Your very best video by far! I watch this once or twice a year. I am an easterner, but have a "romantic" love for the west. Going by yourself and whispering adds so much to the charm. Thanks so much.
I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Im a unemployed british girl who's passport ran out in 2004 and you have provided me with the most fun little expeditions and treasure hunts. You help my wonderlust for travel at a time when im unable to afford to explore. Every single instalment from Aquachigger makes me smile and think "One day i will go there,see that and experience it all in person" You make my day, day after day. Thank you again and Hold Your Breath lol Xx
Amazing, the people were able to build a home that has truly lasted through the years. The bonus being, I think, they didn't destroy the beauty of nature as sadly, we have done. I love these videos's allowing those of us who can't get around well enough anymore, to be able to enjoy nature as it was meant to be. I love your channel. Thank you for making these!
Beau, thank you for taking me along on your journey. It was always my dream to visit these cliff dwellings. I'm a disabled vet and at 51 am now on a walker to prevent further falls so my dream has slipped away. But through you I feel I'm almost there.
I visited Mesa Verde with my parents when I was a kid. My impression back then was it's just a bunch of rocks. As my love for history grew I became obcessed with history of the ancients. Thank you so much for this series! I greatly enjoyed it!
The "too round" hole in the ceiling beam may well be a core sample taken in order to date the age of the tree (Dendrochronology). This has been standard practice at Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, etc.
I just want to thank you for taking me on this amazing journey with you Chig. I am disabled and there is no way for me to go explore the world like you do. When you go to these places its like im there with you the way you explain things and the awesome video images you get. So, thank you so much for this!!
Nobody builds such elaborate, hard-to-reach dwellings in seclusion without a valid reason. It is difficult to imagine that people lived there permanently. When in the early Middle Ages in Occitania, today's southern France, the Cathar community was persecuted and opposed by the inquisition of the Catholic Church, people also withdrew to fortified cave settlements. There were also difficult to access and impregnable hilltop settlements that were only permanently inhabited in times of need, as they were dependent on outside supplies. Both the hill settlements and the caves were also religious sites, so that ceremonial reasons could also play a role. Thank you for these extraordinary impressions of a breathtaking landscape, its treasures and secrets. It is always a great pleasure for me to be able to accompany you on your excursions from afar.
Seeing someone today placing their fingers in the marks a person made many centuries ago just gives me goosebumps , it is truly stretching out your hand to touch another...time travel !
This is just amazing. The talent, creativity and thought that went into creating these amazing cliff dwellings is hard to imagine. How they could move those huge rocks up there is hard to picture. Another piece of history that I wouldn't have read about as living.in Canada you don't just think to research these areas unless your heading there. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy your respect for Archaeological sites. It is so important to destroy as little as possible when researching. You are also well informed Aquachigger. Great video. Better than National Geographic.You got me hooked.
Like a modern day Indiana Jones..lol. My folks took me out west as a teenager and I've wanted to go back ever since. Thank you for taking the time to share so much with all of us. Love your channel!
I love your videos like this! You go places I've always wanted to visit and you see things in depth the way I would want to, not just in passing so that I'm actually seeing what I'm wanting to see and learning what I want to learn! Thank you for that!
I sure hope you have more video of this area coming....man I DID NOT want these videos to end. Those, for me were probably the videos I have enjoyed the most and that is saying LOT because you have made some truly AMAZING videos. Thank you so so much for sharing those. I sure wish you would come to Northern Michigan, I would drive anywhere to meet up with you😊
I've always thought the people who lived in those homes were doing so for protection, yet the more you talked the more the other reasons made a great deal of sense, its beautiful and the location more ambient.
The Mogollon (Mo-gee-yon) and Anasazi Indians lived in that area until about 1,200 years ago when the Apaches, Navajos, and Comanches moved in and killed most of them off. Some managed to survive by moving into big pueblos with larger tribes near rivers but most were kill. The ranchers finding the Indian belongings in place tell me the Indians were probably ambushed below and killed, probably taking their food and anything they had with them but the raiding Indians never found the cliff dwellings.
I can not even imagine how they were able to build and carry all of what they had to have to build. By all accounts a fortress like that so for up in the what I would call the bad lands A.K.A very dangerous territory. Amazing in my book.Great video.
Watching this 'Pueblo trilogy' again. This is so mesmerizing stuff i never get tired of it. I my opinion probably the best stuff you have uploaded in youtube!
Phenomenal video Chigg! I didn't even know our land had this history still in existence. I love it. Thank you so much for bringing us along. Can't wait for the next video!
