My Fathers 2nd wifes family owned Twin Arrows. The backroom was partially an office, but the owners lived in the back. The small apartment in the back was just that. One of the truck drivers employed by them lived there. I spent my childhood summers there. A scene from Forrest Gump was filmed there also...

I remember stopping there in the 80's. it had good food. Slept in my car one night. Wow what a change.

Broke down there once. Still have the wrench they made me buy to fix my car. Lol.

I thought he was going to find two actual guns in the cave!

Rattlesnakes are primarily active in the day and most active in the morning and evening hours during spring and fall. During the hottest months of summer, they tend to be more active at night.

Nice to watch an explorer video, that isn't choppy, who, focuses on interesting stuff, articulate, and who is not easily spooked.

Damn tweakers ripped up all the walls for copper! Route 66 has amazing history, and AZ has the only unmolested (by I-40) section of Route 66 left. Meteor crater is right up the road too

In 2015 on the way home to Mn after snow birding for the winter; we camped at this old KOA on space 66 way out in the back for overnight it was way fun for a couple of old geezers, kept my Mossy 590 next to the bed. On the way out some people taking some pics just stared at us as we drove our RV out of the apocalyptic KOA.

It's a shame what vandals do to other peoples property.

I was in Two Guns in May 2018 with my son. That chair was moved to the center of the room when I was there. My son sat down in it. I didn't think it was a good idea. Got a picture of him on it though. There was a broken ladder on the back side of the Kamp building that he climbed up to the second level. There was evidence that someone was staying there. I refused to let him climb down into the cave as I was worried about rattlesnakes down there so it is interesting to see what it looks like from inside.

The restaurant at Twin Arrows is a prefabricated diner designed and built by Arthur Valentine out of Wichita, Kansas and sold from the late 1930’s to the late 1960’s. Nice video Mobile Instinct.

Back in the late 50’s through the 70’s we drove on 66 every summer to get to our grandmothers home in New Mexico. We stopped at those places for comic books in our 57 Chevy, it kept my sister and me happy during the long drive.we would refill our lister radiator bag that hung on the front of our car with water.great memories

The Kamp building had an external stairway.... I carried sheetrock up those stairs. Dang, that was a long long time ago......

Arizona is a special place with many treasures just like this!

Loved the old 66 Route. Did lots of traveling after I got out of the service in 72. Stopped in a roadside shop/restaurant once and the woman who ran it asked if I wanted to buy a mountain lion cub, $50. Surprising to say the least. turned her down.

The KAMP building is the KOA campgrounds that were located throughout the Southwest states. Some of them are still around. There's 2 or 3 around the Santa Fe, N.M. area still being used to today. Each of them have the same KAMP style building.

Kind of sad. I remember the Twin Arrows being on vacation as a kid :(

I remember stopping here in the 70's with my parents. There were a ton of these places back then. I'm not sure what's worse, scrappers, water, or vandals.

You got some balls going down in that cave... one of the best ghost town videos I've seen brother!

Chris, you must be pretty brave to go into some of these places. Homeless folks, spiders, and snakes, etc... But, I am glad you do this so we can see it. I hope you have someone with you just in case of an emergency.

These places like the zoo and bridge are really something, when they haven't been spoiled by vandals.

The history of Two Guns goes all the way back to the 1800s. It's quite a colorful place.

I always wonder who just travels around with spray paint in their cars ready to vandalize places they visit.

Twin Arrows Trading, I'd been in there a few times back in the day. I used to commute from Cali to Texas and the Midwest rodeoing. Watching this was trippy cool; thank you!

as a kid my parents took me on rt 66 from the St. Lewis arch, all the way out. at that time two guns was boarded up and had signs saying they were seeking funding to preserve it. clearly, they never got the funding. when i saw two arrows by 93 im pretty sure the gas station and gift shop were closed. the death cave was marked, "no trespassing" and boarded up with chains to keep people out. i saw the entrance but there was no real way in back then. sad to see the vandals got to most of it, but still cool.

Be careful disturbing rodent nests when you are exploring. The disturbed droppings can expose you to hantavirus. Not a good thing.

Amazing to see it's condition now. I've been there several times over the years when it was open.

