I do , ive been watching wonder hussy for 9 yrs & have run into her 3 times at hotsprings. Your goal is to find where she hasnt been. !!!! Good luck lol
Have you thought of taking the tough road up to Cerro Gordo.I'm sure Brent would be happy to see you for a visit.Judging by his videos, he's done an incredible job( with the help of many)under constantly challenging circumstances.
I love the eastern Sierras. Soo beautiful & alot to see . It takes me about 2 hrs to get where your at ... it's unfortunate all too many humans will ruin everything they see or touch . Serro gordo & saleene valley hot springs are sweet .
I was told yrs ago those signs scratched in the tock are just like what we have on the rd those are signs how far something is, and whats ahead.people were much smaller back then ....nice video joe from mo
Just recently I saw some bighorn sheep next to Cold Springs. And I also saw a chuckwalla lizard there in the Chuckwalla mountains! He was absolutely huge! It's a neat place, you should go check it out and be sure to go way past Corn Springs up the dirt roads and check out the old mining cabins as there is so much to explore out there and you will more than likely not see anyone. Good pictographs out there as well. Thanks for the great video!
Those craggy lava flows seem "young" when you drive by. Not young in human lifetimes! Thanks so much for this program! Olancha is the only place I've ever seen a tractor-trailer blown over on its side, a few other vehicles still stopped trying to help the driver out. When the wind "falls down" off the mountains there, it is a notorious blast! A great scenic drive, but many days not in a "high profile" vehicle.
My pleasure, and I know the winds you're referring to. A few years back there was a morning when several big-rigs had been blown over and tons others pulled to the side of the road. Not a great place for those drivers.
My dad and I would stop at the hotel and get a cold drink back in the 60's. I enjoy the videos you and others post, but I can't help thinking it was the pre internet and gps environment that kept them preserved. Do you ever think about that?
I think about that often and hope that as a community we can cultivate an appreciation for historic sites and public lands that promotes stewardship and preservation.
@@artistic-off-road if you are going to do these videos, insist that people leave things as found. And clean up the feces and toilet paper. And ask the Paiutes who are not extinct at all if they want you to expose their sites to damage and disrespect and depredation. I kind of doubt they want that.
I wonder about the effect of common chemicals in household water that might negatively impact the petroglyphs. For example, most household water is chlorinated (however minimal) which can cause bleaching. I'd probably refrain and use an app like ID-Stretch or just appreciate them as they are.
You didnt say where exactly this location is on hwy. 395. Also where did the indians find any pine nuts ? There are not any pine trees around for many miles
Good comment. There are loads of pinyon pines in the surrounding mountains. I'd imagine they were seasonally harvested and brought back to sites like this for preparation.
Crazy! I was looking at this property on Zillow about a year ago when it was for sale! Are you the new owner or did they give you access to cruise on and make content?

Visit north side of Canadian River. Magenta,Texas

The first time I was there was in the 1960's. Loved the video; thanks for posting.
Many thanks.
Reminds me of a Huell Howser adventure, luv"d it ..
Nice job on this video and it was promoted to me, and I’m glad I clicked on it ! I wish you great success!
Thank you!
Awesome video, Thank you for sharing this beautiful places. ✨❤❤
You are most welcome!

Most definitely. I haven't been up there for years, and do follow his channel.

I've been driving up there since the early 80's and never knew about this, thanks for sharing this video.
I wonder if different lighting would show more? maybe a black light at night? nice find, too bad about spray paint.
I think so. The oranges and golds of dawn / dusk are less harsh than the midday sun. The black light idea would be a fun experiment.
So....where is this? The specific area.
I was told yrs ago those signs scratched in the tock are just like what we have on the rd those are signs how far something is, and whats ahead.people were much smaller back then ....nice video joe from mo
Nice job on the narration for your video, well done.
That’s always been a stretch the legs point for me after crossing the high desert and entering the Owens Valley. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks!
My pleasure.

Thanks for the recommendation!

"There is beauty in the lost & forgotten." Wonderful!
Thank you!
Ringl8ng mt has a small post office thats in operations
Very interesting! I have driven past this many times and never knew about it, thanks for the enlightenment!
I remember the hotel that was there, was sad it burned down. Those old abandoned buildings gave 395 its character
I remember a bar/restaurant there when I was a little kid in the 70's right off the west side of 395 on the side road.
I remember that hotel well when we would drive up to June Mountain for skiing in the 1970's and never explored it unfortunately.
There's a few really cool petroglyph spots east of Bishop too!
thanks for this historic video. love the rock art just off of Hiway 395
Dang I almost never go to CA - did sometimes when I still worked to help with lines after fires - but maybe I have to visit here.
I drove by it for 63 years and didnt know it was there!

Well i appreciate your efforts in that. I do get that from your videos.
@@artistic-off-road if you are going to do these videos, insist that people leave things as found. And clean up the feces and toilet paper. And ask the Paiutes who are not extinct at all if they want you to expose their sites to damage and disrespect and depredation. I kind of doubt they want that.
Agreed. Noted.
A spray bottle of water is necessary for enjoying the faded Rock Art.
I wonder about the effect of common chemicals in household water that might negatively impact the petroglyphs. For example, most household water is chlorinated (however minimal) which can cause bleaching. I'd probably refrain and use an app like ID-Stretch or just appreciate them as they are.
Well done.
Such a shame when people feel the need to spray their ugly tags on history
I totally agree, it’s always a disappointment to see graffiti and scratches on historic sites and ancient rock art, as well as on old buildings too.
Always a fire that burns down old(world) buildings. Starting around 1850, where our his story begins.
Where did they gather pine nuts from in that area?
In the higher elevations of the nearby mountains.
this petroglyph spot looks like it gets blasted with sun allllll day long... maybe why it's faded so much ?
Most definitely-especially over such long periods of time.
You didnt say where exactly this location is on hwy. 395.
Also where did the indians find any pine nuts ? There are not any pine trees around for many miles
Good comment. There are loads of pinyon pines in the surrounding mountains. I'd imagine they were seasonally harvested and brought back to sites like this for preparation.
I have seen smaller post offices.
Haha. Yes. Me, too. 😉
10:20 then there's the rattlesnakes that follow the rodents.
Where's this gem?
Do you want to share your location?So other people can find it
Great, but where specifically???
Did you know that someone has bought Cerro Gordo and has been living there for quite a few years you should go visit him .
Brent underwood, almost 5 yrs now ! Check out ghost town living. Hes a cool grounded dude .
That one Pic of what you say a frog is a alien
Praying Mantis.
Or ancient women. Read my novel, Sisters of the Dream, to live the life that folks like this lived. Mary Sojourner
What are the holes in the rock used for?
Grinding seeds, primarily. I assume some of them were used to hone tools, and I wonder if they were also intended to catch water during rains.
Mainly food processing. Where i live it was primarily acorns
Starting to wonder if petroglyphs are just children writing on walls just like any kid would do from any generation.
Can someone send me a pin to that spot
Crazy! I was looking at this property on Zillow about a year ago when it was for sale! Are you the new owner or did they give you access to cruise on and make content?
They must have been absolutely famished to want to eat pine nuts. It's like eating wood.
Once you shell the nut, the inner meat is quite tasty. Albeit, requires a bit of work.
11,700 yrs, C’mon man.
Crazy right?!

Love your work, but stop using the word "crazy" to describe things that are amazing.
Noted. Thanks for watching!
Just a little condescending...
Why so? Definitely not my intention.
