2:50
guess if that's what you're used to you
2:51
get acclimated to it all right turns out
2:53
the Hitching Post Pizza and Pub is not
2:57
in fact
2:58
a grocery store or a
3:01
convenience store of any sort walked
3:04
inside and pretty good theming though
3:05
but just basically a bar a really
3:07
well-themed Western Bar
3:10
as you kind of peruse in there there's a
3:12
lot of really cool items and there were
3:14
a few people in there wetting their
3:15
whistle the Old West Highway
3:19
where history still lives where to sign
3:21
it it's on the front of the building
3:23
as well
3:25
the old west
3:43
I have made it
3:43
gold feel ghost town and mine tour
3:48
the states right here on the side of
3:51
this
3:52
says air mail
3:54
that funnel there
4:02
I've also been to a lot of these types
4:02
of towns that were not converted
4:04
into theme park style attractions
4:08
this one has been and is kept up
4:10
repurposed and utilized
4:13
still kicking established 1893 the old
4:17
water tank oh I hear a train
4:21
there's a train over there
4:35
like it already go ahead and take a look
4:35
at the pamphlet I got at my hotel
4:37
staying in Phoenix it was about probably
4:39
45 minute commute
4:45
Valley's only authentic ghost house
4:45
Scenic Railroad fine tours Journey back
4:47
to authentic 1980s old west
4:50
family fun all the different features
4:53
all the different stores
4:55
they're open every day
4:57
ten to five this is an authentic 1890
5:00
site hazardous conditions as you would
5:02
have
5:03
uneven walking surfaces Rocks Hill steep
5:06
drop-offs old wooden sidewalks porches
5:09
steps Steeps railings Timber splinters
5:13
and this place was obviously around way
5:16
before the ever expected vehicles to be
5:18
pulling in
5:20
and new cars parking
5:23
in the lot over here this is designated
5:25
Peterson's Mercantile the old shop the
5:28
merchandise shop Treasures old and new

the Apothecary you got some
5:42
Grill over there they got some ice cream
5:44
over there
5:45

5:54
look too much stuff up

but this is really awesome
6:00
pretty great they got the hat shop over
6:02
here
6:03
you got the little cart down here
6:05
as well this is maybe the
6:08
Stagecoach line
6:11
again I believe in the winter time or
6:14
when it's not in the heat of Summer they
6:16
do like a show out here
6:18
like an old Showdown
6:20
like a high noon type thing definitely
6:23
getting some Hill Valley 1885 Vibes here
6:26
I'm gonna be surprised if Buford Mad Dog
6:28
Tannen walks up
6:30
what's it coming up
6:45
when I am alerted that a train ride is
6:45
about to happen I will come I'll call in
6:48
very very quickly take a look at this
6:50
this is dedicated to the unknown
6:52
prospector and this is not a joke snake
6:55
alert don't touch this snake you see the
6:57
snake tell us
6:59
or just hightail it get the heck out of
7:02
Dodge all right over in the gift shop
7:04
for 12 you can do each of three
7:07
different things there's the Mystery
7:08
Shack the mine tour and
7:13
the Train the Mystery Shack and the mine
7:17
tour those are the three but for thirty
7:20
dollars so you save a couple of dollars
7:21
each thirty dollars you get all three so
7:24
this is for the tray this is for the
7:25
Mystery Shack this is for the mine tour
7:27
and here's a general layout of the land
7:29
right here of all the different things
7:31
so it looks like there are three it's
7:33
free admission to get in but there are
7:35
three different
7:36
items that you can do that you must pay
7:38
for or you can get you know all three of
7:41
them for thirty dollars
7:46
it's an old mind
7:46
miniature version here it's a Union
7:49
Pacific the Lehigh Valley
7:54
to the celebrates 100th anniversary of a
7:56
rescue as a man that was trapped in the
7:59
mine for two weeks
8:06
here's a photo of the Town back in 1897
8:06
right here on the fourth of July
8:10
James Stevens
8:13
to Alaska right there Jane Stevens
8:21
and then 10 days after
8:21
he got out of the mine
8:24
there he is right there you're gonna rob
8:26
a train you need one of these of course
8:27
after the events of 2020 these have a
8:30
different connotation
8:32
you know because people are using those
