Thanks!
Thank you so much
you two are the best!
Bill so great to hear from you! Thank you so much glad you enjoyed this explore!
Another awesome adventure with my Pin and coffee cool place
As a Vet I like seeing memorials like this, thanks for showing it, and travel safe
Thank you for your service. Glad you enjoyed our desert oddities and we’ll see you on our next adventure.
We think it's just art, simple as that.🤷♂️ Looks like the person/persons knew bit about working with metal and had a vision. Probably a couple of pipe flanges and mile of metal strips weled together. It's a cool peice! Great vid, we love the Mojave, can't wait to go back!
Yes we could help but notice all the welding and I was trying to figure out what the pieces could have been before. There are so many cool off the beaten track places here and we have more vids to come!
Thank you folks that was nice all the items you investigated and video editing for us thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed this one Tim!
thank you for sharing your travels with us
Thank you for taking the time to come along Dan!
18:00 What a great video you two.
Thanks Barbrah.
So much to discover amazing !!
There's so much to see Seb. Unfortunately some of the roads were even too much for Tonto.!
We "pinned" the Mohave Road back in 2005. And we did sign the logbook at the Mailbox. That was a fascinating trip!
There’s lots to see out there Lesley. Unfortunately the phone booth is no more. We were looking forward to that oddity!
I wonder why the desert has always been home to these oddities and mysteries ..
How sweet you placed that beautiful Crystal there for your brother 😢, very sweet. Love you guys,
Thanks Charley. The desert has always been a mysterious place.
Nice tribute to Mojave Stars-and-Stripes & VFW Memorial Cross! Hoo-ah to both of U!! One thing re megaphone is that it's certainly well built and positioned!
Thank you very much glad you enjoyed this one. That thing will certainly be around for a long time no doubt!
Very lovely, touching tribute to your brother, Robert. May he Rest in Peace and may your heart be comforted. More interesting content. Another wonderful Tuesday PIN! Thanks! Bon Voyage!
Thank you David for your kind words. Happy you enjoyed our mysterious of the Mojave.
So cool!
Boy, a bunch of weird stuff out there, probably a reason at the time. I loved your tribute to your brother. Yesterday I lost my BFF of 51 years. I will plant a tree in her memory.
Aww Lorna, we are very sorry for your loss and that is a beautiful tribute to their memory.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thank you. We have a memory garden, we plant a tree for those we lose. I started it when I lost my husband 36 years ago and continued it since.
Wonderful and touching story of the desert.Thank you.👍🇺🇸❤️
Thank you Gayle
So much weird stuff out there. I know for me personally, I've never once had the urge to to write anything using bones! Have always wanted to check the Mojave Megaphone but have never made it out to it.
It’s strange what people do and leave in the desert! Definitely worth the trip.
Your welcome
Thank you 😊
My camper, I made a thing to attach to a jack mounting bracket to hold up my solar shower. Neat video idea, weird desert stuff.
Glad you enjoyed the video, we have a portable shower too they are great!
15:25 such an odd train contents. I wonder it’s destination.
We wondered too! Very strange!
There are some wonderfully quirky things in remote parts of the USA - but it's probably easier to express quirkiness there than in Britain, where punctilious officialdom would tidy away anything deemed not in keeping with the environment. Thanks Steve and Andrea - great fun!
There certainly are glad you enjoyed this explore Brian!
Ahh...The mysterious Mohave. Many things odd and even, are often found in and around there. Peoples thoughts, dreams and even prospects on life are left there; wasting away in the desert sun. Many soldiers trained out there under some guy named Patton, often you can find things left behind by the troops as a gag. We even found a jeep buried.
Would love to come across an old buried jeep and the soldiers antics instead of the modern day rubbish Richard!
@@PinInTheAtlas Many believe that thing up on top of the hill was put there by the soldiers. Megaphone? There used to be another one on top of another knob about a mile or so from that one and they both "looked" at each other. Some say that one platoon could comunticate with another across the desert sand. Sound travels out there. Signals high up are hard to see.. And they were going to Africa. I heard it thru the grapevine.🙂
What an interesting find you made in the desert. You do a good job of finding unusual things. Keep up the good work.
