It is near.....ish it is out on s wells draw road on the way to nine mile canyon. About 2 hours away

@@notgiven9362 I appreciate your concerns as to removing official markings and route markings.

That might explain why these surveyors were so mad at me and my neighbor moved a few rebar and some deck spikes. The rebar were close but we put them in the right spot and I saw them put the deck spikes in any old spot they were all red in the face yelling and transversing from the section point or line something like that. They even came back at night and buried another rebar in that spot and said they found it with their metal detector my ass I don’t trust those guys always been suspicious to para guys who spend all day in the woods together. Sorry just my two cents about surveyors 😂

@@jrnymn14 you are welcome 😁. It makes me smile to get messages like this. I am glad you enjoyed them.

@@chuckzehnder530 thanks, bonus . . Lol. I like to explore and I am glad you felt like you were along with me

@@JOATMASTERofNo1thanks, I love the high desert. I think you are talking about the ancient Egypt stuff that some claim is in the Grand canyon? I have never seen it but there is a guy called "the why files". Who talked about that area and other fun stuff

@@paulwilson2542 I am glad that you enjoyed the trip. Thanks!

You are welcome, it was a great find for me.

@@itsdaveynft glad you likednit

Sorry? Lol what is a melted building?

Thanks, it is nice to have other opinions. I thought they were natural occuring but I saw no evidence on the ceiling. But then my eyes are going. Lol

My question is what kind of drone your using

@@jonathanbizotii-rj4rv thanks, thanks for putting a name to it. It was pretty neat. I wish I had more time to have flown around it. Maybe on my way out

@@jonathanbizotii-rj4rv I fly a Dji mavic 3. It's a great flyer. And I have been using a DJI avata 1st Gen

@@jonathanbizotii-rj4rv are you from this area? How did you hear the name. I have found nothing..... Yet. Thanks

@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 hello there my friend for 30 years I used to hear people that live near that area say that even when I went to school in Kayenta they would say people in longhouse valley area your bus is ready I remember that

And the weather is really cooperating.

I didn't get over to the pool but it looked like it was filling in with trash when I flew the drone over it.

@@chewy999 ummmmmmm thank you for your eloquence? As noted it was a route 66 tourist trap for close to 70 years. However, that does not take away from its historical significance and the facts. Also, what definition of cave are you using?? All that being said, Thanks for watching

I've been in the cave, camped in the mountain lion exhibit when we broke down there n 2015​@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753

@@macdonly thanks! I enjoy going into caves. I am glad you like it as well

Thanks, it was

@@paulaljones3384 thanks I know you would have loved to go inside

@@billysgarden-u9s you could see where water might have run through it from time to time. Thanks for watching

@@ravingraven879 I know right.... After listening to the audio I felt like a 10 year old. Poop

I am glad you liked it. i enjoyed going there

You are welcome, If you get the chance to get back there it is well worth a repeat stop over.

You are welcome, thank YOU for coming along with me.

@@TheRealDonLayton and.... They have lasted for hundreds and hundreds of years.... More or less.

@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 Yep, amazing people. Amazing culture. My comment isn't meant to disparage anyone. But still - stacked rocks and mud. Rocks don't break down very quickly. 😅

@TheRealDonLayton thanks for getting it. Lol

@@TheAnarchitek that would be a natural progression it they were following the receding waters. At some time there was a large movement of water. I think you are correct

The Southwest is filled with signs of raging waters, sometimes hundreds, even thousands of feet up a cliff. It's a pretty amazing story, the people who first inhabited the region, and left all the ruins behind. Arches, Canyonlands, and Monument Valley, were carved by waves of rushing water that hit the dry-as-smoke caliche plain, and carved it out in one pass. The waters carried away huge pieces, massive boulders and other chunks of the ancient seabed, doing even more damage, further "downstream".

@@isorry123_ I've heard about this lava tube for years. It was kind of neat to finally get to see it. I thought it was easy going, however, that night my knees were throbbing

@@RobertJones-b6j coconino national Forest up here outside of Flagstaff, is doing a lot of work to remove the years of Deadwood and diseased wood to hopefully make the force more healthy. It sure is open underneath.

@@isorry123_ maybe. Not a lot of water fall in this area. Maybe there is a spring at the bottom of the cliff house in the canyon.

@@davec9244 some of the cliff dwellings have Moki steps cut into them. But I have seen some that I think they flew up to. Lol

My pleasure.... From one old man to another. Lol. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, I am just glad my eye is still in.

I have heard your theory espoused before. And I think you may be close to the truth. I have heard that the Aztec and Mayan migrated north.

@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 exactly I think that's what the kivas are part of probably incorrect spelling I'm using the microphone function but you follow along

@@chrisk7626 I don't follow the kivas? Are you saying that might have been for sacrificial purposes?

@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 I'm saying my spelling may be incorrect those big circles in New Mexico that are perfectly geometrical. Those are an amazing feat of engineering when seen from above. I just love talking about it I don't think we're ever going to figure out anything unless we get a time machine. I appreciate the dialogue between us.

@@chrisk7626 I agree with the thought of open discourse. 🤔. I think the large circles are easier to perform than say an isosceles triangle. I think the triangle is a much more difficult concept due to its rarity in nature. Does that sound right?

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it. It's a fun place to explore

@@LanceJorgensen thank you. It surprises me how difficult it is to find names for these places.