8:34
for different different purposes
8:36
thank you
9:11
you sit on this like middle section kind
9:11
of like the middle section of jungle
9:12
cruise we don't have the backing or
9:14
anything so you just kind of sit in the
9:16
Middle with everyone else
9:17
this is pretty awesome
9:39
backs and tray tables are in there fully
9:39
upright and locked positions
9:42
the event of a water landing the bench
9:45
you're fitted on can be used as a
9:47
flotation device
10:02
tour guide Chief cook Ed and bottle
10:02
washer feel free to stand up and turn
10:04
around at any time during the trip it's
10:07
about 5 000 feet above sea level up on
10:10
the top there and geologists tell us
10:13
that it was formed 30 million years ago
10:15
at the edge of a volcanic caldera 250
10:19
square miles of federally protected
10:22
Wilderness Area
10:24
and now a little bit about these big
10:26
tall Cactus with all the arms that you
10:29
see all around the town There's a few of
10:31
them coming up on the right side there
10:32
they only grow here in the Sonoran
10:35
Desert they can live to be 250 years old
10:39
and they don't grow their first daughter
10:41
and kill their 50 to 80 years old
10:48
up on the left side these weird looking
10:48
Cactus with all the green fruit hanging
10:50
off them are called chain fruit choya
10:52
and if you if you look closely you'll
10:54
see bird nests up among the thorns on
10:57
those things I'll never understand how
10:59
they can build those maps without
11:01
stabbing themselves to death
11:04
this is an old steel head frame from the
11:07
early 1900s
11:09
they would pull the aura out of the mine
11:11
shaft in that bucket and then dump the
11:14
bucket down that Chute to fill up your
11:16
car
11:22
Alex cannot express how much I lost
11:22
don't go off to the right side out by
11:25
that old dump truck
11:32
or a big underground mine and it was by
11:32
far the largest and most productive of
11:35
all the mines out here it was also the
11:37
deepest the main shaft in the mammoth
11:40
went down
11:42
thousand
11:43
feet below the third lane and come out
11:45
here with their Pig's head shovels and
11:48
scrape the stretch at the surface never
11:50
more than 10 feet down and they would
11:53
gather one or they could get and then
11:55
they would have to move on and try to
11:57
find another claim and that's what
11:58
really started the gold boom out here at
12:00
Goldfield was the underground mining
12:02
because it was a lot more efficient and
12:05
more profitable than the surface mine
12:07
was and with the Superstition Mountains
12:11
in the background
12:16
prospecting actually started out here in
12:16
the 1880s but very few people were brave
12:20
enough to come out here and try their
12:21
hand at it
12:23
Apache raids were still happening back
12:25
then and this was not a safe place to be
12:35
but by 1891
12:35
the raids has pretty much stopped and
12:38
word had gotten back to town about or
12:40
back to civilization about the gold
12:42
strikes out here
12:43
and people just started flooding into
12:45
the town they had the Mercantile store
12:48
and a livery shop our delivery stable
12:50
and blacksmith shop and a butcher shop
12:53
and a bakery and a barber shop and even
12:56
a one-room schoolhouse for the kids
13:03
regulation at that point was up around
13:03
1500 people and a boat about 500 or so
13:07
were the miners and their families but
13:10
the miners in their families didn't
13:11
actually live in the town they live all
13:14
around the town out here in the
13:16
surrounding desert in canvas walled
13:18
tents
13:19
it was a tough way to make a living but
13:21
it was good money if you're stuck at it
13:23
and worked hard and eventually they had
13:25
to decide that there was nothing more
13:27
they could do for the mine
13:30
and the only option they had left was
13:32
just to shut it down and walk away from
13:34
it all three of those remaining
13:36
underground mines ran into that same
13:39
underground aquifer and one by one they
13:42
all flooded and also had to shut down
13:46
sudden things were looking really bad
13:47
for the town because all the underground
13:49
