Used to run around there with my first girlfriend when we, and the castle, were young. It was just open; come on in. Everyone knew the Rubels & the Realty office and that they were a little eccentric, which was cool because every town needs its characters. Haven't been back or thought of the place in more than 50 years; this has triggered a lot of stuff. You made an old man cry a little, for as everyone knows, you can't go home again.Thanks from GHS class of '71

Mike and my Father worked together, driving bus for the Glendora school district. I spent countless hours hanging out there. Mike was a great guy!

I live about 7 minutes from the castle . Over my 40 years living in the area I have always have wanted to go. Someday I will.

Thanks again 👍🏾😷👍🏻🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇸

One man's dream that is totally awesome

Woke to thunderstorms at 6am Sunday here in the Great Lakes..now coffee and you folks taking me back to socal... it's a good day

"How do we get outta here" ...who wants to leave such a beautiful castle.

Rubel Castle is a fascinating oddity. Well done, Drew and Bethany!

Thanks, guys, for the tour. I once lived in Glendora but never heard of this place. Great story!

Wow guys this one is really cool you sure know how to find them great job.

Such an inspiration. I lost a good friend last year that was a very creative builder. He had an accident working on his retirement home and was gone from all of our lives. His beautiful homes are an enduring legacy to his memory just like this castle is to its builders. Thank You for another great chapter in your collection of travels.

everybody rules in this video! super cool, super cute!

Wow! What an amazing find. Imagine building a castle, and with plans that only exist in your mind. Another example of turning “junk” into treasure. So glad you took us to this extraordinary place.

Cool story and cool editing!! 👍

So interesting!

Great episode, and Bethany is looking especially cute.

Wowza. Learn something new every day. Did not know this existed. Incredible and you got to net the builder...sort of. That’s unique in your adventures. Thank you very much.

Lived in Glendora almost a decade, and never knew that was there!

Of all your explorations, this was by far the most interesting.

What a cool place. In these crazy times, your channel is a wonderful source of peace...thanks! Rock on!😊

Greetings Bethany, Drew, Scott Rubel, and wonderful fans! Love seeing this castle, seeing the room with all the trains, the clock and hearing the bells! I live near the Winchester house, love going there. Everyone take care, be safe, and enjoy your life!

You two are the BEST!

You make me miss California!

I love this place! Haven't been back in several years, I need to go back!

All I can think of is 'Really Cool'!! That is an amazing place for so many reasons. It is very nicely done and repurposed so much material that would have been in landfills. It is amazing that he was able to build and finish it. It would be an absolute nightmare to try to construct today... In most cities there is so much stupidity regarding ANY construction. I have a friend who lives in a little city and had to get licenses, permits and 'make public notice' for him to remove an 18 inch tall border along his carport! I choose to live in the country. I have a few acres of land (not at my house) with a pond, shelter and an old school bus(that was converted into an insulated camper). I had a little hassle to get electricity there but that was worth it. I let the Boy Scouts camp there. They have kids from the city that have hardly ever been in real woods, and they bring them out there to camp. They pitch tents, build fires and go fishing; things these City kids have never done before (and if any of the kids get scared from the sounds of wild animals at night, they can take their sleeping bags and stay in the bus). It's a great way for them to participate and not get embarrassed if they get scared. It is amazing to see that someone in the city got to build this dream of theirs. Great Video! Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John

Those two are very intelligent! To do what they did is amazing!

That was an absolutely amazing place. Wonderful production and presentation, I'm shocked one of the cable channels hasn't snapped you guys up for a unique travel show. Thank you for sharing this adventure.

So glad you guys are back always look forward to your next adventure :)

Awesome !!! Another really Awesome video Beth and Drew!!!

Wow , what a magical place !, thank you for the Sunday Teatime treat

What an amazing place that you visited. Thanks for this video.

Another nutty, crazy place. Again, glad you're back & getting out. Also glad I get the notices when you post. Cheers!

looking from above it´s really more Disney Land than "real" Castle 😅 I think it´s still cool living there. Recycling is always a good thing too! Im really happy to see that.

