Thanks for being a great guide Taylor! I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. I hope at least a few people read my request to donate. It's such an important site.
I didn’t know that I was going to have a history lesson this morning with you Slim , however I thoroughly enjoyed it. You fantastic me with all the knowledge storied up in your brain. Slim have a beautiful and wonderful day 🌅
Somehow I missed this video being posted. When the newest video came up, I had to come back and watch this first. I downloaded the audiobook you recommended from the library. You always seem to find things off the beaten path. Thanks.
Thanks for the insightful coverage of Blackwater Draw and the archeological museum in Clovis, NM. BTW, to reduce the pungency of the Korma, suggest adding it to fresh cooked spinach and let it simmer then put aside ofr 30-60 minutes before eating. You could enjoy it with rice, chapati, naan or pita bread, and yogurt-cucumber-tomato raita and uncooked carrots and beetroot as side dishes.
You explain things much better than any professor at a university would do. That was fascinating! Museums are one of my favorite things to see when visiting a new area, and that one didn't disappoint.
Thank you for your great coverage of a little pocket of a place that offers up that perfect combination of history, information, and surprises, once again shows how interesting our own country is. Lots of "Wow!'s" in this episode. I am continually surprised at the quality of various visitor centers/museums that we've seen at state parks, county parks, national wildlife refuges, universities, national historical sites and monuments....SO much effort goes into these places, for which I am so grateful.
We love this! Another place added to our "places to Go!" List. Thank you Slim for inspiring us with your travel videos. We love them and watch every one.
I love this kind of stuff. And DNA finds too. Those Clovis humans have left many sites though out the south west. Near to were you were a rancher discovered on his land tons of items left behind. That was only 20 years ago and it still has not been fully researched. A university and professions have it noted but still have no funds to go back and do a full mapping. The whole place is a mystery and the land can not be accessed or sold off. The land bridge is like asking if you are related to any of the people from the Mayflower. Many came before the Mayflower. Several waves of people. Thanks for sharing.
What an excellent video! You didn’t seem very impressed by the scenery but you filmed it so well that it looked like a pleasant, peaceful place to camp. The history in this video was very interesting. And about that meal…glad you put those tomatoes in there! Lol! Very enjoyable video!
Looks like somewhere I'd like to visit. Now if I could just find something for my wife to do, she doesn't care for museums. Keep the good stuff coming Slim.
So glad you decided to make this video! I always enjoy anything related to the ancients. So much controversy around how long the first people have been in North America. 💯🌞
I’ve enjoyed following your adventures for quite a while and I’m now adapting the “potato head travel plan” that is travel fall,winter,& spring and let everyone else fill the parks & highways during the hot summer season and I’ll play at home . Keep on truck’n Slim
One of your best vid's Slim.... I worked in Clovis about 10 yrs ago & I was there a few days before I realized that Clovis N.M. was where the "Clovis Culture" was discovered... I asked the locals & they sent me to the same museum you visited... It was fascinating & I called my dad to tell him where I was & (as I knew he would) he informed me of the significance of the area.. (My dad was a college proffessor at the time) While exploring the area I found a pile of knapping flakes & took photo's ... Right at that spot , someone had sat down & knapped an arrow head , spear head or knife... Perhaps all three... Love the history there...
Good morning Slim, Francis from Ontario here. What an entertaining and inspiring experience you have passed along to us. I’m sure you and I have wandered through this area more than once. You have awoken something in me by and have nudged me in a direction I have wanted to take for years now. I feel the urge to get my ass in gear and start the plan to get me to New Mexico. Thank you my friend! Cheers cave companion.
Loved listening to the history of Blackwater Draw. I hope there's more future archeology there. I can't but help think that was during the Younger Dryas period.
Fascinating video Slim. So glad you decided to share your remaining Winter trip videos with all of us. I'll definitely make a point of reading 1491 and 1493, and to one day see this incredible archeological site in person. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting video, Slim...we retired to New Mexico 7 years ago from Oregon and have not been to this spot yet. Thank you...we really enjoy all your videos!
Slim, this was a great video! I'm catching up on the whole series you did. So cool! You should have won a videographer award! I work two jobs and can't travel like I want till summer when schools close, so I travel from my couch watching. 😊
That was very interesting. I've driven past it a few times over the years while traveling from Oklahoma to visit my brother and sister, in El Paso, Tx, and Sierra Vista, Az, respectively. I have read about Clovis points and the significance of their discovery at the Blackwater Draw but I just didn't have the time or maybe patients to take a day to stop, stay, visit and learn more about it. Thanks Slim! You did it justice. Time seems to be on your side.
I was pleased to see Clovis was just a few miles off our planned 2025 trip. So I've added Clovis and Blackwater Draw NHL to our plan. Thanks for the great video.
I've heard of Clovis arrow points. I didn't know that the Blackwater Draw could be visited and there was a museum for it. Thanks for enlightening me! I will be sure to visit and contribute to the rehab of the park. Yes, its Windy in NM!
Thanks for the great video of the Clovis Culture history in the Portales area. It's the best I've ever come across. You cold have left out the description of the tofu though! LOL! Safe travels!
I'm at Navajo national monument. I like it. I'm staying 3 nights, they don't charge anymore. I also stopped and saw the dinosaur tracks. I wouldn't have known about them if it weren't for you. Thanks
That really is one heck of a trip! I’m usually traveling from the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge to Bosque del Apache and I hit Bitter Lake, but this one is new to me. Thanks Slim, I’ll have to pick up a package of tofu on my next trip out there.
Thank you for the history lesson for The Blackwater Draw! I was born and raised in Portales and never knew this existed. We enjoy all of your posts, but this one hit home for me. Next time we go visit family we will go check out the museum. Thanks again, Steve
We went to A mammoth dig in Iowa. They had a building over that dig too! Fascinating! We also went to an Indian burial dig which also had a building over it! Worth seeing! Your food choice ick! But to each their own….
Thank you for saying Portales correctly. I went to University there and did go to Oasis State Park and went to Blackwater Draw as part of one of my classes at ENMU.
Check out boneyard Alaska or gold sisters.. they have found thousands of wolly,saber tooth,all kinds of bones,many went to a museum in nyc and the museum dump the bones in the Hudson River..amazing story.
Great episode, Slim, I was in Portales once, headed towards Santa Fe, should have stopped for this. I knew about Clovis points, had to go back to read about Sandia points as well, a strange story. Interesting history, thanks.
I was your tour guide at Blackwater Draw! Thanks for sharing and coming to visit!
Thanks for being a great guide Taylor! I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. I hope at least a few people read my request to donate. It's such an important site.
Haha! “Interesting meal!” I think ALL your observations about that meal were probably spot on! 😂 This was a great video Slim, Thank you!
Live Long and Prosper, Slim!
Oh my gosh absolutely fascinating! Thanks!!
I didn’t know that I was going to have a history lesson this morning with you Slim , however I thoroughly enjoyed it. You fantastic me with all the knowledge storied up in your brain. Slim have a beautiful and wonderful day 🌅
Oh my 5am coffee and slim. Does it get any better??????
I am a history teacher. One of my favorite lessons is teaching about the Clovis people! This is fascinating stuff!
Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure.
Slims smooth narrative voice is always relaxing. I could listen for hours! Great content!
Thanks, Slim, for this adventure.
You are right, they do need to replace those informational signs along this important historical area.
Somehow I missed this video being posted. When the newest video came up, I had to come back and watch this first. I downloaded the audiobook you recommended from the library. You always seem to find things off the beaten path. Thanks.
My mother was born in Clovis, New Mexico in 1936. Thanks Slim for the video.