We do our best to make sure our vids look different than everyone else’s if we can Paul. Thank you really glad you enjoy this adventure!
Great video! We're out that way often. Now we have new things to discover. I was so curious about the megaphone. From google...One theory suggests that the megaphone was used to amplify a siren that alerted locals when the U.S. Army was conducting secret chemical or gas testing in the area.
This idea seems the most likely to me.
Lovely tribute to your brother . I love the thought behind these rocks. I love rocks, so this seems very fitting to me. Thank you for your video and for always being so kind to pick up others rubbish. You are beautiful humans!!
Thank you so much Sue! We do have some more videos around that area coming out soon as well. If you haven’t been to them already! That sounds like a very likely scenario on the megaphone so cool to see these odd things way out in the middle of nowhere!
Been there done that a long long time ago. Cool close.😊🌵🌵
Great place isn’t it? Some places we couldn’t get to as the roads were washed out! I’m sure there’s lots more hidden gems out there.
That first location is very nice, but perhaps that box should contain logbooks and items directly related to it's purpose.
It's quite full.
I suspect that things like the glued item and the "megaphone" are or were enjoyed by the people who created them.
There touch of sculptural posterity and a wonderful enigma for the rest of us.
The rocks of mortality and another tribute to those who "croak".
Andrea,
I hope you don't consider my comments as detrimental to your heartfelt tribute to you brother.
Unfortunately people like to use them as a rubbish bin instead. At least these items gives everyone a chance at forming an opinion of their own, which is how it should be.
Why is there a memorial out in the middle of nowhere that no one knows of, never heard of this in my 50 years of life. Thank you for sharing.
There are many strange things in the middle of nowhere which leaves us scratching our heads. Glad you enjoyed the video. See you on our next adventure
Be careful so you don't get a crooked back when you always have the water bottle in the back of your pocket. It actually affects the back. Good video. Thanks for that. Greeting from Sweden.
This is very true thanks Harald, glad you enjoyed our video! Hopefully we will make it over to Sweden one of these days have always wanted to visit!
sorry to hear of the loss of your brother, fitting he get his own rock to the rock memorial to the dead.
Thank you. We thought the travellers monument was very fitting.
Very interesting find, nice job..good to see the flag
Thanks 👍
I am watching this on my new 4K screen in 4K. It looks great guys.
Thank you!
Love the video. I have only been on the Mojave road part way through. Never really finished the trail but would like to. Thank you for sharing and God Bless. 😊👍🐇🐣🐤🐥🐰🐞🌹🌵🦂
We would have liked to have done more but the roads were washed out to much even for Tonto!
If you are looking for a new adventure check out the petroglyphs near Pyramid lake in Nevada off of highway 80 East of Reno. They are the oldest petroglyphs in the Western area. Or the oldest in the world.
Thanks Michael we will pin it for next time we’re in the area.
GREAT JOB,I SEEN 3 OTHER CHANS GO THERE AND YOURS WAS SO COOL..SAFE TRAVELS..
Thanks Ralph, we always try to make our vids different.
Am I the only conspiracy theorist who noticed the contrail in the sky behind the cross ? You even caught the jet in the act ! Creepy 😳
We saw it! There’s been a huge increase over the last few months!
It’s not a conspiracy but cloud seeding or weather modification. A legitimate industry with SDS sheets providing pertinent information about the toxicity level of the aerosols being dispersed. It’s been going on since the 1950s. We are lied to on all fronts.
There I was flying in my alluvial plain when a bright shiny object appeared in front of me.
Nice place. Our brothers an dad have the same name Andrea. Mine died in December 1979. My dad still alive. My dad is Robert L.Erickson.
Great name, Chris. Unfortunately I’ve lost both my parents too. But they are always with me.
Hello P.I.T.A. That "Megaphone" I believe is an old air raid siren. In Kansas when I was there every Monday they sound those alarms to make sure they are all working. This one I believe might be one from a long time ago. When in Kindergarten - 1st grade I remember those sirens and we would have to get under our desks. This was in the late 60s. Back then though it was in case we were being attacked by enemies. The pulley at the bottom of that I believe is so that it will rotate as it's sounding. I could be wrong as this is a guess but I bet I am in the ball park. Hopefully someone will correct me or confirm this.
