My first visit to Calico was many years before it was restored and became a tourist destination. It was a true ghost town back then. No commercial parts. Took kids there a few years back, old stove is still in the same spot.

I love going there. We always stop at Peggy Sue's 50's diner for the wonderful history and then go on to Calico.

I lived in Barstow as a kid and I absolutely loved going to Calico Ghost Town. I've eaten in that restaurant many times and they serve a great breakfast. So many great memories with my Mom, Dad and Sister. My favorite building is still the school house. It used to be open and you could go in and sit at the desks. This brought back some really wonderful memories. Thank you for doing this video.

You failed to mention, or make the connection while reading the sign. The Walter Knott is the Walter Knott of Knotts Berry Farm. Calico is the town he based the Ghost Town at Knotts Berry Farm on. He was a big supporter of Calico and helped keep it alive.

Thanks for the tour. You did the place justice. It has been awhile since I was there. We use to ride horses through the town and in the hills. My dad was the head of operations, and helped develop Calico, and get going starting about 1971 I was there too, but in a much smaller form 50 years ago. My dad's finger prints are still there in the way it was put together, it's sense of spirit, and the way it apparently still is. Most of it has not changed, but there used to be organized cowboy events, such as races, shoot outs, and trail rides etc. I still have the pins. The town used to be lively when it was newly opened and a novelty. It was the inspiration for Knotsberry Farm.. I believe Knotsberry donated the town to the country. If you went to see the graveyard, you'll find Tumbleweed. He was the first, and perhaps the only actual person to be buried there after Calico was opened in what was the old cemetery. He was from New Jersey and had no family... a true hobo. I saw him many times as he was an unofficial resident who became a regular, and popular character in the town along with the Park employees, and concession personal who lived in town, who ran the general store and restaurant, and once lived in those abandoned living quarters you recorded...there are other hidden resident cabins you did not see. He fit the part well, and the Regional Parks honored him. My dad made sure he was not forgotten. If there are photos of Tumbleweed, he'll have a long white beard, and looked the part. Many persons had their picture taken with Tumbleweed.

Geeze, I had a summer job there when I was in high school. so did some of my friends. Memories.

Way back in the 1960's my parents would drive us 7 kids from San Diego up to Hesperia to visit Dad's sister and her family. We always spent a day at Calico Mines, as it was referred to back then. It was still pretty raw and a lot of it was merely taped off to keep curious visitors from wandering off outside of the attraction because there were still open mine shafts out there within sight of the main area. One false step and you'd not hit bottom until you fell 500 feet or so. Ah, great times....:)

Definately a place I need to visit. Thanks for all you do.

I have a photo of myself with that large cowboy from back in my touring band days!! But I never went into Calico, never had time! One day for sure.

Visited this place over 20yrs ago from the UK, absolutely loved it. Still have a couple of souvenirs from here. Thank you for bringing back some very happy memories.

Oh Adam, we went there some years ago on a cross country trip. I really enjoyed 'revisiting' Caliico. (It was mobbed when we were there.☹) This was a terrific video. Thank goodness places like this exist to preserve the past. 👌👍

I went there once as a teen with my family in mid 2000’s. It was fun!!!! It’s pretty well kept!!! Definitely want to go back as an adult!!!!

We used desks like those in the old schoolhouse when I was in elementary school in the early 60s. No inkwells, but they still had the holes.

Two things I really miss at Calico. The train that brings you up from the parking lot that is not used anymore and the mine ride that's now just a walk through.

Was there in the late 60’s. There was no restrictions for climbing the mountain or exploring the mines. Was extremely dangerous with all the exposed mine shafts on the slopes of the mountain. We camped there one weekend and had plenty of time to explore the mines, etc. Thanks for the video of what it’s like after all these years.

Much more added features to the Ghost Town since I was there. Lucky to have been given the opportunity to ride a horse through those hilltops of the Calico Ghost Town with the USMC Special Services.

G'Day Adam from Australia. I like it when you get out on the road I like seeing the back roads and the wonders of your great country. I have been watching your vids for a couple of years now...

That place looks amazing. Kinda reminded me of the Wild West town the Griswold's stopped off at in National Lampoon's Vacation.

I was in ROTC in High School. Every year, we would do a parade here at Calico. Thanks for bringing back the memories, and welcome to my neck of the desert! You should check out downtown Victorville, they've filmed a lot of movies there.

