 Hey everyone, Shea Bear 1000 here. Today we're going to do a revisit of the Richelon Fire Tower. The last time I was here I crashed a drone, did a pretty bad number on it, so hopefully that don't happen again. So I'm gonna take you over here and show you the tower. I'll do the best I can, my back is killing me today, but I'll show you the tower and then we'll put the drone up, get some footage of the tower for you. So stick around, it should be fun. Okay guys, so right over there is a historic general store. It's been there for years and years and years. I'll tell you more about that later monkey and I went in there last time we were out here. Really cool place. So let's get you, see if I can turn this up and turn my screen so I can get you. Okay, so I guess we're going to have some sun issues, but there's the tower. Old fire tower used to be able to go up on it, but last time we was out here you couldn't. I don't know if it's still that way, but there's no way I can climb them steps today, even if it was open. So let's go ahead and let's get the drone up. It's up there good ways. I can tell you how high it is once I get the drone up to the top of that. But yeah, I hit it clear up almost to the top of that. I'll throw a footage of it in right now. The story on that is that one wasn't GPS or anything, so you had to fly it and I was flying that monkey was talking to me. I'm blaming it on her, but it's technically my fault because I shouldn't have talked to her when you're flying a drone or aircraft or anything. So it's kind of my fault, but she don't need to know that. And I crashed it and it fell all the way down to the bottom and bent a couple of the motors up. I mean the drone, I got it fixed after that. It'll still fly to this day, just not. It won't fly like it used to. Alright, let's get the drone up in the air. There you go, no crashes this time. Get up to the windows, right at the windows, even with the windows it was a hundred feet. So there's no information about it on this kiosk. There's a kiosk here, but there's no information about how high it is or anything. Monkey walked over there and said it's still blocked off. They still got the chain across it and it's locked. So yeah, that's the ways up there. I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to do it today anyway. That's okay. So yeah, there you go. Revisit little better drone footage this time, huh? And you didn't crash. That's what I just said. Better drone footage, better drone. Yeah. So I'll throw some still images in after the video, at the end of the video. You want to check out the store? Yeah, I'm gonna do a short. Okay, but do you want to check out the store? Sure. I'm gonna see if, yeah, after. Do you want to check out the store before we leave? Yeah. Okay. I want to see if I can film in there. Oh, okay. That'd be cool. Yeah. All right. Hang on guys. Okay. Monkey's looking at ice cream. I have to be careful. So this is the original post office. Ice cream person by Diabatics. Oh, yeah, be real careful, yeah. So this building's been here since what, 21? 1928. This one was 1928. The first one was 1922. Okay. Didn't it burn down or something? The first one did. First one burned down. So this has been here. It's been in operation since 28. Very, very cool. I was telling the lady here that when I was growing up, I got to my grandmother's every weekend out the farm. We called it in about a half a mile from there. There was a little store like this. A little country store. Had a little fruit stand. It was called Boyd's. We do chores around the farm and we get 10, 20 cents a piece. Me and my brother and my two cousins and we would go buy penny candy and this place is like the spring back memories to me. Got all this stuff here. This is awesome. I remember my grandmother hanging hams up like that in the meat house. Really, really cool. Black licorice for your mom. She loves that stuff. It's really cool. The original post office. Did you see this? Yeah. That's the bow drill kit. The bow drill. Yeah, the bow drill. Oh, neat. You've never seen me do one of that. It is, but it's fun to them though. Yeah. Something different. How much is this? That one is $26. That's pretty cool. She's getting this one. She wants me to do a video on that. I'd rather have that one. Really? Yeah. I'll look at that one and I'll put this back. Okay. We'll get the bow drill kit. Upcoming video guys as soon as my back gets well again. Got all these games. Remember this? When I was a kid, we called it rebound. Check this out. Not cool. Toolbox. The magic spring. The slinky, the slinky. Wonderful, wonderful toy. Walks downstairs and loony and pears and makes a slinkety sound. A thing, a thing, a marvelous thing. Everyone knows it's slinky. Got all kinds of stuff here guys. They sell eggs, pocket watches, razors. This place is awesome. Little hatchet. A lot of cast iron. Are these cast iron hooks and stuff where they made locally? No, they're made, uh, company out in New Mexico that makes stuff for the reenactment shows and make them for us. So they're, they're hand done, right? Yeah. Yeah. Company out in New Mexico. Amazing. That's cool. Remember these? Rock candies? All right. Got everything you wanted? Yeah. Okay. Next time we'll buy some meats. Huh? Maybe a cast iron. Like that Dutch oven. That's why we need that Dutch oven. Oh my God. I could bake you bread and cakes. I'd have you out there by the fire every day. By the fire every day. You know we're in Florida, right? That's okay. You'll be fine. You can come into there every once in a while. She always, she always makes me. He's a cook in that house. Build a fire. And he likes to cook things on the grill. He likes steaks on the grill. I'm like, it's 97. You want me to build a fire? Yeah. Oh, look at that. That's cute. Yeah. Did you see this? Paddle boat? Oh yeah, this one. With the rubber band? Yeah. Isn't that cool? Yeah. All kinds of, kinds of cool stuff. Yeah. All right, guys. Hang on. Okay, guys. Here's some history here. If you want to pause and read that. But the first one was built in 1922, and it burned down. And this one was built, where the original one was, this one was built in 1928. So they rebuilt it. Her husband's uncle built this place. And ever since, well, since 1922, it's been family owned and operated since. And so this is the building, the original building of 1928. Family owned all them years. And some of you guys aren't interested in this, but I am really, really interested. I mean, these doors and windows are original to the building. This whole building's original. I'm sure it's probably had a roof put on it, but like the siding and everything. Oh, they got our camera. They got the same cameras we got. So, but yeah, the siding and everything that's all original to this building. Like I said, I'm sure the roof has been replaced at one time. Maybe not. I mean, those 10 roofs, if you kept them painted, they'd last forever. So it could be the original roof. I didn't ask about that. But the doors and windows are original, built in 1928. So hopefully you guys can see that sign there. But this, this is awesome. Monkeys over here getting, I think she's going to short, I'll get out of her way. The Rich Loam General Store. Very nice people every time we come in here. It's just, and they got benches out here because you can get the hand dipped ice cream cone and sit there and eat your ice cream cone. Yeah, really, really cool guys. All right, so I'm going to end this video here. I want to say thanks for watching. I appreciate it. You guys are great. And we'll see you in the next one. Hope you enjoyed. And Shea Bearer met the man legend. I'm out of here. Monkey's taking a short. Monkey's taking a short. We'll see you guys soon. Bye bye and take care.
