When I watch this I can almost feel the serene, quiet, peacefulness. There should be a map where everyone that's hiked for Kenny maps out spots they've looked in all the canyons.
I'm enjoying your videos - such pretty scenery and I enjoy your conversation as you hike. I don't think anyone will find Kenny though. That area is just so vast with so many places where he could have gotten injured, harmed himself, or ran into someone who harmed him. It's not surprising that an experienced hiker/explorer disappeared. It happens. Nature is unforgiving and experience doesn't prevent accidents or mistakes. I totally understand why you love hiking out there -- looks so peaceful, quiet and beautiful!
Really enjoyed this video, can't hike anymore but love watching your adventures, Would love to see a live hike so had to subscribe and ring the bell so I will be notified. Thank you for a great watch,
Wow! What a hike! So glad i happened to stumble onto you while cruising YT. Beautiful but deadly place. Greatly enjoyed the hike back thru that canyon. Just loved it! Was so me as a younger woman! I miss hiking. It was so relaxing to me, to just go wander thru Mother Natures wonderful world ! God Bless you & ty for taking me along. Such a pleasure. Kenny will be found when God so says its time. Patience is the virtue here. Ty again. Peace to you & yours. Keep on searching & taking us all along.
Your video offerings are personal, real, important, and deep. You shoot what you want to shoot. Please never let people talk you down into changing your approach to exploration.
You found a Kenny Veach rock cairn! This whole story is reminding me of one of the series of books, Alfred Hitchcock & the Three Investigators. I forgot the name of that particular installment, but one day, you're gonna find a cave, and somewhere inside, you're gonna find Kenny's skeleton, sitting on a rock, still wearing his clothes, 9 emm emm in hand and a hole in the skull. Just like Pete Crenshaw found El Diablo in that cave. Of course, El Diablo was already shot by a posse and went into the cave to die. That is assuming Kenny didn't punk us and is still alive. Love these videos. Prolly gonna watch that truck find one more than once. I so wanna be there. Almost feel like I am there. What might be nice is if you Gopro'd part of the ride from Vegas, just to get an idea of the complete trip.
Sb i am new to your channel and i discovered that your cool and you rule. Your very thorough and your channel is exactly what i have been looking for. Thanks for a great video. 📹 🎉
There are 3 hand prints near the petroglyph you claimed up to. They're in a video posted by Aquachigger. Great hike. As usual, be safe and careful. Also, if you look at that petroglyph you'll see there are numbers written within it either in charcoal or pencil. I miss hiking through the forests with my drone tracking my every step. Now with COPD those hikes aren't possible. When I watch you, I watch every step you take. Never skip or fast forward. Thank you for taking all of us with you.
I think you should have checked the area around those juniper trees that you were at just before lunch because if Kenny had to spend the night somewhere up there then he would have done so near trees. Being an avid hiker all my life you camp near trees for firewood so you have light and so you can keep warm. The trees also shelter you from the wind and can provide you with soft bedding and in the sheep range this is even more important because the rocks are so rough. You said he pushed his body you have to think like he did. I've been through the sheep range and it is by far one of the most inhospitable places I've ever seen in my life and in the desert trees mean life.
Just getting around to watching the full video since I missed part of the live premiere but I have to say I love this intro!!!! Great job, got me super amped up!!!
I realized I hadn’t seen this video so I’m watching it and you showed a clip from Kenny’s video where he is talking about the M cave and he walked past the so-called covered m cave. I had a good laugh because wasn’t it supposedly covered up as some kind of conspiracy and it is clearly just another natural rock feature. Interesting.
I just noticed that myself. He looks right at it and says he's gotta keep his eyes peeled. Isn't that going back down the canyon? On the side with lots of bushes you just walk past?
Love these videos, and I am an avid hiker and scale. Every tall mountain I can find on the east coast, but with my schedule, it’s almost impossible to get out there to hike in that area so I really appreciate these videos. Any of your hiking videos related to Kenny I will definitely watch.