Yeah about your cooking skills......
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Happy Canada Day everyone! 🇨🇦

Absolutely fascinating! Can you imagine living in those times? Thank you Slim! Ok❤
Loved it ❤❤❤❤💯
Soooo interesting Slim! I actually feel smarter after watching this... That is very unusual for me. Lol.
There is a lot to unpack in this video. I will rewatch it later so I can take notes. Thanks for taking me on this eye opening trip.
I lived 2 1/2 years in Clovis and never knew of any of this. Thansf for the info.
Excellent Slim, can’t thank you enough for your hours of editing and filming. You remind me of the great Canadian Film Maker Bill Mason!
👋😄 Thank you so much for sharing this part of your adventures. I think I'm going to have to look those books up and have myself a good read. 👍
Great way to start a morning! Thank you. That was very interesting. Mammoth National Park is great, too!
We love this! Another place added to our "places to Go!" List. Thank you Slim for inspiring us with your travel videos. We love them and watch every one.
Incredible!!! Thank you for showing us that there is so much to see.
Great episode Slim as always! Thank you.

Thank you, Slim, for another excellent video. Please come back soon.
Wow, Slim! A wonderful video. It was so interesting and informative. No one does this better than you. Thank you so much for taking us along. ❤
Thanks Slim that was really good👍😎👍
Hi Slim ☺️
Good to see 1440p video quality option. Nice upgrade 🤗
2K and 4K take longer to render into the final video and to upload, using TH-cam, but well worth the enhanced quality.
@@ScubaSteveCanada Yeah. I'm okay with 1080p 😁
Thank you Slim for sharing.. I really enjoyed it..