Hey Stephen! Well that sounds very plausible to us. We kept making guesses while there but honestly have no idea!
rain in the desert must always be a good thing... therefore no rain threat, but hope of it! the megaphone may be a specimen of what once was called "land art": if it gives you an emotion, made you think or fantasize then it worked!
It definitely has worked then Dario, it has all of us talking and thinking and sharing our thoughts together!
I think the megaphone was put up by a very good welder back in the day. It is meant to be a place for
him to display his piece of work.. Just like all of the other items you see out in the desert.
Regards from Ody Slim
Hey Ody! He absolutely was a great welder that thing will be there for a very long time!
@@PinInTheAtlas Considering when that was put up it had to have been arc welded.
@@OdySlim I’ve only ever mig welded. Art form all unto its own
ODD what you find when your not looking. thank you ALL stay safe
It truly is Dave!
5 ft 3 1/2in wasn't quite enough at the mailbox, so there was a step up for you. Did you visit Sarah Jane W.H.,or Ross, at Tacopa Mine?
Yes that step was handy Gerry.
We did pop in to see Ross and have a look around his mine but he was so busy with visitors and we were leaving the next day.
Hello as to the rail cars looks to be a maintenance crew of machines to fix the tracks the trucks are made to go on road and tracks the steel wheels drop down for rail travel and looking at most of the rest rail travel all so. As to the megaphone over the years have heard of lots of comments. And for the memorials 🏆🙏❤️🇺🇸 this adventure covers so much so my comments went for some that others did not mention so thank you for all the Discoveries and adventures 🤔
Yes we seen the crew pull those cars in and thought it would make a fun shot driving by! Glad you are still coming along on our adventures with us!
It seems to me the megaphone isn't a megaphone. If you look through either end does it focus on anything far off such as a cabin and so on?
No it doesn’t. It’s known as the Mojave megaphone. No one knows a lot about it. One of the mysteries of the Mojave.
Did u write in the logbook that,,,, Andrea and Steve were here.😉💫
Pretty much think it went something like “Pin In The Atlas TH-cam, like, subscribe, share, and repeat for all other readers of this comment.”
@@PinInTheAtlas you should have Tonto put a tread mark on the ppr to because he was there to,, do I have to do all your thinking 🤔 😉
Now I’ve watched and read a bunch of stories about the ‘sentinel enigma’ aka the Mojave Megaphone and I think it’s nothing more than somebody’s having fun psyching people out. Some really fantastic, resourceful artists figured out how to lug that thing up there and install it in a clandestine manner for the world to wonder about. You have to figure, if somebody or bodies wanted to make a statement like that, they’re gonna work out every detail to accomplish it. First, I think it serves no function other than to intrigue us. Now looking at the logistics of it all, that thing was either lugged up there by humans or animals. It was either that or maybe dropped by helicopter. Looking at it, I can see if you split that in half where it looks connected in the middle, I can see maybe 2 to 4 corn fed men could strap one half onto a stretcher type device and hump those two halves up and assemble it there. I figure also they anticipated drilling holes in the rock to secure it so how hard would it be to also lug up a compressor and generator. And like I said, they… and I mean ‘they’ cause there was no way one person did this by themselves, could of maybe used pack animals to get it up there. And I wouldn’t put it past these guys to have it air dropped cause they were serious about their project. I don’t think they’d exactly have to do this in the dead of night either cause after all you are way way way out there in the middle of nowhere and if you time it just right you could get away with doing this whole thing in broad daylight right under people’s noses and nobody would be the wiser. So I think people are really over thinking it and that the sentinel enigma should be appreciated for what it is, a beautiful, mysterious piece of art that’s gonna remain that way cause whomever did this, they ain’t talking. And no, it wasn’t space aliens, either
Sometimes it’s just nice to have a mystery Ralph. But are you sure it’s not aliens 👽 🤣
@@PinInTheAtlas I love a world and universe of mysteries. I’d like to think aliens helped but I just don’t think they helped with the megaphone… well… what the hell do I know? Like I said, the world & universe sure has it’s mysteries
Heat and constant sun makes humans nuts. Human do odd things when they're nuts. So, what do you expect in a desert? Oh well, as long as they're not disturbing the wildlife too much.
