I'm on disability and nothing would make me happier than to be right beside you on these adventures, but that just will never be, so I'm enjoying being right beside you on TH-cam seeing places I'd never be able to see otherwise. Great job mate!
Me too. I loved being in the red-rock, sandstone areas across Utah, Arizona, and Nevada with my family. I loved to go barefoot climbing on the sandstone formations. That's where I feel comfortable and sure-footed. This place reminds me a bit of Petta. I think something is buried under the giant arch. Lake Bonneville was very large, and something changed drastically. Meteor? Water diversion? Spanish or/and Calvary? I hope we find out for sure one day. Live Jeff's excursions. I can't walk anymore, so I follow along with him, POV, Desert Drifter, etc. I understand they can't tell everyone where they are, but when they do, or I recognize a place, I like to follow on Google Earth. My way of traveling. Lol
@@TheTrekPlanner If you ever do. A few hours from Toronto is a conservation area named Skah Nah Doht. It has an archeological dig, and another area where they recreated the village they found. It's fascinating with the long houses and what not. Thousands of years old. Most don't know it's there. But a precious look into our past.
As a geologist, I recognize all the stratigraphic layers you passed through. The lowest red shale layers are the Moenkopi Formation. That was deposited in shallow sea waters and tidal mudflats. Above that is the Chinle group. The lowest whitish layer is the Shinarump conglomerate member. It was deposited by a braided river system after the region was uplifted above sea level. The Shinarump member only exists where a river ran across and eroded into the uplifted Moenkopi layer. Above that is the Monitor Butte Member and then the Petrified Forest member. It is no surprise that you found petrified trees in that layer, as that layer was deposited above sea level. It is the same layer that the Petrified Forest in Arizona is located in. Above that are the Owl Rock and Church Rock members. Above that is the Wingate Formation. That is the cliff-forming red sandstone layer above the talus slopes. Above that is the Kayenta Formation. That is the horizontally bedded sandstone layer you can see at the top of the canyon rim. The Wingate and Kayenta Formations were deposited after the region sunk below sea level again. All these geologic formations were deposited during the Triassic Period. These are the same rock layers you will see in Monument Valley and the west side of Capital Reef. You will not find any dinosaur fossils here, only early reptilian fossils. Dinosaurs did not evolve until the Jurassic Period. Those rock layers lie above the Navajo Formation which is the next layer above the Kayenta.
Thanks Philip for sharing your knowledge. I live on Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada (one hour time-zone East of Maine). Our fossils are all Triassic. I know of a beach here where coastal erosion is exposing petrified wood. There's one log in situ that's over 30 feet long and a stump where the tree had a diameter of about four or five feet. The 30 foot log is the largest known fossil in our region.
I wanted to also thank you for sharing your deep dive! That was so incredibly awesome to read! I’m definitely going to keep an eye out for those layers while I watch the video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!🖤🖤
Actually, you are incorrect about dinosaurs in the Triassic. There were numerous species, the Coelophysis (a small theropod) being one of them (it survived into the early Jurassic). Do a search & you will find many. 😊
@@johnlawrence9957 , true. It was late at night when I typed the above. I was in a hurry to log off so I could go to bed and I overgeneralized on that point. My brain was thinking of the giant Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs. Triassic dinosaurs were all small and lizard-sized. They didn't evolve their large size until the Jurassic Period. Now that I have had time to think about it, some of these small dinosaur fossils could possibly be found in the Chinle Formation. Thanks for jogging my memory on that point. It has been 12 years since I had taken the Fossil Record class in college. Memories don't always connect properly when it's past bedtime. 🥱
I love the contents of your videos. This way I can still see places that I may never get or they make me want to take a trip. Thanks so much for doing them.
Once again, thank you for taking me and the others along with you. I really enjoyed seeing the hills and that large snake head rock. Keep on trecking, and I'll keep enjoying it sites with you
This is the adventure I've enjoyed the most. Those rock walls are incredible. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, and allowing us to see places we will never see.
Thank you so much for taking us on your adventure. I drove the "Google" car many years ago, from living in the Eastern USA, drove out to California, my route was seeing mountains such as these, God's country, breath taking beauty. Stay safe in your travels, & again thank you.
I have Tannus Armour inserts in my e-bike's fat tires. Haven't had a flat yet. I mention it as an alternate approach to using Flat Out or similar products. I'm sure if Jeff just did a video of him fixing a flat in such a remote area he'd get a million views. Getting flats when far from home or help is likely most e-bike rider's biggest fear.
OO000oooo.....you've got me feelin' it. You're all alone except for us watching? Great adventure, thanks for bringing us along. My thinking is that the area is too dangerous for life but a good place to rest afterwards. I am days away from this filming but I can feel this powerful place, very brave of you to be there alone. I'm trying to understand what the Paiute thought about this place when they were the only ones there.
No one else comes close to the honest childlke pleasure you take in the things you discover. You are my all time favorite and I take real pleasure in watching your journeys. I ooh and ahh at the wonderful sights and sites you share.
As a former backpacker, I'd definitely want to spend a couple or three days investigating that area. It allows for so much more time than including the entire trip in and out within the exploration day. Back to watching.