Incredible video Chigg!! I love the variety of vids you post. They are all entertaining, educational, and humorous! Hopefully your travels bring you close to me sometime, and I can go on a hunt or just bring some refreshments! Thanks for sharing!!!
Okay, dogs went nuts over the coyote again!! Lol! This series is so great. You are a good teacher too. So cool to think that you fit your hand into another humans handprint from so long ago.
Thank you for taking us with you! I miss all your exploration videos, so it was really nice to come across this one from so long ago. What a beautiful place, seems like a good area to wait out the apocalypse. 😅
Places like this are ALWAYS worth exploring! Where else are you going to get hands on the history of the Native Americans? Doing things like this! Thanks Chig!
love your channel man use to live in new Mexico when I was younger going to these sites and my dads bestfriend like my uncles pow wows even though I'm white and it's not my culture I still feel spiritually connected to it growing up around it seeing this gave me pure joy makes me wanna move back to new mexico to go back and study the sites and culture and people more true joy to my heart!
Absolutely incredible! I wish I had the means to explore the way you do. I'm British and live in Florida and love history especially Native American history. I did buy a metal detector after watching you and Nuggetnogin. Next is the magnet although locating one is difficult! can't wait until the next instalment. stay safe.
I watch all your videos new and old these are by far the most enjoyable to me I bought a metal detector as I was inspired by your video I bought the same that you use the Mac Pro I enjoy detecting I’m 71and feel like a kid with the treasure I find thanks
Are you a teacher? I love your videos so much. I. can't even tell you how much. I've missed so much in life in my old old age and you've share such beauty with all of us. Can't thank you enough. Granny fan
Thank you so much for this adventure. I am disabled and could not have done this myself but it was like I was right there beside you making it up a mountain to see it too.
Chigg; just a note. In the old days sometimes people would char the outer side of wood in order for it to withstand decay for a longer period of time. Old timers did it with fence posts.
Yey I'm so excited to watch this I've been waiting all day on the edge of my seat for it!!I love your work Aquachigger, I'm addicted to your videos! And your personality!!
really enjoying this video, and thank you, I'm not able to hike any longer and so would never be able to get there. I love that you show everything, share what you know about it, and include 'close ups' even into the cracks and crannies... just like I would look IF I were there. I really appreciate you taking us along. Looking forward to the next part.
Such a pleasure to watch each and every one of your videos. You only talk when necessary and are always informative and insightful. Very peaceful content. Thank you, as i very much enjoy viewing these moments youve captured
Aquachigger thank you so much for these videos. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one. The hike and seeing these structures is just like being there. It would be so cool to hike this one day. but I'm not to sure if I can because of my knees too give me problems. But your videos are just like being there. Thank you.
It's just my opinion, I think the natives transition into Clif dwellings for protection from the hostiles. It's easier to fight down from a Cliff then to fight your way up! Not to mention you can see your enemy coming for miles away giving them the edge in ambushes!
You ,, like many people have asked why did the leave pottery and baskets and metates etc. behind. all things were natural and could be made with the supply found at the new location. why carry heavy combersome Items when you could move faster unburdened? Once a location with water access was found, they could scout out clay. pots an plates made, grasses reeds or limbs and baskets could be made. metates were just finding the right stone. same with many tools. Your respect and genuine reverence for our native cultures is so appreciated. You "get" it. huge respect to you. We could have had some great convos about past cultures. My parents were interpreters with the ta'hano Oodham nation for many years and we have Indian heritage. Thank you, Seriously Beau.
I know this is about two year too late, but this is my favorite series of yours. I have been watching your videos about about 5 years now and have to say, you're amazing at what you do and your videos are one of a kind. Its like watching the old Nat Geo without all the bullshit!!!
Thanks man it's great to see you appreciate our history and respect the dwellings. You are a good man and I love your enthusiasm, not just for this area away from your own area,, but even on your own area.
Look at a video of Chaco Canyon. Same type of masonry, same openings with a T shape, same corner doors, and the rounded room at this location resembles a Chaco Kiva.
Can't wait for part 3. I so enjoy getting to go to these wondrous places through videos from explorers like yourself. And Bear Grylls has nothing on you.:)
thank you so much for sharing this adventure. I'm glad that you were able to relive a very fond memory. I'd have been more askeered of cats than momma bears 😃
I am a Native American I want to thank you for sharing your videos I watched 1. 2. 3. They were awesome they could have been my ancestors but they are a little bit distance from where I come from I am a Lumbee Indian My Tribe comes from North Carolina South of the Lumbee River we start a family tree several years ago the tracking of our ancestors went all the way back to 1550 to date it was amazing all who we found and we realize that they were all over the country just not in North Carolina I hope you keep doing good videos thank you again
That hand-spread mortar is amazing-i think that's what fascinates all explorers and collectors: a sign of the human hand in the making of objects, and some connection to those makers. Well done, Chigg! PS - Those "Chuckit!" tennis ball throwers use the same principle as the ancient atl-atl. PPS - Were there wood ladders that connected the various levels and catwalks.?
