonderhussy does!
Back in the late 80's and very early 90's I had a flight instructor who thought it was FUN to do touch-and-go's at Memorial - thankfully his father - and that entire side of his family were prominent Attorneys - Sadly most of the planes are gone now - can still be seen on Google Earth just of of I10 & Queen Creek Rd. Runways are still visible
I drive by the Buckhorn Baths all the time. I've always wanted to just pull over and go find the springs, but I'm pretty sure it's still private property.
The buckhorn one looked really interesting to me and I thought to myself “hmm, I should go explore it.” But it looked like it was in the middle of nowhere. Figured it was too far from me. Googled it, it’s 10 minutes from my house lol
It is so interesting to see the valleys and peaks of US business and cities. Exploring these places is one of our favorite things. Just imagining what it looked like at its peak...
I knew Ted and Alice Sliger personally. My grandpa was their good friend. He hunted many of the animals in the baths with Ted. Good people. Mesa should refurbish it. Great part of it and Arizona’s history.
I lived in tonopah. Odd you have viewers from there since the population is like 60.... but here I am.... I went to school with a girl that lived in one of those ranch houses in 1994
The real tragedy about the Buckhorn in Mesa is the hundreds of ancient Native American artifacts that were used by the original owners to build the cement knee wall around the motel. You can see them all there still, embedded in concrete. Terrible waste.
@@quirogatnonerrat3214 The stem walls that run around the old office are made of stones, mortar, and numerous grinding stones, mortar and pestles. Im sure it wasnt illegal to take them when the Buckhorn was built, but the number of them encased in those little walls is incredible to see.
You should go to Tip Top. There is also the ruins of an old hotel on the way and the ruins of an old town on the way from Phoenix. I forgot the name of that town but it once had 40K people (I read) but when the gold and silver dried up in Tip Top this town dried up with it. My father Brother and I went there many times.
Used to drive past that place daily when I lived in buckeye and was very sad when they tore it down but it was structurally unsound and had massive flooding inside. So, sadly it doesn’t exist anymore
you should man! lots of abandoned places out here....especially on the highways between california and nevada.....and on that route 66! its right up your alley!.........Happy Exploring!
Bro ive lived in casa grande for about 30 years I thought I knew just about everything in casa grande ive never seen or heard of that bar where about is it?
its out near where the domes were........I still spend hours on the web trying to find information about it....but nothing turns up. If you ever find out anything about it....I'd really appreciate you sharing!............Thanks for checking out the video
Back in 1980, before then indians took over the Gila River Airport, and it was still open to the public, Greg "Pappy" Boyington, of the WWII Black Sheep Squadron (VMF 214) was out there, and I got to meet him. All those construction cranes in the background are at the HUGE Intel complex, which they have been building for over 30 years.
@@opalwhite8928 They REALLY want you on "their" reservation to go to their casinos and give them your money, but they won't let you go to an old run down airport that hasn't been used in decades.
@@quirogatnonerrat3214 There were many different tribes of Indians. And they were all fighting and killing each other. It seems ALL humans do that. It's just part of their nature. The Indians get all the sympathy because they lost. It could have been the other way around. Sad thing is, they are still losing. A large percentage of my state is Indian reservations. And almost all of them are drug addicts and alcoholics. Since they are supported by the government, they have no incentive to try and succeed at anything.
I would need an incredibly huge budget to cover all the abandoned places in San Francisco lol not to mention, the list of abandoned places is still growing
Thank you! and yes....Been thinking about it, but there's a reason why I've never had an intro....Most viewers just skip the intro and click off the video once they realize its coming to an end....its hurt the videos average view duration which can impact how well a video does
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 Well I guess I’m one of the few that watches the intro and outtro. It does help to explain what the video is about. Thanks
Ladies and Gents, If something cool is abandoned on the Rez, don’t do it. Tribal police WILL get ahold of you much more than city, sheriff, state. Better know a local/resident/tribal member and investigate with them.
Al Brooks mayor of downtown Mesa put an article in the Mesa Tribune Alice Slaiger would not throw her rag i n she swore that the Buckhorn wouldl be there for an attorney for this very reason
When I was growing up, I lived at the St.Mt.Dam and Buckhorn Baths had a post office and we got our mail there for many, many years. Sad to see it in such bad shape.😑😧🥲

very sad, kind of a sketchy area too, saw a lot of homeless people in the area
Can you drive up number 1?
you can drive to it. there is 2 parking areas. one on the west end and one on the east end. but no motor vehicle are allowed on the trail

You missed Santa Clause, AZ.
It's in another video I did on abandoned places in arizona
As we say in Germany: Everything is there, everything goes away.
I wonder if anyone from the Tinsley family is still around. 🤔
I'm sure they are. Hoping some of them see this video one day. Would Love to Interview them!
@jessiesdroneadventures7464 that would be really cool!
You didn’t look for a body in the fridge?
Haha, nah.....last time I opened a fridge while exploring abandoned buildings. I got hit with a big cloud of stink from all the rotten food 🤢
Nothing Arizona. Hmmm🤔🤔.
Nothing is actually something.
Philosophically speaking ,
if nothing is what you want.
Gosh, I really didn't realize just how bleak that part of the country is! I guess parts are starkly picturesque, but it's mostly awful!
Nicht schlecht für einen halben Witz
Well Nothing pretty much sums most of Arizona!
Nothing is farther from the truth
Al Brooks mayor of downtown Mesa put an article in the Mesa Tribune Alice Slaiger would not throw her rag i n she swore that the Buckhorn wouldl be there for an attorney for this very reason
Dude, you said millions wasted like a 60 year run for a business is a waste and the lost millions. Dumb title.
yep
Please refrain from calling the Buckhorn abandoned Dan lives in room 29 you telling the world is abandoned what is bringing the homeless into the area
Ever get the haunted vibe when exploring these ruins?
All the time! never know Who or What you are going to run into/find
When I was growing up, I lived at the St.Mt.Dam and Buckhorn Baths had a post office and we got our mail there for many, many years. Sad to see it in such bad shape.😑😧🥲
