Thought Ukraine dudes were all on the front line. You have time to watch videos? By the way….did you (personally ) get any of the billions we sent ya?-or is the cross dresser getting it all (after the crook democrats in US get there cut)?
Amazing to see Arizona, and southern Arizona at that, so green! But deserts do green up quickly when they get water. Thanks for the ride; it was beautiful.
Oh, I loved Globe. Visited an amazing Mexican restaurant there twice. The first time I walked in they were playing an Eagles song.... doesn't get any better than that ! Old-timer Englishman wishing I was still there travelling in Arizona.
I love this whole area, hiked and camped (tent) several times since 1992. The mountains you mention are to the West, the Dragoons, to the East, much bigger are the Chiricahuas. Oldtimer Englishman reminding myself of past adventures. Bisbee used to be a major coppermining town. It's now an artists retreat, once almost a ghost town has been revived. Well worth a visit.
@@K_DZ236 yes, sadly you are right. They've gone over the top, it's like a circus show. I can remember sitting under that huge rambling rose, I wonder if they've put fairy lights around it now ?
Thank you Mike for a great video of Arizona. It was good to see it all green and the mountains were beautiful. Yes it would be nice if you come back this way is to see Tombstone up close. Have a safe trip sir.
I've driven between Benson and Bisbee back when I was stationed at Ft. Huachuca; the desert southwest has THE best night sky I've ever seen, anywhere. Now I really miss Arizona.
There's a guy here in TH-cam under the name of Neepervision who travels out to Arizona every summer, to do time lapse videos of the monsoon storms, and the lightening. Beautiful photography, and the night stars, etc too.
Hey Mike, great to see you on utube..we wondered where you were because haven't had you on my utube for ages.. great that you're back..cheers from Melbourne, Australia..
Thanks Mike , you just did part of my bucket list.. Tombstone and Bisbee.. Have wanted to see Bisbee after watching the movie L.A Confidential which one of the main characters was from..
Well, this was totally different than what I thought AZ would be like. It's so green!! The shot of the Wall was a nice surprise too. That border town had no bums and junkies like we have by the hundreds here in CA - impressive. Good to have you back Mike.
I guess I missed seeing this one when you first posted it. I'm glad to have caught it today. Fantastic scenery. Most informative about how diligent law enforcement is near the border. Sad, but understandable.
Back in 1976, I was driving a 2.5 ton flat flat bed pulling a flat bed 22 footer, I left Phoenix, Az., empty to El Centro, California to pick up a load of 60 40 Ammonia Nitrate Fertilizer, I was pulled over by the CHIPS for an inspection on I8, the Smokie actually got out the white gloves he climbed underneath the duce1/2 and proceeded to wipe down the underside of the truck. The week before I had sandblasted the truck underneath and frame and then repainted it black, the cop couldn't believe it to be this clean, the company I worked for had 12 of these trucks. These trucks were called FABCOs they were field trucks all wheel drive 3axel, usually they're loaded with caked on mud, in Arizona. The highway cop thought he was going to write tickets for a half hour, he asked me if I had scrubbed the bottom of the truck with a toothbrush, I still laugh about that to this day. Well Mad Mike I love your utube presentations, God Bless and Keep The Rubber Side Down: Keep On Truckin.
Nice ride Mike, greenery and sand , light cloud and sunshine, what more could a hitch-hiker ask for but a shady cab to ride in with pleasant commentary via the driver. Oh and cameras everywhere, so if I drop off to sleep, 10 to 1 it would be recorded.
In Tombstone, you went right by the high school that I attended in 1959 and 1960. It and the whole town looks exactly the same. Southeast Arizona was a great place to grow up!
Hey there brother your truckin close to my neck of the wood’s tombstone is about 55 miles from me get our Dodge serviced in Sierra Vista. I had to go looking for your videos. I don’t get any alerts anymore but glad to see you’re still out there hitting the road. Be safe dude.
That's true, about the cops out there. When Route 66 was the only way through Gallup NM, there was a cop that would sit back under a railway trestle along the Santa Fe and catch motorists coming off of I-40 down into town from the east end of town. That was 1978, but I don't think much has changed.
I'm new to your channel, I live close to Benson az it cut my attention to read traveling from Benson to Douglas, I am familiar with those cities since I live in sierra vista az be safe on the road . Bless you
I used to cross the border from San Diego to Mexico quite often back in the 80's and 90's. It was easy to do. Some fun and fond memories of those days.
