Guys, I just wanted to let you know that my dog actually loves watching Adventure Archives. Whenever I have to leave him at home for a while, I put on Adventure Archives and he will just chill out and watch it. It's his favorite!
I've noticed my cat likes to lay near the TV when I have one of their videos going lol. Idk if it's just coincidence or not, but I like to think she enjoys it
The century plant only lasts a year then stalk dies and falls over. They are edible but you have to cut the stalk sometime in may and before it blooms. My late father used to cut it down for us as kids and cut the stalk into like foot long sections then he would roast all the sections in a fire. I am Apache from Arizona and it is one of our native foods. It is sweet. Thank you for sharing this awesome video. I really enjoyed watching this one.
"century " plants is a catch all name for several varieties of agave plants. Most live SEVERAL years. One I planted bloomed this year. I planted it over 20 years ago. Also around here. The natives (go to a pow wow at the Carlsbad Park) and they do eat part of the plant THE ROOT BULB. Infor from Hobbs New Mexico. Check "facts" from the interenet
My first trip to the Guadalupes was as a young teen in the early 80s when I climbed the peak for the first time with my mother. My most recent trip there (not last!) was in December 2019 just before the pandemic began, when I backpacked out around the El Capitan trail (day one in this video) to Shumard canyon and the Williams Ranch house, and back the next day. In between I have hiked almost every trail in the park (two trail segments still on the list), camped at most of the backcountry sites, taken my dad on his only non-army backpacking trip (McKittrick Ridge) and climbed Guadalupe Peak with my own kids. I've also been blessed to get to visit and explore caves in the New Mexico portions of the mountain range, camp and hike and mountain bike, picnic at Sitting Bull Falls, and just soak up the unique and unexpected environments throughout these mountains. Literally a lifetime of adventures. This place is the home of my heart, and it was such a joy to see it so beautifully filmed and appreciated. Thanks, guys. This one was special. Do go back in late October to mid-November some time and see the maples in brilliant color with the desert mountains around - it's a treat.
Another great trip with you all! I feel like I’m there each time any of you hike or travel. One of my favorite TH-cam subscriptions! Always a happy peaceful end to my hectic day. Thank you!
I can't describe how much I enjoy these productions. If anyone asks what my favorite show is, it's this. This one came out just in time for my birthday and was the best present! From the jokes to the serious, the music and stunning videography, and the end, oh how I look forward to the end 😂! I'm a Robby fan girl for sure, but love watching all of you, and missed Bryan! Can't wait for the next adventure... 😊
I was born and raised inTexas, but now live in Idaho. You should add the Sawtooth Mountains to your adventure list. That is a stunning hike! Great video, thank you.
I’ve been putting off this video because I am so excited about this adventure! As a fellow Texan, I am so happy y’all are exploring my stomping grounds. We actually planned to hike this trip in November but with a baby on the way, we will have to live vicariously through y’all!
Fantastic experience coming from your videos as always. The musical choices throughout this one were spot on and excellent. Can't wait for the coming videos.
You guys produce better videos than much of the travel shows on the PBS Create channel. The videography is beautiful and the musical scores keep getting better and better with great changes of mood that are so well linked to the video footage.
@@curiousnomadic You are right about the Globetrekker shows that used to go to places seldom seen on other TV travel shows. I do think that Adventure Archive produced programs about backpacking and hiking would appeal to many of the Create PBS channel viewers who clearly enjoy things like the Ken Burns National Park series. There are so many diverse and beautiful forests and parks that Adventure Archives has visited, and I think TV viewers would enjoy knowing how close they are to where people live around our beautiful country.
WALKING trail to top is amazingly maintained. Just a long up hill walk. The pyramid on the top was brought up there on mule. Other than the need to pack in water (8 pounds a gallon) Great trails and backpacking camping. There are other trails other than to the top of the peak with campsites
Seems like u guys are discovering the awesomeness of day hikes. Nothing but the greatest hits of hiking, no filler, with comfy goodness of tasty dinner and drinks and the soft bed of a nice hotel at night.
Not from there myself, but I fall more and more in love with the NM landscape every time I visit. Gila NF and Carson NF are just begging for some Adventure Archives action
Thank you for this awesome video! I just recovered from cancer a few months ago and me and and my brother are heading out to Guadalupe from Georgia in a few months. Can’t wait!
Love how they pay tribute to all their contributers in such a great way. Also anyone else notice Bryan is really getting into shape (not meant as an insult). Soon him and Andrew are gonna look like twins with the long hair and beards
Waiting for the next AA video is like waiting for the next season of my favorite show to start!!! As always, well done on the whole production! It was always enjoyable, educational, and makes me eat ramen while watching all of your videos. Keep up the great work guys!
Wonderful video and great comments along the way. I was thrilled for you that you did not miss Carlsbad Caverns while you were out in west Texas. One thing that you missed and that was because of the time of year that you were out is the evening bat flight at the Caverns. You walked through the amphitheater and that is where you would sit during the bat flight. Imagine sitting there for 20-30 minutes, quietly and completely still and being able to listen and hear the whooshing of the bat wings as they fly a foot or two from you. It is an absolutely sublime experience. The Caverns and the bat flights are two of the greatest experiences that one can have at our National Parks.
Wow great episode. I think in the future you should auction off a guest appearance or guest hike for Patreon supporters. Would be fun to see a random guest every now and then
Fantastic episode guys!👍 Thanks for pushing yourselves with those hikes to capture those epic vistas! Robby opting out of a burrito? 🌯🤯 The shout-outs were so funny and imaginative and thanks for including the birthday wish to @kerrylarsen 😁 I'm going to sign up for that Wueen Tsjung course just to get that plain white tee-shirt! 😆 Nice Napoleon Dynamite nod! Happy Birthday @kerrylarsen 🎂😍💜💜
This video made me so nostalgic for the past few years.. before the pandemic hit when I was getting my horticulture degree, my classmates and i went to Garfield conservatory in Chicago to see a huge agave plant blooming so I was so excited to see one blooming in this! I remembered working out in the summer heat on a farm in the past year seeing you all suffer similarly in the sun, and then I was brought back to when I traveled to Roswell and the very same caverns with my mother. Wonderful video as always!!
Come back to big bend in the summer for dramatic monsoon season - so much color and blooms! So quiet too because you can heat up in the sun - wake up early and have a siesta in the shade and hike late with the late sundown. Big bend ranch state park is a super rustic hiking Mecca - known for unique geologic formations and freedom to explore.
Nice bonus feature at the end guys! Now i want to go see the caves too! The main video, but totally didn’t see what happened to Thomas by the third hike coming. No spoilers, but if you follow this channel, it’s shocking.
Great video! I've been to Guadalupe National Park this March. Your video, the quality, and the images you showed are the closest I've seen that closely match the reality of what the eyes really see.
Just a reminder to everyone that the music we enjoy is produced by these same gents. Stunning work guys.
I think about that every time I watch one of their videos. It's all so good
What?? I had no idea! I thought this was some royalty free music they were borrowing. They make this themselves? Way too much talent!
Andrew: "I'm not a fan of hiking uphill. I'm a fan of having hiked uphill." Truer words have never been spoken!
I love up hill, but down hill kills my shins and ankles! On a bike I hate up hills and live for every decent, none are long enough!
Guys, I just wanted to let you know that my dog actually loves watching Adventure Archives. Whenever I have to leave him at home for a while, I put on Adventure Archives and he will just chill out and watch it. It's his favorite!

