Back in the 40s, my dad was friends with Tommy Cleator, whos dad (James) the town is names for. My dad and Uncle would pick up Tommy and theyd drive to Jerome. They would take the Senator Hwy to Prescott then drive over the top of Mingus Mtn. I guess, from the stories I was told, fights with the miners was not uncommon. Have lots of stories...

Have you ever been to Jerome @brianwalker? Awesome place!

That dog was super friendly. Loved the general store and school. Great ghost townand I love Arizona, especially Apache Junction and Prescott.

Cats aren't grumpy. They are just kings of earth and are annoyed by humans, unless you have treats

Those two cats are only grumpy because they're outnumbered by the dogs. That and they probably aren't getting enough treats. ;-)

😂😂😂 right ✅

The school had a beautiful floor and ceiling! Just 1.5 hours away from Phoenix.

Oh Ms Jeepsy!! What a find! 👍 Just love this little ghost town in Cleator, AZ 😁 So thankful that you stumbled upon this quaint little town! The weekends there must be happening big time there, with ATVer's running around all the roads! 🍻🌭🪕🎸🎤🎶🎵 Thanks so much for sharing this cute little ghost town....🏜️ A diamond 💎 in the ruff!! 😁👍

Amazing video Sarah I really envy you getting to discover and explore all the back roads of America Keep Smiling Beautiful Lady Gypsy❤

They're doing some really nice work there. Love these types of remote locations.

Cleator and Crown King are assume!!! Hung out there for years when I lived in Cordes Lakes. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻

Ghost towns are always interesting and sometimes a little spooky if you stay the night. Nice review of this location. Thanks!

Awesome, see that pressed tin ceiling.. cool

❤ hello Sara I love you you make me happy thank you so much for sharing your friend Gary❤❤

I love Arizona. So many cool places to explore. Another great video Sarah!

Great find Sarah. I live in AZ and now Cleator is on my list.

Great camerawork as always! No surprise-you are so kind to the canine population-among others!

Some of the places that your journey takes you to, I would love to live in at. And it doesn't matter whether it's a ghost town or not. I'm not scared of ghosts. Thank you again for a great journey

Good Video!! Was reading about the Bradshaws a couple of weeks ago ...

Very cool little town, Sarah! It was awesome of Corey to open up the general store and schoolhouse for you as well. I'm just glad that I don't have to work that type of gig when there are no more than three people backing me up with hundreds of tourists at once! Good for them though; that will probably tide the town over for another year. I hope someone can fix that freezer!

That is awesome I like places like that

That's a neat little Ghost Town

Was little one mad at you with the other dog's scent was on you? lol, I have a little dog that looks like little one, his name is Otis, he was a rescue dog from hurricane Isaac, he's an old dog, but dances around when he sees me getting food for him. P.S. he loves french fries ☺

So cool! Thank you for finding a little bit of history tucked away in these fabulous old towns!

How cool. Wish that people would do something like that with the little ghost towns I have around here. Would make for more interesting things to do. One ghost town not far from where I am is where my grandfather was born in the depot. Safe travels for you and little one 😊

Very nice video!👍 Looks like Cleator is a happening place these days. I enjoyed seeing some of the other buildings, as the bar is the only place I have been in. Nice restorations in progress. Thank you.🙂

Such a cool little ghost town that Korey was willing to share. Thanks for sharing.☀️🌻😊

Nice tour of Cleator, thanks!

Wonderful. Thank you.. I waited with anticipation to see if you went through the door haha

I love ghost towns , this one is so rich in history. Thank you for sharing 😊

As always, Awesome tour of the nice places you find to check out. Have a great day

Loads out here 😊

Very nice..you were smiling entire time..made me smile.. thank you lady 😀

Great video! Love your vibe! Can't wait until the next one❤❤

Good video and thank you much. 😅

Ha ha! I remember when "Hippies" came into Jerome Arizona, started selling home crafted items. Actually brought in more and the town saw a growth spurt, tourists equated money. Most who moved there just wanted some space. So, when Sarah points out the Hippies use back door sign I remembered that. A lot of these old Ghost Towns are good places to live....if you are accepted by those there ahead of you....and the small gold/placer miner can make some bean money! Thanks for such a cool visit Lady!

cool I love old towns and back country areas.

I told my sister next time I’m out to visit her in AZ she needs to take me to Cleator. Great video Sarah! ❤😊

Nice job covering the history of the historic town of Cleator. I thought you meeting Corey what is an exceptional find and he turned out to be a fine fellow by offering to take you inside a couple of those old buildings and showing the care he and others have taken to preserve that history by doing such a fine job restoring them. You're really pumping out the content Sarah, I just hope you're still finding time to take it easy so you don't run yourself too thin doing what you love. You're just getting better and better at finding your voice and producing great videos.

Nice drone footage Sarah. Great perspective of how out in the middle of nowhere Cleator is! Boats in the desert, well after all it is a bar and yatch club. Awesome tour of the older buildings there thanks to Corey and his fur buddy.