Grew up in Vegas and saw a lot of old mining Ghost towns. Had a blast going through this place too when I was a kid. I loved and miss those days. I miss being back in Vegas and going out on the Ghost tours in these old mining towns.

Memories! When I was a kid to taking my kids And can’t forget the Sarsaparilla ❤️ Thanks!! ❤️

Great video! I pass this exit all the time on my way to Vegas. One of these trips, I'm going to have to make a detour and actually check out this cool little town!

Fascinating stuff. We take so many things for granted these days! Thanks Adam 👍

I visited Calico in the early 60"s when I was 6 and again Dec. 2019. I am pleased that San Bernadino Co. is keeping it in good shape. The old gun fights were fun but paying staff to shoot each might be tough on the budget. The streets used to be dirt and rock and now they are asphalt. The asphalt sucks but it was probably required for accessibility. The magic from the eyes of a 6 year old has faded but if you are a kid at heart you will love it.

I remember doing that tour, they told us that the rumor is the stray cats that live there year round are the souls from the residents that used to live there lol.

I love those old west towns. Thanks, Adam.

This place looks sick! I love the whole cowboy ghost town thing so this place is on the top of my list. The inside of the mine was really cool

💜💜💜 this vlog, but this is my favorite time era too! Thanks for going here I've always wanted to go!

Just went to Calico yesterday...so awesome, love historical places.

Very cool that you stopped here I use to go here all the time when I was a kid

Drove by this place for years and years. Brings me back

Grew up minutes from Calico and spent most my life enjoying the place. Thanks for a great job on the vid, made my day miles away in Utah. I miss home so much.

We my mom, dad, and me, my brother Jimmy, my sister Sandra filmed westerns there and my dad won the worlds fastest gun draw as Johnny Ringo in 1976 and my mom played the old hag Omg those days bring back some special memories. We lived out on Hesperia Rd in Victorville, California on the big old ranch out there

Good job on the video. There are some great ghost towns in Arizona that we have made videos of as well.

Thank you! I got a good laugh, I was there when I was 11 in 1982

That was cool now I want to go check it out! Thanks for sharing your adventures.. 🙂

I had lived 40 miles away from Calico when I lived in Victorville (greatest city in the world, not really) but this town takes on a different feel at night. Great ghost tours there.

I love this place.. I've been here twice Every time I go to California or Vegas... Love love love plan on going back soon...

Growing up we would visit and camp there once a year. Had a lot of fun. ☺ Now I want to bring my kids out there..

Very cool place. Thanks for taking us along, Adam

Oh man, I was there in 1978 on a family vacation. It was still a ghost town, buildings with caved in floors, broken boardwalk sidewalk, old cemetery. It was super cool. I heard a rumour that it had been tourist trapped up. Thanks for sharing, Woo. Happy trails, Pard!

Awesome video! I love ghost towns!!! And that geography was beautiful.

Visited there in 1974. Went motorcycle riding down on the flats. Good memories

Had fun touring Calico via KZfaq with you both! Thanks for the great sense of humor--made it totally enjoyable!

That was fun haven't seen that place in fifty years.

Calico and Bodie are both alot of fun! I miss the Mojave sometimes.

Awesome!!! Thanks for showing this. I was always a fan of Calico. I moved to Florida and haven't seen that place in a long while.

Thanks Adam, safe travels.

Ive driven past that place 100s of time always wanted to visit thanks for this vid.

Calico sure has changed since I was last there. We used to be able to go into the school house and sit at the desks. Also had teeter tooter next to school. Back in the late 70s had the best ice cream ever. Brings back memories of going there for Indian Princess camping days,

Never in my life, have been here...EVER! Thanks for showing this place, Adam!

My wife and I stopped there in the way home from Las Vegas. It is really cool place. Great video Adam.

Awesome to see Adam visit. Me and my family used to come all the time. Thanks so much for all the documenting of cool, unusual places to check out that you do.

I really enjoy you, The carpetbagger and Jordan The Lion. I'm glad you guys take the time to do this for us. Huell would be proud.

Nicely put together and informative as well. The historic town of Calico. Rock on Cody and Woo.

Was here all the time when I was a kid.pops brought us here on the way to Vegas!! Hope to bring my kid here one day!!!