Tombstone absolutely gorgeous woodwork bars backbars didn't see any dings in the wood from being transported in a wagon Kansas City st. Louis amazing thank you
Love this video, Mountain Man. You were talking about Iron Eyes Cody, the American Indian who did the commercials about littering. Ironically, he was not really a Native American but actually an Italian American from New Jersey who embraced the Native American Life and Culture. Feel free to look up and verify that because it's true. Thanks for the view of Bisbee, Arizona. A Dear friend of mine was going to show me around there because she grew up in Bisbee. However time and life conspired against me and unfortunately she passed away before I got the chance to come out and see the town. Take Care and Happy Travels Always!
I live i Douglas, AZ and just watched this video. On your way out of town Im guessing you didnt stop at the weigh station . That was probably the reason Adot police followed you. We have such a serious problem of human smuggling here. The scenery was great and yes we have had a strong monsoon this year and last. I watch you a lot, particularily Colorado. Look forward to new scenery.
Back in the 1970’s we had the Tennessee Trash video on tv it’s still on TH-cam I think Ed Bruce sang it. It was epic and I still play it for younger people today.
I have one of those Bluetooth receivers and it works great, I use it to play music from my phone through my stereo.Im old enough to remember Woodsy Owel saying " Give a hoot don't pollute ". I remember driving across Wyoming in the 70s and there was trash in the ditches from Evanston to Cheyenne, it's not like that now.
Hi sir, I follow You, long longgg time ago, but today enjoyed the trip so much, thanks for sharing you job, I traveled for USA and Love that beatiful places, I hope came and driver over there again, Habla muy bien español saludos desde Panamá. Nice Job, Nice Nice☺️👍💪
Beautiful scenery. I was tracking your trip on Google Earth. You mentioned using a drone over the copper mine. The mine is huge, a drone video would be impressive. Don't know if they'd let you.
Mark Munro. Manitoulin Island Ontario Canada . I hand a bus tour through all of these places and the Mexican deserts copper canyon. The people were kind and the food was really good.❤
Your inspection gap coincides with the covid lockdown! Sounds like "the law" just got back in business. 😉 You surprised us tonight with the new video. I enjoyed this a lot. Tombstone is on my bucket list for someday, now I've already seen the roads to get there.
I wouldn’t waste my time , Tombstone, that is. Been living here since ‘77. What was once interesting site to visit (back in ‘77) is now a shell n tourist trap. Very disappointed last time we visited it - just say’n.
@@K_DZ236 I'd understood they have movie sets to walk around and see, and re-enactments of historical events. Maybe things that were cutback by covid can now re-start soon. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check into things before I make any commitments to drive there.
@@rayrussell6258 The last time we went there was long before Covid - 2006, so it had nothing to do with that issue. Yes, they have a fake shoot-out; the bird-cage theater and some stores to buy trinkets. That’s about it. IMO it’s not worth the trek. It’s entirely up to you, even the hotel we stayed at was rundown and rather seedy. Definitely not the original setting….even the tombstones were outside of the perimeter….
Hey brother, I'm trying to set my kit, Ludwig 8 pc(drummer 30 years now), I just bought up for recording to share on a church drum group I'm with, I also drum at church. I've been in touch with techs at sweetwater but caught your vid today and like the way you've put yours together actually. Might be cheaper and more simple. How can I connect with you to get a idea on the layout more in-depth? Thanks and be safe...driver!
Yea Roland V drums (electronic) are excellent quality. Plugs right into Bluetooth and phone to play along to any song. Got them for recording only for my band. Couldn’t be happier for under $600. Anyone who would like to hear the quality of the drums on one of my bands recordings, you can shoot me your email address and I’ll send you some in MP format. I’m also the lead vocalist. Rock on Mountain Man, I’ve been with you since the first wild snow video .
There is a great leather worker, shop in Tombstone. Worth a stop. This is not the real boot hill. The real one was moved to make way for a gasoline station. There is no price reduction to tour Boot hill, for seniors or military.
Other than the gorgeous scenery on this vid, i've done more laughing. What a wonderful grandfather, with working with Myla and like so many of us, well, me included, the chance to harass my grand children, "hey mine". For some reason my grandson named my wife Buzz, so when i see him i say "My Buzz" and then the fit hits, no, no, no my Buzz he says and off we go and then my son says, "Dad, don't harass my kids" I want to know what are grandparents really for? Keep up the vids Mike, you make em, we'll watch em. SEE YA
Those mountain's are either the chiracahuas or dragoons....the Chiricahuas are the Apache's hunting and sacred grounds and are in the Coronado NF....you really need to go over to Portal, AZ
You didn't show us Saint David, between Benson and Tombstone ... too bad ! All forested, shade everywhere, Saint David almost looks like New England. Some other time ... RICHARD
Doc Holli-Days is this weekend in Tombstone. This will be the 6th year of this event and the first year I cannot make it. This highway is a beautiful drive.
Thank you for helping to develop my English listening, also for the beautiful scenery. Best wishes from Ukraine 🇺🇦
i wish and pray for you and your family Max to be kept safe.