Magic Landscape - Beautiful Formations ! Wonderful Drone Views - Awesome indeed ! Lovely Petrified Wood ! Thank You for a Great Adventure ! Many Cheers from Australia !
Jeff, the most exciting part of this video for me came at the end you came upon all the petrified wood! This has fascinated me since I was a child and my father had temporary custody of a friend’s enormous rock collection that included petrified wood. 60 years later and the memories of holding those pieces of fossilized wood are still dear to me!
G’day Matey, I’m another disabled person and your adventures are truly valued. I’m waiting to get a 4 wheel drive mobility scooter that can open my life to parks and gardens, however nothing like what you are sharing with us. Thank you so much, you’re highly valued. If you ever visit Australia 🇦🇺 let me know and my hubby and family will welcome your family and assist in any way we can. 🐨🦘🐨
I love these videos, they remind me that though I live 2000 miles away, those deserts will always be my home and my spirit will dwell there when I am passed away.😊💗💓🏜🏕🏞
@TheTrekPlanner I raised my two children there on a small ranch. They are hard working adults now. Their children have no idea how stunning the landscape is. I miss the sunsets there. 🌇
@seagull7 I'm 71 yrs old now and I used live in the Mojave desert. I also owned a small ranch in Eastern Utah, raised my own beef, pork, chickens, goats, and sheep. Grew an acre of vegetables and canned everything. Wasn't off grid but it almost was, in its own way. Raised my two children on that ranch. The learned how to work and they had chores to do. But we had fun too. Camping, trail riding and going to museums. The both played instruments in the local high school bands. Now my kids had their own kids, and one of them is due in Jan. I proud of my children and their children.
Ohhh I was imagining an Egyptian Sphinx appearing around the corner ! Hihi. Such a vast area to cover & explore. An ancient Forest ! The Earths story is just mind blowing. Please take care :-)
I love your adventures. reminds me of mine when I was younger. One thing I particularly enjoy is the absolute stillness you get to experience in these places. When you live in a town or city especially, most ppl tend to forget what quiet actually "feels" like, let alone sounds like. I miss that. I am lucky enough that I have access to many areas that are similar in providing that same feeling. For instance, the Cedarberge, South African West Coast, and Klein Karoo, for instance, in South Africa, are spots I love to go to for a while to recharge. We usually camp though, so that we can experience it for several days on end. I also enjoy doing something similar, but along our coastlines, where it can be very remote, peaceful, and quiet, and I get the bonus of getting to surf, and free-dive, too. I follow you, POV, and Desert Drifter, and love how you guys interact with nature. Keep enjoying it and doing what you are doing. I hope your channel continues to grow. All the best from South Africa.
Jeff thinks Dessert Drifter is fake and only goes to known locations and isn't a legit explorer. He said so himself a couple videos ago. Dessert Drifter is in a completely different league than this amateur.
My mom got me hooked on your videos, she's going thru a lot of health issues right now and it's nice to turn on one of your adventures and just chill for a while...thanks for sharing your trips with all of us!
Love your channel, great discoveries. I'd suggest putting foam inserts in your tires on your bike. I got a lot of flats on my ebike in those terrains until I got the foam inserts. They work great
Definatley in Uranium country, A small hand held geiger / REM measuring device is advisable in many parts of southern Utah & Northern Az. Not an advisable place to be on windy days especially in uranium mining areas with loose tailings & w/o a mask. Dump the useless ball cap and get a real shade hat along with an umbrella for shade, you can attach umbrella to your backpack while riding slow and hiking, works great. Stock 2 ply tires on chinese e-bikes are bunk at best, 4+ ply with larger & closer spaced knobbies on tires with xtra thick tubes & Green Slime added (a liquid puncture proof product) & kevlar liners will save you alot of grief one day, as well as carrying an extra tube, bike tire pump & extra fully charged battery for both extended range,& as a backup unit also giving you capability to recharge your cameras, flashlight and drone batteries. Those budget sidewalk e-bikes use really cheap batteries & should not run below 20% charge level for any reliability & battery longevity. You look to have an empty rack on the bike to carry important necessities along with a couple extra gallons of water & some overnight gear just in case. I live fairly remote near Death Valley Ca & often wonder why people insist on taking day long hikes in 100++ degree heat. Every year we have so many incidents out here where Search & Rescue teams have to go out in the heat searching for these half- witted people who are often found too late & are either dead or dehydrated & delusionally near death because of being stupid , unprepared or both. Experience is a piss poor excuse for ignorance & often arrogant pride & lack of any cognitive reasoning in their personal habits of human nature that takes them out.
You didn't bring enough water and you saw a mirage. What you thought was a sun dial was actually a carving of Godzilla escaping from a flying saucer crash. Which makes way more sense if they were mining uranium there. Great vid. You and Drifter should do a week long camping trip with your gear.
@@Springfield-eo8jlwhy do you keep watching and commenting on his videos? Seems like this guy is following his dreams and going on adventures, he seems like a genuinley nice guy, so what threatens you so much about that?

Glad you had your wheels along . they can put on lots of miles and save daylight. This landscape is awesome! Love the Petrified wood.

Petrified wood, and other epic rocks are why I hike! LOL
amazing looks alot of fun there love the old forest find
The petrified wood was so cool! It's my favorite rock. I often find pieces of it in the landscaping rock in my yard.