miners left and the surface miners had
13:52
scraped up about all the surface that
13:54
they had legal claims for so they
13:57
started taking off so they all started
13:59
closing up their shops and packing up
14:01
and moving out
14:02
and before you know it there was almost
14:04
nobody left out here and one day the
14:07
folks at the post office must have
14:08
looked out the front door and said hey
14:10
there's nobody left out here only five
14:13
years after it had opened at the top of
14:15
the boom go field post office shut down
14:18
and Gulf field officially became a ghost
14:20
town and we're just about back to the
14:22
station now so I'd like to thank you all
14:24
for riding along with us today that was
14:27
just the kind of attraction that I loved
14:31
perfect
14:33
it's a classic train ride around a ghost
14:36
town so my first impressions I should
14:39
say you don't really need to go
14:42
overboard with stuff to make it
14:44
entertaining and that's just kind of
14:46
what I think a lot of times you go to
14:47
like theme parks and stuff and I think
14:49
they try a little too hard
14:51
for you know just in my opinion and
14:53
again I'm just you know I know what I
14:55
like but sometimes just something just
14:58
standard like this and pretty basic just
15:00
does the trick this is just so good I'm
15:02
gonna do the mine tour next
15:04
well what if it's a blacksmith
15:07
awesome oh look at this
15:10
no I think I am gonna go down with a God
15:11
I have traded in one of the paper
15:13
tickets
15:15
for what he referred to as the guide is
15:17
going to take us down at 12.50 so
15:19
instead of five minutes as a stick
15:21
ticket so he's like you gotta have the
15:23
stick ticket
15:25
so I got a stick ticket
15:26
and I'm ready to rock down in the
15:30
down in the mine
15:43
I think part of the reason I love Big
15:44
Thunder Mountain Railroad a Disneyland
15:46
and a Magic Kingdom is because it's
15:49
themed around this era
15:51
and I love Knott's Berry Farm
15:53
ghost town at Knotts
15:56
Walter Knott went out to the desert and
15:58
took a bunch of old buildings
16:02
they were basically just going to kind
16:03
of rot away and created a theme park out
16:06
of them genius some of the old tools of
16:08
the trade
16:10
definitely see you would need a big
16:12
brimmed hat out here
16:30
it's the old Outhouse here I think
16:30
there's someone in the outhouse
16:38
oh wow wow
16:38
what's going
16:40
what's going on in there
17:11
what's inside
17:11
all right one minute
17:23
we're going to go down take us a little
17:23
while but hold on
17:47
all right guys that's it excuse me I'll
17:51
get past you so we can get out of this
18:00
all right
18:00
looks like we're here so first off once
18:03
you get off your elevator
18:04
you be met with this uh complete
18:06
darkness not we have electricity back
18:09
here but this is all new to us right now
18:11
plus the air conditioning is kind of
18:12
nice down here but once you get off the
18:14
elevator you can start by uh getting
18:16
your tools and your equipment your
18:18
helmets things like that sledgehammers
18:19
everything you might need to start your
18:21
day down out of mine you gather all that
18:24
and uh you start out with your main
18:27
tools right here we got our drill bits
18:29
our star bit the miners called it they
18:31
would use this to do most of their
18:33
drilling these things are much more
18:34
important to them but still very
18:36
dangerous uh these things had uh the
18:39
nickname of the Widowmaker they had that
18:41
because they had the tendency to uh
18:44
decapitate minors back in the day
18:46
because they're very unwieldy and had a
18:49
chance to blow back if you hit something
18:50
hard into the Rock
19:00
all right guys so as I was talking about
19:00
those drill bits right there they'd be
19:02
using uh those to drill holes into the
19:04
wall and these are the holes here that
19:06
you would be drilling this is called the
19:08
21 stretch 21 holes to be filled with
19:11
the dynamite one to five sticks of
19:14
dynamite per hole seven feet uh deep
19:17
practically around that so one to five
19:20
sticks Dynamite per hole they make a
