Blessing to have a comfy cabin to rest inside out of the elements, murals are a bonus for sure. I am sure that even with a teachers contract if the right man came along the teacher would kick the nun teachers contract habit. Very cool little town.

Hi Bosslady, Yes, I was glad to get the cabin that night. I rained most of the night and had AC.😁 Have a great day!

Ice cream shop used to be a Dairy Queen. Went there all the time on our way up to Mt Graham in early 60’s. Still has great DQ like ice cream.😊

Interesting town, Benson ! Amtrak station was a laugher 😵‍💫🥳. Also, the San Pedro river area ….Fairbank, a mining town ? What type mine I wonder…….The old west….. Thanks again 🤠👍

@SeabeeTraveler 23 күн бұрын

ChollaJJ, Fairbank started out as a milling site to process the ore from the mines near Tombstone and surrounding areas. Before that they had to send all the ore back east to process, so it was a huge time saver. Interesting history. Thanks again.

You were correct when you said Monsoon season, it is early this year & up north & the east have been hit. Here in Glendale we are praying to get some rain! Thank you for your videos! Am glad you ended up in a cabin. KOA's are great.

@SeabeeTraveler 11 күн бұрын

Hi Jofleury, I'm glad you enjoy the videos and hope the rain comes your was soon. I like the KOA experience, especially on some longer trips. I tend to mix it up with some boondocking as well. Thank you and have great day!

R&R Pizza is actually a really good place to eat! The "Christmas Tree Stand" actually is connected to threaded rod. When tightened down. it helps hold the building together.

Hi Peggy, The threaded rod make sense now that you mention it. I'll check out R&R pizza next time I pass thru. Thanks for the recommendation and have a great week!

It’s funny how the term monsoon gets miscarries or loses its meaning it simply means reversing or changing of the wins seasonally meaning in India, where the term comes from the winds normally come from the north over the Himalayan into the rest of the subcontinent known as India, in a summertime, the wins reverse and come from the Indian oceanbring lots of higher dewpoint and when they crash against the Himalayan, which are extremely tall squeezes out causing mass amount of rain, but monsoon has nothing to do with rain. It has to do with the changing of the winds.

Hi Katarina, That is interesting. When the season starts for us the storms come from the east instead of the west like the rest of the year. So that makes sense. Thank you for sharing that and have a great day!

The metal X pieces are on both ends of a rod that goes through the building on both ends to stabilize horizontal stress. Masonry building have tremendous vertical strength but not so much horizontal strength. I have seen these items on several of your videos. Many are more decorative.
