My husband passed in 1975 and is buried in Cottonwood. After his funeral we went up to Jerome. I bet it has changed after all these years.

That circular topped building just across the street from the public parking lot was the Ford Dealership, my father was the assistant parts manager there when he moved to Arizona from Arkansas. Up the street about 2-3 buildings on the same side of the street was my grandfather's barber shop.

Hey Russ, can you do a video about your RVerTV vehicles? I was watching one of your older ones - from 2016 I think - and at that time you had a big Class A motorhome. Seems to me that this year you are driving a different Sprinter van than you were a couple years ago. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on your downsizing and what you liked and didn't about the different RVs you've owned. Thanks

It's been awhile since I've been too Tuzigoot,--looks like they've done some nice upgrades to the visitor access of the ruins. Another attraction in the area that I enjoyed is the Verde Canyon RR.

The complex you said was a copper mine is actually Salt River Materials, aka Phoenix Cement. It was built between 1956-59 to produce cement for Glen Canyon dam in Page, Az. Trucks were running between Clarkdale and Page 24 hours a day for 4 years with cement for the dam. It is now sending concrete to the 2 microchip plants in Phoenix and Chandler Az

Cottonwood is a fun place. We live in Phoenix and have taken day trips to shop at Larry's Antiques (at the corner before the main street). After walking through there, we go next door to Bing's Burger Station for a real good burger and onion rings. I've also camped at Dead Horse State Park before. The Verde River area is really nice and glad you got to see it for yourself. Peace! Pete in AZ.

What you kept calling a copper mine is actually the Clarkdale Cement Plant.

@michaelcolburn3985 2 жыл бұрын

On your way to Tuzigoot from old town Cottonwood, you point out a feature in the distance calling it a big copper mine. That is not a copper mine. That is Salt River Materials Group / Phoenix Cement manufacturing plant. The tall tower you see in the distance is called the Preheat tower where the raw crushed material from the earth (limestone, bauxite, gypsum, and many other raw earth materials) is filtered down through the tower as it heats up and eventually is sent through a large kiln. The kiln burns at approximately 2500 degrees and provides the energy for the chemical composition change that results in the formation of cement.
