Castle Dome Ghost Town - Yuma Arizona
These ghost town buildings are the remains of a much larger town once housing 3000 people. The Castle dome mining district had roughly 300 mines mining silver and lead. But today it's a museum with artifacts discovered in many of its mines. You have to drive through the Yuma proving grounds on a dirt road to get here. It's about an hour northeast of Yuma, Arizona. It has old bars, a church, barbershop, hotel, bunk house, cemetery. There are about fifty buildings in total and you'll need about two hours to see everything. There are thousands of mining era artifacts and it's worth the trip.

Castle Dome Mines Museum - Yuma, Az.
This was done last weekend before the much hated sinus infection. We were out there on 01/03/09. This place is great!!! This was one of a few bars in the town. This was an old mining town outside of Yuma, Az. that was going to be burned down. Allen and Stephanie Armstrong are the ones that basically put this place all together moving the buildings to this location. From a mercantile, church, blacksmith, and so much more, this place is amazing! Not only the buildings but everything inside. Very impressive.
At Milepost 55 on Highway 95 north of Yuma, turn onto Castle Dome Mines Road, head NE following the signs. It's 10 miles ahead. 2 miles paved, 8 miles gravel.
If you want to see pics that I uploaded you can to go myspace.com/mykylsplace in my photo albums.

I do not get paid for any of my cameras vehicles or anything I review,
Vehicles I'm using in some of these videos are,
A 2009 Electra glide ultra classic. I have done some modifications to it. Some of them you can see at the following link.
A Dodge 2007 RAM 2500 series diesel pickup.
I have added many modifications to it also but as you will see in the video below I'm having a major problem with air-conditioning.
The RV we are using right now is a Montana built by Keystone is 2009, 38 foot with four slide outs. Once again we have added many modifications to the fifth wheel trailer.
This video will show you a little of the RV and also what you should do before you hit the road.
Here is a list of cameras that I use,
I use a Sampson galaxy 4, cell phone for a lot of the videos. Because it's usually close by when something happens.
I also have a GoPro Black Hero 4, that I will be using for most of the road shots.
I have updated from my 2017, Topjoy 1080P Full HD 2.0 inch LCD Screen Waterproof Sports Action Camera, as you can see in the video below this camera never was really clear.
I also use a Canon Rebel Ti1, I have used it taking a lot of still photos, and of as late these Christmas light photos and videos in this link.
Starting this year 2018 I have a new addition to my camera group, it is a Sony Handycam HDR CX675 Video camera.

Yuma, AZ The Names, The Narrows, The Skyline, Castle Dome. Snowbirds and Razors.
This is a trip made in January 2015. We joined friends for some 4 wheeling. The Names is a place where folks have written their names in stone across a desert. The Narrows is a sliver of a canyon cut deep into the rock, the highlight being The Squeeze. Castle Dome area is full of beauty. I would highly suggest a stop at the museum there. The Skyline Trail is an impressive trip that follows ridges through the nearby mountains.
