I stumbled on your KZbin I’m an avid fun I spent whole Sunday watching the deep space pics you got . Say hi to shadow what a beautiful doggie be safe guys and keep the vblogs coming 🙏❤️

Ruins are always inspiring and interesting to see, but what still moves me to the core in northcentral New Mexico is visiting the the still living sites of Taos Pueblo and Acuma Sky town. Continuously inhabited, people able to live near each other for so long and something not found anywhere else in the US!

I love the spikes on shadow

Your in O'Keeffe Country, Lance! I just saw Cerro Perdernal in the big view. Thats her favorite mountain she painted often. Nearby is Ghost Ranch where they are digging up Dinosaurs. Ojo Caliente hot springs, Abiqui village a very old settlement. I love this area and have painted all around this area.

Very educational, very nice. Thanks Lance!

Thank you for the fasinating piece.

Nice video. I have been to this site a number of times and it is one of my favorites. The national forest service has a pamphlet that provides a lot of information. What you are calling agite is actually chert. It is from Pedernal Mountain which is the tall flat top mountain to the west. What makes this ruin so fascinating is that it has 17 kivas. One is a great kivas located about 500 feet west of the ruin. You can’t see it from the ruin. It is much larger than the kivas near the main ruin. On the Mesa top there is also an earth alignment which held a reservoir. There is evidence that they were raising crops on the Mesa top. The area also contains staircases carved into the rock, shrines, and cave dwellings. I first visited this site about 40 years ago with an archaeologist. It’s a fascinating site and it’s wonderful that you shared your outlining with us. Thanks for the references to 1491 and interesting information about other cultures. Happy trails!

You can just imagine the people and their lives. Feeling that energy of just being there. A reflection of then and now, is very humbling and to be able to see the pottery, the stones for building living spaces, the possible stones used for cutting hides or food and walking the path. A beautiful journey of crossing paths with the ancient inhabitants. It's really beautiful. Thanks agian for sharing.

Thank you and Shadow for another amazing journey!

You maximized every mile travelled! Amazing SouthWest tour!

This is the epic crossover episode we’ve all been waiting for

Wow, I just google Tsi-p’in-owinge to learn more about it and your video was the first thing that came up. That was quick!

Have you seen Cimbrer Bushcraft? Camping in Sweden. I’ve always wanted to see that location but haven’t been in the area. Glad you two were able to experience that. Looks like wonderful camping location. Ever thought about having a camera on Shadow? All of his interesting hikes he goes on would be fun. The images really did look like a ghost. Very cool. Thank you

Do you have a ham radio or GMRS? Just cool to see a radio while rock hounding! K7DFL

Very nice touch with the rear door! I have an aluminum camper shell with the regular rear hatch and have been considering trying to build a rear door setup like yours to replace the hatch to make it more comfortable and easier to get in and out of the back of my truck

well done mate, i think i like the cats paw the most, plenty of detail. Great location, like the Netherlands im here in the UK plenty of rain and cloud. Were coming to america....

Lance!!!! This is Lann.... Last I heard you were living in... Kentucky? and now you're in Saint George. I'm still in Mesa, AZ. I'm traveling to Vegas in a couple months for a trade show and would love to catch up! Excellent images and intelligent explanations.

The radio telescopes are massive! Cassiopeia was cool! Thanks for sharing the video. 👍

Insane they move those around

What a fantastic trip, Lance. You are right, I would love it 😊. I see your image of the Ghost was a bit more successful than my night on it. Fabulous images at the end. I'm going to watch Dougs videos of the trip to see if I can catch him feeding sausages to Shadow 😂.

Wow! GREAT trip, Lance! After watching this awesome video I feel like I can say “been there, done that” now! Thank you for sharing with us!

Looks like another exceptional trip. Thanks for sharing.

Another great video by my friend and neighbor! Thanks for sharing! Dee Dee

Yet another wonderful video and superb narrative

Love your enthusiasm and tour of the VLA.

That was great! I was reliving that amazing week! Had a fantastic time with you and Shadow at camp and the entire VLA experience. So awesome! Thank you and Shadow so much for helping make this thing happen! What’s next?!! Cheers! Doug

Great job! #Lanceisastud

Another great video. Trying to get the ghost myself the next two nights. It’s in view for 4 hours here at home. Yes bortle 6 with a full moon. Still with clear skies have to try. Doing narrowband. I’ll subscribe to Doug’s channel as somehow I had missed it.

I think that Shadow understands this better than me.😮

That looks like a jumping cactus next to you. Looks cool.

You worked for that big piece of petrified wood! I think I’ve stopped at the cliff dwellers spot before! Flinstones 😂

Lance, I was laughing the whole time you were dragging that rock to your truck. Without a doubt, procuring big rocks is a dominate family gene seen at play here ... and the rock doesn't roll too far from the outcrop! I'm glad you had a great time! Thanks for taking us along.

Any chance you have the plans for back wall & door build?

As soon as I saw that forest, I knew you were in AZ. Nothing looks like an Arizona forest ❤

Have you done a video detailing all the telescopes and equipment you use?

Just found your channel and subscribed. I'm a rock hound too. Have walked the beaches here in NC and found petrified wood. Loving your video. Thanks for sharing your wonderful finds.

2.5 million? I think you may mean 225 million years. The Chinle formation is Triassic in age.

Nice video adventure. Well filmed and great narrative!! Entertaining for sure!

awesome!!

I bought an AB16. When I press the '-' and '+' buttons, the only settings that are available are 'F1', 'F2', 'F3', and 'F-C'. There is no way to change the battery protection level as stated in the menu. What about yours? Are you able to change the battery protection level as the manual describes? Thanks.

It's so encouraging to see desert gopher tortoises! Especially a big healthy female like this one! At least I believe it is. The short stubby tail is supposed to be a sensually dimorphic trait. Way cool!!! A desert gem in her own right 💎💎💎

What a special place.!

Reminds me of a certain squirrel whom could not let one acorn alone.

Halloween agate

You and Shadow living your best lives Lance 😊. There is an island off the south coast of England called the Isle of Wight (also known as the Dinosaur Isle because of the high number of dinosaur fossils found). You can see a fossilised forest exposed at low tide at a location called Brook Bay. In the amongst the fossil tree trunks are clearly visible dinosaur tracks in the rock, criss-crossing each other. Like your location, this area was a forest with rivers running through it in the early Cretaceous period. Also to be found on the foreshore are huge dinosaur footprint casts, about 3 feet in diameter. Even you would struggle to get one of these off the beach 😂. The area is a fabulous day out.

😮

Drive safely my friend! That petrified tree trunk is amazing! 😍

I hope you left it there😳

Another awesome video. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

How fun? Beautiful stuff. Thanks for taking us along.
