I'm so grateful for your Treks. I'm past the age for trekking, but still have a fascination for ancient history. You might want to introduce your channel to some of the local community college profs teaching native history or pre-usa history and geology. Some of them might want to partner with you with great suggestions of places to go. Others may want to use your videos in their classes. I also really appreciate the way you honor the site by not taking artifacts or disturbing the areas. Keep on Trekking!
I bet this young man has been to places these schooled archeologists haven't
feel the exact same way use to take trips with the dogs to explore effigies all over the mid west
Good idea but with promises of not disclosing the locations to the general public.
Many classrooms do review your valuable videos. You respect your surroundings and survey properly. Good man.
*@**10:35** horizontal rock in center almost appears to have some sort of alphabet or symbols carved in it.*
*@**8:42** the largest vertical stone in that wall almost looks like a door covering a cache.*
*@**7:51** Green stain on mid-right may be a degraded copper tool?*
*@**7:30** Potential insurance sponsor on upper left* 😀
I'm chronically ill, and this is the total reason i love your videos! I would be out there exploring my own Google earth discoveries if I could. Thanks for your mention, I didn't think many others would have the same motivations. You're getting out there for all of us!
I pray that you recover completely, in Jesus name, Amen.
Stay strong
This video is a bad mafaka.
That means so much to me! Thank you!
Bingo!
Excellent channel. You're such a nice considerate and respectful explorer. I love when you do a panaramic view. It helps to get a feeling of the size and location and beauty of the area. It would also be neat to see the plants and shrubs in those areas. Thank you for your beautiful videos.
The pottery you see can be dated to Pueblo I to 4. It is possible in some cases to pin down the dates from the sherds found. Some of your sites may have been used for hundreds of years, hence having pottery from different eras. The pottery is often quite distinctive for particular eras so it should be possible to be more accurate about dates. As for the site, it looks to me as if it may have been designed with defense in mind also buildings sited on top of prominent features, hills, bluffs may have been communal or sacred or refuges like the keeps of ancient castles in Europe.
At 5:22 the pictograph of the horse, if it was not made by ranchers. That would mean that the site was 😮 after the 1500s when the Spanish introduced horses to the West..
It does make you wonder how old the site was and for how many hundreds of years it was inhabited.
Again, *"SHARDS"*, not sherds. It may be spelled with an "e", but it's pronounced SHARD.
www.nps.gov/teachers/classrooms/pottery-of-the-ancestral-pueblo.htm
Thank you for your insight!
It is definitely pronounced SHERD. Shard is a different word. Should look it up!
I really appreciate your respect for these places and artifacts. Thanks for taking us along!😎👍🏼
❤👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰
I'm 65 and not in any shape to be exploring, but I love it. Thank you so much for taking us on these adventures. Your channel has been my favorite ever since I discovered it. Bless you. ❤
MANY MANY THANK YOUS!! For having such deep respect for ancient relatives! I love your platform and enjoy how stress-free all your videos are! And I also am very please with how you do not share the locations of many of the areas you visited! Plenty times we took noticed to the places you filmed and we knew exactly where you were, I'm grateful that u have a caring nature!! Again, thank u for not trampling on our relatives "homes" and for not touching what belongs to them!
One day it be neat to take yall into the mountains near this place and show you several sites that have remained hidden on my late gramas homestead
I would so love to tag along into the mountains and experience your grandmas homestead! Would be amazing! Thank you for your comment!
I was a flagger in northwest Colorado in the early 90s, and there were pot sherds in every shovel full of that road. There were intact hill forts and still functioning water channels. Thank you for the respect you show these ancient places. We always felt awe and wonder that the ancient Ancestral Pueblans thrived in such a desolate landscape. We also left them as we found them. Many do not.
I also am of an age when I can no longer scramble over rocks in the wilderness. But I miss it and your videos are next best. So thank you for taking all of us on the adventures with you. I feel like I have been out and about. Arizona looks like where you go so I’m sure there are many places around me just waiting to be explored. Thank you for the wonderful moments
Hi Jeff! Have any archeologists ever reached out to you? I think those people deserve the greatest respect. I appreciate your attentiveness and reverence for these sites. Great attitude and great video work brother:)
I wonder that too, he is doing tons of scouting that would be useful to anyone looking for archaeology fieldwork locations.
I would find that unlikely, but remain hopeful.
Academia does not like to mingle with amatuers. He may be told to stay home & stop pretending.