Another great video, like I was there! So sad to see the model trains like that, wish there was a model railway club that could help getting it going. I guess Michael was counting on the Santa Fe/Southern Pacific merger with those bottles

Such a great video guys. My daughter was captivated I see a future adventure in our lives. Keep it up.

That castle is so amazing, and you guys are awesome for showing us these cool places. If my wife and I ever get to visit California you guys have already mapped out awesome destinations for us to visit thank you. ❤️😊

This place is absolutely magical. ❤️ Drew and Bethany I can't thank y'all enough.

So cool. I’d like to see more videos like that.

Way. Too. Cool.

Thank you for the great video -- always cool learning about new places you usually wouldn't hear about!

Wow this is awesome !! Thanks for taking us along

No clue this existed i must go n visit

As usual you guys are incredible. Greetings from Saint Paul Minnesota! ⚘

THIS IS AMAZING ACTUALLY. GREAT FIND

Amazing! I wonder if they have problems with flooding 🤔 Another great vid guys. I really appreciate how well crafted your videos are. Cheers from my side of the world.

This is one of my favorite videos! Such a beautiful place to visit ❤️

Great tour! Thank you so much for taking us with you!

Amazing

Wow! What a nice documentary of this enchanting place. I may just go and visit now. It seems otherworldly. Thank you for sharing😊

Fun looking place to explore!

What an interesting family and place! It's hard to believe this place is real. It would be a great adventure to visit!!!

WOW!!! How amazing is that!!! Thank you both.

Very cool place

One of the most enchanting magical places you've ever been to. I loved it!

This was one of the best discoveries you have made. We loved this video.

Thanks again for your amazing videos definitely interesting I love them and love you guys

After a windy freezing day exploring the Japanese countryside today, I get to relax at home and watch another amazing video of yours 🙂 I wish I was still in LA exploring all these places you explore…

one of your finest, thanks. greetings from Chile.

What a magical place. I'd love living there. It's also amazing to me the amount of donated material and labor.

Great video as always. Thank you

Amazing place, thanks for another great tour. :)

Sweet!

Incredible

That was really cool and a great use of recycled materials!!

I'm glad you guys went here! I recently watched a Huell Howser episode where he went here, and was hoping that you guys would go too.

Awesome story, so interesting. Many thanks to the both of you guys.

Very Cool!

Wow love it best videos

Another Great video

Love this one B&D! I am a RR guy (but I work in aviation) since I was a kid and I still collect! Looking forward to the next!!

This is good one 😃

Your videos are so inspiring and unusual. I just didn’t realise how many people in the US are eccentric’ and so creative. Sometimes the mainstream media paints your country as bland and only interested in making money. But thats clearly untrue! Wonderful! Keep it up you creatives and you Odyssey Oddities! ❤

What a great job you do and always make me feel like I need to come see this for myself. I am so glad I joined patreon to help you both continue these great works.

Amazing !

this was awesome....

Too good 🤙🏼

This is absolutely amazing! Mr. Rubel had to have been a genius. He must have had some great people skills as well since he clearly got many volunteers to help him. Please consider visiting Nitt Witt Ridge in Cambria, CA. It is also a landmark built from recycled materials and has a fascinating history.

This has to be one of my favorite videos from you guys! Such an amazing place, built out of so much hard work and passion. Thanks for sharing it with us!

What an incredible and interesting place. So much detail. Just goes to show what can be done if you follow your dreams and are passionate enough. Thanks for sharing

Great tour, such an interesting story and home. It's been years since I've watched the Huell Howser tour of the place.

That is so cool.. I wonder if this will reach some body who is able to, and willing to repair the clock tower mechanism. If I lived in the area I'd definitely be there at least every month.

Hate to pay that light bill !!!

Where is the house? I saw a lot you did not show us, I thought the old man lived there when he was building.

I have just about that number of field stones to make something that big, 0ver 40 years of fucking picking stones need some space

Nice boots

What is wrong with the clock? Are they planning to repair it?

Unfortunately, there are thousands of people living in Los Angeles currently using recycled materials for shelter these days.

What's that thing that Drew has slung on to himself? I looks very techie.