Thanks everyone for support 👋👋👋
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
May Jesus give you peace and protect you

Good to see you Mike; almost missed your video; nice area in southern Az😎😎😎😎👍👌
Thanks for sharing your videos watching from California
Amazing to see Arizona, and southern Arizona at that, so green! But deserts do green up quickly when they get water. Thanks for the ride; it was beautiful.
Good morning, enjoying my morning coffee while riding shotgun and such a beautiful drive. Really enjoy your videos and commentary. Safe travels Mike.
I'm happy you're posting videos again. I've missed the road trips. Thank you.
I remember that commercial. Was around in the early 70's, and once in a while we still see it.
Iron Eyes Cody. Full blooded Italian American.
@@billy2182 lol....I'm crushed! Didn't know that!
Anyone remember "Give a Hoot Don't Pollute" the anti littering owl ?
I'm a native Indian from San Carlos Az. I live in Wyo now. But I really like watching your videos, especially when you go to Az.
Oh, I loved Globe. Visited an amazing Mexican restaurant there twice. The first time I walked in they were playing an Eagles song.... doesn't get any better than that ! Old-timer Englishman wishing I was still there travelling in Arizona.
Great persistence with your music set-up, Leader of the Band!
Gorgeous Arizona, wearing the green.
Great trip especially the border, missed your videos
The southwest has such a beautiful landscape
Riding shotgun thank you for your videos I really enjoy watching them I wish I would be riding with you God bless you
Sahuarita reporting in! Great video! Thank you! Yes, lots of rain these past 3 weeks! Thank God! High of only 87 deg here...wonderful weather!
Wow the pretty green desert there. I guess those monsoonal rain real help! Great to see!
WOW!!!!! Hard to believe you're in AZ, so green this year with all the rain...
Glad to see you, all the best!!!
That’s a great idea! Agua Prieta means dark water. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the ride! I haven't been to Southern AZ. The desert was beautiful.
I love this whole area, hiked and camped (tent) several times since 1992. The mountains you mention are to the West, the Dragoons, to the East, much bigger are the Chiricahuas. Oldtimer Englishman reminding myself of past adventures. Bisbee used to be a major coppermining town. It's now an artists retreat, once almost a ghost town has been revived. Well worth a visit.
Yes, Bisbee is a lovely town - Tombstone is a waste of time. Been living here since ‘77.
@@K_DZ236 yes, sadly you are right. They've gone over the top, it's like a circus show. I can remember sitting under that huge rambling rose, I wonder if they've put fairy lights around it now ?
@@martinforrester8249 probably right - it completely changed and was a huge disappointment! Perfect assessment - a circus show!
Nice scenery. Drive safely my friend. God bless you. 🙏
Thank you Mike for a great video of Arizona. It was good to see it all green and the mountains were beautiful. Yes it would be nice if you come back this way is to see Tombstone up close. Have a safe trip sir.
So glad to see you posting again. The desert is beautiful during the monsoon. See you next time Mike.
Nice drive Mike. Took me back down memory lane. Thank you. Safe travels.
Good morning everyone hope you have a good day. 445am here getting ready.for work. Stay safe.
I LOVE going on rides with you!! Beautiful Country and enjoy your conversation!! I hope to see you again soon!!!! Take Care!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

@@michaelmorgan7893 I appreciate the recommendation, Michael! I'll definitely check out his channel.
went to Ft. Huachuca for sensor training when i was in Marines 1970...had a good time lol
Omg, I love and miss the desert southwest sky at night. I'm in boring New York now and I want to live out that way.
Been here in the high 🏜 of Arizona for 25yrs and never looked back. Love the beauty in so many ways.
Hey Mike, great to see you on utube..we wondered where you were because haven't had you on my utube for ages.. great that you're back..cheers from Melbourne, Australia..
Thanks Mike , you just did part of my bucket list.. Tombstone and Bisbee.. Have wanted to see Bisbee after watching the movie L.A Confidential which one of the main characters was from..
From one drummer to another........eso mero Miguel.
I just re-discovered Freddy Fender and Los Tigres......good drum beats.

You need to go visit the desert 🏜️. Sunsets are incredible. 🦊
Good morning Mike. Another great video. Stay safe.
Close to where I live. We had good rain this monsoon season - nice and green not to mention not too hot.

so thrilled to see a notification today , love your videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello MMM thank you for sharing your experience with thoughts.
Yeah that Indian name is Red cloud, Sioux Nation
In Tombstone, you went right by the high school that I attended in 1959 and 1960. It and the whole town looks exactly the same. Southeast Arizona was a great place to grow up!
Enjoyed the ride 🛣️🙂☕
Hello MMMike! Don't get hijacked by bandits. Run over them. Safe travels
