Ranchers leave those tires out there to put salt licks in for cattle. They put them in tires so the cattle don't break them up. Also, the rocks around the cactus were painted white so that troops didn't walk into a cactus at night, the same with the rocks on the pathways.
The rocks you saw were for the 736th--my Dad was there and part of the unit. 8 Ball was their battalion mascot. They were really upset when he was shot.
Great job Steve. Thanks. My Uncle was with the 701St Tank Destroyer Bn. in Tunisa during WW 2. He died in a Nazi field dressing station there. His military records were destroyed in the St. Louis fire. So it's possible he trained at Camp Bouse. Thanks again.
Steve, always enjoy the videos + the story behind them. Love the ending with the "colors" over your right shoulder and the broad background of the desert/mountains. Hoo-ah! !
Thank you, Steve, as always. My hunch is the circle was where the main flag pole stood, or at least maybe the "center" of the Camp. Camp Locket in Campo, CA has a HQ flag pole. The poured concrete sidewalk to no where must have been where the VIP's walked. I loved your observation about GI's and rocks. Thank you for reminding my Fort Irwin memories.
That could be the case. It's pretty funny the effort was spent to make that sidewalk but whatever it was leading to or coming from was probably just a tent or a shack. Thank you for all your support.

@@SidetrackAdventures It may have been an hospital isolation tent for soldiers with communicable diseases. My father who was in WW II said that as new units were formed, some of the guys, from different parts of the US, would pass illness around. Kind of like 'freshman flu" on college campi each autumn.
As a kid I lived in Camp Roberts in Ca. As an army brat I had to go to the hospital on post and it was a series of 1 story buildings that went on for miles (or at least it felt like it) Same at Fort Ord before they built a modern hospital.

Thank you for this video! An arid desert expanse with barely a few traces of former brief habitation. Spent a couple of weeks at Ft. Irwin on annual training and the environment was just like this. That era was prior to the age of miniature electronics to control drones, but it is still surprising that they overlooked the fact that bright lights are targets. As they used to say, there are two ways to do something, the proper way and the army way.
It's amazing how you captured the remnants of such an important yet hidden part of history!♥ Can’t wait to see what other historical locations you’ll uncover next! 🌍♥
Thank you Steve for another informative tour. You were led up the 'garden' path with that concrete path. Your video's and commentary about all those out of the way places in America is why i keep watching. I've said it so many times and will keep saying it, You and your wife would be great tour guides for both Americans and us 'foriegners'. With what you find out about area's in America should be used in American schools as history lessons.
Good morning Steve. After spending most of my life in the southwest, you find some of the most amazing and historical sites! I look forward to your Wednesday's upload! Thank you for what you are doing. I'm letting my friends and family to check out your videos and if they enjoyed it, give it a thumbs up!
Steve, you inspired me to take my teens to visit most of the places you have documented. Titan Missile Museum has been their favorite so far. Thank you for educating us all...
Thank you for an informative and entertaining trip into the past. I did not know there was more than one of these camps. I knew about the one near Chiriaco Summit off of I-10 east of Indio CA.
The one at Chiriaco Summit is Camp Young. It was the headquarters of the Desert Training Center. Also, where General Patton had his headquarters when he was there. By the way in those days the place was called Shaver Summit. It was not changed to Chiriaco Summit until the post office was set up in 1958.
Steve, I could not have lived through the rest of this day if I had not known whether that last cactus had a rock planter around it or not…..😊 Seriously, another great video! You and your wife are a real asset to TH-cam. Keep up the great work!!
Maybe you could do a piece on the origin of Ft. Irwin, near Barstow in WW2. General Patton built the modern part to train his men for North Africa, to fight Rommel. I think the Army had been out there earlier than that. A very interesting area is "Jack Hammer Pass", the mountain pass halfway from Barstow. You can see the original pass on the left as you enter the pass. It was cut mostly by hand, jackhammers, mules and dynamite. There are photos of the construction and the old fort and Patton himself out there...
I was OPFOR for 44 rotations at "The Planet", aka Ft. Irwin,Cali. I echo (no pun) the request to do a history of Camp Irwin. I know there were Japanese detainment camps there along with Patton's training excersises. But,alas,I am sure post access is tough to get. I wanted to do an OPFOR reunion there,but after almost 40 years,no one can help me in the quest. Keep up the good reporting,brother. Tanker Tough!
"If there's one thing you learn in the Army, it's how to landscape" got a good chuckle out of me. I've noticed this tradition is alive and well on the Baja Highway at the Mexican Army camps that have been set up to keep a presence and inspect passing vehicles. In the Navy, we got good at polishing brass and stripping/polishing tile passageways. Busy work to keep the military occupied between wars, no doubt. As always, really appreciate your research. Your drone shots certainly help in the appreciation of a lot of your destinations.