I will be making this trip someday as well, i have to be honest, i get quite irritated when i see historical places likes this that i have known zero about in my entire life, i had no idea there were still native cliff dwelling in america that anyone could go visit, thank you for showing me the light, I can tell you have a real love for Arizona, i can see why, it's beautiful.
I was almost in the middle of a busy village as you took us through such incredible structures. I love Native American artifacts and structures - greatly respect their old ways. At the end of the day, I have to ask what kind of people are capable of taking out nation after nation of human beings.
Aqua-yapper! I love love love your videos. You are a wealth of knowledge, you have a personality that makes you super easy to love and listen to. Great fucking videos...there is nothing on television that even almost compares
Beau, l think what you are calling blood splatters are small paintings using iron oxide or similar paint. The white figures in the middle are the Indians doing various things. I've come across similar paintings here in Mississippi on rocks. Great video and well done!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS AND YOU HAVE OVER DONE YOURSELF!!! THIS WAS SO FASCINATING !!! WOW 10 THUMBS UP BE CAREFUL AND SAFE AND YOU HAVE A LOYAL SUBSCRIBER HERE !! KEEP UP THE VIDEOS
You almost missed a lovely Red flowered Ecinocereus cuts there at 31. 35 . Great video Beau . In a spot like that , you really could feel as though you were the only person for miles . And the last visitor to that site , amy actually have been you all those years ago :D . I think it's wonderful that at least one of the rooms the original beams have survived . But also the finger prints in the mud give it such a human and friendly feeling . Almost s though their spirits are still there watching over you .
That was one of your best videos. So neat that you had such a special place all to yourself. I've always wanted to visit one of the cliff dwellings ever since I was a kid and read about the cowboy coming across Mesa Verde. I was glad to not see spray painted graffiti....maybe it is too much of a hike for the little thugs. I like it that you do videos on all things that interest you...not just metal detecting...........loved the cave stuff too! Felt like I was along for the trip on this one.
Loving this series of videos Brother, Thanx So much for sharing. Correct on the atlatl just say it a little faster. like at-latl . The cakes your talking about or Bread tastes like rice cakes if just flour was used, my Mother would use flour and fine ground corn that would give it a corn bread flavor. My family also used acorn and various other nuts ground fine and used to flavor the Bread. it lasts a long time, very dense. My family would make it on a hot flat stone. AKA Bread Stone. I loved to eat it with a slice of Pemmican on it. I still make Pemmican the way My Mother made it passed down through the generations and I still take it on hunting, hiking and camping trips. Haven't made the bread in years because my kids didn't like it much so wife wouldn't make it. I think the rounded wall would have served two purposes first more strength as cylindrical object can hold up massive weight. and lasts for radiant heat that shape tends to reflect heat better than a flat surface.
Your very best video by far! I watch this once or twice a year. I am an easterner, but have a "romantic" love for the west. Going by yourself and whispering adds so much to the charm. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for clear speech. It's always easy to hear every word you say, as Im not a native English speaker, that means a lot for me.
I visited Mesa Verde with my parents when I was a kid. My impression back then was it's just a bunch of rocks. As my love for history grew I became obcessed with history of the ancients. Thank you so much for this series! I greatly enjoyed it!
The "too round" hole in the ceiling beam may well be a core sample taken in order to date the age of the tree (Dendrochronology). This has been standard practice at Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, etc.
Wow! ! absolutely amazing. I bet those woman made beautiful woven mats and blankets for their families.
I just want to thank you for taking me on this amazing journey with you Chig. I am disabled and there is no way for me to go explore the world like you do.

mark Bohamed my thoughts,exactly!
I've always thought the people who lived in those homes were doing so for protection, yet the more you talked the more the other reasons made a great deal of sense, its beautiful and the location more ambient.
I waited for this video to come online! So excited! Mr. Chiggels keep up the good work.
The Mogollon (Mo-gee-yon) and Anasazi Indians lived in that area until about 1,200 years ago when the Apaches, Navajos, and Comanches moved in and killed most of them off. Some managed to survive by moving into big pueblos with larger tribes near rivers but most were kill. The ranchers finding the Indian belongings in place tell me the Indians were probably ambushed below and killed, probably taking their food and anything they had with them but the raiding Indians never found the cliff dwellings.
