Sounds a little old time country. Chris LeDoux, some guy made a song about him.

[@michaellesueur5103]

As usual, my heart follows where my body can’t go. Thank you for allowing me to ride along.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks glad I can help in some way .. your always welcome

[@michaellesueur5103]

@ your kind words are a comfort. Although we’ve never shared an adventure in person, I feel like I know you through your shared videos. Thanks.

[@UnStrungHero]

OH, my thoughts exactly!

[@garyb4929]

What a great episode!! Being on other side of the mountain, in life, I sure enjoy your travels. Thanks again.

Thanks for the ride Sir! Cheers from Germany👍

[@johngriffith610]

I make those old man noises but I don’t remember my dad making those noises. I’m 66 he was 61 when he died. Maybe he wasn’t old yet. Thanks for another awesome trip. God Bless 🙏❤️🙏

They get louder and increase in frequency in the 70's...... You'll love it!🧙‍♂

[@davidsawchak1330]

Brett, I agree with you there is something special about these mountains. It is really rugged and beautiful there and I look forward to seeing future adventures there!

Glad you enjoyed it Thanks I will be back

THANK YOU FOR THE RIDE ALONG. SEE YOU NEXT TIME. 🐎🐎

[@BrettVaughnB100]

You are welcome and thanks for coming along !

[@gerryhartung736]

The best part of your videos... the ride! Even at a mules' pace, there's time to "stop and smell the roses", to look around and see the world as it once was. Waaaay better than 70 or 75 mph when you only get small glimpses. Thanks.

[@nancyhainline2517]

Thanks for sharing your ride. Have ridden since I was eight. Am eighty two. Don't ride, but still have horses, mules and donkeys. Keeps me grounded. The rhythmic sound of your mule walking along brings back so many memories. Bet a recording of that sound would sell. Hehheh.

[@robertdehaven7995]

Bret you are a unique personality. These adventures are inspiring. I don;t have mules but I got two legs left. Keep your adventures coming as long as you can. "Keep the old man out".

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes I will as long as I can ... Thank you!!

Love this channel. FYI, i started the keeto diet 6 months ago (no carbs,no sugar) ive lost about 50lbs and havent felt this good since my early 30s,(im 50 now). Living offgrid in northern AZ, loving life🎉

[@BilliamHerring]

I lost 65 pounds on keto diet. I eat lots of hamburger, beans, fish and stewed vegetables. The hardest is not eating potatoes and bread.

[@kevindouglas793]

I absolutely love your video's mate, I'm real glad you weren't born 100 years ago, no fancy cameras back then, we'd just have sit around a campfire and listen to your adventures

To celebrate Christmas, she'll have on her Santa Hat, red bridle and red and white leg wraps and of course her sleigh bells.🎄The trails there are great fun, not as rugged as the mountains you climb, but it's still great to get out, CHEERS!

[@stevemccoy8138]

Hello Brett, I wonder what that old rock building had been ? Old store, or Stage Stop, maybe a Saloon ? Looks like it was well built. Possibly a Ranch house ? Might be a good spot for a metal detector. 😅 Well anyway have fun out there, watch out for the Mexican smugglers.

[@scratchnbell]

Beautiful, Watch your top knot!!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes and you yours ... and Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline ... Thanks !

[@WillySmith-sd4em]

Thanks for taking us along, Brett. That really is beautiful and rugged country. The rock house was quite a structure.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes, the rock house was quite a sight!

[@susanstone3588]

Sure enjoyed seeing some new country with you, Bonnie, and the girls.

[@wb7sff]

Brett, I'm happy to ride along with you, having never been in your part of the country. Keep on, keepin' on !!

[@mikeporter6952]

This was a good one Brett! I liked the feeling with that sky and the wild mountains! Thanks !

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks !

[@ericchilver9113]

16:37 sure is beautiful, the solitude would be awesome. On a mule or horse I reckon is the way to explore . Not many folk would be doing that, is my way of thinking. Looking back at the view makes me think of the life past and how magnificently beautiful life is, with all its trials and trails . Yup sure is the way to look around Brett , on a mule or a horse. You’ve got it down packed, well and truly sorted. Onwards and upwards. 👍🇦🇺🇺🇸. 17:48 😀👍 old man noises😂 yeah I’ve been making a few of those. 70 next year. 21:00 I’d like to see anything and everything you feel you would like to share Brett, really enjoying looking around through your eyes,

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you Eric ... yes a horse or a mule is the way to go .. I don't have everything sorted but I am working on it ..

[@jamesbarr1620]

Good too see you out love these videos 👏👏👏

[@rockweeks5697]

I make those old Man noises too! But then I'm 74 so I've earned the right! I don't care where you go because I enjoy all of your wondering. The only way I can get into Southrrn Arizona's backcountry these days is by using my 2001 Jeep Wrangler due to some physical issues. Brett I enjoy everything about your videos so keep doing what yore doing.

[@seanyancy1809]

Brett thanks for the mini adventure. I love exploring on those blustery days when the wind talks and the skies hint of turmoil. Stay safe.

[@chrisgutierrez5952]

Glad to have you exploring our mountain range. There is lots to see here, lots of mining camps and old military forts and petroglyphs. The East side is the mountain is a lot easier to navigate. East side is even rumored to have a cave filled with Conquistador armor.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks ... yes I need to get over to that side and check it out ..