I'm sitting in my chair in Dayton Ohio watching this, your videos are awesome! We'll be in Quartzsite with our food truck selling BBQ in a few weeks. Last year we spent Christmas in Las Cruces and then went over to the Salton Sea and just missed crossing paths with you! Small world, maybe one of these days we'll run into you guys
That’s crazy I live in San Diego and never been to the Salton Sea . I have a lot of exploring to do east off San Diego. Been to Yuma, AZ , El Centro Ca and Brawley but I saw the history of Salton Sea . The Engineers messed it up tapping into the Colorado River. It looks like a ghost town now. 🤷♂️👍
I have visited Camp Bouse a couple of times now. Also, the other Army Camps of the Desert Training Center. I will say they all have deteriorated a lot from when I first saw them starting in the mid 1960's. I have come across practice anti-tank mines, pistol and rifle ammunition and 37mm tank "bullets". Camp Coxcomb and Camp Iron Mountain had the remains of the churches. Also, at Rice Airbase, 50 caliber ammunition for the airplanes. I have found your last few videos quite interesting for me as those are places I have visited or camped at.
I'm always on the lookout when I head out to these camps because people still find unexploded ordinance. The last thing I want to do is turn it into exploded ordinance.
@@SidetrackAdventures Interesting that you should say that. Back in the late 40's and 50's there were signs up along highway 177 North of Desert Center, warning people about unexploded ordinance. At the time I was a youngster traveling with my parents.
I was out on the western border of the Goldwater Artillery Range East of Yuma in about '74 and in the middle of the "road", I found a live 50 caliber. I picked it up and put it about 15' off the path and wrote the word, 'Live' in the dirt beside it. A week later I was back out there and picked it up and brought it home. Still have it up in my ammo box surrounded by papers. STL and 43 on the firing end.
@@EmptyHandshake I did bring home one of the live 50 caliber rounds from Rice Airbase. I have also traveled round the Goldwater Artillery Range. The thing I remember most is the tanks and other vehicles parked out there. My problem is that I am now in my 80's and my memory is fading.
If I was local I'd be making a trip out this weekend specifically to replace the flag. Not military myself, but I had a Marine Scout Master, so some stuff stuck haha
My memory is getting hazy with age, but I thought I remember a VFW club was maintaining the flag. I was looking for something along those lines in Steves video, but I did not notice anything.
Watching all the way from nz. Love your content. Im too scared to get on a plane and visit all these amazing places so i say thank you for letting me live through your videos. Keep up the great work and cant wait for your next upload. Stay safe steve.
The one I remember by Needles Cal., was Camp Ibis. It could get supplies from the railroad that ran right by there. Same for the Camps around Rice and the one at Goffs.
This is a really great tour of Fort Bouse and hearing the history of it I'm really enjoying seeing the different places here and until your next destination have a wonderful week and Thanks.🇺🇲🪖🙏🇺🇲
Seems like nothing but miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles of nothing - and yet, you found SOMETHING out there! Thanks so much for sharing this relaxing journey into the past.
Your comment about landscaping in the Army is spot on. In 1986, while with the 82d Airborne Division, we deployed to the Sinai Desert as part of the Multinational Force and Observers, acting as a bit of a buffer between the Egyptians and the Israelis. We had to use the metal tines of a leaf rake to make parallel lines in the sand around the buildings we stayed in when not on patrol in the desert. It was so absurd and the locals who had occasion to enter the camp from time to time just shook their heads.
Another great video Steve! Have you visited any of the WWII internment sites? There are two close together on the Gila River Indian Reservation at Butte Camp and Camp Rivers. (I'm sure you'd need permission from the reservation to go walk them). It's also near the town of Maricopa where if you come by on Saturdays you can tour an old California Zephyr train car. (Maricopa was moved here from a few miles north because of the Union Pacific train line that's been in the same place since I believe the 1800's.) I'm sure you'd be able to find some other stuff to do around here (Dwarf Car museum is cool!) Those are just some ideas. I think the train car thing is cool, but it's a little more mainstream than a "side track" hah it's on the main highway between Maricopa and Casa Grande. Thanks for the content again! Have a great week! See you next week!
@@SidetrackAdventures Steve, I absolutely agree with that, it is super sad. There is one that has a list of names of people who were at the camp that ended up enlisting in the US military and serving almost as a, "you thought we were against you, but we instead fought beside you" type of vibe. While I agree they are sad places, they are places that need to be remembered for being as disheartening and inhumane as they were. People should be aware that the US did this and it was not out of love, but out of fear of someone different. That the US did not do the same with the large German immigrant population during the war. My feelings are that people should never be confined like that no matter the fear, and hopefully it will never happen again. I definitely understand your reasoning for not featuring them. I'll keep an eye out for other things to suggest. Thank you, again, for your videos.
