The graves are dug to standard depth, but because the ground is so Rocky, the stones are separated from the soil. After the grave is filled in, the stones are placed on top, forming what's called a Carin. This was done to prevent animals from disturbing the grave due to them being dug shallow back then because they were hand dug, and since it was such hard work the graves were not dug as deep as on the east coast.

@dianasworldoffixingthings4090 6 лет назад

You are the man when it comes to making videos! I've been watching you for 3 years maybe a bit more and I remember when you only had 10k subs and you stopped because of weird people but then you started it again and look at you now. almost 140k subs. I'm so proud of you how you have overcame your obstacles. You have totally owned this and there is no other channel like yours. You are one of a kind and so is Jax. I love the colors in your videos and your energy. I wish the best for you and I will always be watching as long as you have a channel. Be safe out there and keep up your great work.

@billy42069 6 лет назад

Really Well said Hey, I've Been following Eric since the beginning of his channel and respect and have learnt from his sharing That so many ppl have no comprehension of what life is like through our own eyes, or even try to do that.... i.e... Eric has done an Incredible Job emotionally over the years just dealing with that and has survived both emotionally and fiscally... so has definitely also earnt a Big Kudos from me to him for being Better than the sceptics as Person, in the long run, Cheers

@vickistrickland4490 6 лет назад

You are pretty much the only RU-vidr I watch anymore. Enjoy the content of your videos more than any others. Love Jax as he reminds me of a cat I once had. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos.

@ronwasser4852 6 лет назад

As A Child I remember the wood burning cook stove. On Friday nights there would be a galvanized wash tub placed in the corner next to the stove and filled with hot water heated on the stove for my weekly bath. Had to be squeaky clean for the trip into town on Saturdays. The outhouse brought back memories also. No electricity we used kerosene lamps in the house. Kerosene lantern on night trips to the outhouse. Another Great Video Eric Huggs for Jax.

@kyliescrap 6 лет назад

I went to Calico back in college, for a geology field trip. I remember it being so windy tents blowing over! Cool place. Thanks for the tour.

@RebaKennedy 6 лет назад

Hi Eric, nice video. Seeing you return to that restaurant got me wondering -- would you consider making some Top 10 videos for travelers? Things like Top 10 Cheeseburgers West (East) of the Mississippi, Top 10 Local Brews, yadda yadda. Thinking you probably have old video archives to grab stuff from .... Of course, we know that Top 10 Salads will never be on the list (unless Angela does it) :-)

@elainerollins8024 6 лет назад

Another great video and so well narrated. You make our day with your personality and sense of humor. You seem relaxed and happy and maybe Angela has something to do with that. We watch her channel and she has a great personality as well. She tells it like it is and is down to earth. She is a great partner for you. Stay safe and hugs to Mr. Jax.

Hey Eric, Check the sensor rod on your air conditioner. Cat Litter forms a film on the rod and it won’t work the way it should. Sand the film off the sensor rod. You may have to take a wire and clip off to get to it. We have to do it twice a year because of our litter box.

@theodoresharp4824 6 лет назад

Thanks for showing us these sites. I would not have heard of this place without your channel.

@onthegroundtraveladventure5953 6 лет назад

That was a Knott’s Berry Farm property in the 50’s and 60’s.. Knott’s did most of the current remodeling that you see today. The Gablers who own Peggy Sues Diner near by took over the calico house restaurant in the 90’s, they’re ex Knott’s Berry Farm employees.. the Knott’s also own the Barstow station, which at one time was the busiest McDonalds franchise in the world...

@DavidIrthum 6 лет назад

Great views and I loved the twilight time lapse of the clouds passing your RV. You are lot braver than me entering those caves.

@asphaltadventurer 4 года назад

One thing to keep in mind is that RV rooftop AC's are only rated to lower the ambient temperature 20 degrees from outside air temperature so if its 100 outside, 80 degrees inside would be considered operating properly. It's called a Delta T test.

@Freed22805 6 лет назад

Had the same problem with my AC unit. Did a bunch of research and decided to start at the cheap end. Installed a new thermostat. Works perfect after.

@nomadicfanatic 6 лет назад

thanks!

Dude...glad to see you happy.. Was watching this and thought ....why is Erics voice different...then it hit me...he's not pissed , he's happy. Glad to see you happy.

@themichaelvortex4784 6 лет назад

Whoh! I heard that breathing... or whatever... in the tunnel. Creepy! Maybe a GoPro on an RC vehicle with rope tied to next time? Putting Calico on my must see list! Thank you!🤘🏼👍🏼

@jayfigg7981 6 лет назад

Love your adventure Eric! Thanks for sharing.