I think Jeff deserves the respect! Educating & entertaing the masses with no pretense or arrogance.
Of course anyone can watch these great video's & enjoy with the rest of us.
I wish they were a bit longer!
Hi Ellie! Thanks for your comment! A few archaeologists have reached out to me. I would love to get their expert opinion (or even just thoughts) from them. From the conversations I've had in the past, I have been told that the vast majority of these sites are known to the BLM, Forest Service, National Park Service, Universities or other gov agencies. But, most have not been excavated, nor do they want them to be excavated. Also that they do not share locations, so they are known to some archaeological groups, but not to the public of course. I have read where the descendants of these people do not want people to dig in them either. So basically, most of these sites are at least documented to their location and basic features, many years ago, before drones and 4K video.
Many of these places have already been looted, which is very tragic. I believe this site has been looted many times over
@@TheTrekPlannerthank you for responding jeff!!! That's great info to know. I'm pretty happy that these sites will remain as they are, left to the elements as the ancestors intended. Your the best! Good luck on your next adventure:)
I think you're discovering more stuff about the scope & nature of ancient existence than anyone one else on TH-cam... Yes, I can't do the hiking like many watching, but to me it's more, like the novelty, adventure and insight you bring... Thank you for sharing !
Or anyone else. Lol.
I love your boundless enthusiasm for exploration and your respect for the people who inhabited the places originally. Each discovery shows what could have been, and most probably how much the sites have been destroyed by nature and humans over hundreds of years. People who followed the builders had little reason to be as respectful as you are today. Thank you for your curiosity and desire to share it.
And yes! You DO walk for me!! I broke my back and cannot wander and hike like I loved to do. I'm doing amazing but I don't have the coordination I had to trek across uneven terrain. I'm working on it.
But for now I'm walking with you. ❤ Thank you
I broke my back in 1982, when I was 22, and had fusion surgery with 2 pins in my back several months later. It wasn't easy, but with a lot of hard work, I was able to get back to training and competing on horses, which was my livelihood. Hopefully, this can give you a little bit of hope for the future. Don't give up, it took almost a year! God bless you!
@@unrulyjulie4382 thank you. I'm 69 next week and proud as punch of how well I'm doing! Thank you for the encouragement I know even with the osteoporosis I am coming back stronger !!💖
@@mari-kt1kb... What a great attitude you have! I always thought that I probably was stronger afterwards, because I never would have worked so hard on my physical abilities if I hadn't hurt my back.
Watching you is a way of taking a trip. I love it when you say "so come with me, let's go explore" 😊
me too
You definitely motivate me and I’m sure a lot of others want to get out in nature and explore what time has forgotten ! Keep up the hard work dude !
Thank you for recognizing us who can not. get out anymore. I appreciate you and the way you are not divulging to much information on where your sites are located. Keep up the great work 👍.
75 years old now, but when I was your age. In California, gold country. I used to hike and explore just like you. I found native American caves they used. Also man made caves that were homes made by gold miners. Hiking and finding things like what I found and better, yet what you find is exciting and stuck in our memories forever. Someday you will look back and remember the best of it all. Cool huh.
I was so impressed to see you return every small discovery you made to the place you found it. That shows an abiding respect for history and a commitment to preserve it.
These presentations really help to give a perspective on the extent of the civilization that was once steward of the area. The Book of Hopi gives a very good general historical reference to these people. They came out of Yucatan after the YDB impact, had it good and undisturbed for many thousands of years until violent foreign invaders from Asia, then Europe, began settling the area. Much of the petroglyph symbolism is interpreted in the book.
I'm confined to a wheelchair and envious of your ability to hike to places I dreamed of visiting after my one trip to the area you explore. My envy, though, is outweighed by my appreciation for what you do and the places you take me. Please keep up the good work. I'll be with you at every step.
I love watching your videos, very interesting...i want to commend you for always being very respectful of the artifacts or other remnants you come upon...I'm a full -blooded native american from the areas you explore so often...some of ghe sites you show are very sacred so thank you for always showing respect, you might offer & leave some tobacco to the ancient ones privately....thank you always for sharing your awesome videos..🙏💕❤️💞
Pretty epic find! Awesome respect for history. Thanks for taking us with you!