Thanks for the great explanation! 😁

Marilyn Wilkie lol mine too
Chigg these are fascinating. Thanks for doing this. I will watch these several times. God Bless Us All.
This may have been from a few years ago, but there is always something for me to learn from Aquachigger. Incredible video. Thank you.
It's staggering to think of how old those beams are. Touching fingerprints left hundreds ago is just amazing, the human connection.
This is not only your best video but one of the best on all of utube in my opinion . This is just as good as it gets.
Thank you for taking us with you! I miss all your exploration videos, so it was really nice to come across this one from so long ago. What a beautiful place, seems like a good area to wait out the apocalypse. 😅

History lessons with The Chigg! I love it! I am so fascinated with old historic ruins..
The scenery is breath taking. Those dwellings took along time to build and difficult.
I watch all your videos new and old these are by far the most enjoyable to me I bought a metal detector as I was inspired by your video I bought the same that you use the Mac Pro I enjoy detecting I’m 71and feel like a kid with the treasure I find thanks

GRANNY TG TG GRANNY Me,also
I'm generally a patient person but must admit I had trouble waiting for this one.Thanking you in advance.💝
Thank you so much for this adventure. I am disabled and could not have done this myself but it was like I was right there beside you making it up a mountain to see it too.
Chigg; just a note. In the old days sometimes people would char the outer side of wood in order for it to withstand decay for a longer period of time. Old timers did it with fence posts.
I would like to live in a place that has so many different types of natural building materials. great place,thanks for taking us along.
So very cool, Beau. Thank you so much for taking us along. What an experience:)
Thank you for taking me on this journey; something I most likely won't ever see. Love the history lesson and exploring!
I spent four nights at Mesa Verde a few years ago.i found the culture fascinating. thank you Chigg, really enjoyed your adventure.
so hard to believe that all that was done by hand it blows the mind again thanx for showing us chigg
Thank you for sharing your wonderful exploration. Because of your narrative, I feel like I was there with you. : )
Yey I'm so excited to watch this I've been waiting all day on the edge of my seat for it!!I love your work Aquachigger, I'm addicted to your videos! And your personality!!
andrea lewis me,too!
really enjoying this video, and thank you, I'm not able to hike any longer and so would never be able to get there. I love that you show everything, share what you know about it, and include 'close ups' even into the cracks and crannies... just like I would look IF I were there. I really appreciate you taking us along. Looking forward to the next part.
Totally mind boggling.👍
Holy Bobbins! I caught a fresh, new upload. Keep up the good work Chigg. I love watching your adventures from across the pond.
aguachigger thank you for taking us with you on your trips
By far the best video yet!! Awesome
You are my favorite channel.
Always interesting.
Such a pleasure to watch each and every one of your videos. You only talk when necessary and are always informative and insightful. Very peaceful content. Thank you, as i very much enjoy viewing these moments youve captured
I love people like you
Aquachigger thank you so much for these videos. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one. The hike and seeing these structures is just like being there. It would be so cool to hike this one day. but I'm not to sure if I can because of my knees too give me problems. But your videos are just like being there. Thank you.
They did all of this by hand, amazing !
It's just my opinion, I think the natives transition into Clif dwellings for protection from the hostiles. It's easier to fight down from a Cliff then to fight your way up! Not to mention you can see your enemy coming for miles away giving them the edge in ambushes!

I think this is one of your most interesting videos, very nice work. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos up.
I’m so grateful for your videos. I did a few days out like this on my last trip to Arizona. Making plans again, thanks for your inspiration.
Good day to you Sir.. Really great footage. If I had the money I'd shovel a boatload to you for what you go through in your videos. Love it man.
Thanks. I loved the video. I enjoy trying to picture how they overcame life challenges.
KUDOS OUT TO YOU MY FRIEND TO HAVE THE STRENGTH TO BRING US THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO SERIES
Thanks man it's great to see you appreciate our history and respect the dwellings. You are a good man and I love your enthusiasm, not just for this area away from your own area,, but even on your own area.
Absolutely an amazing adventure, looking forward to part 3. Would not complain if there is a part 4,5,6. Thanks for sharing.
Look at a video of Chaco Canyon. Same type of masonry, same openings with a T shape, same corner doors, and the rounded room at this location resembles a Chaco Kiva.
best one yet. was there when I was a teen
I appreciate this second video; quite a lot to take in. Thank you for sharing.
