Just wanted to say thanks again to all those who took the time to watch. I have another video coming soon in which I head to an even stranger and arguably cooler geologic site. Stay tuned
Nice walk. and yes, there may always be more...there's just never nothing to do.. like polishing rocks, etc. I walk shores by the Salish Sea. now i keep some vinegar in a small squirt bottle to check for calcites/limestone; also some small pointy rocks and tools of known hardness to help identify minerals. They sell 30% acidic acid to kill weeds and muriatic acid(37%? HCL) for pool and concrete cleaning if you want stronger acids. Makes it easy to tell limestone from quartz and related 'glass'. Squirt a drop on and CO2 will release from the limestones. I keep some dry baking soda in a ziploc bag to neutralize the acid. You may have found fossils. The 2nd rock shows a fingernail shaped white intrusion(s) and other tubelike shapes... at least as suspicious as the 1st rock as it also shows possible broken mollusk shells. If they are still lime-based, acid will tell. I got a cheap microscope from amazon. the size of pocket flashlight; $35, usb for charging and into 'puter/wireless to android or iphone and pads; 50x to 2000x(maybe! on a big display). Makes a good and dimmable flashlight as well.
Hey David, thanks so much for all of this insight! Really appreciate you helping me make sense of some of the things I discovered. I will surely take your advice on some of these tools to help identify rocks/fossils on my future excursions. Thanks again
Thank you for showing us another beautiful place Johnny Out West! I'm going backwards to watch your videos after finding you on youtube yesterday. It's sad to see that there are disrespectful people who graffiti these historic ancient sites. Thank you for bringing it to the public's attention. 🙏
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley hiking in our local mountains was always my favorite pastime. We would also goes recreational Target practicing in the high desert. All over the area I was always amazed them on a fossils that we would find. I always remember going shooting up against the full black shale mountain. These two kids were knocking apart the pieces of shale and getting all these cool fossils and there was a mountain of them but I can't remember where it was. Knowing what they're worth I could have made a fortune even today if I could figure it out. There were so many back Canyon roads. My cousin in Burbank a pond in this backyard and they were pulling up Abalone shells perfect condition tons of them. On the tops of the mountains in Chatsworth Park we found fossils. I'm sure you'd find it all really interesting. Thanks for taking me along and another adventure have a great day🎉🎉🎉
The Wind Cave was very interesting. I can imagine cavemen or indigenous people living in it. By the looks of the cave, it doesn't look like it will be around much longer, just like the arch that collapsed in Utah. There may be an app that would identify what kind of rocks there are and the fossils in them. I know there is one for identifying plants. Nice video! Thanks for sharing.
Great video... beautiful bright blue sky and strong gray clifs make a dramatic contrast. i remember going out fossil hunting in some limestone cliffs (back in the East Coast) ... pretty often we'd use a rock hammer to split rocks...it was quite amazing, because sometimes you'd find a perfectly fossilized fern or maybe a marine animal. like the shell you found, they had. been transformed over time into rock. fossil hunting is fascinating
Hey Johnny, Baz here from Yorkshire in the UK. Thanks for allowing me to see experience your amazing geology! Those little fossils you found are probably tens of millions of yrs old! From a time when the whole area was under sea water. That freaky wingy looking bug fossil you found could have been a petrified leaf? Keep going my friend! Il stay tuned in! But.... maybe get a good gimble for your camera?
Whatsup Baz! Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the adventure. Funny enough, after this video I bought a camera with a built in gimbal. -Johnny
Thanks for letting us tag along. I don’t know anything about you personally, but I can’t help but think that your curious nature would make you a wonderful candidate to seek higher education in any of these subjects. ❤
Wow thanks so much for those kind words! That thought has actually crossed my mind a number of times. Perhaps I will one of these days. More western adventures coming soon! -Johnny
Great content and intention. And I'm right there with you in the sentiments that you expressed. My only suggestion would be to use a camera stabilizer or video stabilizing software.
Well done. How long is the trail from trailhead to cave? Is it part of a longer trail? A loop? I noticed a beautiful birch tree lined trail, was that on the majority of the hike or did this different terrain as you walked?
Thank you! It is an out-and-back trail. From trailhead to cave its about 1.6 miles so it's a relatively quick one. As for the trees I am not entirely sure
Wasn't that long ago, although caves are definitely ancient, created when the rock we stand on was solidified, in the cooling process. That would have been when Earth was a smaller body, on an ancient landscape more fitting for dinosaurs. Flatter, fewer rivers, ancient seabeds. Shallow seas, perfect for encasing dinosaur bones, for discovery later. A firehose of water washed across the Dakotas, millions of years after the dinosaurs, but the area with Wind Cave, and the Black Hills, were pushed up, preserving the ancient landscape, if now tilted, above the wind- and water-carved plains leading into central Wyoming, and Colorado's western Slopes. The watercourse from the Arctic Ocean, to the Atlantic, across the Great Plains, was diverted, water pouring through the Bozeman Gap, on the north, and the basin in central Wyoming. The waterway was 300 miles wide, in northern Alberta, and up to 750 miles, in the Great Plains, a massive amount of water shifted westerly, and suddenly, when the Rocky Mountains Front Range was pushed up, with the Colorado Plateau. Much of that water poured into northwestern Colorado, and eastern Utah, rapidly eroding out the wonders of Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, and Zion, in its passage. An inland sea almost 400 miles N-S and 300 miles E-W, filled the Four Corners basin, remaining for more than three millennia.
There are no caves in this video. Barely an alcove. A cave is generally defined as a hollow structure in rock deep enough that no light can be seen from outside.

Awesome adventure and great details! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you so much! Truly means a lot. Hopefully will have a new video up next week. Be sure to turn on notifications so you dont miss it!

@@johnnyoutwest I will be looking forward to the next one! Be safe out there and enjoy.. thank you!
better and better everytime. the storytelling and history on this one were great man. Killing it!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Trying to get better and better!
Very cool! I love Utah! Thanks for taking us along on your hike!
Thanks so much for watching!!
Beautiful hike!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Chris! I just posted a new video to my channel a couple days ago. I think you’ll like it, let me know what you think!
thank you, again!
Thanks for watching Shawn!

Johnny out west! You keep delivering 🔥🔥🔥 videos!
Thanks so much for watching 💚⛰
Just found your channel I am enjoying it very much
welcome to the channel and thank you for watching! More geologic and archeological adventures coming soon ⛰🌄

Thanks so much for the kind words! That's awesome, I'd love to get more into geologic exploration like that. Agreed its super fascinating.

Informative and entertaining!

@@johnnyoutwest looking forward to seeing how that performs. What did you get?
I got a DJI osmo pocket 3. If you watch my 2 most recent videos, they were shot with that camera
@@johnnyoutwest cool! I will!
Nice views and music I felt at home in a wild place.
Thanks so much

Really appreciate that. I just picked up a new camera with a built-in gimbal, so stability issues should be a thing of the past from here on out.
@@johnnyoutwest nice!

How many feet above sea level are you? Great boots on the ground.
Thanks so much! The Logan Canyon rises to about 7,800 ft above sea level.

At 8:00 looks like you are holding a tool of some type. Possibly the end of a man-made hatchet/ax.
There are no caves in this video. Barely an alcove. A cave is generally defined as a hollow structure in rock deep enough that no light can be seen from outside.
It is literally called a cave. I didn’t name it. Good talk brother
not a cave