I think Wallace ID. was the last place the Interstate came through. It really was a lot nicer for the survival of the towns people and the Normal Traveler to hop off the interstate take a break, have a soda and take a look around some of these older towns. I am to old to travel anymore but I remember the days when I would hop on a motor cycle and see the country with out seeing an interstate. People just don't know what they are missing any more. I love your videos, so many memories, and history.

You should not be alone in places like this.

I went there as a kid! And I’m 64. Memories thank you!

It is so sad that some people have to destroy these old buildings. These building should have been preserved and declared National Historic Sites.

I would love to explore some of these places! I truly appreciate being able to experience via KZfaq. I'm sure it's awesome to see first hand.

I am sorry to see all the vandalism that is committed by fools.

4:12 that tiny little "WERDER BREMEN" Sticker made my day.

Every Summer we would travel back to our home state on Rt 66. We saw all kinds of things. So sorry it was bypassed. We always bought souvenirs and plenty of places to eat and have fun. Sad

I remember stopping at the Twin Arrows on family road trips, looks like I’ve aged a bit better.

Anybody else expect him to find a couple of rusty old guns buried in that cave?

There was some guy camping there in an RV when we went. He took us down into the cave and gave us a little tour. I was glad to get to see two guns and the Apache death cave.

Very very cool. That canyon is amazing.

I was just through this whole area for the last couple years doing u-ship work coming outta North Texas to that region and the west coast. So many Americans don't realize what a rich history we have in the Southwest. It's a shame really. Arizona and New Mexico are just loaded with these old trading Post style places and sadly most are closed or closing because young people would rather live in a virtual world instead of the real world. My mom who is elderly lives in the Ozarks of Missouri which is where I am at the moment doing some much needed repairs to her home and Rt 66 goes through here And Oklahoma. It's so cool. Almost time for me to get back out on the road working again and I thank you for sharing this it reminded me just how much I miss the traveling, it's a great way to work. Your office is whatever is in your windshield every day. Very cool.

Every time you go in a cave, I cover my eyes and just say, "No!" Caves are definitely a phobia of mine! Logical Mind knows you obviously got out okay, but Phobia Brain thinks I'm going to see a death! LOL

Thanks for showing these places, you and others who do this are showing me places i will probably never see, safe journeys 👍

Those caves are amazing, such a huge piece of the past. Reminds me of the Crystal Caves we have in Wisconsin that you can go to & they give tours, tell stories. Pretty rad 😊

I was by there today, about the 3rd time there. Been all through the area. As a trucker I get paid to travel and love stopping and exploring forgotten America

It looks like someone has walled-up most of the actual cave. Those limestone and pink granite rock-bricks block-off other sections of the cave.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT CAVE DID NOT CAVE IN ON YOU .. YOU WERE ALMOST DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE IF IT CAME DOWN .. BUT GREAT VIDEO!!!

I have been by that same business many times on Rt 66. We were on our way, back and forth from Oklahoma. I hated it when they put the freeway in. There were so many interesting places along the 66. That camp ground was the KOA camp ground, they had them all the way through from Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Very nostalgic Rt66.

Wow Your Great at finding these places.. When I was there, seems like a hundred years ago, remembered this mine, Tucson & loved Tombstone..

Seen other videos on two guns, two arrows area and yours with the drone shots blows them all out of the water! Nice steady gimble as well. 😀👌

"The same rats from when this place was open" 😂😂😂

What an incredible location! I love them, but at the same it saddens me for those failed businesses

I use to to there for hamburgers before heading out to explore the country. Those were good burgers and the waitresses were always kind..I know Two Guns and Twin Arrows very well.

Chris this vlog was amazing! what great finds thanks for sharing I love abandoned places I would of loved exploring that cave.

Thanks for the video. Really cool.

Awesome vlog! I love about an hour from that location and can’t imagine that the “Mountain Lions” building was actually a zoo. Enjoyed your other videos about Bodie and The Wraith location.

I Thank guys like you and a few others who keep the history of this country alive and the stories are behind them are always great too heard i feel I'm discovering them with you

Another good video. Thanks for the great work

I absolutely just love your adventures, especially our mid 1900,s history. Well done. My wife, daughters and grand daughters love scouting these place in our neck of the woods. Spokane, WA area and 300 mile radius. If you are in the area, I can show you some gems. My youngest daughter would very much like to meet you. We love your channel. For me, watching your videos is warming/calming and I get to learn. You are a great guy and wish you the best.