The hike you made where you found the buckets with food n clothing. Buy checking the expiration date on the can . You can base how long dose items been there.
Steve, I don't know what it is, but something very true and real draws me into your videos. I keep wanting to relate to you in words what I see and feel as you hike and climb. My own experiences in mountains all over North America possessed the same feeling that seems timeless and impersonal with no face to it like the POV of your camera with no one's head actually behind it.
Hey SB...what is the model number of your gopro cam you're using and how long can it record on one full battery charge? Thanks and great video...keep up the good work dude...
Bravo Steve! I always admire your videos! I don't understand where Kenny could be. If he is still around there somewhere he must be somewhere deep in the whole mountain range. Of course I don't know a whole lot or anything about the Sheep range but I do know that it is beautiful but an unforgiving landscape
I’m house bound unable to walk and your videos are absolutely amazing, I feel like I’m there with you, ? I was just wondering if you are prepared to find human remains or have before, it’s so considerate and caring of you to go out on these dreadful Terrains searching and exploring, take care and great thanks and gratitude for what you are doing x x. ❤
Glad to have you along. People have asked what I would do if I found remains and I can say I would do the right thing, notify the authorities and they would notify the family. Once the case was complete, I would then post my video but even TH-cam would not permit anything truly graphic but my video's are all about the search anyway.
I love these hikes and I’ve been following along on TH-cam for a while. I’m planning to come out here next month…I’m from Toronto. I know , a long way from home, but I’d just like to look around. If Kenny is still out there and watching these videos from somewhere like Mexico, give us a clue. Say hello. This story is just so intriguing to me. I will document my entire week on TH-cam daily, when I do my hike. Cheers!!!
Great hike Steve appreciate all the hard effort to bring us a beautiful look at Skull Canyon and of course Picture Canyon as well. At 2:06:43-44 I thought I heard a dog bark but most likely the rustle of your gear. Who knows, stay safe my friend.
It's good to see your concern for Kenny Vetch. I watched his channel. His disappearance is a sad mystery. I enjoy your ideas for hiking accessories like the surgical gloves. I like your stops, like the black beetle, of observation.
So I was wondering where I can find a plant like the one placed over the path the first time you see it at 00:41 and I watched the whole hike again and it takes a while until you see a plant like this again and that’s at 1:21 almost all the way up 🤔 so where did it come from ? Who put it there ? Then I watched the first 40 min again and at 32:34 you can see something that looks like it but I’m not sure about that but sure thing is that stuff is growing all over the mountain top and somehow nowhere else. Than I thought about that petroglyph you found a few minutes before you found that plant placed over the path and when you think a little abstract the petroglyph/picture looks like that plant but that’s just me trying to read any signs. My next step is finding out what kind of plant that is… what do you think ? 😅
I really appreciate the work effort and thought you put into this. Im curious after all the miles you've walked, and the hours of videos you watched what is your gut about what happened to KV?
It's hard to say. Some say he staged his disappearance but if he is out there I think an intentional or unintentional incident prevented his return. I operate on the belief that evidence will someday be found.
@SBVegasAdventures I agree with you. He always struck me as too genuine to stage something like this. An accident seems more likely. I hope if he is found it is by someone like you who has reverence and respect. Well done. Your videos are top-notch!
@SBVegasAdventures I really do, your respect and knowledge makes it feel as tho we are adventuring with you 😊 keep making videos and ill happily like share and watch all the kenny veach ones. I pray something is found to lay him to rest. That mad attention he has brought to an area he loved is also poetic

it looks like in the intro you are sitting on a military base--Nellis perhaps:) I used to work at many different bases so the architecture looks like what I'm used to:) Also just noticed your camo --Air Force style. Like one of the other commenters said, I'm also unable to go out as much as I'd like so I live vicariously through videos like this. Stay safe!