Steve, frorm my 62 years of studying history I have concluded my ancestors were ordered to go to America in 1834, from Manchester, England. My ancestors went from Manchester to Rhode Island, to Ohio, to St. Louis, Sacramento, California, San Francisco, and finally several miles inland from Bodega Bay and the Russian River in Sonoma, County California. Bak then traveling that far in less that 10 years took some doing. Bye the way, their oxen were shot with bow and arrow in Nevada, ditched the wagon in the Sierras, and ate rancid butter, rancid salmon, and Indian acorn bread in Sacramento. Fortunately Eliza wrote a diary, and James was interviewed by the Bancroft Library before his death in the late 1890s. Take Care Steve, cause damn your'e Good!
Great video, thank you. For all of my reading about WWII and Patton and spending most of my life in the Southwest - this is the first I've heard of this camp and the secret weapon development. Impressive work, as always Steve.
Steve, I'd venture to say those rock "planters" were once painted and used as a punishment detail. The sidewalks could have been legitimate training projects by civil engineers in the unit. You certainly are adventurous! 😂
Patton's desert training bases covered parts of California, Arizona, and Nevada. They have Patton's Desert Training Museum off of I-10 at Chiriaco Summit in California.
You offer such informative and entertaining videos. I'm definitely learning about things I never knew about the Southwest. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the great work!
Hey Steve, I just realized what a jerk I am for not having profusely thanking you before for your wonderful videos. My great-great grandfather and mother crossed the country on the Oregon and California Trails in 1845. The met a mountain man named Caleb Greenwood at a fort up north where he persuaded James and Eliza to follow him and his sons on the second journey on the new California Trail. James later helped rescue member of the donor Party after they managed to somehow escape the deep snow, while he worked at Sutter's fort as a blacksmith. They settled in Sacramento, then San Francisco in 1848, and finally Sonoma County in 1850. James fought with the 300 other men during the Bear Flag Revolt in 1846, attacking Sonoma, Monterey, and Los Angeles. James along with three other men took Jacob Leese, the founder of San Francisco, and Mariano Vallejo the General of Northern California prisoner in Sonoma June 1846. James was a 6' 6" private under Col. Fremont and Explorer Kit Carson. Eliza had a tent at Kearney and Vallejo Street on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, and she washed the clothes of the 49ers in Yerba Buena Bay below. I have multiple photographs of Eliza's tent on Telegraph Hill, and an incredible photograph of James wearing his finest clothes and black hat while working as a blacksmith in his shop, surrounded by his bellows, and his personal anvil which iOS on display at Sutter's fort in Sacramento. James was a Freemason, and was a founding member of the first Masonic Lodge in San Francisco. Freemasons like my great-great grandfather were sent to places that were "Crossroads" which were critical to the Etruscan Discipline, and Vegioa's Prophecy. Tempe, Arizona near me was founded by a Freemason as a River Forde on the Salt River. Dallas was founded by a Freemason who built a log cabin on a cliff overlooking the Trinity River where the infamous picket fence played a huge role in Kennedy's assassination which played out while I was home with a concussion. James father was born in 1798, and was a Millwright near Manchester, England, when he an his son left England in 1834 for Rhode Island. Eliza's father owned the four story cotton Mill Nicholas and James helped design and build southeast of Manchester. Get this, Eliza's father was sent to debtors prison when his cotton mill burned down, and the family escaped forced imprisonment at a factory in Millhavan, UK in 1834. Eliza Father bribed someone, and escaped debtors prison, and he along with his family escaped England on the Underground Railroad to Liverpool, UK. From there they boarded the Ship Atlantic, and sailed to Rhode Island. I have fully restored Nicholas's only photograph, circa 1845 before he died in an industrial accident in 1848. I have fully restored over seven generations of my ancestors photographs featuring both the the male and female sides of each marriage. Steve, I can not thank you enough for all of your fantastic videos. You have blessed my life with your fine videos.
Cool video. I went to Fort Irwin in Barstow, Ca. last week. My great nephew got promoted to sergeant. It's another Tank Training base. Beautiful Desert out there.
I learned in the U.S. Army how to rake "Rocks" and it all started in Basic Training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, if you had none to do, You were raking "Rocks", it's funny now, but it wasn't back then. And your right about the tires in the desert now that you mention it. THE SARGE
Thanks for another awesome video. I'll bet you didn't find any cigarette butts on the ground. Being in the Army, you and I both know how many times those guys had to😅 police the area for butts.