Those circular depressions are kivas. The pottery seems very advanced, so I don't think their owners would be living in pithouses. In a book about the Ancestral Pueblo, I read that it was believed that many of the sites far outside Chaco Canyon were still within sight of the outlying pueblos of Chaco Canyon and they could communicate through smoke signals during the day or fires at night. High ground was used for these signalling places. If that were the case, you would think there would be some blackening or vestigial charring left. Another feature the book claimed was that there were paths from Chaco Canyon to far-off sites. These paths did not conform to terrain features but were remarkably straight, going straight up and straight down hills in the way of the path. This also suggests the paths were constructed in a line of sight. Of course, in the "endtimes" of the Ancestral Pueblo, the sites became much more dispersed and defensive in nature. Their occupants were probably not interested in revealing their locations.
I love how you never take the artifacts. You're such a blessing
Awesome treks!!! I enjoy your treks , you're a very enjoyable person, well natured, not all intense, witha passion for your finds . These attributes are what makes your channel #1 for me watching.😊
I get together every Sunday with my 93 yo mom and we watch your videos. It's a way for her to get out and see the world with you. She also thinks you are adorable.
Thank you so much! I'd love to meet you and your Mom one day!
@@TheTrekPlanner I just showed my mom your comment. She blew kisses in your direction. It made her feel special. Thank you!
Knowing how vital water is to human life I wondered if there was a source near by I did notice at one point when you were flying your drone there was a long line of trees in the background. Could they be growing along a stream? I wonder if drought might have something to do with their story. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, Jeff. Wish we knew where you visit these places.❤
two words: High Desert.
@@allenschmitz9644 Climate was wetter in this time period
I noticed the green valley below too. Maybe he doesn't want to draw attention to it because it has a name and known location. In this day, people have no respect to leave anything undisturbed. Saw a news article yesterday about "entitled" tourists ignoring "off-limits" signage clearly stating "re-vegetation" projects in National Parks, etc.
Simply marvelous large discovery of ruins! How delightful to be taken along. I love the pottery shards. Such intriguing “modern” appearing geometric designs. Such talented and visionary potters.
To all those homebound - best wishes to get better or at least have an escape. I wanted to mention checking out "The Wandering Woodsman" - he is mainly in Eastern PA but just goes out to explore places and has the same laid back calming vibe you see here. Stay well all
Yes, I do watch him for the same reasons I watch you - love the history and exploration
Thank you for the tip
At 1:48 you can see what looks like a scraper tool or maybe a blade of some sort bottom right next to the piece of pottery. Amazing location and great work as always
There is a Navajo elder on a TH-cam channel called Navajo Traditional Teachings who says many of the pottery shards that people find are Anasazi and he said the Cliff Dwellers and Pueblo peoples along with the Navajo disliked the Anasazi for owning slaves and so when they left and went back to Mexico ALL their possessions were destroyed including their pottery. You may want to check him out for his history of the Southwest for it was passed down to him by word of mouth from previous generations of elders! Outstanding job you're doing and aids me on native American history of the area. Thanks!
This is quite an active civilization. Wow Jeff. Excellent find. Amazingly covered in pottery. Thanks again. You’re doing an important service not only to the ancients but to people now. I hope you’re inspiring new archaeologists too. So so cool.
Have you ever found pottery that was fully intact or 1/2 or even a fourth? Love your vids! We were in Lake Powell and unfortunately our boat broke down, so we didn't get to see any ruins.
Hi- thanks again so much for your respectful treks- and in this time of soooo many very rude people getting screen time, its such a relief to see someone so genuinely respectful, joyful in what they are doing and being a down to earth human being! 😊
Many of the “buildings” you find probably had more than one use-but hunting was probably a constant need for hunting . I can just imagine how someone so long ago would dit snd look out over the expanse below them
One of the best channels on TH-cam! Love the content. Keep em coming!
Your videos and others are way better than any TV shows.
Maybe for fun you could ask for a grad student to join you--not all of the time--to give some details, or you could be online with one who could discuss what you are seeing in person. That might be an interesting variation in the show. I truly like your show because you are so nice and personable; you engage with the viewer well. You are our eyes on the ground you are walking through as you look at the ancient remains of pastoral life in the southwest. You will do well and are doing well because you are just you. Thanks for your sincerity.
An archeologist could tell you who made the pottery and time period. Have you ever asked? Very interesting find for sure.
bring a little notepad and pencil to make a drawing of the pottery shards
you find. Maybe look up the different patterns. For a who when reference.
I want to thank you for showing the pottery and leave it where it was found. Thank you for the respect you show for history.
