It Hasn't Seen Sunlight in 10,000 Years!!

- I'm camped in a wonderful spot near Sedona, AZ. It's called Wet Beaver Creek and there is some amazing history all around me.
Today I head over to Montezuma Castle & Well National Monuments. There are some cool cliff dwelling built by the Sinagua Indians around the year 1100. Montezuma's Castle is a 5 story building built high up on a cliff face overlooking Wet Beaver Creek. The Sinagua people completely disappeared around the year 1450, however, they left dozens of villages behind all around the Verde Valley, Sedona and all the way up to the Flagstaff area.
Montezuma's Well is particularly interesting because it is a completely enclosed ecosystem. There are 5 species that live only here. There is the Montezuma Well diatom, an amphipod, leech, water scorpion and a snail. Many of these animals feed on each other, but they also support ducks and other migrating wildlife.
Now, I know a few of you love the drone shots, so stay until the end for some awesome flying by my friend Barron around my campsite.

I went to both of those places in 1984 with my grandparents it was the best summer of my life god how i miss them
I've seen this place probably 20 x's from other YT'ers but you're the only one who provides "data" about the history, one thing I think everyone enjoys from your channel 🌞 Arsenic? How is that good drinking water? Love the ruins, such incredible construction. Have to think, like the Anasazi's the actual primary reasons was for defense... 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
With the red rocks, green flora and blue skies, you just wont find any better scenic colors! Thanks for sharing!
You make me want to be a better person . You have an incredible talent . Give this woman a tv show . Thanks so much .
No one does it better than Bex! Thank you so very much for sharing ❤️
You are a wonder, Bex. I live in the swamplands of Louisiana. Thanks for showing me something completely different and spectacular. You remind me why I like vanlife vids. Thanks for brightening my day.
Possibly your best video ever. Superb! Thank you so much. Cheers!
Thank you! :-)
Dave, i agree.
This is like watching the Travel Channel. Excellent music, editing, narrating. Keep up the great work.
I have said it before, you have the best eye for photography and selection of music I wonderful!
You are so talented! You do a marvelous job of capturing your surroundings and explaining the history. I’m not sure how you find all these wonderful sites but I want to thank you for sharing them with us.
What a fantastic adventure! Thanks for bringing us along!
I am sure everyone reading this will agree,,,,,,,,,,Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! I wish you posted more often,,,,,,but it's worth the wait
When I was a kid growing up in Arizona, they allowed you to climb up into the site. They had ladders you climbed up on. I’m glad they don’t allow you do that know.
Outstanding video Bex, when you opened the door I was thinking, "Watch that first step!"
Thank you for showing the signs for the paths ... I always pause the video and I read what it has to say.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you again. Enjoy your week.
Wow Bex, your videos continue to inspire and uplift! Your content and quality is phenomenal! Thank you for taking the time! ✌🏻&❤️

Been to Sedona several times. Now I feel like I haven't been there at all! Thank you so much for the views it's gorgeous and for taking us on Hikes I could never do. Best TH-cam video ever!
Another excellent Bex production thanks.
So interesting Bex I'm new so slowly going through your catalogue of videos. Found this so informative and beautiful. What a life 😊🍃
Out of all the history teachers I had back in school. You are undoubtedly the best. You really do your homework in making videos. Outstanding!!! 😊
BEX THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO EVER. BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING. ALL THAT INFORMATION WAS GREAT. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA.
You are a wealth of knowledge. I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your travels.
You cracked me up with the beaver joke, wasn't expecting that! Great vid Bex !
Ahhhh....wanderlust in the mist.. .thanks for letting me hitch a ride on the Usal Road with you. Thrilling, Chilling, and Revealing!
Your musical choices are always perfect for the surroundings. Thanks for that. Not everyone gets it “right”. ❤️👍🏼
I keep saying it, and i keep meaning it: Bex's videos are always epic. Truly a treat for everyone who watches and follows along.
That may be your prettiest camping spot ever. Wow.
Bex that video was the best video I have ever seen of the area. So beautiful and informative. I have walked the castle walk but never got to see the well and surrounding areas. How hard is that area to walk? The color was outstanding. Makes me want to go back. Thanks. Have fun👍❤️✌️
Thanks for improving the view from my office. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for spending your break time with me! :-)
When you opened your door my eyes filled with tears from the beauty! Unbelievable, unspoiled beauty! I don't think I would ever want to leave this site. Thank you for sharing your travels and the history behind the places. Your videos are very informative!
Beautiful area and well presented. Loved the drone shots.