When I was exploring Camp Coxcomb, an elderly couple drove up on the dirt road into the Camp. She was driving and he was in the passenger seat. I am quite sure he was a veteran from the camp, and he wanted to see it again. This would have to have been in the 1970's or 1980's. I wish I had talked to them.
Hey Steve, you reminded me of a story from my army days regarding landscaping. I served in the old SADF, and then volunteered for the SANDF. (South African National Defence Force) You probably learned COIN Ops, or Counter Insurgency Operations, like I did. In Afrikaans, COIN Ops translates as TUIN Ops, tuin is also a word in Afrikaans, meaning garden. So when we were tasked with 'voluntary' landscape duties, I called it Tuin Ops, and eventually that became the unit codeword for landscaping. I wonder if higher command was impressed with my battalions dedication to COIN Ops?
Thanks, Steve, for another excellent upload. Great subject matter thoughtfully presented! Plus, that beautiful sky! Cactuses with the rock surrounds are to me, are spiritually moving.
Thanks for the video. I have been through Bouse a few times back when they still held the MS Best Dam Bike Ride from Phoenix to Parker back in the 80s or 90s. I never knew the history. I have also been to the Patton Memorial Museum in Chiriaco Summit off of the I-10 in CA. It was at the southern end of the DTC. While in the Army in the late 70s, we did training at Ft Irwin, now the NTC, at the Northern end. As a WWII buff all of my life it was interesting to walk through areas that Pattons troops were trained at. Seeing large chunks of shrapnel all around you as you walked through old artillery ranges. Picking up clips of M1 Garand ammo off of the ground and wondering who lost it so many years ago.
I so much enjoy your videos, thank you very much. Thanks to you, my wife and I got to visit the Parowan Gap Petroglyphs this summer on our motorcycle adventure back east.
Hey, Steve! So have you done the Camp Young leg of the Desert Training Center, aka Dos Palmas? Before they condemned Patton’s house, I got to go inside. It was cool- there were even signed editions of books on the bookshelf. It’s also the locale of the first spring of the Bradshaw trail. Those “ancient” pupfish are there in one of the ponds, and a couple others had tilapia in them. Just east of the NE corner of the Salton Sea. The best of the DTC!
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad built the rail line between Phoenix via Wickenburg, Bouse & Parker, AZ & Barstow, California to Los Angeles. The combined passenger & freight line opened in 1908. The short line operator Arizona & California Railroad now owns & operates the same rail line. There are advertisement posters of AT&SF passenger service between Phoenix & Los Angeles (via Parker, AZ) which service lasted from 1908 to 1955. More than likely, most of the 10,000 Army personnel that were stationed at Camp Bouse arrived there via AT&SF passenger train.
Your ability to find forgotten history in the middle of no where is amazing. It’s what keeps me coming back. Thanks Steve!
I totally agree with your observation.
@@mtnair3Ditto.
Thank you. There is so much out there I doubt I'll ever run out of places to visit.

Yet another well shot lesson on desert southwest history. Thanks for this video and your service, Steve!.
Ranchers leave those tires out there to put salt licks in for cattle. They put them in tires so the cattle don't break them up. Also, the rocks around the cactus were painted white so that troops didn't walk into a cactus at night, the same with the rocks on the pathways.
CSMs love grass and need to see their peons working. It all goes back to Ft Bliss, TX. One bit of grass and white rocks.
More likely people dumping them so they don't have to pay a disposal fee.

I should have looked to see if it was a 48 star flag but didn't think of it at the time.
I have been there about 25 years ago. Found a few 30-06 pieces of brass. Very cool bit of history. Thanks Steve.
6:37 I'm so used to the George C. Scott version of gen. Patton that I had forgotten what the real general looked like. 😁
Yeah, George C. Scott is so iconic in that role I think he is what most people think of when they think of Patton.
Dang yeah ha 🎯
In fact, I don't think I ever saw a picture of Patton before now. He _sort of_ looks like himself, I guess.
Right
@@delstanley1349 Patton and Puller weren't very dashing and debonair
Thank you for this video!
An arid desert expanse with barely a few traces of former brief habitation.
Spent a couple of weeks at Ft. Irwin on annual training and the environment was just like this.
That era was prior to the age of miniature electronics to control drones, but it is still surprising that they overlooked the fact that bright lights are targets. As they used to say, there are two ways to do something, the proper way and the army way.
Thanks again Professor for your weekly class on the southwestern U.S….old dogs like me can learn something new!!!😂
Great vid Steve and thank you for your service.
Thank you.
Thank you earthling.
It's amazing how you captured the remnants of such an important yet hidden part of history!♥ Can’t wait to see what other historical locations you’ll uncover next! 🌍♥
Yeah. My great weather streak just ended though.