Im just here to see Robby smacking his leg while enjoying his meal haha
Not odd at all..😉😉😉
Hey it's one epic hilarious meal.

That sounds amazing, thank you for sharing your comment with us and for watching!

32:20 Awesome philosophical conversation guys. We are all interdependent. Thumbs up for that.

What madman disliked this video?
Someone who really misses Brian? So much they just *can't* without him
A mad man
not mad men, just psychologically disturbed and emotionally insecure individuals.
right
I like how every scene has a different music that matches the vibe, Robby your sound scoring is superb.
Great these guys are back! Some of the best hiking videos on TH-cam! They deserve more subscribers for the quality material they produce!
At this point, Marie Fisher deserves a cameo.
no promises
I love watching you guys, I'm not much of a hiker but love the places and hikes you take the viewers
I look forward to watching the next video.
I Love Your Beautiful Videos Thank You For Being On TH-cam And Sharing These Great Adventures God God God Bless You All❤❤❤❤
Another great trip with you all! I feel like I’m there each time any of you hike or travel. One of my favorite TH-cam subscriptions! Always a happy peaceful end to my hectic day. Thank you!
The end credits is as long as an episode and I’m loving it.
Great video . Always love seeing Texas
Tremendous upgrade on this edition in photography and music. Well done.

Love to see and hear from you, again!
The caverns were awesome.
So much to learn!
nice trip guys....
It's incredible how this videos just keeps on giving. Great content!
I was born and raised inTexas, but now live in Idaho. You should add the Sawtooth Mountains to your adventure list. That is a stunning hike! Great video, thank you.
Love the hike and caverns.
The capping on that storm looked awesome
Love the music you guys.I see one comment was that you’ll all make the music, cool. Love watching your trips.
Dang….what an awesome cinematography!
Best adventure yet!!!!!i love these
The layered limestone is such an amazing sight! I can only imagine how beautiful it looked in person. Robby's right, that's right out of a dream.
Super effective on the music!
I’ve been putting off this video because I am so excited about this adventure! As a fellow Texan, I am so happy y’all are exploring my stomping grounds. We actually planned to hike this trip in November but with a baby on the way, we will have to live vicariously through y’all!
This was a great episode. Sometimes I watch old episodes and I’m like what is this garbage. But this one holds up.
Meltology is the new geology. Great show as usual. Thanks.
The credits are awesome. 😄
That kind of sun exposure is when I get my long sleeve shirt and pants on with a full brim hat. I look silly, but avoiding the sunburn is worth it.
Popcorn ready. Love you guys. Much luv from Birmingham England United kingdom 🇬🇧
Fantastic experience coming from your videos as always. The musical choices throughout this one were spot on and excellent. Can't wait for the coming videos.
I love the high desert. looks like an absolute blast!
@1:07:48 man that moment made me smile. haven't watched one of these in a while. THANK YOU
This is amazing. Also, epic soundtrack. Best soundtrack of any AA episode. Reminds me of the Lost Horse loop at Joshua Tree.
Awesome video and the antics after the credits were great! Fus Ro Dah!!
I would watch a 5 hour AA video. Just sayin'.
Weakling...better up that cardio....keep training Padawan and some day you can reach 24 hour watching AA like the rest of us..
How about a 5 hour hike, Just sayin'.
You guys produce better videos than much of the travel shows on the PBS Create channel. The videography is beautiful and the musical scores keep getting better and better with great changes of mood that are so well linked to the video footage.
Definitely as good. I used to like Globetrekker and Motion/Outside with Greg Aiello.