Good morning, Slim. Another excellent video.👏👏👏
Interesting stuff....thanks Slim!
I spend half the year in New Mexico. You just gave me a few new places to check out. Thanks again for a beauty adventure.
Thank you for sharing your adventures and thank you for sharing the need of this location.
Fascinating! Thanks for posting this one.
Great video! I will add Blackwater Draw to my must see list for a future trip to New Mexico.
😊 That 'have a bite' was almost creepy! Well done!
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing.

Oh, 😊the excitement in your eyes as you are exploring this forgotten time.
Loved listening to the history of Blackwater Draw. I hope there's more future archeology there. I can't but help think that was during the Younger Dryas period.

Thank you, Slim, for this fine video! It was very interesting and I will look into those books ❤
Thanks for sharing your adventures! Never heard of this fascinating historical area! Looking forward to visiting soon!
Another phenomenal video!
Thanks Slim 👍🏽
Really interesting, bone head, lol. Thank you for taking the time to edit a fantastic video. Happy Canada day, Slim.
1491 and 1493 are real eye opening reads. I recommend them to anyone interested in North (and south) American history.
Really enjoyed this walk bach through time with you, Slim!
Fascinating very interesting thanks for sharing very well presented as always
Superb. Thank you. Have ordered those books. Always good to challenge preconceived ideas.
Thank you Slim, awesome vid and educational too I wasn’t aware of this area 😊
That was brilliant! I live in Oklahoma and have never been to Clovis. Now. I have to go.
Thanks for sharing all this info !👍
I was pleased to see Clovis was just a few miles off our planned 2025 trip. So I've added Clovis and Blackwater Draw NHL to our plan. Thanks for the great video.
I read 1491 based on your recommendation a couple of years ago. Great book.
This video with Clovis area is the jewel in the crown of your spring trip documentation. Thank you!
Thanks to you, I will be heading to Clovis next year! It puts your life in perspective!
Great video! I will add Blackwater Draw to my bucket list!
I've heard of Clovis arrow points. I didn't know that the Blackwater Draw could be visited and there was a museum for it. Thanks for enlightening me! I will be sure to visit and contribute to the rehab of the park. Yes, its Windy in NM!

I always wanted to visit there. Thanks for posting this!
Very interesting, the bones!
Thanks for another entertaining and educational video. Hope you have a great summer SP !
I'm at Navajo national monument. I like it. I'm staying 3 nights, they don't charge anymore. I also stopped and saw the dinosaur tracks. I wouldn't have known about them if it weren't for you. Thanks
Thanks to your video I'm going to see if I can find my copy of the book (1491) that I bought and started at least 20 years ago! Thanks for the prompt!
That really is one heck of a trip! I’m usually traveling from the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge to Bosque del Apache and I hit Bitter Lake, but this one is new to me. Thanks Slim, I’ll have to pick up a package of tofu on my next trip out there.
a great video, thanks for that. Drove by Clovis & Portales last year on my visit but didn't stop so yet another reason to visit NM.
I have read a lot about the Clovis era and now seen the original discovery area thanks to you Slim .
Thanks, Slim, for showing me things I’ve never seen or even known about!
What a great educational video. Thank you.
Thank you for the history lesson for The Blackwater Draw! I was born and raised in Portales and never knew this existed. We enjoy all of your posts, but this one hit home for me. Next time we go visit family we will go check out the museum. Thanks again, Steve
We went to
A mammoth dig in Iowa. They had a building over that dig too! Fascinating! We also went to an Indian burial dig which also had a building over it! Worth seeing! Your food choice ick! But to each their own….
Good morning Slim! YES! I really enjoyed this video , that was fascinating! Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP! 👍
Very interesting & educational.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
Thank you for saying Portales correctly. I went to University there and did go to Oasis State Park and went to Blackwater Draw as part of one of my classes at ENMU.
I was driving through Clovis 2 weeks ago on my way to Lubbock. I wish I had thought of this. Dangit. This was one of your best videos, Slim.
Check out boneyard Alaska or gold sisters.. they have found thousands of wolly,saber tooth,all kinds of bones,many went to a museum in nyc and the museum dump the bones in the Hudson River..amazing story.
Great episode, Slim, I was in Portales once, headed towards Santa Fe, should have stopped for this. I knew about Clovis points, had to go back to read about Sandia points as well, a strange story. Interesting history, thanks.
What an amazing place you have taken us...thank you!! Very interesting and educational. 13500 years...that is hard to process.
This was a great video. I love archeology and geology, and discovering new places. Thank you for taking us with you!
Very interesting! 👍
Thanks for sharing this information. It is hard to grasp the time span, so ancient. I can wonder about those humans for hours!
Very interesting and so well done again.
An unexpected treat, oatmeal and a Slim Potatohead video, thank you!
Fantastic!