Here in rural northwest Nevada, I know of a couple of middle-of-nowhere rock walls, one I've seen up close and personal and the other, only on Google Maps. Maybe I'll have to go back up to the one I've seen before and take a closer look, and maybe visit the other.
We do have petroglyphs, tipi rings, arrowheads and more, all over this area. My great-grandfather had ammo boxes filled with pieces of arrowheads he'd collected over the years.
Keep up the great work. I'm enjoying your videos more and more.
Again I love your work, I could compile tons of information. The shards of clay can show you the person's tribal relationships. The designs often were passed along to family n friends. As they move the break what they don't carry to stop from giving their enemies stuff. I love your " home or shelter example drawings. Great Job, I'm interested in the landscape, common water, hunting and plants. Artifacts to land indentations can show you so much did they keep horses or only saw them. Love it's educational flow it looks like a hunting perch
Wrong: they inhereted a 'clumsy' gene and most pots ended up broken.
This is truly a new form of archaeology. Previous generations relied on ancient maps and scoured books looking for the clues that would lead them to the location where they might find artifacts.
Only in movies do archaeologists rely on ancient maps .. lol I walked threw so many fields looking for pottery shards in the plow lines or test pits because a new road wants to be built. But yea drone technology, satellites and lidar has all been ground breaking new technology that has helped discover so much.
In the arctic, I have found many undocumented Thule people single tent rings, most often located on the top of knolls and hills, likely as look outs for game across large lower elevation surrounding areas. Larger groupings of tent rings were located in the lee of hills or escarpments, likely sheltered from prevailing winds.
Let’s go, let’s go treasure and adventure ✌️🌺💕👵
It would be interesting for you to begin mapping (with gps coordinates) all of the sites you find and creating a landscape usage map for the area. You could describe the structures you find, the artifact types, densities, etc. Even some general hand drawn maps of the sites and the related topography on which they sit. You don't have to be an "archeologist" to do these activities especially since you already appear to be very cognizant of maintaining site & artifact integrity. You might even find that very many of these sites have already been recorded with the states in which they reside.
I too am unable to trek anymore so your channel allows me to continue exploring this wonderful planet and learn new things.
Hey Jeff! My wife and I love watching your videos and the awesome things you find! I'm a geology student at SUU, in Cedar City, and would love the chance to go out with you sometime if you would let us join you! Thanks for the great content and great archeological history!
You are an amazing young man. My friend and I have been friends for 57 years. We were separated at High School due to me getting drafted. We found each other via Facebook. I almost immediately flew to Arizona. Where we started exploring the Canyons and Mountains like when we were kids. We both watch you all the time. We were separated for 49 years.
Just recently found your channel and have been greatly enjoying your videos. Such great finds!
Glad you like them! Thanks for your comment! :-)
What a great way to start a day!!
You're a hero Jeff!
Awesome attitude and compassion from you! Your videos are great adventures that you share with us. Thank you for sharing the journey with us, friend!
10:20 🤔💭What remains of a giant's footprint? 😏
Love to hear the sound of the wind in your videos! That YOU ARE THERE quality feels fantastic! :D
I’m 71 and I use to hike the Kalalau trail on Kauai, we have ancient farming grounds in valleys only accessible by hiking only. Great job in protecting sites. Keep up the great job. So interesting.
Hi Jeff, I watch because, as an eastern woodland guy, it's fascinating that people settled down in such a harsh environment. This site required a huge amount of labor to construct, definitely a long term campsite/town, maybe seasonal. Some of the nooks look like granaries and those high lookouts would be great spots to pray to the night sky. Have you looked for garden spots down below? There had to be water somewhere and the need to cart it could explain all the pottery. Inspiring find! Thanks for sharing.
.
Absolutely amazing thank you. I also watch Storiesbyalex and I’m really impressed by the respect you both show.
I’m new to your channel and really enjoy watching👍 however…I would appreciate them more if you offered more insight to the history of the area🤷🏻♀️ im not in America…im guessing you’re in Utah…no one needs to know the exact location…but some pre research and offering historical background would be useful…you ask for suggestions and comments but without knowing any background on the area it’s kind of pointless asking for feedback🤷🏻♀️ keep up the great adventuring, but do consider doing more research and offering it for viewer clarity👍
Wonderful video. The markings on the pottery sherds look very much like traditional Hopi and Navajo designs. I'm not sure where you are, but if it's in the desert SW,, that would fit. Also, I think you're right about the pit houses.