All I want is for you all to be 80 years old someday and literally filming Hotel Archives.
Another great AA episode! Guadalupe has been on our list for a long time.
I love your videos, but your friendship and respect for each other is truly amazing!

Glad to see you back!!!
One of the best trails. Was able to do the whole Guadalupe peak trail which is awesome because of the El Capitán in the desert beyond.
Love the video! My nephew and I just did your last hike to Mount Leconte… these videos are inspiring and motivating; keep up the good work fellas.
This has me daydreaming of a Sedona or Sante Fe episode some day
As someone born and raised New Mexico I would love to see that!
Not from there myself, but I fall more and more in love with the NM landscape every time I visit. Gila NF and Carson NF are just begging for some Adventure Archives action

Yup, noticed. How fantastic! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲👣
That was EPIC guys!!!
10:52 Solanaceae. Its interesting to hear AA theme music covered in different instruments at different tempos throughout the video till the end.
It’s not a vacation… it’s an adventure!
Almost halfway through and its already so good having come back from TX recently. Great job guys!
WONDERFUL VIDEO!
THANK YOU, SO MUCH!
🙋♀️🌱, Lizzy
Thank you.
Waiting for the next AA video is like waiting for the next season of my favorite show to start!!! As always, well done on the whole production! It was always enjoyable, educational, and makes me eat ramen while watching all of your videos. Keep up the great work guys!
Always love it when the notification comes in that you guys uploaded a new vid. The content and video shooting is unreal quality, thanks a lot!

Wow I don't know how I've never heard of those caves, planning a trip right now. Great episode! Looking forward to more traveling!
I have that can opener 29 years old!
I need to go back totally
Brilliant video, amazing production as always. Thanks guys had a pretty rough month and this was just what I needed.
Amazing once again guys.
Love this! Awesome job guys!
Wow great episode. I think in the future you should auction off a guest appearance or guest hike for Patreon supporters. Would be fun to see a random guest every now and then
Fantastic!! Keep it rolling!! 👍🏻❤️❤️ AA
I really love the format of these films, they're very much journals in video form! Was looking forward to this one. :)
Love your work can’t wait to see more
Fantastic episode guys!👍 Thanks for pushing yourselves with those hikes to capture those epic vistas! Robby opting out of a burrito? 🌯🤯 The shout-outs were so funny and imaginative and thanks for including the birthday wish to @kerrylarsen 😁 I'm going to sign up for that Wueen Tsjung course just to get that plain white tee-shirt! 😆 Nice Napoleon Dynamite nod! Happy Birthday @kerrylarsen 🎂😍💜💜
Thank you once again for the birthday shoutout @Jason Bourgeois and Adventure Archives. It was a special surprise, I loved it! :D
@@kezbot2 So glad you loved it Kerry 💜💜👫
View looks flatter then expected from that vantage point. Absolutely beautiful!
as always Guys awesome adventure !!!!

Amazing!
Toe jam and earl haha haven't heard that in forever.. As always great job!!
Amazing production quality!
Great video and narration!
The flute in the song at 59:15 reminds me of New Slang by the Shins.
Great video! I've been to Guadalupe National Park this March. Your video, the quality, and the images you showed are the closest I've seen that closely match the reality of what the eyes really see.
Man Robby's skit at the end feels like he got stuck in the caves and this is a glimpse into how he's doin years later. So creative!! hahaha
LOL..yes he will be stuck in a cave even years later..poetic justice right..
Another great one! Foolish of me to think I’d get any work done on my project…I was glued to the screen!
Good piano playing Thomas!
That was an amazing video
I love you guys … you always make me laugh 😂
I've missed your videos. Beautiful scenery.It's good to see you out.
You guys do such a good job with these videos!
The production value of these films improves with every episode!
Loving this spaghetti western version of the AA theme music
Another great ep. Thanks guys. Y'all have been an essential part of my at home life, and and inspo to my away life. Looking forward to the next!
Awesome trip, you guys should team up with @Gatewood Brown next time you’ll are in Texas for a kayak camping trip.