@@SidetrackAdventures I'm looking forward to more great content from you! ❤
Enjoy your videos and history lessons. Thanks for your service to our country in the Army.
Thank you Steve for another informative tour. You were led up the 'garden' path with that concrete path. Your video's and commentary about all those out of the way places in America is why i keep watching. I've said it so many times and will keep saying it, You and your wife would be great tour guides for both Americans and us 'foriegners'. With what you find out about area's in America should be used in American schools as history lessons.
Thanks' again Steve, another good vid.
Thank you.
Thank you, Steve, for letting me live vicariously through your explores ! Another fascinating video!
Good morning Steve. After spending most of my life in the southwest, you find some of the most amazing and historical sites! I look forward to your Wednesday's upload! Thank you for what you are doing. I'm letting my friends and family to check out your videos and if they enjoyed it, give it a thumbs up!
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Steve, you inspired me to take my teens to visit most of the places you have documented. Titan Missile Museum has been their favorite so far. Thank you for educating us all...
Glad I can help. That museum is great. I can't imagine sitting down there hoping the day is uneventful.
Thank you for an informative and entertaining trip into the past. I did not know there was more than one of these camps. I knew about the one near Chiriaco Summit off of I-10 east of Indio CA.
The one at Chiriaco Summit is Camp Young. It was the headquarters of the Desert Training Center. Also, where General Patton had his headquarters when he was there. By the way in those days the place was called Shaver Summit. It was not changed to Chiriaco Summit until the post office was set up in 1958.
Steve, I could not have lived through the rest of this day if I had not known whether that last cactus had a rock planter around it or not…..😊
Seriously, another great video! You and your wife are a real asset to TH-cam. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for another fascinating trip back in time. If only rocks and cacti could talk! : )
Amazing discoveries week after week! you deliver as always.
All that remains is the stunning beauty of the desert landscape.
and the concrete block with the thing poking up out of it.
Thank you, Steve. For your service.
Maybe you could do a piece on the origin of Ft. Irwin, near Barstow in WW2. General Patton built the modern part to train his men for North Africa, to fight Rommel. I think the Army had been out there earlier than that. A very interesting area is "Jack Hammer Pass", the mountain pass halfway from Barstow. You can see the original pass on the left as you enter the pass. It was cut mostly by hand, jackhammers, mules and dynamite. There are photos of the construction and the old fort and Patton himself out there...
The problem with doing anything on Ft. Irwin is understandably, you can't access much of it.
I was OPFOR for 44 rotations at "The Planet", aka Ft. Irwin,Cali. I echo (no pun) the request to do a history of Camp Irwin. I know there were Japanese detainment camps there along with Patton's training excersises. But,alas,I am sure post access is tough to get. I wanted to do an OPFOR reunion there,but after almost 40 years,no one can help me in the quest.
Keep up the good reporting,brother. Tanker Tough!
great research always a good video
Glad you enjoyed it
I have no idea how you continue to find these obscure locations, but I always appreciate them and enjoy them vicariously! Keep it up !
"If there's one thing you learn in the Army, it's how to landscape" got a good chuckle out of me. I've noticed this tradition is alive and well on the Baja Highway at the Mexican Army camps that have been set up to keep a presence and inspect passing vehicles. In the Navy, we got good at polishing brass and stripping/polishing tile passageways. Busy work to keep the military occupied between wars, no doubt.
As always, really appreciate your research. Your drone shots certainly help in the appreciation of a lot of your destinations.
In next week's video you'll see something pretty crazy that an army built too.
Love your work Steve, Greetings from Australia.
I'm sitting in my chair in Dayton Ohio watching this, your videos are awesome! We'll be in Quartzsite with our food truck selling BBQ in a few weeks. Last year we spent Christmas in Las Cruces and then went over to the Salton Sea and just missed crossing paths with you! Small world, maybe one of these days we'll run into you guys
That’s crazy I live in San Diego and never been to the Salton Sea . I have a lot of exploring to do east off San Diego. Been to Yuma, AZ , El Centro Ca and Brawley but I saw the history of Salton Sea . The Engineers messed it up tapping into the Colorado River. It looks like a ghost town now. 🤷♂️👍
I have visited Camp Bouse a couple of times now. Also, the other Army Camps of the Desert Training Center. I will say they all have deteriorated a lot from when I first saw them starting in the mid 1960's. I have come across practice anti-tank mines, pistol and rifle ammunition and 37mm tank "bullets". Camp Coxcomb and Camp Iron Mountain had the remains of the churches. Also, at Rice Airbase, 50 caliber ammunition for the airplanes. I have found your last few videos quite interesting for me as those are places I have visited or camped at.
