If you're traveling on old Route 66 from Kingman, AZ to Oatman, AZ, make sure you stop at the Historic Cool Springs Camp. Its a great photo opportunity.
Cool Springs is on the eastern slope of the Black Mountains. John Steinbeck included a comment on this particular stretch of road in his book, "The Grapes of Wrath". In his book, what was it Pa Joad said about this old road as he looked back at it from the safety of the Colorado River? Didn't he compare those mountains to the bones of a country? This was the Route 66 of the Grapes of Wrath and the Mother Road of Cool Springs.
From the very earliest days, Cool Springs camp and service station was an important stop for motorists traveling Arizona's Route 66. Cool Springs was built in the mid-1920s and has been connected with Route 66 from the very start. The legacy of Cool Springs reflects the larger story of Route 66. The Mother Road gave it life. The hey-day of Route 66 was the hey-day of Cool Springs.

The old backlot, or, Streets of America, at the former Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World had a lot of character. The backlot was demolished for the construction of Galaxy's Edge at the renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios.
The backlot was a lot of fun, but the reasons for why they were built to use as filming locations in addition to the tourist aspect of it, was never fully realized. It was also the former home to The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights from 2005-2016.

The General Patton Memorial Museum was built to inspire such reverence through exposure and education. Quality of life for each visitor is directly tied to the health of this nation and we strive to ensure each visitor leaves the museum with a renewed understanding of that. We are committed to providing a place to learn about preserving the past and ensuring the lessons it teaches us are carried to future generations.
The name General Patton was selected because he had actually handpicked the site and was the first commander of the DTC with Camp Young as the headquarters for the Desert Training Center, eventually training over a million men to go into the WWII effort. This became the world’s largest military installation both in size and population stretching from Arizona to Nevada to California. Leslie continues to work for the BLM and resides now in Colorado, and Margit lives at Chiriaco Summit and continues to serve as an active supporter of the museum.
The first year was spent creating a 501(c)3 and forming an MOU with Bureau of Land Management which continues today. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had a mobile home that became the first office and repository for information and artifacts. Senator Presley helped the Museum to obtain the old Coachella DMV office which was moved to the site at Chiriaco Summit. The land was donated by Joseph L. Chiriaco and Ruth E. Chiriaco, pioneers of the area. In 1986 five more modules were purchased creating a 7000-square foot area to serve as the museum building. Construction began in earnest in 1987 with a solid team of retirees from SCE headed by Jerry Rusche. This group of men worked long and hard creating the interior spaces of the museum, cleaning up and modifying the spaces, installing new electrical, refrigeration, heating and everything else that went into the interior space, as well as overseeing the exterior plastering of the building. The rock was donated by the Whitewater Rock and the Sea Bees were the volunteers, who installed the rock walls one summer.

The rock was donated by the Whitewater Rock and the Sea Bees were the volunteers, who installed the rock walls one summer.
The foundations were constructed and donated by Modern Alloy. The firm of Krieger and Stewart donated the engineering for the facility, and Joe Aklufi did the legal work. Corky Larson, Riverside County Supervisor also played an important role in the project. The first really professional exhibit was the MWD topographical map – the map shows the vast regions of Southern California where the massive aqueduct was installed bringing the much needed water to Los Angeles.
The availability of water to the DTC is the main reason that Patton selected the area for the DTC and placed the camps accordingly. This is aside from the fact that this desert area so mimicked the areas of North Africa and he could train the men in these harsh conditions preparing them for their eventual service in the war.
During the building process, personalized engraved bricks were sold to finance parts of the project that just could not be donated. Today there is a large wall area covered with bricks, both large and small, which are still being sold and installed. Over time, the building was beginning to look more like the General Patton Memorial Museum. This transformation took many hours of volunteer service. The Museum was ready to open on November 11,1988 at 11 in the morning, coincidentally Patton’s one-hundredth birthday.
I few months ago I had the opportunity to sit down with former Disney Imagineer & Disney Legend, Rolly Crump. We discussed everything from working with Walt Disney to his design and input on many iconic Disney park attractions.

MEDIA RELEASE
The World was shocked today by the breaking news that Podcaster Nathan Rose has finally accepted the challenge to debate MiceCast and IMW Podcaster Greg, about his extreme views of Disneyland Resort and how it fails in comparison to its big brother Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
This ongoing battle has been simmering for months and it is reported that Rose recently stopped producing his MouseTunes Podcast with co-host Lou Mongello due to fears that the MiceCast / IMW Podcaster would appear on the show and challenge Rose's views on air.
The world wide media has been shocked by today's announcement as it is widely believed that Rose, who enjoys drinking "ladies drinks" and mixing soda with beer would never be heard from again. Rose has now reappeared on a new Disney Podcast called the Magical Definition Podcast, and one again is sharing his extreme views on all things Disney.
This week's announcement has divided friends and countries as they chose their corners and backed their favourite Podcasts.
The Queen of England reportedly stated today in the London Times that, "I hope Mr Rose is Victorious. That Greg character is quite vile and rude. Give me a man that mixes lemonade and that devil's brew called beer any day. Mr Rose sounds quite civilised, and although there sometimes appear to be no substance behind his argument, he is a gentleman and I am confident that he would be very close friends with my corgis".
In the other corner supporting the MiceCast / IMW Podcaster, Ex World Champ Mike Tyson, has reportedly stated on the tonight show that " Greg's the man and as a man, I need to support a real man, do you understand me man. Greg is a good Pod Focker, or Pud Myster or what ever you call those guys that make that noise to come out of those white things when you put them in your head." Tyson continued, "I am always willing to give Greg an ear or at least half of one, when he needs somebody to talk to. I would like to think that I have been a bit of a role model for him over the past few years, and if you listen to the man's shows I know that there is a bit of my learning's being said in there". My boy Greg is going to beat Roses arse real bad, I will be there to dispose of the mess when it is finished."
Even television and movie identities have waded into the debate.
Embattled Movie Icon Mel Gibson was quoted through his second cousin's wife this afternoon, stating that Gibson blames Rose for the reduction of family values, the falling rates of Christianity in the free world, and the increase in the price of girly drinks at Disney, due to Roses outrageous statements regarding the Disneyland Resort.
The New York Times have claimed that Baywatch's Ex Babe, Pamela Anderson has stated through a home video recording, that she is rooting for Greg, as she believes that all men should burp, fart, drink beer and know how to use a video camera. Anderson continued, "I love Greg's engineering background and when he finishes podcasting, I have got some work for him to rebuild two of my assets that require some professional assistance."
Due to the extreme worldwide interest this debate is having, we have committed to bring you updates as they occur.
To keep up to date with daily developments we recommend that our readers listen to the MiceCast and Imagineering My Way Podcasts for their information and enjoyment.
Please don't forget to recommend to your wives, lady friends, mothers and grandmothers that Nathan Rose's Podcast can be found at MagicalMountain.net for their listening enjoyment.