Great video, we loved the adventure and your narration! Happy trails out there fellow Jeepster 🤙🤠

It always amuses me when I pass through a little town in the middle of the desert and see an old ship parked in the middle of town 🤪

I live in Montana, so I see that sign everywhere we have a Bar named Roadkill Cafe and they do have a back door for Hippies

I also like these kind of places

Hi Sarah, great video. I enjoy small towns with lots of historical stuff and can't wait to hear about the old railroads. Cheers 😊

Awesome place!

You are one hip and happening hippie! Thank you for broadening my horizons.

Hope you start getting better! Sorry to hear you were in the hospital 😒

Senator Tenney told me at dinner one day he would drive the old Ford truck backward up the hill the back way into Prescott. It was a gravity feed gas line as the tank was in the dashboard and when a hill was steep enough it would dog and die . So backward up the Bradshaw's . Good job Jeepsy ... Saw you with wonderhussey.

Great video👍👍❤️❤️

What a awesome place ❤. Thank you 😊 🙏

People do consider me a hippy, so...🙂😃😁😅😂🤣 I enjoyed your video and you are very much alive, Sarah. 🙂

kewl find.... Great Vid, thanks for sharing.

love Cleator...nice to take a drive and have a coupla beers...:) :) :)

That was a cute little place! Nice find!

Make sure you have a drink at every old small town you visit. The bar is always the last place still open.

Great video Jeepsy. ❤🎉❤ Yuu and Sarah are the coolest explorers on the tube. Romani, savorsah Romany? Kushti rarti. ❤

Sure enjoyed! Glad I found you again.

Cool history! Thanks for sharing✌️👍

Don't know where your from...glad you enjoyed your visit... your no where near off roading but if you do happen to get deep in the Bradshaw mountains you will be very amazed at the beauty and will infact see many old mines. Cleator is just scratching the surface....

Thanks…great job!

Great video cool bar lots to see. Thanks for sharing❤

Well worth the watch. 👍

And driving from Cleater to crown king is tops on any bucket list 7,000 ft elevation

Another awesome vid! Stay safe and have

Thank you for the vidio sarah, thats a really cool area, enjoyed that!😊

I want to come to this place ❤That event that’s about to happen in a few weeks sounds super fun!❤I love Burning Man so I’m sure I need to check out this event sometime 🎉Thank you for always showing the best places around!

I’ve heard that place is a blast!!

Very cool

Oh man that place looks really cool. has a few geocaches and is less then 70 miles from me. I do believe I will have to visit and make a geocaching cleator video

What a cool General Store!! And Bar. I can see me picking up a few things there….and leaving a dollar for wall decor!! 🤣 if it’s in Arizona…..it’s very cool to explore! Have fun!! ❤️❤️❤️ you really should check out Jerome!! I am in love with that town!

Cheers! My first video I have seen of yours. Cleator I have been to many times (they have PRR at the bar there) but you have shown me more history than I have explored when I have been in my groups. Must explore your other video's to see more. Thank you !

That is the Cleator Yacht club, that place is hopping on the weekends.

Cool place. I might get a chance to check it out soon

I do wear my seat belt! Can't drive my jeep if I don't! It's under my arm.

Arizona had some cool places if you're willing, like you, to get out and look.

Just stumbled across your channel and have binged quite a few episodes. Love your stuff! You probably get asked this alot but have you ever stumbled across anything spooky or something you couldn't explain? I love anything scary or paranormal and have read loads of accounts of people sleeping in camper vans being visited by sasquatch... one chap even had his whole camper van rocked and lifted up and down by something large one night! Keep safe and keep doing what you do... can't wait to follow your adventures!

You are well on your way to Crown King and much cooler weather

❤ this place looks like a sleeper. I bet it gets crazy at times 😂😂😂. I can just see it

I think this is the first video of yours that I have not seen the little one. Hope the puppy is ok.

Thanks!

So cool! I love exploring. It's my goal to start exploring and finding awesome history and old mine sites. I would like to start a channel or something like that. I would call it disabled exploring lol. You give me inspiration thank you.

Nice they are saving those old buildings, I'm sure the general store will be a hit with the visitors. That place has changed a lot since I was there 25 yrs ago. I stopped at the bar and had a beer, the bartender was a old guy...guess he's gone by now. History is so interesting.

Great Video! Just Subbed

You should go to the town of Young in Pleasant Valley. Crazy history in that area with a feud between ranches similar to the Hatfield's and McCoy's. Also ancient Indian dwellings.

As a long time resident of Arizona (almost born and raised here) ... I believe the town is pronounced (clee - a - tor). at least that is how I was taught, and have pronounced it all my life. My mother used to live near the bradshaws, went up there with my step father hunting rabbits, and doing a little indian artifact hunting.

6 miles past Crown King is a little lake called "horse thief Lake". It's really nice up there in the summer. If you get a chance try to make it to the lake.

You definitely find some off the way places. Lots of history there. I bet during the get together that place is awesome. I wonder where they get their electriciy and their water. Perhaps a well out there somewhere.

40 yrs ago bar had dirt floor‼️
