It makes you wonder who stayed in these caves and for how long? Were they traveling hunters using them as a blind for mountain goats or just temporary shelter? I doubt many women would want to stay very long...
I truly enjoy watching your videos. You show such a deep respect where you travel too. Tourist could learn a lot from you. You leave these wonderful sites without destroying defacing or leaving trash. You show us true appreciation for exploring. Thank you for taking the time to take us with you on your adventures. Be safe. God Bless you
I think you are right, Teresa. I hate to say "it was the pothunters" because we just don't know, but I'm sure it was a combination of pothunters and people way before them
It does look like it’s been ravaged by evil pot hunters, but it also looks like it may have been attacked by enemies for some of the walls look pulled down. But it’s hard to be sure from a video. Read up on Dr Christy Turners theories about social violence among the P3 cultures (Cowboy Wash site is a good example). Some sites are eerie as all get out.
Pot hunting usually leaves other signs besides fallen walls. As the mud chinking weathers out, there is little to hold the walls together. Mainly just how protected the dwelling is from weather.
Love your adventures. You inspired me to go into my own bush within 10km of my house and there are first nations paintings. Get over here so much to see in Australia.
A few years ago I discovered "In Search of the Old Ones" by David Roberts. I also read a biography of Richard Wetherill. Reading those books sparked a desire to explore and see some of the ruins for myself, but because of my age and circumstances I'll probably never get to do this in person. These videos are the next best thing.
Most likely was alot greener and more game with water sources nearby 500 or more yrs ago. During my hikes in Arizona, I've come across water where I didn't expect it. Sometimes seeping up from the ground at one point and then seeping back into the ground downstream.
Man I wish my knees allowed me the opportunity to do what you do. The sights you see and share with us are amazing friend. Appreciate you. Particularly with how you respect and protect our history.
Thanks, when I lived in Prescott in 87 spending time up in the mountains and down in the desert on jeep trails and hiking around was my favorite thing to do. My legs are no longer up to it so checking this stuff out with you is the best alternative.
You are so lucky to live within travelling distance of these magical, gorgeous places! Your generosity of spirit and adventure really shines through these delightful fillum presentations. Thanks so much for being awesome!
Thank you so much, it's always a spectacular adventure with you! ... I would love to see some of the trees along your walk. Being a bonsai enthusiast . I would love to see old trees... The trunk lines, the negative spacing and the natural padding of foliage, natural deadwood. Its Fun hobby for me to create a 500 year old tree that started with nothing more than a nursery plant. Thanks again always a pleasure watching your adventures.
Out when I explored, before GPS and smart phones, when you had to use a printed map, sometimes I would arrive at the spot only to find a parking lot on the other side.
If the stuff that was said to be happening at Chaco and other large settlements was actually happening, I am not astonished that lots and lots and lots of tiny group settlements are scattered all over the southwest. As a person who has quietly packed and left in the wee hours of the morning, I can totally see myself making a run for it to establish a tiny, trusted community in places that are tough to access.
Another nice dwelling, thanks much. At first, I thought it was a Basketmaker II site. They lived in rock shelters and buried their people in cists made of rock slabs inside the rock shelters. I do wish I still lived in the Southwest but I had to move back east to help my elderly parents. If you ever need an SW archaeologist to consult with on pottery, lithics, sites, or Pueblo culture, let me know. It would be a pleasure to help you out and I couldn’t/wouldn’t charge a cent. MS archaeology from NAU.
Much love & appreciation to you. Always taken us on an adventure to places some of us will never make. Isn't the drone just the greatest?? We get to see things and you stay safe. Ty👏👏
That's a beautiful area! It's almost like many little gardens scattered throughout the sandstone. That would be my choice of an area to walk through! That cave and the remains of the stacked stone walls was very interesting! And that tiny little cactus, clinging to life and happily blooming with just a few roots that have found a foothold in a crack in the rock. Amazing!❤
We watch every episode that you post. :-) We are fans of yours and I tell other people about you too because we like you. So I am watching this video and when you get to footage 5:26 I had to wonder how you got that shot. Is that a drone photo or did you set your camera up on a tripod and hike up there to get that picture?
I'm pretty sure that is video captured by his drone, since it seems to be shot from high above ground. Drones have the ability to hover very still and capture video that looks almost like a still photograph, but you can see the camera moving ever so slightly closer. It is a very cool shot though, I agree.
I love your authentic presentation. I watch every video. I always wonder if you encounter wildlife or critters in your journey. Hoping you will work them into your montage if you do. Just to see what kind of snakes or whatever you run into. Keep up the good work. 🏆
Spending a rainy Saturday binge watching Trek Planner & Desert Drifter 😊 Bad week for knees & back so I am resting and thoroughly enjoying vicariously exploring with you
Just wanted to say thank you! Your videos take me to places I've never been or will ever see, you are living my dream right now and it feels good that someone like you ( a great guy ) who has a huge heart shares these explorations with everyone, if I'm every close to where you are, I'd go in a heartbeat to explore with you! God Bless and Take Care - Be Safe!
Thank you so much as my legs no longer work very well ❤. I’m 74 now and have a chronic disease so no balance! I’m so excited when people post where they have been. Thank you so much for the people who do not deface or take away any signs of previous cultures❣️
Hey Jeff! Another cool one! Thank you. This was just brought to mind, and I wondered if you had any ideas. It seems like petroglyphs and pictographs are almost everywhere in the Southwest. Why do you think there are areas where there are none at all, like your trip here? It seems like perhaps these are more for defense and there really wasn't any time for spiritual pursuits?
Your videos are always a treat. The places you take us are a fascinating look back in time. Have you ever gone on a trek to Pando? That would be something else I'm sure. If you're not familiar with it, Google it. It's in central Utah, near Fish Lake state park.
All these people found the most out of the way, difficult places to make their home. It is actually quite sad, because that means they lived in constant fear of being attacked by other tribes.
Cool place. I could stay up there hiking around all day. There's gotta be caves or something else cool around there somewhere. Great hike. Thx for sharing that.
It is an oddity of dry stone laid walls, there are exceptions, but the norm is one meter wide to have finished walls to each side,Farmers in Maine, Farmers in Ireland, Roman buildings in ancient Britain, Persia, Syria, Aztec, Southeastern Africa, around the globe and dating back thousands of years. , you see the one meter thick stone walls ,, with a rubble core. One of the exceptions is often in the US Southwest. Because of hot climate, a 10 inch thick wall is the best for heating and cooling. 10 inches of adobe or stone is the optimum masonry mass to heat during the day, that can cool off during overnight hours. Thicker,, it cannot quite shed all the heat accumulated during the day.
It is so nice you have the ability to walk, I’m 74 now and am no longer able to walk a good distance any more so I love how you share your videos with us🥰
How those ancient people were able to sleep on those hard rock floors is beyond me. Even with some sort of padding, that's a hard nights sleep. A very hardy people indeed! Thank you for another fun video!!
Definitely someone was living in there. The soot on the ceiling is evident enough. I wonder if there are foot prints in the soil? Thought I saw some glyphs as you were coming up. 😊
Absolutely incredible to think how long ago someone was actually living in that cave. What an epic find
👍
I felt pretty lucky to see it up close! Thanks for watching! 🙂
what kind of shoes do you wear@@TheTrekPlanner
You are trekking for so many of us who are aging out of trekking…and this world. Peace, brother! Thank you, and carryon!