I envy you so much. You just keep finding these awesome places. Subscriber for Life.

So much amazing history there in America.Would love to end my days travelling your great country seeing all those type of ruins etc you have.Cheers and thanks for the tour.

This video was amazing. Glad you did not go farther into that cave. You should really have someone with you, in case of emergency. I am going to go through withdrawal when you run out of videos. I look forward to your adventures every day now. Be careful out there please.

So cool! I show your vlogs to my family- we enjoy it!

Sad thing is all of these buildings are scheduled to be removed. Was supposed to be gone in 2020 until covid hit. That pool was a Uber popular skate spot back in the day, a LOT of famous skate photos were taken there. I’m surprised the caves weren’t all tagged up...

Thankyou for sharing. Wouldn't see these places otherwise thats for sure.

Amazing footage my good brotha! I'm not too far away from this out here in San Diego. Iv got to check this area out in person! Iv been a fan for years, please keep up the amazing adventures!!

when I was a kid back in the 60's moving to Phoenix we stopped there.it was so cool.

That pool is ready for skateboarding!!!!

Aww Man, I love your videos. I enjoy visiting similar places in Spain when I manage to get over there

Cave exploring is my thing. Interesting find. Great video. Thank you.

Wow. That death cave. What an awful story but thank you so much for sharing it. My husband and I too love exploring so are thoroughly enjoying your adventures! Take care out there!

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing.

Very cool. Thanks! I appreciate your work.

That Apache death cave was awesome. The whole area looks really fun to explore.

THANKZ FOR SHARING BE NICE TO WALK ALL OUR BEAUIFUL COUNTRY TO SEE THE OLD SITES. I LOVE HISTORY THIS WOULD BE SO INTERESTING TO STUDY ABOUT. I CALL ALL THESE PLACES FORGOTTEN PLACES. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. AGAIN THANKS FOR SHARING.

We have a stretch of old 66 in my state (Oklahoma) still runs through middle of west okc with lots of very old businesses that have changed hands many times but still active. I drove out to Cali in early 80s as young teen with pops and we stopped off on 66 a few times just to see, still had some gas stations hotels and restaurants but you could tell their time was near. So many great things on 66!

Absolutely amazing vlog! Felt very post-apocalyptic, very cool vibe! We explored a secret Portuguese beach in our vlog 😁

See Tucker Gott's video on the arizona meteor crater for a paramotor tour of that canyon. Really amazing!

So cool!!

Fascinating site! So afraid of rattlers. That cave was amazing. Thanks for the tour.

Thumbs up liked for you and Happy Saturday.

Wow , and I never knew that , that's part of our history .....thank you for showing the death cave it's awesome to see and hear

awesome video..thank you.

Very interesting! First I've heard of this story. Thanks for sharing! Stay well!

Loved the video! Hope to be able to travel and explore like you do one day 😀 safe travels!

I really really enjoy your videos. I'm saddened that the Apache death cave isn't preserved. That's a piece of history but like Canada where I'm from we try and hide what was done. I liked your videos because you bring me to places that I want to see and explore myself but can't, plus the US has more interesting road side attractions and abandoned places etc. Keep up the good work my friend. Cheers

Great vid keep em coming.

gr8 video stay safe on the road! can't wait. til next video

I’m going there next week! Thanks for the preview

I remember going across the desert, and seeing places like this when they were inhabited back in the sixties. Everybody would buy those canvas Desert Water Bags, and hang them over the front end of their cars to keep water for their radiators and drinking. This was back when water was free, and no one bought bottled water.

Wow, I love old route 66 history and the roadside attractions. Sadly people are ruining them.

Wow so many useful woods

Can you do a video on your life and travels? Show us your ride. Daily routine etc. how you get money to continue. Why you do this. I found you fascinating and wish you nothing but the best! Thanks for sharing 🙏

wow, when you find things, you get the best. Much better than when I was in Arizona then to, Loved Tombstone..

Awesome 😎

I went by there over this past Easter Weekend 2020. Ate their in the 70s when I was younger

one time i was walking down an old railway line and found an old rusty rifle

Dude, I've been there but never went into that death cave! Friggn rad!! Thanx for showing bro!

I found your videos and channel, now a subscriber. Keep it up! :)

I'm so glad I found this gentleman. Ooooh what will he show us ?

All right a drone shot !! Awesome !!