That’s funny Connie. 🤣
12:30 At some point thousands of years from now, a future archaeologist will find that and assume it is an accurate representation of our society, just like the way we find petroglyphs and assume they represent that society.
Wonder what they’ll make of it?!!
I like your backing music! Who is it?
Hi John. The music is listed in the description
Sorry I meant winnemucca lake
Haven't a clue on the megaphone unless it was meant for aliens to call out to us below.
It is a strange item for certain Arleen!
Think I'm cought up with the videos
New adventure tomorrow Raymond. Hope you join us!
@@PinInTheAtlas you know I'll be watching
Maybe he was never meant to be identified.?!
So in good old "Aussie" slang we refer to "beyond the black stump" the remains of a burnt gum tree, that object called a "megaphone" atop some rocks is hard to believe it's original purpose ????. anyway something different and keep it up you blokes Cheers
Always trying to find and show some different things and in a different way, glad you enjoyed this one!
Kinda like the music you used this time :-) Almost looks like that 'fog-horn' must have been placed there with a helicopter; maybe it's a big joke by the army corps of engineers LOL.
You two have been travelling around for quite some time now, and you're outside a lot I bet, so I'm wondering: what is the weirdest thing you've seen or experienced so far?
Well, we actually filmed our weirdest and scary experience so far. We kept hear these sounds of stones being turned and tossed as it was getting dark and it got more intense and closer and we Indra started to panic. It was the largest “pack” of coatimundi that even seasoned park rangers have ever seen. Had our hearts in our throats for a bit though. The video is called “strange creatures invade our campsite“ it’s an early one.
@@PinInTheAtlas Couldn't remember seeing this and watched the video: never seen those anywhere in the southwest! Very interesting and the little ones were indeed very cute :-)
They were adorable in person, we had never seen them either. We showed Rangers and they told us what they were, but we’re astounded by the amount of them.
@@PinInTheAtlas FWIW: They're called 'neus beer' (transl: 'nose bear') in dutch :-)
These strange quarks is Americana.
Certainly is Wayne.
That cross was an issue with one guy from a different religious group tried to have it taken down just because he was offended by it.
Some people eh!
NO to the dark intro
Thanks for the comment
Harold and Maud?
Sorry David, have no idea what you’re referring to!
@@PinInTheAtlas Harold has an obsession with death; he stages fake suicides, attends funerals for complete strangers and drives a hearse.
@@Jazzlobotomy thanks for explaining. It it a tv show or real characters.
I'm thick by first mi!Italy or air force ? That's a lot of work , for nothing . A qwerty artist like Banksy ? Weird !!👽
?
The megaphone I see had cross bars welded in it and holes drilled in the side so 12 year old boys couldn't use it for the obvious reason it was built - to launch their model rockets out of! It's a clear case of Gavin Newsom taking the fun out of everything! 😆
Lol love it 😆!
You might think your long intro is awesome. And I am sure you put alot of work into it. But I have news for you. Some of us watch for the article and I have a short attention span. I never even got thru your intro before I moved on.
Got through the first 3 words of your comment and moved on too so there!
This was absolutely fascinating. Oddities, in most cases backstories, far removed from the outside world, and seemingly respected, for the most part... **Thank you, so much for this informative, entertaining video, Andrea and Steven. 👏🌻💛👏 I think whoever donated that, just wanted to give something back to the desert, either loved by the donor, or in honor of someone else who once did, but wanted no recognition. Other than random visitors, would there be anyone near enough to hear?🤔 🏜
Probably not it is so far away from anything unless it was and incredibly loud speaker and it carried on the wind? We really don’t know about this one Rhonda!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support Michael. Tonto is happy 😃
Thanks!
Thank you Tina.
@@PinInTheAtlas your welcome