Thank you for doing this for those of us who can’t, but are grateful to watch. ❤❤
I'm always grateful to see your adventures. Beautiful and respectful as always, thank you.
That's so kind of you! Thank you! 🙂
Very entertaining trek capped off with amazing cliff cave ruins! Great cinematography and narration thank you for this adventure.
👍
I was trying some new cinematography things, so glad to here they weren't a total bomb! LOL thanks for watching!

Spellbinding scenery. I love the Southwest. Thanks again for taking us with you!!
👍

I would love to see a video of you guys hiking then camping overnight in that beautiful place.
Yes! A camping video and the stars ✨⭐ night like they saw it. Hope it's possible for you someday.
Camping might come sooner than you think! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and educating us. I always enjoy your videos.
What a great way to spend a little time! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
It looks more like it was destroyed, rather than just fallen down.❤❤❤

Love the blooms of cactus!
Me too!🙀👵🏻😱🖖🏼👽🐲🌵
I love how bright purple their flowers are in the middle of an orange and red landscape!
My goodness the landscape there the typography everything is just absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for taking us along!
Love your adventures. You inspired me to go into my own bush within 10km of my house and there are first nations paintings.
Get over here so much to see in Australia.
Fabulous trek. Amazing the building techniques used in building. Drone flight was great.
Thank you

The Bible of us southwest hikers!🤔❤️
I like when you show where you are going and where you came from. Helps reference things sitting at home, and I see it better. Good stuff brother!
👍 agree!
Beautiful this time of year, when the fresh green stands out in the desert. Very cool hike and thanks for respecting the site.
I hiked this in early May, so it was great to still see lush desert scenery!
You're an excellent drone pilot. The footage and information that you provide is exciting and oftentimes mesmerizing. Thanks for taking me there. ❤
Happy for you that you were able to reach the ruin and photograph it and share with us. Thanks for your fine adventures, finds and scenic treks.
Your doing what I always wanted. I was a young archaeologist thrilled with my finds in MI.
Wow, what a cool find. Great content and footage. Thanks for taking us along. Happy I found your channel.
Beautiful! I also once found this structure with the drone by accident (while looking for some petroglyphs that are in the next canyon though)
I can’t imagine why anyone would want to live there unless it was much different than it is now. Thanks for the adventure, be safe my friend
Water is always a concern but it's very possible a stream or other water source has dried up.
To me it is a dream house and place
Most likely was alot greener and more game with water sources nearby 500 or more yrs ago. During my hikes in Arizona, I've come across water where I didn't expect it. Sometimes seeping up from the ground at one point and then seeping back into the ground downstream.
700 years all the apartments were taken and the elevators at this particular spot Wasn't working.
Beats living under a bridge.
Well, it sure wasn't a gated community!
KEEP ON TREKEN THANK YOU....... 👍👋🙏>>>💚
👍🥾🥾

