Welcome to the American Landscape! We are going to take you to all those little, and big, places you wanted to stop and see while you were driving from point A to B, but didn’t. Either because you didn’t have the time, or they are in your own hometown and you figure you can go anytime. Our mission is to encourage you to enjoy your journey as much as the destination as you travel about this great land of ours. We hope our presentations will whet your appetite for these roadside attractions. Our philosophy is: if it interests you, stop and check it out, you won’t regret it.
S4E2 Southern Arizona - Copper Queen Mine
Join Greg in historic Bisbee, AZ at the Copper Queen Mine. We will explore one of the best mines open for tours we have come across so far across The American Landscape.
Phelps Dodge Corporation closed the Bisbee underground mines in the summer of 1975. Bisbee Mayor Chuck Eads, with the generous cooperation of Phelps Dodge, brought to reality the idea of opening a mine tour through a portion of the world-famous Copper Queen Mine. Mayor Eads felt that history of mining should be kept alive in Bisbee and in a manner that would attract tourists to the community. Many faithful volunteers cleared thousands of tons of fallen rock and re-timbered the old workings. They were assisted by local individuals and groups who furnished support and food for the workers. The local effort came to the attention of a federal agency, the Economic Development Administration, which approved a large grant to the City of Bisbee to help the mine tour project and other improvements in downtown Bisbee designed to aid the tourist business. The Queen Mine Tour was officially opened to visitors on February 1, 1976. Since then, more than a million visitors, from all 50 states and more than 30 foreign countries, have enjoyed the ride into the mountain on the underground mine tour train.

I luv my country ❤
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
I wish my grandfather was alive to watch this. He was a cook in ww2 in the navy and i think he would love to hear that people believe his service mattered. I know he was upset that he couldn't fight due to sight issues.
@@greenhaloxbox3850 Thanks for sharing your grandfather’s story. And thanks for watching.
WW2 gliders were recovered and reused. If they weren’t wrecked
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope you enjoyed the episode. The Glider Pilots Association reports the following information: Throughout India and Burma between January 9th 1944 and the 23rd of April 1945, out of a total number of 415 sortie about 194 CG-4A gliders were recovered. No gliders were recovered from the Sicily operation (9 July 1943), the invasion of southern France (15 August 1944) nor Bastogne (26 - 27 December 1944). ww2gp.org
@@TheAmericanLandscape …I was referring to gliders landing in Normandy.
@@Idahoguy10157according to WW2talk and other sources 97 percent of the gliders used by American forces in the Normandy landings were left to rot in narrow pastures in which they landed. It just wasn’t a priority for us and a lack of qualified crews according to some research. Again, thanks for watching and commenting
Good video. I live in Nampa Idaho just a mile away and enjoy watching the P-40, P-51 and other warbirds when they come into town flying over my home.
I am happy you enjoyed it and took the time to leave a comment. Thank you.
In May of this year I was lucky enough to arrive at the museum just as Ernie was gassing up the 41 Chevy for its first drive down the road, and I got to ride shotgun. I was absolutely thrilled! I also got a guided tour of the place from Ginger the manager. Ernie is an extremely innovative and talented individual and has built some amazing creations.
@@wesraspiller7819 what a great experience for you. Ernie is indeed a wonderful guy with a lot of talent. Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment about your experience
Sir you are Great please make video when you are working on Cars
Thanks for watching. I would be nice to see how he does it.
Good job Greg. That was an interesting tour. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching and commenting Don.
💯

How well deserved is the Italian reputation for fortitude. Well done, Mr Forestiere.

Thanks for featuring the Warhawk Air Museum!! It is truly an incredible place and must be seen to be appreciated. As a member of the museum, I am honored that you chose to spotlight this special place!
Garret that is very kind of you to say. Thanks for taking the time to comment. The crew and I really enjoyed filming at the museum and meeting the folks that run it. They are a special group of people.
Nice work
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
After watching the video I made a trip to Bishop, Goldfield, and Tonopah. It's the most fascinating area I've seen. Jeff gives incredible information that adds greatly to the visit. Thanks so much!
I am very happy to hear our video inspired you to travel to the site, and some others. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thats the laziest explanation of stoping ive heard for a while. Its not just taking ore out but taking it in a specific manner 😊
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm no mining expert, I rely on the people I interview explain what their places are about. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the episode.
@@TheAmericanLandscape : sorry. A stope is a chamber left after drill blasting an adit to cone up under the strike ( mineralized fault ) so that when you blast out the ore it falls down into your ore cart saving you time and most importantly gruelling effort. You keep going up till it peters out. The chamber left is the stope. Normally square setted. Hope that helps. Hey you know Jeff williams ? Tell him Scottish Graeme sent u. He's a Geology and mining enthusiast.
@@GraemeWight-wx3xz Thanks for the very detailed information. These comments will help round out the info in the interview.
@@TheAmericanLandscape : yeah i was lazier . 🤪 But i fixed it. Have a good one buddy. 🏴 🤝 🇺🇸
Well done, Greg!
Thanks Geoff.
EXCELLENT presentation!

subscriber every one,
Very interesting episode, Greg! Such an amazing house and all the beautiful artwork throughout! - Robin 😊
Robin, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I hope you enjoy all our content.
Great episode, well done!
Great episode Greg. I learned that my Dutch Aunt who lived there was trodding on a Denmark inspired town all of this time! The archways in town seem so natural but are just a fusion of Spanish mission practicality and classical Denmark construction. Next visit I want to check out the museum. It seems like the best source for understanding the sunny fields known as Solvang.
👍
Thanks
Amazing nature
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video! It definitely has a lot of interesting information. The reptilian-like eye features I had never heard about and I'l never look at another ostrich the same way. Simply amazing.
I love ostriches😅

One of the greatest presidents !!
Thanks for watching and taking a moment to comment. I served in the Air Force while Reagan was President. It was a good time.
😮great interesting video thank you😮
I have been there, it is a beautiful facility. I believe you should have stood quietly at the gravesite and shown some respect
Thanks for watching. As you can see in the video we were a good distance from the grave site when speaking. All closeup were done with all due respect and in silence. Unfortunately we saw many people who were not as respectful as we were.
This was a very good video of President Reagan's library...it needs to be added to his site. It would add so much to his site, and make people want to visit.
Very nice tour, i wish i could see it in person, but this is as close as I will get. President Reagan was cerrtanly one of a kind, wish there could be more like him.
I have a suggestion for a statue of President Reagan & Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sitting together talking. There is a statue of President Roosevelt and prime minister Winston Churchill setting on a park bench.
That would be nice. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Ronald Regan died on 5 June 2004 when i half past twelve in grade 6 elementary school. My grandfather says Reagan its a great 40th US President.
IMHO, your grandfather was correct. I remember that time as being good. It was also when I was serving in the Air Force. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
It’s very misleading calling it a campus. It’s his Presidential Library.
@@TheAmericanLandscapethe term "campus" is used at about the 27:36 mark in the presentation.
@@rckstein1057 Ok. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the show.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
My wife and me will visit this museum next week
I think you will throughly enjoy it. Air Force was was really cool. Thanks for watching and commenting,