I'm yet another older person watching your channel and adventuring with you vicariously. I'm so glad your channel popped into my feed. Please keep up your work exploring the south west, seems like you're ghosted by lots of senior folks walking with you in spirit :)
Thank you for appreciating me for enjoying your adventures. It's great to adventure with you 😄
Far out 🎉 Im 67 but ok. Went for a walk to check myself out: good to go ~ around my neighborhood 😅 lol. Thanks ❤ Trek Planner
You are welcome for my motivation in getting out. I am one of those who you mentioned of being handicapped. My handicaps are from 26 years in law enforcement and getting injured. What I said that I really enjoy watching your videos because I cannot even walk my dog so again, thanks for your postings.
Thanks so much for taking me along. 79 y/o Gramma Candy. I used to explore a lot, I had to quit when I was nearly 70.
Love your content, And seeing the past history. 👍🇺🇲
Thank You, for spending so much time, checking out these ruins. I enjoy Your efforts. Great job !!
If you do do the guest "expert," don't ask a professor. They don't need any publicity and will hog the show. A beginner/first year grad student would be a spice once in a while, if you like this idea.
Great adventure! Many more! Keep the location details to yourself, it earns respect and it gives respect. I can imagine that this site has not been documented until your visit. What you could possibly share is links to where you learn about ancient history and documented sites that people are invited to visit. Go there and show us. Native Americans have a rich history. They came from somewhere too. Do you have a favorite explorer? Lets go where he went. Best of luck.
Thanks very much for another amazing video! So inspirational and educational for all of us!
Brandon
Thank you for acknowledging the home bound. I have been taking care of my wife for 4 years and getting out to explore here in Arizona is infrequent at best.
Enjoy your content immensely!
I'm one of those bedridden people you mentioned at the start. Thanks for "taking me out" to the wilderness. Appreciate you!
While I won't completely discount the possibility of those little ledge spaces being used for hunting or other such practicalities. What it made me think of was my childhood growing up in the middle of nowhere; my friends and I would spend our days out in the woods and down at the creek building small forts and dams all over the place. And that little ledge nook was exactly the kind of thing we would make if we were there, heh.
We as adults often overlook the resourcefulness and ingenuity of kids at play and the lengths they will go to entertain themselves. You can't have a settlement without kids to keep it going, and those kids will be finding ways to occupy their time while growing up, so I would expect them to mimic the behaviors of the adults around them and build small structures of their own to claim spaces for themselves.
Always wanted to do what you do! Never could!😢 so keep on enjoying your life!😂❤
Appreciate your videos, I am past my days of trekking I loved hiking back in the day and love living it again through ypu.
"So who could be responsible for these?"
Just once I want to hear you say "it's the Mole People".
That so funny that other people discovered you when sick. I was exhausted from chemo last year and accidently ran across your site. You make me want to move out there and explore. I back up and moving around increasing my miles so I can at least visit the 4 corners.
Wow Jeff, you are so dedicated to travel long distances to bring us these incredible views. Always so interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Another great video Jeff! and a great ancient ruin! I know this won't be popular, but I would suggest, that the boulders you climbed, to get up that hill, were possibly part of the structure. Your drone footage is always the best. Keep on trekin!!
Funny you brought up being home bound. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of months and love them. I’m currently recovering from a hernia operation and wishing I could be out doing what you’re doing. Keep up the exploring and just being a good guy!
Nice video as always,greetings from The Netherlands🌻
Looked like reservation land to me, but yeah those high places is where some made fortifications, and would use as signaling posts to start fires
Pithouses. Too bad there weren't any complete bowls to see the designs. The cowboys would have taken those.
That was fun. Always enjoy you and your adventures. I'm one of them homebound ones. But i remember the days when i tramped the hills of AZ., NV., and NM. Thaks again!
Those people must have been so strong in all sorts of ways that we don't even think of. Respect.
I think there was a grinding spot on top of the rock at 5:55. Near perfect circular depression, almost like a mortar.
Thank you! Others have stated that this is the best channel on TH-cam...I agree! You have such grace and reverence...and you treat our precious locations with the utmost respect...I look forward to watching you reach one zillion followers.
The pottery is exciting. Would be great to have a paleontologist review it.
It's probably been asked, but I just never saw it. When you find these various sites, do you let local university archeology departments know about the finds?
And I love the videos!