Amen!
Always! 🙂
Thank you for another great adventure with some awesome canyon views!❤
Desert Plants are so resilient...a little water and the go! I love the panning over the canyon and hearing birds. Nice.
Thank you for a Saturday morning trip love it I enjoy all your videos amazing places you go to an thank you for sharing your adventures ❤
Absolutely one of my favorite channels. Your videos should be on TV!
That really means a lot to me!! I feel so lucky to be one of your favorite channels! Thank you for your support! 🙂
Brilliant, thank you! I live in Scotland and this is so very different from anything we see here!
Man I wish my knees allowed me the opportunity to do what you do. The sights you see and share with us are amazing friend. Appreciate you. Particularly with how you respect and protect our history.
Always look forward to Saturday mornings to go on a virtual hike with you. Beautiful country complete with sacred sites.
Thank you for letting me be part of your Saturdays! 🙂
Thanks, when I lived in Prescott in 87 spending time up in the mountains and down in the desert on jeep trails and hiking around was my favorite thing to do. My legs are no longer up to it so checking this stuff out with you is the best alternative.
This place is so special Jeff. Thanks again for taking us there.
Incredible place❤thx for takeing us there❤️👋🇫🇮
New viewer and just subscribed ur channel. My son Andy shared ur channel.
I was there in early March! That last part of the hike was tough, and steep!
“Top secret structure”! I love it!! Absolutely epic canyon! Gorgeous!
This is beautifully recorded and the editing made me feel as if I am hiking with you. It was a pleasure.
Always leaves me wondering what it looked like back then. Thanks for the video.
You are so lucky to live within travelling distance of these magical, gorgeous places! Your generosity of spirit and adventure really shines through these delightful fillum presentations.
Thanks so much for being awesome!
You have an amazing talent for photography!
Jeff, a BEAUTIFUL video, as always! This area is just so scenic, it was a delight! Love everything about it! Thank you so much!
You just amaze me. So respectful of the ancients. I enjoy your videos.
I love your respect for the land: you rock 💘🪨💘
Wow! I am so grateful for your direct support!! I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure! 🙂

I miss living in Arizona and New Mexico. Thanks for bringing me back mentally to my living out there
Thank you. That was a great adventure. Really makes you wish you could go back in time & see the people living there.

Truly beautiful landscape and that dwelling, wow! I would give my teeth to see it firsthand.
I will never be able to go there myself. Thank you taking us along!!
I always enjoy an outing with you. I really appreciate the drone shots with you in them because it shows the scale.
Beautiful. I envy the people who were able to live there. Must have been a great life❤❤It is so ingenious how they cordoned off areas. ❤❤
"...I couldn't help myself..." 😅 Another enjoyable and interesting armchair travel for me. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your adventures. I look forward to each and every episode.
Thanks for taking an old guy with you even though i cant do it my self any more ==========
Another beautiful trek my friend,thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much, Scott!
I love how you are so respectful to not disturb time. Praying for your safety. Seem like a nice young man!😊👍👋 Keep the videos coming!🙋♀️❤

Great adventure today, I really enjoyed it. Thank you for hiking up to this cool place and sharing it with us all! Until next time, be safe out there
Thank you for your adventures and taking us along. As a senior I’m very impressed by all you do. Be safe and continue with your life adventures. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Another really cool Trek. Odd question but…what brand of hiking shoes are you wearing? I am looking for a new pair.
Thanks, Jeff. ❤

Great channel, great content! The friendly, welcoming vibe is really nice. Very generous of you to bring us along☆
Every time I watch you walk up to a cave I'm worried about there being a cougar or bobcat inside.
...and snakes. Lots of places for snakes to hide among the rocks and brush.

this is my saturday morning cartoons LOL LOVE this content
How those ancient people were able to sleep on those hard rock floors is beyond me. Even with some sort of padding, that's a hard nights sleep. A very hardy people indeed! Thank you for another fun video!!
I know where that is. Did not hike up to it though. I was looking for a petroglyph panel near by.
Hi I have just joined your channel, enjoy your adventures, take care, Chris, uk