@@slimmishler5525 you are welcome. Thanks for coming along

@@davec9244 glad you liked it.

@@7hilladelphia didn't they. Good bottom land for crops. I found corn cobs about 2-3 inches long at one site I went to

@@7hilladelphia I am glad you you are able to come along with me. I always enjoy the company.

@@7hilladelphia I feel your pain. My Mother in law had shingles ... I understand it is very painful. I will keep you in my prayers

@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 thank you sweet hearts kind people, good news, pain management is starting to kick in, praise God. Thats cool you found good sturdy suze corn cobs in the bottom land area. Its a magical place... deep breathe in my mind as if being there. It is very special.

@@jaywalker8309 hmmmmmmmmm not sure who this mythical "you" is that you keep referring to. I am well aware that the majority of these sites could be as old as 1400 years old and a limited amount that are far older. There is a cave system in the canyon that I am very certain can trace it's usage back multiples of thousand of years. But thanks for pointing out that the dry desert climate tends to preserve things far better than some people may think

@@jaywalker8309 keep watching, I am planning on heading back into Arizona and revisit some of the list pueblo sites

@@ryanm8572 if you were in the right spot that is entirely possible. Pay attention To where they were and they get easier to find.

@@dr.pepper6688 thanks for the input. I had thought that I might look up any studies done on the sites that had markers but honestly.... I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions? Thanks for watching

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it. Look for franks canyon road, Utah and it should show up. No, I did not see any elk but I did meet some elk hunters. They said the elk were higher up.

@@standingbear998 or 1200 or more years ago. Yep you are correct in your brief statement but that is what makes it so interesting, it could have been much longer ago as well. Most scholars believe in the date being older than 50 years old. I have questions when the walls are dry stacked, but if you look closely and watch the videos you'll see I point out where the original mud bobbing is still between the stacks. But everybody has their opinion and what they want to believe. Take the videos for enjoyment and do your own research. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe for more. Be safe

@@davidsadler4878 evening Dave, sorry that was probably not me. I have been up in Maine for about 4 months. I am hoping to get back out to Utah this winter. If I do, we can definitely meet up and do some exploring. Thanks for watching and I am glad you liked them

@@davidsadler4878 can't speak much about franks canyon, I know that private property is well marked up w nine miles and you have to stop but the rest of the canyon is pretty much open to exploring. The lower canyon has a lot of private property but the upper canyon is nice to get out and explore. You know what they say.. .. just be respectful.

Sorry It took me so long to respond, I thought I had. I agree what is hiding under the debris? Take Rasmussen cave, they excavated quite deep under the flooring I understand. I did get into one cave up there that was completely.... Well not completely but significantly filled with sand. What was under all that sand. Almost me😜 as I had to find another way out than the one I came in on. Safe travels and thanks for watching

@@arlahunt4240 Thanks! I feel bad, I have one more video to post but.... I wish I could re shoot some of the pictures. I am up in Maine now but hopefully I will be back in the desert this winter. Thanks again and I am glad you enjoyed them.

@@lynnhavili5332 thanks, I can't wait to get back out there. There are some truly wild petroglyphs out there

🤔 first arrow head I ever found in Arizona was made of red sandstone. And I am also a knapper and have made them out of slate, shale and sandstone. I am with you, they are not a sturdy point but they can be made when other material is not readily available. Also I just did it for fun to see if I could. But thanks for watching. Be safe and I hope you enjoyed them.

Ninemile Canyon at its north end, was dug by the last of the water that flooded southern UT, west-southwestern CO, northwestern NM, and northeastern AZ, that I mention elsewhere, creating what I refer to as Lake Anasazi, a nearly 400-mile northwest to southeast, and 300-mile east to west inland sea that occupied the Four Corners region for nearly 3 millennia, before finally draining away, in the f1st Millennium AD, leaving the Anasazi, descendants of the Fremonts, to walk away in search of greener pastures. A massive amount of water poured over southern Wyoming, into Utah, pooling above the line of the Uinta Mountains, at the gap where Ninemile Canyon sits, eventually digging out the length of that canyon, as all the water began drain away, two thousand years later. It probably took close to a millennium for the water to make its way to the lowest spots, then down into the Grand Canyon, and off to the distant Gulf of Baja California.

Civilization moving forward. Now instead of pictures we use..... Pictures 👍

@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 The overwhelming sense of ennui, because the Universe dwarfs us to insignificance, causes us to desperately lash out, to leave some indelible trace. Those "petroglyphs" were the only canvas available to the Anasazi and Fremont People. I am of the opinion the "hands" were a "me too!" movement long ago, by those caught in the web of time, when there were no cameras, interstates, or internets, only another day in an isolated wilderness, with despair, danger, and death their only options, besides "grin and bear it".

The "crumbled area" in between, 1:38--1:53, looks like mangled debris (I'm sure there is a proper geological term, but I don't recall it), created when the upper slab of unbroken ancient strata was pushed into place, by the same forces that elevated the Colorado Plateau, up and over the chunks of its continuation, now underneath. The immense weight of the upper piece would have liquefied any debris caught between, pushing it under, to create the "band" that acted as "grease", to facilitate the move. When the pieces stopped moving, the water that had invested the region began its exit, leaving the assemblage to dry out in the desert sun for almost 4,000 years.