Again I say georgous vedio love history thank you for taking the time to share and we know how much time it takes
This is absolutely amazing!! I stumbled upon a dwelling similar to this that hadn't been explored and there was no trails leading to it.
Can you imagine the amount of work it took those people to haul all those logs and rocks ,dirt for mortar ,water not to mention their food supplies.
This is beautiful.... an amazing video chig... I'm in awe....... luv from the UK.........
Can't wait for part 3. I so enjoy getting to go to these wondrous places through videos from explorers like yourself. And Bear Grylls has nothing on you.:)
aquachigger your channel is the best I Injoy watching everyday, more power and good luck for your next treasures, Greetings from Philippines.
That was awesome thanks can't wait part 3 just amazing to still be able to go into them
thank you so much for sharing this adventure. I'm glad that you were able to relive a very fond memory. I'd have been more askeered of cats than momma bears 😃
well worth the wait... beautiful history... thanks for sharing Chig
I am a Native American I want to thank you for sharing your videos I watched 1. 2. 3. They were awesome they could have been my ancestors but they are a little bit distance from where I come from I am a Lumbee Indian My Tribe comes from North Carolina South of the Lumbee River we start a family tree several years ago the tracking of our ancestors went all the way back to 1550 to date it was amazing all who we found and we realize that they were all over the country just not in North Carolina I hope you keep doing good videos thank you again

PS - Those "Chuckit!" tennis ball throwers use the same principle as the ancient atl-atl.
PPS - Were there wood ladders that connected the various levels and catwalks.?
thanks for the adventure! look forward to part 3! be safe!
I will be making this trip someday as well, i have to be honest, i get quite irritated when i see historical places likes this that i have known zero about in my entire life, i had no idea there were still native cliff dwelling in america that anyone could go visit, thank you for showing me the light, I can tell you have a real love for Arizona, i can see why, it's beautiful.
wow, thats amazing Beau! Thank You very much for sharing this. Beautiful area also.
I love your SW videos. Hard to decide if I love them more than the river adventures but guess I will call it a draw!
I was almost in the middle of a busy village as you took us through such incredible structures. I love Native American artifacts and structures - greatly respect their old ways. At the end of the day, I have to ask what kind of people are capable of taking out nation after nation of human beings.
Aqua-yapper! I love love love your videos. You are a wealth of knowledge, you have a personality that makes you super easy to love and listen to. Great fucking videos...there is nothing on television that even almost compares
Hard to believe that places like this still exist, thank you for posting this.
Fantastic, beautiful and interesting! Thank-you!!
Beau, l think what you are calling blood splatters are small paintings using iron oxide or similar paint. The white figures in the middle are the Indians doing various things. I've come across similar paintings here in Mississippi on rocks. Great video and well done!
Incredible video. Thank you for all of your hard and diligent work!
Thanks Beau well worth the hike .
Love it! Thanks for taking me along!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS AND YOU HAVE OVER DONE YOURSELF!!! THIS WAS SO FASCINATING !!! WOW 10 THUMBS UP BE CAREFUL AND SAFE AND YOU HAVE A LOYAL SUBSCRIBER HERE !! KEEP UP THE VIDEOS
this is one of your best vids mate keep them coming, fan from australia.

So fascinating and absolutely breathtaking
That was one of your best videos. So neat that you had such a special place all to yourself. I've always wanted to visit one of the cliff dwellings ever since I was a kid and read about the cowboy coming across Mesa Verde. I was glad to not see spray painted graffiti....maybe it is too much of a hike for the little thugs. I like it that you do videos on all things that interest you...not just metal detecting...........loved the cave stuff too! Felt like I was along for the trip on this one.
Very nice little climb/hike. Very cool dwellings.
Loving this series of videos Brother, Thanx So much for sharing. Correct on the atlatl just say it a little faster. like at-latl . The cakes your talking about or Bread tastes like rice cakes if just flour was used, my Mother would use flour and fine ground corn that would give it a corn bread flavor. My family also used acorn and various other nuts ground fine and used to flavor the Bread. it lasts a long time, very dense. My family would make it on a hot flat stone. AKA Bread Stone. I loved to eat it with a slice of Pemmican on it. I still make Pemmican the way My Mother made it passed down through the generations and I still take it on hunting, hiking and camping trips. Haven't made the bread in years because my kids didn't like it much so wife wouldn't make it. I think the rounded wall would have served two purposes first more strength as cylindrical object can hold up massive weight. and lasts for radiant heat that shape tends to reflect heat better than a flat surface.
You have some good insights.
TY Sir