@SpiritBear12 6 лет назад

A friend of mine who lives in New Mexico told me that almost no one has basements because not far under the dirt is all rock, like a huge sheet of rock that you really can't dig through. I'm not sure how far down that is, but most basements and graves are about 6 feet deep. Those graves in the desert are most likely pretty shallow. The big piles of rocks on top are to help keep animals like coyotes from digging up the graves and eating the bodies. My grandfather once caught a big woodchuck in the garden. He dug a shallow pit for it and put him in there (dead) back filled it and then put a bunch of rocks and bricks over the hole so the neighborhood dogs wouldn't dig up the woodchuck.

@minutesagoedited9761 6 лет назад

Much better than the "Travel Channel" on cable!

@kathyadam9932 6 лет назад

The caves are Mines Creepy just the same. Thank you for sharing. Been many years since I was there. May be Quails, the birds. If they had a funny feather on their heads then it's Quail. You were so brave to go into that cave. Be careful of rattle snakes etc. perfect place to find them

@adventureswithgnomie6553 6 лет назад

They are buried & rocks to keep critters out. Neat video.

@sherrydonald9822 6 лет назад

Gosh, I remember the first time going to Calico Ghost Town...way back in the 60's. The only thing I remember enjoying about that trip was a root beer float ( :

@williamjordan811 6 лет назад

neat ol place... actually the caves were fun to venture into..... from my chair in Texas!!! hehehe Cheers and as always God bless.

@mikebateman8021 6 лет назад

Eric I don't usually comment too much nice place really liked it little expensive but it's nice when you're with her thank you I love you videos I love Jack too specially

@jrandyoutdoors 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing Eric. That cave was a little scary! Y'all be safe.

@michaelosborne9135 6 лет назад

hey eric. I grew up in southern CA and I went to calico ghost town many times with my family. It has been many years since mmy last visit and it has grown a lot. thanks for the video.

@tmbuchtel 6 лет назад

We visited Calico when we were kids (about 60+ years ago.) Back then it was just a few falling down cabins. Sure is cute now.

@lanksterprice 6 лет назад

Fish eye view in doors works really good as it gives us a wider view point... We can see things better then with just a narrow view point

@christinetaylor5726 6 лет назад

Even my kids love your channel. Safe travels. :)

@ColetteMalette1 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing Eric☺ Ang sure is pretty and has a calming effect on you. Can hear the contentment in your voice and the gleam in your blue eyes❣ Happy for You!

@DavidSmith-vo3nd 6 лет назад

Thank you Eric!! Yes be careful of those tunnels you never know what's inside them, as for the birds they look like quail to me.

@supersami7748 6 лет назад

FYI. I’ve been going to Calico for decades. The hookup campground has been there for at least 20 years as well as the cabins. The restrooms were refurbished about 4-5 years ago. It’s the overflow and OHV part of the campground which is why the sites are so close. The nice hookup sites there are to the first loop to the right after the check in booth.

@nomadicfanatic 6 лет назад

Interesting. I was there last year, and that part of the town was not open at all. Perhaps it's been being renovated for more than 1 year then. I'm glad it was availalble.

@JannaMontanna 6 лет назад

That bird was a quail. We’ve been to Calico before and you found cool stuff that we never saw! Thanks! They have a bluegrass festival there each year in May. If you’re back in the are then, you should check it out! I’ve heard that that lower campground where you were at times fills with lots and lots of OHVers. I think there’s a lot of OHV trails in that area.

@DonkusMaximus 6 лет назад

Eric, the bird is a Chukar. Some people also call it "Prairie Chicken". It's good to eat, tastes like chicken.

@annacummings5841 6 лет назад

You think that cemetery is strange? You should see the spirit houses in the Yukon and Alaska. They build actual mini houses over the graves and loved ones leave personal belongings in them. They range in size from 2-3’ feet high by 4-5’ feet long to the size of a small shed. It’s super creepy.

@sjr7822 6 лет назад

I love those tiny cabins, I could live in one of those

@ashleycouncil9443 6 лет назад

I just discovered your channel about a week ago and I have become completely addicted. I would love to be able to do what you do and I really appreciate you including us on your journey. I also love Jax's cattitude! He has an amazing personality. You have probably been asked this a million times and I apologize, but I am super curious as to whether or not you have ever considered traveling up into Canada/Alaska or down into Mexico. I know that it would be kind of a pain to cross the border, but--at least with Alaska--it seems a shame if you can't cross as many states as possible off of your list. Safe travels!

@fr3atlast448 6 лет назад

And I’m sure you changed the filter on the a/c....neat place to visit!🚍 and those grave sites have the rock to keep wild animals from digging up the corpses.