Do you happen to have any examples of what this could of looked like in its day? Would love to see something even if just a hand drawing of what it could of been like back then.
Flat spots like you found around 3:10 surrounded by rocks are usually signs where hide tents were put up and then weighted around the edge by stones, at least out here in SE Arizona; I can't begin to count how many times I've run across those, and sometimes they were pretty sizeable. (Could also be from a wikiup or similar, I guess, though in desert areas you're lacking the brush and trees to make very many at once.) The majority I've seen tended to run only 10 or 12 feet across at the most, though, and I sure saw smaller-- maybe for storage? I don't know. I *do* know that some cultures used the poles as kind of a travois for carrying things as they moved, with the hide coverings bundled on top; I don't know enough to know how long the tribes who used these stayed in one area-- was it seasonal, for water or hunting or wild foods or what? Probably; they knew to move with what was available-- primitive doesn't mean stupid. Anyway, just a thought. Love your videos! I hike out to petroglyph locations myself, though I don't post videos, and I've seen so many traces of old habitations and old roads. Firepits fascinate me, because people reuse them-- they don't care how old they were, they just do, and that ring of stones may have been laid down thousands of years ago and you'd never know. It's there, it gets used... and somebody once may have been cracking open and roasting mammoth bones to get the marrow on that firepit; you don't know. They could have; firepits don't change.
So you think they were hunting Mammoths? The potsherds are Pueblo these are dated to max 1000 years ago…let alone the absence of food for mammoths
@@naradaian They said that ancient fire rings are fascinating. They didn't specify what part of the world, so they could be talking about Siberia. Early humanoids there definitely gnawed some mammoth bones over 4000 years ago.
Hi Jeff, I'm always happy to watch your treks, with the multiple views from Google, drone and ground. Adds a whole new perspective with the different views.
I still work, but travel is difficult these days with chronic illnesses. So, I love traveling along with your adventures. Thank you!!
I enjoy your adventures to the ruins. I like that you show the designs on the pottery too. I have been to the southwest and love the country.
Greetings from Watertown, Wisconsin. My husband and I moved here in 2014, after living in The Las Vegas , NV valley for 20+ years. Almost every weekend we would like you go exploring out in the desert, We we’re avid rock hounds that took us all over Nevada, Arizona, Utah, California, and Colorado. We frequently came upon areas such as these! We loved always taking those lonely roads and following them to see what was around the next corner. Unfortunately here in Wisconsin there doesn’t seem to be areas such as these, I know that different Indian tribes flourished here but to actually see the bare land like this is next to impossible, because of the vegetation everywhere. Thank you for being our hands and feet, and bringing back a lot of fun and happy memories.
Also next to impossible to explore east of Rockies because all the land is privatized with no trespassing.
Thx for your vids.. salute everyone that’s homebound due to whatever.. everyone stay strong 🫶
Amazing channel! Great to get to see this old american sight, something we don't get too see or learn too mutch about owere here in sweden
Why do we not have a Time Team for our amazing sites. The history is there and we could learn so much. I'm so sorry our culture does not place a higher priority on preserving and learning from our ancestors. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing place. You're a treasure. Keep it up ❤
Wow that means a lot to me, thank you!!
I'm in the UK and American/Canadian tourists are fascinated by the castles, old parts etc. I don't think people in the US are not interested, but perhaps they just aren't made aware of the history under their noses? Maybe a function of education? I don't know.
@@SteveDonaldson-r5k Probably a mix of everything you mentioned. Growing up, we are taught that the Native Americans were here and they lived and moved around and not much more than that. I feel bad that we didn't spend much time on their stories, histories, and more. I would have loved to even see pictures of rock art and ruins in elementary school, but we didn't.
@@TheTrekPlanner Well, you're doing good work then. More power to your elbow.
Wow, amazing place. I bet those ruins on the cliffs were look outs , such a large place. All those loose rocks must have belonged to buildings or structures at some point. Just amazing to see, thank you ❤❤❤❤
I’m a wheelchair user, and I love going on these treks with you!
Thanks for taking us along. Looks like fun, all that you do.
It's known that the early native Americans would set up a blind on top of a ridge for the purpose of trapping, or snagging, birds. They would somehow attract a bird and then capture it.
I am one of those you spoke of. I can't get out so TH-cam is my escape. Your adventures are awesome. Good health to you and your family. Keep on exploring Jeff. Thank you for sharing with us! 🙏🏼
