- You'll never guess what I found in these mountains!
Easiest description I'll ever write; This trip was fun. The location is a secret. If you want to know what I found, you'll have to watch.

A hike to a swing set in the wilderness will be remembered long after thousands of workdays in a cubicle have been forgotten.
Very, very true.
It is okay to be childlike....and that's what this was. It was beautiful. I think it is wonderful when grownups can be childlike in their amazement at the grandeur of nature some of us can't get to anymore. We get to be childlike with you. Keep going while you can. God bless you and keep you.
I approve of this video ! Blue skies, green mountains, clean air and playground equipment are the proper ingredients for gratitude.
I thought I would feel like an idiot. But I had a blast. Worth it.
Unexpected indeed. Your videos are getting better and better. Nice editing.
Thanks, man!
Awesome, a great video with a great message. Thanks for taking us along on the trip.
I'm 57 and I love playing on the swings.
Surprising how they're just as much fun as they were when we were kids.
Very nice... different angles of filming, good editing made it more interesting 👍
I had a smile in my face at the end, enjoyed it 👏👏
Awesome. That was the whole point. Utterly ridiculous, but so much fun.
Love those drone shots. I think those take some dedication. Maybe not as hiking back to get the camera. But I saw some of that in this video too. Great work on the anticipation. Sunset was beautiful. I half wish you got the sunset at the swingset.
DEFINITELY wished I'd gotten the sunset, but solo and in unfamiliar territory, I couldn't risk it. But now that I know where it is.....Still won't beat those sunsets off the Washington coast.
This made me smile - I love swinging on a swing set!
Smiles were the goal with this video.
Awesome reveal!! I just genuinely laughed quite early this morning at this. Great way to wake up. Haha! "I hiked two miles.... ...just to get to a swing set in the middle of nowhere." Kudos for that find, hike and hell... whoever had the idea to haul all those pieces up there to THAT spot! That's awesome.
I guess it was for the miners' kids. Best swingset views ever.
Love your I B Tat morning coffee......!!!!!!
Outstanding
well, I wasn't expecting that!! very cool, GREAT drone shots!!!!! thank you!
Man you changed the pace up with this one and it really worked man. The extra time lapse shots and solo camping vibe really showed through. And great job on the Voiceovers...I freaking hate doing voiceovers! Great fun video..and encouraging as well
Voiceovers are the bane of my existence. This was probably 6~8 sentences, and it still took me probably 10 takes. I record them sitting on the floor in the closet, talking into the clothes to muffle the reverb. Feel like an idiot, but it works.
Ha! You’re right, I never would’ve guessed! That’s awesome!
It was absolutely worth the hike. Enjoyed it way more than I thought I would have.
Awesome! That is so cool, thanks for sharing!
Love it. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the fun little getaway.
It was a blast. So worth it.
That needs to be on my bucket list !!
Looks like bloody basin up to the Bradshaws ?
I’m sure Tina would say it’s Amazing!!
Love the Jerry solo adventures !!
Not Bloody Basin. If you have a 4WD, it's not a bad hike at all. I won't give away details, but if you search online, you can probably figure it out.
That was awesome!
you were like a kid again. fantastic! love it!
Now that's a cool destination!
It is. So unique. And fun.
My bet was on crashed airplane but swingset in the middle of nowhere is pretty cool too.
Still have to find that crash site on Humphreys. We did find the plane on Baldy though. Not as much fun as this.
This was just what I needed to see today. Great video!! 🙌
Love it!
So Fun! I remember when I was in therapy swing sets and bubbles were so healing! Jerry I could feel the wind 💨 you reminded me I need to do that shit more!!
I forgot how much fun they are. Never been on one with this view though.
Sweet !
How fun! Well worth it I think 😁
I was afraid it was going to be something terrible.
Nice video. Good use of the drone, and nice editing. You can tell that area has seen it's share of wild fires.
So fun!!
I think you hiked to this: Come experience the sport Mecca of the Mazatzals, the Swing-Set Mine. Actually it is an abandoned mine site that, my guess, a family once mined. The forest service has been cleaning up various sites, so come and see it before it is gone. We’ll hike in about 5 miles on an old Forest Service road that is no longer maintained.
Sounds about right. I hope they don't get rid of it.
wow that was cool sometimes you just need to a kid. thanks for sharing. Stay safe and happy holidays
That was so awesome!
Dude, you simply ROCK! Thanks so much for your wonderful videos. Fridays have been unofficial Jerry Arizona nights…… oh, and Tina Arizona nights too. Just watched Ouray and the canyoneering by Page. Wow-great stuff
There we go, very much worth the hike. Love this ❤️
LOVE IT!!!
My favorite road sign: "Pavement Ends".
Same!
That’s pretty awesome landscape you got there!
This made me happy!! Amazing! Loved it!!!
That is the exact reaction I was hoping for!
Love this.
We don't indulge our inner child enough as "responsible adults". Good fun. And I must say I had a good guffaw when I saw the giant tent and air mattress. But hey, that's what car camping is all about! Indulge me!