At time mark 1:23:20, you see that little sand pit that is below some rocks? That is a place where dad and I would have dug. It is a spill way when water is flowing there. It is a natural bucket. You dig down there and if there is any gold in there, it will gather at the bottom of that natural bucket. Dad and I have found gold nuggets in places like that. The gold is heavy so once in the bucket, it will not flow down further. it will work it's way to the rock in the bottom and the lighter sand lighter rocks, will wash on down the valley.
hi, just started with your videos after learning about the kv story. I like what you put out, so thanks! At the 47:20 mark you're at the one cave and comment about a letter carved possibly in the rock. If you look at it it says "KeN" with what looks like an up arrow before the K
I had a hard time seeing any clear letters but I will say that the area I was in, that small canyon, was in Kenny's final video so he was there for sure! Is that tiny cave the M Cave he spoke of? Nobody knows!
Thanks for putting this video together. It is weird that you found d the stacked rocks. That is strange. Toward the end when you ran up the hill , dude! I just don't how you did that after a long hike like that. My legs would be jello by that time. I am interest in Kenny and wondered what happened to him. Thanks for efforts I have spend many hours I. The desert and it is fun but dangerous out there. Be safe look forward to your vids. J
your hikes are so intriguing, the knowledge of the terrain,..to think it happens to the best its sad kenny hasn't ever been found.all for some on line random telling. kenny to prove his truth. sad so sad .you stay safe Steve peac.
You can get any number of wifi cameras to keep an eye on your truck. I currently use canary. Cannot promise someone won’t break in but if you have wifi yourself you can be notified immediately and can watch your truck live anytime to make sure everything is in tact. It will also capture and record if someone breaks in, you might be able to catch them or get them on camera. Also, if you are notified, at least you could notify cops immediately and have a fighting chance and you may be able to give police a vehicle description to be looking for. You can also pay for service where the device itself automatically alerts police. It’s pretty remote, it would still be hard for somebody to get by with it especially if you have several anti-theft precautions in place including lining some of your valuables with GPS monitoring. Plus people out there have guns and binoculars, lot of people would shoot to kill if someone robbed them or felt threatened.
Love the content took me awhile to catch up to this video. See you talk about eating cold food. Have you ever considered dry fuel to heat the water you put in your food. Super light weight, wont take up much space in your backpack.
May I suggest taking the tourniquet out of the plastic in the possible instance you would utilize it well it surly will make it easier. Kudos on the fenix torch man who knows appreciates a company who does it right.
Hi Steve. It be interesting if you find that tree where Kenny eat the pine nuts. I belive in the video it was october. Are there other time in the year you can find pine nuts? Sorry if my english is not perfect in live in the eu. I seen all your videos.
I have been looking for that tree but can't seem to find it. I know it's at the higher elevations, probably around Wildhorse Pass. I will need to do another trip out there sometime.
Ive studied potential route on his way back out there, considered Sheep as a main destination (possibly Hayford) ...this is the one direction or back up at the sword nonsense, but ultimately up left toward sheep peak or more N the Cabin. So right idea to look in this one.
Hi Steve, Skull Canyon was definitely an interesting but very rugged and unforgiving place, at 1:17:56 there was what looked like an old campfire but on closer inspection it has what seems to be a cross made out of the sticks, also there is what looks like a hat like the one's Kenny used to wear or it could be a metal plate. To the left of the "fire" there is a tree and underneath that tree is what looks like the outline of a body and just a few feet to the right of is what looks like a backpack shape. I did take a screenshot of it if you ever want me to send it to you. That was a tough hike for all the climbing over and up rocks you had to do, would you ever go to Jo May Canyon ???, Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞
I looked and was not able to see it so if you have a screenshot, you can sent it to me via Instagram or via the email address on the About page on my channel. I saw that little spot and thought it would make a good camping spot but would be worried about boulders falling from above.