I'm always on the lookout when I head out to these camps because people still find unexploded ordinance. The last thing I want to do is turn it into exploded ordinance.
@@SidetrackAdventures Interesting that you should say that. Back in the late 40's and 50's there were signs up along highway 177 North of Desert Center, warning people about unexploded ordinance. At the time I was a youngster traveling with my parents.
I was out on the western border of the Goldwater Artillery Range East of Yuma in about '74 and in the middle of the "road", I found a live 50 caliber. I picked it up and put it about 15' off the path and wrote the word, 'Live' in the dirt beside it. A week later I was back out there and picked it up and brought it home. Still have it up in my ammo box surrounded by papers. STL and 43 on the firing end.
@@EmptyHandshake I did bring home one of the live 50 caliber rounds from Rice Airbase. I have also traveled round the Goldwater Artillery Range. The thing I remember most is the tanks and other vehicles parked out there. My problem is that I am now in my 80's and my memory is fading.
@@allenegbert1669ordnance not ordinance
I appreciate this series. I worked in the Mojave Desert, in California, for 10 years and there is so much abandoned history in the West.
My Dad and I took a ride out there years ago. It was really cool to explore the place.
That flag needs replacing though.
If I was local I'd be making a trip out this weekend specifically to replace the flag. Not military myself, but I had a Marine Scout Master, so some stuff stuck haha
The flag was looking a little rough. Was glad to see lights for it at least.
My memory is getting hazy with age, but I thought I remember a VFW club was maintaining the flag. I was looking for something along those lines in Steves video, but I did not notice anything.
Beautiful country and sky. I love it.
Interesting video as always, how you manage to find these little forgotten gems is amazing. Thanks again.
Watching all the way from nz. Love your content. Im too scared to get on a plane and visit all these amazing places so i say thank you for letting me live through your videos. Keep up the great work and cant wait for your next upload. Stay safe steve.
Great video, thanks Steve.
One of the camps was at Needles Cal. I was in the camp are in 1964 with the army and it looked much like this area did.
The one I remember by Needles Cal., was Camp Ibis. It could get supplies from the railroad that ran right by there. Same for the Camps around Rice and the one at Goffs.
Spent time in Bouse as a kid never knew about the Camp but the tank was always there near the bar
Not the George as on Cheers, but Cheers to George for making sure history lives on in the monuments. Thank you for another amazing program.
5:41 thank you for your service, sir!
This is a really great tour of Fort Bouse and hearing the history of it
I'm really enjoying seeing the different places here and until your next
destination have a wonderful week and Thanks.🇺🇲🪖🙏🇺🇲
Very cool! Thanks for sharing…!
Thanks for another informative episode
Thank you Steve for the great tour
Another great fun video. Thank you for what must be hard work to make these interesting stories.
You had a great sky to film that expansive location under :-)
Seems like nothing but miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles of nothing - and yet, you found SOMETHING out there! Thanks so much for sharing this relaxing journey into the past.
Your comment about landscaping in the Army is spot on. In 1986, while with the 82d Airborne Division, we deployed to the Sinai Desert as part of the Multinational Force and Observers, acting as a bit of a buffer between the Egyptians and the Israelis. We had to use the metal tines of a leaf rake to make parallel lines in the sand around the buildings we stayed in when not on patrol in the desert. It was so absurd and the locals who had occasion to enter the camp from time to time just shook their heads.
That may have been to check for footprints!
@@louispaparella5766 Maybe, but the only ones we ever saw were the teeny tiny ones left by scorpions, lol
I was in the 82nd too! 1/504 PIR.
@@SidetrackAdventures I knew I liked you for a reason! I was a forward observer attached to the recon platoon of 2/504 from 1984-1988. AATW!
We had to do the same thing in Vietnam at Red Beach across the bay from Danang Air Base
Another great video Steve!
Have you visited any of the WWII internment sites? There are two close together on the Gila River Indian Reservation at Butte Camp and Camp Rivers. (I'm sure you'd need permission from the reservation to go walk them). It's also near the town of Maricopa where if you come by on Saturdays you can tour an old California Zephyr train car. (Maricopa was moved here from a few miles north because of the Union Pacific train line that's been in the same place since I believe the 1800's.)
I'm sure you'd be able to find some other stuff to do around here (Dwarf Car museum is cool!)
Those are just some ideas. I think the train car thing is cool, but it's a little more mainstream than a "side track" hah it's on the main highway between Maricopa and Casa Grande.
Thanks for the content again! Have a great week! See you next week!
I visited the one near Delta, Utah. Not much left. A great area to live though.
I have visited a few but haven't done any videos on them. It's such a sad part of our history.