I even got to take my REAL pillow from my bed for this trip. I love backpacking. But I also enjoy the comfort of car camping, for sure.
@@JerryArizona Yessss. Always bring your comfy pillow when you can. Lovin' it! :)
I am so glad to see that it's still there. Could use a drop or two of oil.
It could use a little TLC, but it's in surprisingly good shape for as old as it is.
That's so cool! Worth the trip I'm guessing 😊
Absolutely worth it.
Unpredictable discoveries ☺️
You have the gift Jerry!! Timmy C Arizona
Totally cool.
Next month I'll be 69! How the heck did that happen, anyway? I still remember swinging on the swings in the park when I was about 6. Well, I've always loved it and I love this video! It's a keeper for sure Jerry. Thanks for making it. I may not ever get to swing on that particular swing set but it was far out seeing you do it, dude! :)
It sneaks up on you, doesn't it?
That music from 3:30 to 4:42 made me feel some feels. Nice work here Jerry
Glad you liked it. Definitely been going for a mellower vibe lately. I think it's more fitting.
Now that is funny!
Lol, I would never have guessed it in a million years!
I seriously had to convince myself to hike that far for this. So worth it.
@@JerryArizona thanks for sharing!
Awesome.
It was definitely waaaaay more fun than I thought it would be.
It’s kinda funny how quickly I recognized forest road 201. I’ve gone there multiple times with my dad. Maybe I’ll check this out with him sometime in the future.
At 1:05, you can see a road that peels off to the left. That road is FR-201A, and it eventually meets back with FR-201 further up. I actually hiked about 3 miles of it with my dad from the north end. It travels along a ridge between the two forks of Sycamore Creek, and it has some of the best views of that stretch of the Mazatzals, especially of Saddle Mountain and Mount Peeley
Appreciate the tip. I'll have to check that out.
Connecting more and more with your videos because I do the same type of explorations.Sometimes I question if is it normal? But your video gave me motivation and support...Thanks Jerry...Keep posting that which you love doing....
Hahaha!! Love your video. Life's short. Go find that swing!!
Right? Thought I'd feel stupid...But I loved every minute.
Trips like that? Makes us all want to go out and find a swing! 😊👍
Awesome! I am jealous!
Go find it!
A swing, monkey bars, teeter totter. The ultimate play ground!
I guess it was for the miner's kids. Best swingset ever.
Love it!!!o
Worth the trip, fun❤❤❤❤
This was a really fun (if ridiculous) destination.
Wow! Cool! And worth it!
100% worth it.
For the last couple weeks, TH-cam has been suggesting old plan crash site videos to me so I totally thought this was going to be you hiking to a plane wreck. Very glad to be wrong! Awesome! :)
Glad it surprised you. Speaking of plane crashes, I need to find that one on Humphreys one of these days.
Yee-Haa!! A wonderful place, with a beautiful view to go be a kid again. Thanks Jerry! That was fun:-)
That was so random! Lol 😂
Extremely random! That's why I had to do it.
Whoa! about a 33% subscriber jump from last time I looked. I told you it was going to happen.
You were right! I love hiking and making the videos, but I have to admit, it's nice when people actually watch them.
This had my inner child smiling from ear to ear😁
Well played Sir👍
This was such a stupid trip, but still one I look back at and smile. Good times.
like before see the video - it must be great : )
It's absolutely ridiculous. But so worth it.
A good one, Jerry
Coming out swinging with this one jerry!
Ha! Literally.
We may grow up but we still like to play and you have a new subscriber.
Happy Thanksgiving Jerry and Tina !!
Same to you....a little late, but hope you have a good holiday.
No kidding? HAHAHHAHHAA Great reveal!
Looks like the hills around Bisbee. I'm guessing it is not.
Nope, not Bisbee.
Hehe yesss!! Life is too short. I'm going to figure out where this is 😀
It’s a cool spot. Short hike and a decent road to it. I guess it’s an old miners’ homestead and the swing set was for their kids. A quick google search should bring it up for you.
This has got to be the dumbest yet coolest thing ever!!!!!!!! Glad you decided to go and share with us!!!!!!
That's basically what I told Tina when I was planning this. Doesn't matter how old you are, you get on a swing, you're a kid again.
Nice! My GF had been out there twice and I still need to go.
Man, you definitely need to. I swung on that thing until I thought I would throw up. Laughed the whole time.
Very nice. Your videos never disappoint.
Why don't I ever find anything this cool when I go out?
I can't even remember how I heard about this place. I've got a very small list of interesting things like this to go find.
@@JerryArizona Ha! Let me know if you need any help finding them!
You're an odd dude...love it! How you like the pop up tent? We have a Coleman, like it, no vestibule, that sucks...the best part of your videos (okay, the second best...the first is the views and commentary (that's actually two?)) is the ability it gives others to find places like these for themselves....me being the themselves part in this sentence....thanks!