@@SueGirling68 Got it, thanks! Hard to tell what that is in the photo, could be rocks. I will say that I wanted to check out that spot but did not on this trip. I will make a point to the next time I am in the area out there.
Brutal hike for sure. Your cardio and leg strength is unreal to be able to run up that berm after all that. There is a similar canyon that everyone overlooks heading south from that "skull canyon." I dont think anyone has ever been up that one either unless Sean did it when he was camping out there.
@@SBVegasAdventures Yep, when I was trying to find the mine on my second hike, I almost went up that canyon by mistake. It wouldnt have mattered though because I still didnt find it until my third hike. We did not have any maps back than. LOL
Kenny mentioned he had to go on the other side of Charleston mountain or a canyon super narrow and scary were his words. But then he said he had to climb down a dangerous mountain to find the m cave. He teferenced the route he was going to take as being right beside a bombing area 51 area and behind a big mountain. The narrow canyon leads to the craigy mountain and down along side the airforce base. He said the cave was on ground level but in the side of a mountain so to me that would mean its on a mountains ledge.
Hey mister sb, kenny once mentioned a cave he pointed his camera to , while he was walking then all of a sudden said " that looks like" then he stopped and said um im not going up in there. And he pointed to a narrow cave he zoomed in on with his camera and for months i felt he was in it because he got scared when he saw it and when he zoomed in, it looked like their was a person in a sleeping bag leaning against a wall. It was a narrow cave left of the screen and in a short mountain face. I wonder if he discovered something bad and he was attacked on his next hike after that. Its just after he mentioned where he gets his skulls.
1:01:58-- this so called covered Cave is visible in Kenny beaches video, except the dark colored rock which was removed recently was a still in pplace!
I enjoy the view over that beautiful desert. It's very different from where I live. One thing though that makes this vid less enjoyable though is the constant and fast panning without even resting on something before panning in the other direction again. Motion sickness triggering. And not easy to really see anything.
That winged demon your talking about is called a donkachen gargoyle, they are originally australian tribal natives that have spirit warriors that have first nations and tribal ancestrie that originally came from the siberian mountains in russia and spread down throughout gangas knan , china,then maori australia like nomads all the way on the baring straight and into arizona nevada utah ect . And continued to wisconin minnisota then down to the north into canada. They had shamen warriors. The gargoyles protected the mountainous sacred caves. Aomw say they came from the depths of hell from inside a cave that has a whole world in it i forget the name of it.
I suggest that you follow the clues that Kenny left. First the phone that was found use this as the centre of a circle. On google maps mark the centre of the circle and using a radius of 45 miles. This was his statement about how far he could walk in one day. Now look at the perimeter of the circle and look for any canyons that have M cave in there good luck. He may be living out there somewhere.
I find it fascinating that less than an hour outside a major city, a man enters wilderness alone and for several hours sees no one. What makes you or me explore wild areas while hundreds of thousands of other people never do?
If you look at the terrain of the different Canyons the skyline is different on all of them the crest you have to follow the crest on the last Canyon he was in after he stopped at the Pinon trees to get the nuts the crest of the canyon that was last was moon-shaped not jagged
That was a good one, Steve! Just remember, not all petroglyphs were made by Indians. Lots of other folks wandered those lands, as well. Spanish treasure hunters were quite active at one time, so the symbols you find carved in the rocks could be clues to a cache. Have you thought about doing an overnighter out there, or is that not something you're inclined to do?
I am absolutely considering an overnighter out there, I think viewers want to see it. I have a place in mind to camp and there is a cell signal so when I do, I will likely do hourly livestreams. I just need to wait for the weather to warm up a bit.
The flower stalk across the path looks like an old yucca flower stalk and the cactus that got your boot is called a cholla (choy-ya) cactus. I grew up in Las Vegas and hiked all over the desert.