The last scenes seriously gave me goose bumps. Nice drone footage with perfect music.
Love all the information, and your hats!
Great Vid as always!
Thanks for sharing, loved it
If I camped that close to a canyon wall it's a guarantee I'd fall off while drinking my morning coffee.
What are you putting in your morning coffee?!?! LOL
:-D
@@BexCatherder Half and Half, but I'm not ever truly awake until the second cup.
Wow! What a view!!! Thank you so much for taking me along to see places I would never be able to see. You are an amazingly talented woman. God bless you everyday and may all your travels be safe. ❤️
That is a beautiful view. Thanks for taking us there with you.
Just discovered you this evening. How incredible!!! Needless to say I hit all the buttons. Thank you for all your work!
Possible future talking points:
* In general, how do you find your camping places? I don’t need GPS, but do you use more word of mouth or Apps? Do you go to Ranger stations for MVU maps?
* Do you travel in groups? Although you seem to be alone, many times friends around at end.
* Yes, Food please. Recipes. Ingredients list. Mentions. Vague suggestions. Anything. My 30 hotdog variations are are on iteration 1,546,249. Help.
* Video equipment.
* I’m still looking through your old posts, so apologies if any are already covered.
Just found your channel - it is so refreshing. One of my favorites for sure. I binged on your videos yesterday, you do beautiful work!
I just subscribed. I live in Chino Valley, Az. I have lived in this area of Az. Most my life and I have never seen anyone describe some of our most beautiful sites so well. I love our history and have always thought Montezuma well was just a hidden gem. You may be changing that. I love the river valley’s of my state, thank you for sharing.
The first I was in Arizona was 50 years ago. Been there a few times and never have seen it this green. I never caught the flowers blooming. I I took a break from the Notra Dame fire in Paris.
Thanks again for the awesome video.
so sad about that fire
Oh, my! Your Casita is so precariously parked just at the edge of this cliff facing. I can't imagine how you maneuvered it in place so close to the drop. I guess you can say you're living life on the edge. Thanks for this wonderful video, Bex.
Music was perfect .....another beautifully done video. Love how you research your work.... thank you Bex.💚
I liked the music you picked to accompany the video. It gave a true feeling of the area :) Grt work!
You're awesome! Thank you for all your hard work sharing your travels!
You found HEAVEN on EARTH! WOW!
Wow!! Incredible video and your monologue was terrific! Thanks so much for sharing with us. Lovely!! Ax
Beautiful day, thank you for sharing your adventures you always find the most amazing places, stay safe and God Bless
Very cool Bex! Thanks for sharing:)
Nice camera work and editing Bex.
Thank you so much for your amazing video we wouldn't get to see places like this if it wasn't for fabulous people like you God bless you xxx
Watched a few of your vids this evening. Learned a lot and got to see such beautiful images of America! Thanks for sharing!!
I’ve been to Montezuma’s Well, but it’s been years ago. Thanks for the repeat visit. It’s definitely greener than when I was there in early March. Your videos are so beautiful. You do a great job of film production!
Another great video. Your channel is one of the best on U-tube. Thanks for sharing.
All I can say is thank you. I will keep watching
Picture perfect with your home in the photo. I say it's worth a oil painting...🤗
Wow, superb videography as always. You’re my favorite creator. Great place. Safe travels. 🙂 -Mark
Wow Bex - when you walked out your door and were on the rock edge I literally gasped - beautiful!
Thanks for another fabulous video - such talent and hard work are appreciated.
When she sat down it looked just like she was sitting on a cactus! It was an optical illusion but i half expected to hear a loud ouch! 😉
Born and raised in AZ and I still haven't seen everything here...beautiful vid!
1000 You Tuber points for the title alone. Thanks for the great video
Ha ha! I often struggle with titles. If I had my way, they would all be called, "I'm camped at (insert place here)". Keep it simple, right?! :-D
Best video yet Bex, don,t know how you filter out all other tourists and appear really alone, you must really work at it. Great accompanying music too!
The best part, you where there, Now that is a home with a priceless view! Good camera work and editing music, love it. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you Bex for sharing the history and culture of the Sinewa. Your scenic videos are awe inspiring, healing and good for the soul, as are you. You should do documentaries.
I know I'm real late to the game here, but I just discovered your videos. I enjoy them so much. Not only are they visually stunning, but I love all the interesting things you share with us. It's very conversational and natural. Thanks!
Beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I have travel a lot in my life time but am no longer able to do so. So I really enjoy your vids. Many places you have gone are places I have visited, but you are so good at what you do, I feel like I am seeing it for the first time. So again I say thanks. Be safe and happy travels to you and I will be watching.
Wonderful Vlog, So interesting history!... thanks for sharing
I’ve been to both of these areas In Arizona and it is breathtaking. Especially the grotto where the water flows in the channel. Love it! Thanks for the memories.
Awesome place!!! Thank you for taking us along!
Your opening video is just so breathe taking...you have the best video's. They are soooo soothing to listen to and the transitions are purposely placed. Thanks
Thank you Bex for another full of wonder video. It was good to see Ren.
I love the Verde Valley. I spent last winter in Camp Verde. Went to Montezuma’s well and to Montezuma’s castle. Both are absolutely incredible places.
Bex! Where are you? Are you ok? Seems like you haven't posted in a long time. Thanks for this wonderful vid. J
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. You are an amazing videographer and editor!
Enjoyed your commentary and background music. We were there Thanksgiving weekend
Thanks again!!
Awesome video hope all goes well for you my friend. That is an awesome spot to camp what a view . You have a great day and keep smiling. I will catch you on the next one.
Spectacular! Thank you!
Bex I watched this on full screen and it was so amazing. Loved your telling about the history and no there isn't any swimming to be done. Thank you so much as I truly enjoyed it. Safe travels and take care my YT friend.
As usual oh, great! Thanks so much. Happy trails!
This is the best video you've made yet! Very informative!
Simply gorgeous! Thank you!
We went to this place last year. You are right, it’s truly amazing. Good video. Thanks.
Wonderful video, as usual Bex! Thanks for your efforts, always learn a lot from your videos! You are a very smart lady!
Wow what a beautiful area if Arizona. Thank you so much for sharing all that information. Stay safe and happy travels.
I think you found your calling! Good job! So many videos are just watching a narcissist live their life. You, on the far other hand, especially in this video, bring us along and make us part of the journey. So I feel like I am sharing in living life instead of watch someone else’s life. Very nice indeed. And I like learning - thank you for the history details!
I agree, the view from ur camp is awesome!!! 👍👍👍!!! 😎😎😎!!!. Thanks for the videos, plz, keep them coming? Eric Sulen, Grand Rapids, Michigan