19:22
horseshoe shape kind of like this very
19:24
specifically because it was uh designed
19:27
to implode on itself they had this one
19:29
left unfilled in the middle called the
19:31
relief hole this would cause the uh
19:33
Dynamite to implode in a certain way
19:35
that would cause the ore to come rushing
19:37
out into sort of tidal wave and softly
19:40
uh pushed itself right into the middle
19:43
of the Mind here so that you can get to
19:44
it easier you'd be mucking it into the
19:46
ore cards like that that's uh would hold
19:48
about a ton of oil right there
19:50
it's that Minecart they use since they
19:52
filled it up roll it on up the elevator
19:55
we came down in put it on up to the top
19:57
Honey Wagon have a special name because
20:00
the man Wheeling it around was known as
20:02
the honey dipper oh wow this little
20:05
Ladle here
20:20
yeah this is known as the honeybaker
20:20
yeah they reel this that around the uh
20:22
mine offering its services to anyone who
20:25
may need it it's a very important job
20:27
because uh this is all you have and in
20:29
complete darkness handles um
20:37
yeah because there was no electricity
20:37
down here of course just and a lot like
20:40
this so this is all you'd see
20:43
if this is all you've had the only
20:45
source of light you had down here to
20:47
mine you have to set it up in a very
20:49
strategies you can save the place there
20:51
because you of course didn't want it to
20:53
go out you want to be very safe probably
20:55
working on the opposite side of the mine
20:57
while over there pickaxe and drilling
20:59
things like that everyone
21:15
man
22:03
and this is where most of the mining and
22:03
things like that would be taking place
22:04
this would usually be much bigger than
22:06
this because this is one of the gold and
22:09
the mining will be taking place most of
22:10
it but uh also be filled with fun so it
22:13
had to be very safe but they had no tail
22:15
our nails or screws for a specific
22:17
reason because with all this mind
22:20
detonation and blowing up a dynamite
22:22
things like that and plus you're
22:24
underground that are removing you don't
22:27
want these things to be snapping or
22:29
breaking at all so this is why they had
22:31
no nails or screws because you wanted
22:46
so the guide was explaining this is what
22:46
they used to siphon all that water out
22:47
from the flooding
22:49
back in the day
23:10
oh good thing they had AC down there
23:10
I can already feel the heat starting to
23:12
emulate through this tunnel now back up
23:15
top
23:16
Mystery Shack
23:18
this is probably one of those type of
23:20
houses that kind of threw your
23:22
equilibrium off I'm your host for today
23:24
welcome to Goldfield Arizona and welcome
23:27
to the Mr Chef it's where the hills are
23:30
Steve the Thrills are cheap and the
23:31
abnormal is absolutely normal before you
23:33
safety all you got to do around these
23:34
parts is wash your feet and watch your
23:36
hands hold on to handrails and lean on
23:38
dancers you may do that otherwise you
23:41
could do a little silly trip stumble
23:42
ball and which you will say hello that's
23:44
ceiling the floor or the wall you want
23:46
to follow up here it's the center way
23:48
you may do so be sure you hold on to the
23:51
rope and not the metal because it's
23:53
Arizona
23:54
yeah you know what's helps cool me down
23:59
taking a nice little drink of water
24:01
right here I'm joking I'm an alcoholic
24:03
that's all I drink it is whiskey and
24:06
wine things like that yeah well I did
24:08
read in the book one time you could take
24:10
this stuff right here and
24:12
make it into the wine
24:14
frankly I'd like to talk to the guy that
24:16
did it because
24:17
I think I'm on to something but not
24:19
quite oh
24:21
good sorry not sorry I broke the laws of
24:23

over a thousand feet into the ground try
34:47
to pull gold out of this place at twenty
34:48
dollars an ounce they risk their lives
34:50
for this but in the 1890s maybe 20 an
34:53
ounce was worth risk in your life a lot
34:55
of people to this day still risk their
34:57
lives out here out here in the middle of