Also you are hiking in mostly dolomite/limestone stair like layers. Most of the geology around Las Vegas is sedimentary and the little veins and channels are probably where erosion carves and then eventually mineral precipitates out of limestones to fill in. You might also see conglomerates where rocks are imbedded in other rocks.
That black living lichen/fungus you saw is called “biological soil crust”. The mass can include lichen, mosses, green algae, microfungi, and bacteria, but is mostly cyanobacteria, better known as green-blue algae. It takes hundreds of years, if ever, to recover if disturbed.
Great video!
Please keep going on searching 🙏🏼!
When I watch this I can almost feel the serene, quiet, peacefulness. There should be a map where everyone that's hiked for Kenny maps out spots they've looked in all the canyons.
I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn't sure how easy it would be to map each little cave. But that would be awesome to do
I have lived in Vegas my entire life and it's so interesting to see places I would never see. Thank you for tge adventure, Steve.
Thank you Steve for hauling me along! Super fun and loved seeing all this incredible terrain!

The way you navigate that terrain. Your a monster, I'd be dead by now

At 1:28:50 : What is that red/brown thing on the ground to your right? Rock or leather?
Looks like a rock but it sure looks out of place!

At time mark 1:23:20, you see that little sand pit that is below some rocks? That is a place where dad and I would have dug. It is a spill way when water is flowing there. It is a natural bucket. You dig down there and if there is any gold in there, it will gather at the bottom of that natural bucket. Dad and I have found gold nuggets in places like that. The gold is heavy so once in the bucket, it will not flow down further. it will work it's way to the rock in the bottom and the lighter sand lighter rocks, will wash on down the valley.
Interesting. Makes sense!
hi, just started with your videos after learning about the kv story. I like what you put out, so thanks! At the 47:20 mark you're at the one cave and comment about a letter carved possibly in the rock. If you look at it it says "KeN" with what looks like an up arrow before the K
I had a hard time seeing any clear letters but I will say that the area I was in, that small canyon, was in Kenny's final video so he was there for sure! Is that tiny cave the M Cave he spoke of? Nobody knows!
@@SBVegasAdventures yes, I was curious as it had an arrow carved pointing up...wondered what was above that area?
Enjoying the scenery and commentary from New Mexico. Too bad about the drone ban...however , don't need it , the way you handle the camera wand.
Thanks for putting this video together. It is weird that you found d the stacked rocks. That is strange. Toward the end when you ran up the hill , dude! I just don't how you did that after a long hike like that. My legs would be jello by that time. I am interest in Kenny and wondered what happened to him. Thanks for efforts I have spend many hours I. The desert and it is fun but dangerous out there. Be safe look forward to your vids. J
Yeah, I somehow had a sudden burst of energy at that hill!
your hikes are so intriguing, the knowledge of the terrain,..to think it happens to the best its sad kenny hasn't ever been found.all for some on line random telling. kenny to prove his truth. sad so sad .you stay safe Steve peac.
You can get any number of wifi cameras to keep an eye on your truck. I currently use canary. Cannot promise someone won’t break in but if you have wifi yourself you can be notified immediately and can watch your truck live anytime to make sure everything is in tact. It will also capture and record if someone breaks in, you might be able to catch them or get them on camera. Also, if you are notified, at least you could notify cops immediately and have a fighting chance and you may be able to give police a vehicle description to be looking for. You can also pay for service where the device itself automatically alerts police. It’s pretty remote, it would still be hard for somebody to get by with it especially if you have several anti-theft precautions in place including lining some of your valuables with GPS monitoring. Plus people out there have guns and binoculars, lot of people would shoot to kill if someone robbed them or felt threatened.
Love the content took me awhile to catch up to this video. See you talk about eating cold food. Have you ever considered dry fuel to heat the water you put in your food. Super light weight, wont take up much space in your backpack.
I have considered a heater for food but just haven't gotten around to getting one yet.