Maybe a little odd.....The tent is OK. Easier to set up a larger tent when you're solo, for sure. It's one of many cheap Ozark Trail tents we have for when we go camping with the family. Sometimes it's nice to have an oversized air mattress and, for this trip, the tent did great.
That made me laugh, You will use any excuse to get out of town and into the boonies. I understand that completely . OH , i see you had to scramble through some
manzanita . Done that plenty hunting in the pinal peaks south of globe arizona. LOL.
I hiked to the top of that peak thinking that was my destination and it was the worst hiking I've ever done. No bueno. But that's what I get for not doing my homework.
I actually think that’s really cool! The world needs more swing sets. 🤙
The world cannot have enough swingsets. Especially swingsets in the middle of nowhere on a mountain.
You guys is odd, but I like odd. Reminds me of my times up in the hills and backcountry. That no matter where I went or how far was always able to come across something odd or beautiful or "no one is ever gonna believe this," kind of places. Really odd was as I discovered them I thought, Everybody has seen this, or knows of it, everybody who tramps the far off places. But now see I was one of only a select few in this continuum of odd seeking adventurers... Huh!?!
I actively seek places that are odd or beautiful. My wife and I have a running thing where we love being able to say "can you believe where we are?" The feeling of seeing something incredible only a few people have seen is a rush.
Well, some of us never grow up, I'm just a kid inside!
What were they mining?
Looks like you had to even bring your own firewood!
No idea what they were mining, but they definitely made sure their kids were entertained. I left after work and brought wood; didn't want to be stumbling around in the dark looking for it. (Which was a good call; there wasn't much where I was.)
totally worth it.
Didn't think so on the drive. Or while I was camping on the road. Or while I was hiking. The second I saw it....totally worth it.
Going to check this out very soon! Assuming this is one of the forest roads, where or how did you check if it was okay to camp off the road and to have a fire? Thanks!
At the time, there weren't any fire restrictions anywhere. As far as camping I just kinda....camped. There were better spots but someone was in another one (they left later that day) or the side roads were a little rougher than I wanted to take on. When you map it out, just search the website of the forest it's located in for any restrictions before you go and you should be fine.
@@JerryArizona Appreciate your prompt response!
Looks fun. Do you have the history of the swing set?
Not a bunch. I read it was for the miners' kids. Built back in the '80's. Which makes me feel really old, now that I think about it.
That was crazy, first I thought a mine but then you walked passed one, Then I thought some sort of rare tree like a Bristol Cone or something but Nope! a swing. Nope, would have never guessed that one friend!. One of these times when your to hell and gone out there your going to meet a 👽 Alien from outer space! I just know it. Get some good drone shots!
I saw unexplained lights when I camped on top of Weavers Needle. Probably airplanes, but who knows? Tina and I were just talking about Fire in the Sky and how that was in AZ, actually. I'll pass on that experience, if possible.
I recognize the tip the cap moment io IBTAT. 😂
You know, I have gotten a few of these comments and I'm always like "What does IBTAT mean?" I found him, looked at his most recent video and he not only opens with a coffee montage, but he actually uses the same music I used for a coffee montage for MY latest video. I'm going to have to start watching his stuff.
@@JerryArizona triple crowner. Vulgar, but good content.
@@JerryArizona the acronym is from Jeremiah Johnson, I've Been To A Town. 😂
Looks like a DJI Air2S? Regardless, great job brother!
It's the original Mavic Pro. A dinosaur by today's standards, but it still works. And highly recommend this hike. Ridiculous, but a lot of fun.
@@JerryArizona I recognized a lot of the roads. I stay in Gilbert quite a bit. I can’t wait to get back. My last hike was the Peralta Trail. Mind blowing!
General area? Mazatzals?
I can't give much away. I can say to search online for exactly what you want to find and the info is out there. It is vague though.
This what true exploitation is all about. Great video thanks.
Yes! Could use some WD40 though :)
It's in surprisingly good shape for it's age. But yeah. It could use a little TLC.
Any story on why or how it got there?
I've heard it's a swingset the miners put in for their kids to play on. But not 100% sure.
You cant be hiking up a 40 degree incline with a 40 lbs backpack for 40 miles all the time. Its ok to unwind and just be foot loose!
Excatly. But I did a lot of 40 degree incline hiking this weekend to make up for it....
mogollon rim?
Nope! Can't give this one away. It's such a crazy spot.
Thanks for not giving away this location because someone is going to to eventually ruin this. :(
I'm learning to be a little more careful in what I divulge. No permit system to protect this place, so....yeah. I found it. If you want to find it badly enough, you can. But I'm not going to draw a map.
@@JerryArizona for sure. 👍
Huh?? How did you even know about this??
Constantly scouring the internet and reading books, mainly. I think I saw a picture on Facebook (maybe) on this one, then started doing research. Research is my main hobby when I'm not hiking, working or editing.
Maybe I can make a you tube video?

What an awesome adventure!
Ridiculous is me spending more than an hour hunting down the coordinates to this.
Not at all! This one was tough to research. But sometimes, that's what makes it special.
AWESOME!