@@SidetrackAdventures Steve, I absolutely agree with that, it is super sad. There is one that has a list of names of people who were at the camp that ended up enlisting in the US military and serving almost as a, "you thought we were against you, but we instead fought beside you" type of vibe.
While I agree they are sad places, they are places that need to be remembered for being as disheartening and inhumane as they were. People should be aware that the US did this and it was not out of love, but out of fear of someone different. That the US did not do the same with the large German immigrant population during the war. My feelings are that people should never be confined like that no matter the fear, and hopefully it will never happen again.
I definitely understand your reasoning for not featuring them. I'll keep an eye out for other things to suggest. Thank you, again, for your videos.
@@kyleohara8700 FDR convinced our SCOTUS to rule that internment was legal. It was reversed after the war in Kobayashi v U S
Steve, frorm my 62 years of studying history I have concluded my ancestors were ordered to go to America in 1834, from Manchester, England. My ancestors went from Manchester to Rhode Island, to Ohio, to St. Louis, Sacramento, California, San Francisco, and finally several miles inland from Bodega Bay and the Russian River in Sonoma, County California. Bak then traveling that far in less that 10 years took some doing. Bye the way, their oxen were shot with bow and arrow in Nevada, ditched the wagon in the Sierras, and ate rancid butter, rancid salmon, and Indian acorn bread in Sacramento. Fortunately Eliza wrote a diary, and James was interviewed by the Bancroft Library before his death in the late 1890s. Take Care Steve, cause damn your'e Good!
Thanks for the tour!
Nostalgia from before my time. It's amazing what our forefathers have gone through to give us what we have today.
Another great history lesson!
Great video, thank you.
For all of my reading about WWII and Patton and spending most of my life in the Southwest - this is the first I've heard of this camp and the secret weapon development.
Impressive work, as always Steve.
Steve, I'd venture to say those rock "planters" were once painted and used as a punishment detail.
The sidewalks could have been legitimate training projects by civil engineers in the unit.
You certainly are adventurous! 😂
Funny you should say that. It seems to me that in the other camps the rocks were indeed white. I guess weathering is taking its toll.
Patton's desert training bases covered parts of California, Arizona, and Nevada. They have Patton's Desert Training Museum off of I-10 at Chiriaco Summit in California.
I met G.S. Patton in Palermo, Sicily in August of 1943... TRue Story

We had a secret airbase in Marfa ,Texas back during WWll . You can still see the old runways.
Very interesting, thanks
You offer such informative and entertaining videos. I'm definitely learning about things I never knew about the Southwest. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the great work!
General Patton sure was right about the Soviet Union (USSR) at the end of WWII.
His "accidental" death will be a mystery for years.
no mystery at all. Standard accident
@@davidmoser3535 AND Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone ?????
Hey Steve, I just realized what a jerk I am for not having profusely thanking you before for your wonderful videos. My great-great grandfather and mother crossed the country on the Oregon and California Trails in 1845. The met a mountain man named Caleb Greenwood at a fort up north where he persuaded James and Eliza to follow him and his sons on the second journey on the new California Trail. James later helped rescue member of the donor Party after they managed to somehow escape the deep snow, while he worked at Sutter's fort as a blacksmith. They settled in Sacramento, then San Francisco in 1848, and finally Sonoma County in 1850. James fought with the 300 other men during the Bear Flag Revolt in 1846, attacking Sonoma, Monterey, and Los Angeles. James along with three other men took Jacob Leese, the founder of San Francisco, and Mariano Vallejo the General of Northern California prisoner in Sonoma June 1846. James was a 6' 6" private under Col. Fremont and Explorer Kit Carson. Eliza had a tent at Kearney and Vallejo Street on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, and she washed the clothes of the 49ers in Yerba Buena Bay below. I have multiple photographs of Eliza's tent on Telegraph Hill, and an incredible photograph of James wearing his finest clothes and black hat while working as a blacksmith in his shop, surrounded by his bellows, and his personal anvil which iOS on display at Sutter's fort in Sacramento. James was a Freemason, and was a founding member of the first Masonic Lodge in San Francisco. Freemasons like my great-great grandfather were sent to places that were "Crossroads" which were critical to the Etruscan Discipline, and Vegioa's Prophecy. Tempe, Arizona near me was founded by a Freemason as a River Forde on the Salt River. Dallas was founded by a Freemason who built a log cabin on a cliff overlooking the Trinity River where the infamous picket fence played a huge role in Kennedy's assassination which played out while I was home with a concussion. James father was born in 1798, and was a Millwright near Manchester, England, when he an his son left England in 1834 for Rhode Island. Eliza's father owned the four story cotton Mill Nicholas and James helped design and build southeast of Manchester. Get this, Eliza's father was sent to debtors prison when his cotton mill burned down, and the family escaped forced imprisonment at a factory in Millhavan, UK in 1834. Eliza Father bribed someone, and escaped debtors prison, and he along with his family escaped England on the Underground Railroad to Liverpool, UK. From there they boarded the Ship Atlantic, and sailed to Rhode Island. I have fully restored Nicholas's only photograph, circa 1845 before he died in an industrial accident in 1848. I have fully restored over seven generations of my ancestors photographs featuring both the the male and female sides of each marriage. Steve, I can not thank you enough for all of your fantastic videos. You have blessed my life with your fine videos.