Good video, should check the "key hole" while there
May I suggest taking the tourniquet out of the plastic in the possible instance you would utilize it well it surly will make it easier. Kudos on the fenix torch man who knows appreciates a company who does it right.
Hi Steve. It be interesting if you find that tree where Kenny eat the pine nuts. I belive in the video it was october. Are there other time in the year you can find pine nuts? Sorry if my english is not perfect in live in the eu. I seen all your videos.
I have been looking for that tree but can't seem to find it. I know it's at the higher elevations, probably around Wildhorse Pass. I will need to do another trip out there sometime.
Love your hiking vids but would love to see some desert camping,would make great content.
I am planning at least one overnight out there later this year when the weather warms up a bit. Stay tuned....
I really appreciate your efforts!
Ive studied potential route on his way back out there, considered Sheep as a main destination (possibly Hayford) ...this is the one direction or back up at the sword nonsense, but ultimately up left toward sheep peak or more N the Cabin. So right idea to look in this one.
Hi Steve, Skull Canyon was definitely an interesting but very rugged and unforgiving place, at 1:17:56 there was what looked like an old campfire but on closer inspection it has what seems to be a cross made out of the sticks, also there is what looks like a hat like the one's Kenny used to wear or it could be a metal plate. To the left of the "fire" there is a tree and underneath that tree is what looks like the outline of a body and just a few feet to the right of is what looks like a backpack shape. I did take a screenshot of it if you ever want me to send it to you. That was a tough hike for all the climbing over and up rocks you had to do, would you ever go to Jo May Canyon ???, Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞
I looked and was not able to see it so if you have a screenshot, you can sent it to me via Instagram or via the email address on the About page on my channel. I saw that little spot and thought it would make a good camping spot but would be worried about boulders falling from above.
Oh and yes, I have been thru Joe May Canyon many times. Check my "Lost Mine" videos.
@@SBVegasAdventures it must be my memory as I do have Fibromyalgia. I have watched all of the video's on your channel. xx
@@SBVegasAdventures I have just sent you the screenshot on your Instagram message. xx
@@SueGirling68 Got it, thanks! Hard to tell what that is in the photo, could be rocks. I will say that I wanted to check out that spot but did not on this trip. I will make a point to the next time I am in the area out there.
Brutal hike for sure. Your cardio and leg strength is unreal to be able to run up that berm after all that. There is a similar canyon that everyone overlooks heading south from that "skull canyon." I dont think anyone has ever been up that one either unless Sean did it when he was camping out there.
I know the canyon you speak of and would like to explore it sometime. It's the opposite side of Picture Canyon from the Skull Canyon
@@SBVegasAdventures Yep, when I was trying to find the mine on my second hike, I almost went up that canyon by mistake. It wouldnt have mattered though because I still didnt find it until my third hike. We did not have any maps back than. LOL
Kenny mentioned he had to go on the other side of Charleston mountain or a canyon super narrow and scary were his words. But then he said he had to climb down a dangerous mountain to find the m cave. He teferenced the route he was going to take as being right beside a bombing area 51 area and behind a big mountain. The narrow canyon leads to the craigy mountain and down along side the airforce base. He said the cave was on ground level but in the side of a mountain so to me that would mean its on a mountains ledge.
That was a good idea Steve skull canyon awesome thank you for the trip
Brilliant amazing job stay safe keep hiking
Those lines on those rocks are from centuries of water falling and washing down them. Those canyons used to be filled with water about 20 feet high.
Hey mister sb, kenny once mentioned a cave he pointed his camera to , while he was walking then all of a sudden said " that looks like" then he stopped and said um im not going up in there. And he pointed to a narrow cave he zoomed in on with his camera and for months i felt he was in it because he got scared when he saw it and when he zoomed in, it looked like their was a person in a sleeping bag leaning against a wall. It was a narrow cave left of the screen and in a short mountain face. I wonder if he discovered something bad and he was attacked on his next hike after that. Its just after he mentioned where he gets his skulls.