@sunsetlife5053 6 лет назад

Had me a little scared when you were going deep inside that tunnel Eric. Glad you turned around.👌

@dreiser92626 6 лет назад

Awesome place!

@ronpeted 6 лет назад

Nice tour . I'll need to check out Calico next time though...

@keetrandling4530 6 лет назад

Eric, I've cooked on one of those cast-iron wood-fired stoves!

@paulfleming6350 6 лет назад

I agree with cleaning out the fins on the evaporator and condenser. However, your problem sounds more like a bad thermostat. RV thermostats are famous for wide temp swings in off and on. Go to Home Depot or Amazon and get a digital thermostat. Not real expensive, easy to install and digital thermostats are much more accurate. Enjoy your videos. My Wife and I have been RVing off and on for more than 50 years including 3 years full time 2003-06.

@lanksterprice 6 лет назад

AC needs to be checked... prob time for a charge up.. when the pump gets to hot it kicks off when your low on Refrigerant. Prob need some 134a to top it off and then you should feel it kick that temp down some....

@nancyvelvetrose5432 6 лет назад

You crazy nut!! You had me scared in that case. Great video.

@beachbumsforever529 6 лет назад

Great ghost town, and it was sweet that you had the whole campground to yourselves ;-)

@twdenman1 6 лет назад

Thanks Eric. Your bird find might be a Road Runner. Ted

@DestinationOpenRoad 6 лет назад

Nice campsite to be at for a few days, even better when it's empty. Safe travels

@zootair 6 лет назад

@dianalake9430 6 лет назад

Those look like Road Runners, meep, meep. Watch out for Chupacrabaras though, especially in the caves.

@misertravels4545 6 лет назад

Hi Nomadic Fanatic, I am relatively new to your channel and enjoy your travels and videos very much. I do have a question. I have been going back through your videos and can't find anything, but I am curious about your security system and cameras. Do you have a video about it? Do you have an installer or did you do it yourself? Thanks if you have anything you would like to share.

@centralcoastcamper9631 6 лет назад

Hey Eric, I think it would be cool if you had some glow in the dark Nomadic Fanatic stickers made up for the times you travel into dark places like mines and caves to let people know you were there, lol.

@51foxy 6 лет назад

Great video buddy, thebirds look like French partridge. I am sure I could hear a bear snort in that cave. Atb from the uk Paul

@paulhermsen3405 6 лет назад

keep on posting your doing great and hope you get where you wanna go. good luck

@dougd9944 6 лет назад

LOL...LOL.... Love you in the Mine... I have done the same thing and found myself running out as well..LOL... Doug from Vegas That was a QUAIL..

@sueg2658 6 лет назад

Bird might be quail, or related to quail. Nice video. Glad a bear or Sasquash didn't chase you.

@cyndifoore7743 6 лет назад

The birds are partridges. You couldn’t get me back in one of those caves, tarantulas, bats etc. this time of year the snakes could be out sunning themselves. Someone, maybe Destination Open Road, videoed this place before the cabins were put in their final places. Those are some steep prices for the little bit of room you get.

@m.d.grimes1622 6 лет назад

Very interesting, you know you're getting old when you hear times that you remember well referred to as history...

@YFZMoto 6 лет назад

You missed Dinner those are Chukar and Great Eating too :)

@backroadbirder3316 6 лет назад

We need to get you a bird field guide. It looked like a Chukar, as it seemed too big for a quail. Chukars are an introduced game bird.

@free2roam492 6 лет назад

Love your saying "Don't gotta pay a lot, just gotta pay attention!" Sweet.

@johannquis 6 лет назад

the bird looked like a desert pheasant... maybe. or a short legged road runner [that wiley coyote can finally catch] ;)

@andygray1612 6 лет назад

I've been there before it was destroyed by a fire. Nice too see it came back.

@TheAdventuresofMrMrsB 6 лет назад

Looks like the park has a nice setting but I just need space. Way too tight for me. Restaurant looked busy, good sign. Liked the house museum. Interesting cemetery.

@JewlofTheNile914 6 лет назад

Eric I,m the same, very curious,I would of went half way in the cave.but not all the way,specially if I heard a noise like u did,Wow!! That was funny how u came running out,I betcha JAX would of went all the way,cause cats r very curious.have safe & good day.

@jackmearl 6 лет назад

Hey Eric. Really enjoy your videos. I was wanting to ask you if you were still having trouble with the brake drums?

@sylviajones4907 6 лет назад

I heard that too! Scary!

@southernrebel159 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video, it looks really purdy there. I watched the bear scare video and got a little tickled, it was somewhat childish but also funny. Sometimes you just can't pass up doing a good practical joke. Anywho, keep making videos, take care and YHVH bless brother.