My wife and I visited Calico a couple years ago driving from Los Angeles to Iowa. Cool place to visit. If I remember right it was 110 degrees that day.

Love this type of vlog. Absolutely the best. You have a natural talent for ghost towns. 😎👍👻

Thanks for this video. I used to live about 2 or 3 miles from Calico. It was neat to see how a few things have changed in Calico since I'd been there last. It seems they've made it a little more touristy and less serious than it used to be. I hope you got to go on the Mystery Shack tour while you were there. That's the coolest part of Calico. Here is a trivia fact that only people who live in Yermo (that's the town just below the mountains that Calico was built on) know: Upon a portion of that dry lake bed you can see in the distance when The Woo does that pan to the left (12:00 - 12:11), the Titty Twister face/front was built there for the movie "From Dusk Til Dawn" and all scenes requiring the front of it and the sign were filmed there.

I love your videos Adam. This is my new favorite. I’m so jealous you are living the life I want with my family lol. Look forward to new videos!! 😍😍

I've passed this place umpteen times as a kid and later as an adult on the way to Vegas. Having seen the video, I want to go there for a visit, looks like fun!

I grew up about an hour away from Calico. I Want to go to visit again. An interesting place.

I just found your channel and I'm a lovin it , you have the best personality and humor it's so refreshing. When I need a break from the day I turn to your channel and go traveling 🚘 thank you for the giggles and smiles 🤗🙆.

There needs to be better signage advertising this to people off the Interstate 15. Last weekend while i was traveling to and from Vegas I barely noticed a sign for the place. I know where it's at, but I'm sure a heck of a lot of people have no idea such a cool place is up in those hills.

Thanks for sharing your trip to Calico ghost town. Been living in Victorville for 15 yrs. Still haven't visited the site. Enjoy your videos.😁🤗

Hi Adam Nice video. As with other commenters, Calico brings back fond memories. Those old mines and their air shafts are very dangerous and the earth around them is often very treacherous. I’m glad you steered clear. Happy trails!

They do cool stuff during the year their end of October they have a haunt type event a couple of weekends. Camp out ghost hunting tours and I love the haunted shack they have there almost the same one that was removed from Knotts years ago. Great video keep it up

Super cool. I need to visit- adding it to my list.

Been there twice - Once after it was closed - and the second time both open and way after dark. There be some strange going's on in that little town after dark! I highly recommend it!!! Thanks for the video!

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing your talents. Your style is so unique. And your humor so appreciated. I believe you are one of the best on YT. Your newest stuff is excellent as well. Thanks for keeping it real.

Well done. Thanks for visiting a place I won't get to visit.

Adam, that was an awesome place! 👍🏻👍🏻 You’re so lucky to do what you do, good choice and lucky for your subscribers! ✌🏻 Stay safe and continue entertaining us.

I love this place so much. Hi everybody

Wonderful historical and mysterious place .

Another great video Adam thanks I have been by this 3 times but never stopped

That was awesome! calico looks like a great old western town!

Adam this video was amazing I don't know how you all do it. Continually coming up with great content to upload, it must take time and allot of patience to do this full time.

SUCH A COOL PLACE TO VISIT!

Wow, blast from the past. I was stationed at Fort Irwin from 2004 to 2008 and seen the Calico sign on the side of the mountain but never went to the ghost town but I did have duty at the Marine base for a week.

This place looks amazing!!

Thanks Adam for the great video. Wish we had places like that in our area. Thank you again. 👍😎

Oh wow.. I was there with my dad and a brother decades ago on our way back from one of the dry lakebeds where they do land sailing. I had a photo in the corner building with several steps. Very interesting.. and the connection with Walter Knott. 👍😎

This was a lot of fun, thank you for posting, this was a great video.

Stepping back into the paved old west.

I think this was one of the first videos that I watched from "The Daily Woo," while I was researching Calico Ghost Town :)

Spectacular!

Glad to see you back at it!!

Awesome visit! Its been years since I've been there!!!

I really enjoy visiting Ghost Towns.

I'm glad you pointed out that was a beetle!

Your post helped me plan my vacation! Thank you.

Came over to give this video some love Adam. This place looks worth the trip..Thank you!

That was an interesting place, those mine tunnels were really cool!

Wow, I amazed you never visited before. Thumbs up!

You two are nuts, I enjoyed your tour 🙆🏼‍♂️

Awesome place Adam

Thanks Adam!
