    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.

    • @artistic-off-road
      @artistic-off-road  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

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

    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 wonder if different lighting would show more? maybe a black light at night? nice find, too bad about spray paint.

    • @artistic-off-road
      @artistic-off-road  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      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.

    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.

    • @artistic-off-road
      @artistic-off-road  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      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?

    • @artistic-off-road
      @artistic-off-road  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      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.

    • @artistic-off-road

    A spray bottle of water is necessary for enjoying the faded Rock Art.

    • @artistic-off-road
      @artistic-off-road  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      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.

    Also where did the indians find any pine nuts ? There are not any pine trees around for many miles

    • @artistic-off-road
      @artistic-off-road  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      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.

    What are the holes in the rock used for?

    • @artistic-off-road

      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.