Cool video. I went to Fort Irwin in Barstow, Ca. last week. My great nephew got promoted to sergeant. It's another Tank Training base. Beautiful Desert out there.
I learned in the U.S. Army how to rake "Rocks" and it all started in Basic Training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, if you had none to do, You were raking "Rocks", it's funny now, but it wasn't back then. And your right about the tires in the desert now that you mention it. THE SARGE
Thanks for another awesome video.
I'll bet you didn't find any cigarette butts on the ground. Being in the Army, you and I both know how many times those guys had to😅 police the area for butts.
I'm sure this area of the desert was very well raked in its time.
@@davidclark9150 If doesn't grow, Pick it up. THE SARGE

Thanks Steve
Great video Steve. How many WWII GIs remember that place today i wounder. Thank you for your service Steve. I'm retired USAF.
When I was exploring Camp Coxcomb, an elderly couple drove up on the dirt road into the Camp. She was driving and he was in the passenger seat. I am quite sure he was a veteran from the camp, and he wanted to see it again. This would have to have been in the 1970's or 1980's. I wish I had talked to them.
As always your the best. Thank you...
Hey Steve, you reminded me of a story from my army days regarding landscaping.
I served in the old SADF, and then volunteered for the SANDF. (South African National Defence Force)
You probably learned COIN Ops, or Counter Insurgency Operations, like I did.
In Afrikaans, COIN Ops translates as TUIN Ops, tuin is also a word in Afrikaans, meaning garden.
So when we were tasked with 'voluntary' landscape duties, I called it Tuin Ops, and eventually that became the unit codeword for landscaping.
I wonder if higher command was impressed with my battalions dedication to COIN Ops?
Thanks, Steve, for another excellent upload. Great subject matter thoughtfully presented! Plus, that beautiful sky! Cactuses with the rock surrounds are to me, are spiritually moving.
Thanks for the video. I have been through Bouse a few times back when they still held the MS Best Dam Bike Ride from Phoenix to Parker back in the 80s or 90s. I never knew the history. I have also been to the Patton Memorial Museum in Chiriaco Summit off of the I-10 in CA. It was at the southern end of the DTC. While in the Army in the late 70s, we did training at Ft Irwin, now the NTC, at the Northern end. As a WWII buff all of my life it was interesting to walk through areas that Pattons troops were trained at. Seeing large chunks of shrapnel all around you as you walked through old artillery ranges. Picking up clips of M1 Garand ammo off of the ground and wondering who lost it so many years ago.
I forgot about the M1 Grand clips. I have found a few of those myself.
I was there 25 years ago. Interesting history for sure.
And in 25 years I’m sure nothing has changed except maybe more tires. 😂Steve has a great channel.
Thank you for your service, Steve.
I so much enjoy your videos, thank you very much. Thanks to you, my wife and I got to visit the Parowan Gap Petroglyphs this summer on our motorcycle adventure back east.
Oh wow. I bet that was a great trip. Those petroglyphs are amazing.
Hey, Steve! So have you done the Camp Young leg of the Desert Training Center, aka Dos Palmas? Before they condemned Patton’s house, I got to go inside. It was cool- there were even signed editions of books on the bookshelf. It’s also the locale of the first spring of the Bradshaw trail. Those “ancient” pupfish are there in one of the ponds, and a couple others had tilapia in them. Just east of the NE corner of the Salton Sea. The best of the DTC!
My Grandfather was in the 740th tank battalion and spoke of this secret training in the dessert.
Steve, happy belated Veterans Day from a brother vet! Great video, definitely top 5 for me of yours :) Keep them coming, love your content!
Hi Steve. Loving you guys and sending positive thoughts and prayers.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad built the rail line between Phoenix via Wickenburg, Bouse & Parker, AZ & Barstow, California to Los Angeles. The combined passenger & freight line opened in 1908. The short line operator Arizona & California Railroad now owns & operates the same rail line. There are advertisement posters of AT&SF passenger service between Phoenix & Los Angeles (via Parker, AZ) which service lasted from 1908 to 1955. More than likely, most of the 10,000 Army personnel that were stationed at Camp Bouse arrived there via AT&SF passenger train.
Fantastic, love your work!