@@greenalien3857 yep, I explored that place in my “Skull Canyon” video
Drone would’ve been great
1:01:58-- this so called covered Cave is visible in Kenny beaches video, except the dark colored rock which was removed recently was a still in pplace!
Another adventure on the books, I really appreciate how you value your safety, only way to continue to do dangerous things.
I was thinking the same thing you were thinking when you said, "This sure is beautiful."
I enjoy the view over that beautiful desert. It's very different from where I live.
One thing though that makes this vid less enjoyable though is the constant and fast panning without even resting on something before panning in the other direction again. Motion sickness triggering. And not easy to really see anything.
Good feedback! I'll keep in in mind for future videos
That winged demon your talking about is called a donkachen gargoyle, they are originally australian tribal natives that have spirit warriors that have first nations and tribal ancestrie that originally came from the siberian mountains in russia and spread down throughout gangas knan , china,then maori australia like nomads all the way on the baring straight and into arizona nevada utah ect . And continued to wisconin minnisota then down to the north into canada. They had shamen warriors. The gargoyles protected the mountainous sacred caves. Aomw say they came from the depths of hell from inside a cave that has a whole world in it i forget the name of it.
1:10:37 - I know that feeling. Home is not a place. It is a feeling...
I have watched this video 2 to 3 times and I have yet to see a skull. Did Kenny get all of the already..
I suggest that you follow the clues that Kenny left. First the phone that was found use this as the centre of a circle. On google maps mark the centre of the circle and using a radius of 45 miles. This was his statement about how far he could walk in one day. Now look at the perimeter of the circle and look for any canyons that have M cave in there good luck. He may be living out there somewhere.
I find it fascinating that less than an hour outside a major city, a man enters wilderness alone and for several hours sees no one. What makes you or me explore wild areas while hundreds of thousands of other people never do?
Great view, great hike. I think one day your going to trip over Kenny’s bones.
At time stamp 100. To your left in the narrow rigged akull cayon i saw a cave you need to check it out.
@@greenalien3857 I will look
Looks like allot of markings at 46:57.
I love the candor in this video
I'm ready!
Good to see Steve gettin` back in the saddle for a long Hike
If you look at the terrain of the different Canyons the skyline is different on all of them the crest you have to follow the crest on the last Canyon he was in after he stopped at the Pinon trees to get the nuts the crest of the canyon that was last was moon-shaped not jagged
I'm ready!!!!!
That was a good one, Steve! Just remember, not all petroglyphs were made by Indians. Lots of other folks wandered those lands, as well. Spanish treasure hunters were quite active at one time, so the symbols you find carved in the rocks could be clues to a cache.
Have you thought about doing an overnighter out there, or is that not something you're inclined to do?
I am absolutely considering an overnighter out there, I think viewers want to see it. I have a place in mind to camp and there is a cell signal so when I do, I will likely do hourly livestreams. I just need to wait for the weather to warm up a bit.
The flower stalk across the path looks like an old yucca flower stalk and the cactus that got your boot is called a cholla (choy-ya) cactus. I grew up in Las Vegas and hiked all over the desert.
Good catch! Just seemed odd to be in the location it was.
Also you are hiking in mostly dolomite/limestone stair like layers. Most of the geology around Las Vegas is sedimentary and the little veins and channels are probably where erosion carves and then eventually mineral precipitates out of limestones to fill in. You might also see conglomerates where rocks are imbedded in other rocks.
@@MayorNan Wow, interesting!
The plant blocking you path at about 1:18 is Mormon tea, in the ephedra family and can be used for energy.
That black living lichen/fungus you saw is called “biological soil crust”. The mass can include lichen, mosses, green algae, microfungi, and bacteria, but is mostly cyanobacteria, better known as green-blue algae. It takes hundreds of years, if ever, to recover if disturbed.
A metal detector would be cool to use once in a while see what comes of it. Im sure many do use em out in the mojave