[@DanielGauss]

We live in "the Gap" between the big mountains and the little ones you've been before. Even had an Ibex run up our driveway one time last year. Have driven up to the old roofless house many times, most recently to scout out a location to shoot the Comet Atlas in October. Few years ago my "photo bro" and I hiked up to that saddle you didn't have time to reach (fell on my face and dislocated a finger on the way back down). There's a cabin up there, that's free for hunters, called "Pablo's Spot". Found out after I posted pics on Facebook that it's actually owned by the local pet groomer, south of town. Missed the cave/mine on that trip, though. Now, a memory test... I met you in February 2008 out by the Goodsights when I was running jacks with Dutch (I have pictures!) You remember that? There was another truck showed up that day with the biggest Airedales I've ever seen. I'll figure out a way to post some of the shots to you. Great videos! BTW

[@richardrogers8254]

Absolutely beautiful mountains. That was a great adventure, thank you for taking us along. That house structure still looks livable. I'm actually surprised that people don't fix those things up and live in them. In Tennessee it's hard to even find housing now, so expensive.

[@wayneshirey6999]

Rugged looking but very picturesque. Thanks for taking us along.( No way would I have cra wled in that cave by myself, even as a whopper snapper.)

[@bruceperry4770]

Looked like an awesome mountain range to explore. But I’d say you better be prepared for about any situation. I believe you’re right bring a pack mule along. Maybe drive there then camp overnight and get an early start up into the mountains. Be sure to take us along! Thanks great video!

[@WadeVanDyke]

Another great video...those mountains look really neat and would like to see a follow up deeper exploration.Good stuff bud.

[@01Lenda]

Sometimes, the spookiest places folks say don't go too, hold the most exciting finds. Least, in my travels. Great video, thanks for the ride! Enjoyed it! Stay Blessed! 🌿💙 Lol on the beans. I make a pot of charro beans and all I eat, all week.

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Brett what a great ride h made up that canyon. I to like to check out new country in my 4x4. Beautiful country looking back n over your shoulder. Thanks for the great video of new country! 🤠👍👍👍

[@wolfeyessouls7965]

FAT LORI😍 That first structure you went to was really nice brick work. Always like the dams, dirt tanks and innovative dams to keep water. This Always amazes me how it's done...Can't wait to see the other structure when you pop over the hills to see...

[@BilliamHerring]

I think the structure up ahead is a miner’s shack, you can see where he’s had several digs in the area. Thanks for bringing me along for the ride.

[@ernieconway6116]

Love your channel! How about a tutorial on how you load and tie up your pack Mule. I've always wanted to see how it's done with the different knots. Just a thought. Onward and upward!

[@samhunt9380]

Enjoyed coming along for the ride, even if I'm way down in Australia. I love searching out old buildings in the landscape too. Cheers mate.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thanks for coming along from down under ... !!

[@stevevick9946]

I’m patiently waiting for part 2 when you go further up the mountain. Thanks for taking us along. When’s that coffee coming out? 😊

[@robingoff322]

Hi Brett….this was so nice to watch….the remains of that stone building was so cool to see. I wonder if someone lived there and for how long. Seems to be in middle of nowhere. Sounds like a trip to do when it’s warmer overnight to camp and explore that area some more. Maybe even a couple of nights stay? Thanks for taking us along….I like the slow ride too 😉

[@lynngatlin4469]

When your around those old homesteads like that's where you need your metal detector to explore never know someone may have dropped a coin.

[@digginbaja9616]

The old structure has had it's treasures stolen if there were ever any. I've been told from old timers in Mexico owners of these old places hid their silver and gold in the corners . Looks like someone demolished one of corners completely off. If you ever find another structure maybe you should bring your metal detector along and detect all the corners.. Thanks for sharing your adventures HAPPY TRAILS

I know someone that packed in a camp to the saddle north of south peak and used the guzzler to water the mules. I’ve spent a lot of time chasing goats there but haven’t been brave enough to take a mule. That mountain is about as rough as it gets. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes I just seen some pics of the structure cabin on top .. I want to go to it someday .. maybe find a lion track going down out of the rough stuff .. I know I asked you if you were related to Dale Lee but are you related to Bob Lee from over by Datil ?

Nice country. When I'm hiking the desert I like to do so in that kind of weather. I figure in a few days to hike Ft. Bowie and the surrounding area. That's more of that rugged type country.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

That area is rugged for sure! I would like to see it thanks

[@ChollaJJ]

Ominous weather can be fun….at times. Brett, don’t know about land ownership, or surrounding issues, but a couple of those old rock structures could be proved up, little time,help and cash 🤠👍. Another adventure…with hounds and a mule. ….. Thanks Since WW two, and surplus jeeps, tracks going everywhere !

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes and some elbow grease ... those UTV's and four wheelers get just about everywhere .. but like I said where's the fun in that lol Thanks

[@stevecr8934]

I wouldn't mind a slightly larger map of the areas you ride in. There's always something else over the horizon. 10 yrs of trucking. Once in awhile you get off the big roads and go for an adventure. lol < wondering too if I can turn 60ft of truck around. Good climb this trip. Front Porch of the rock house was nothing but scenic beauty. I could put my chair there nightly.

[@smithdog4770]

Southern New Mexico reminds me of Ft Huachuca in Southern Arizona, we got to train way back in on some of the Reservation lands. We weren't allowed to disturb the land, so no digging fox holes, which was a nice change of pace. I'll tell you what though, a mule would have been really nice compared to humping a ruck sack with a hundred pounds of gear, plus water and food. It's beautiful country but very unforgiving too. (some Marines and special forces trained on Mules so they could use them in places like Afghanistan if they could find someone to rent them out.) One spot I'll never forget close to the Mexico border was a cottonwood grove and there was Quartz everywhere, massive chunks of it all over the place. I'm not one of the hippy dippy types but I can see why these areas get a reputation for being spiritual places, especially after spending a few weeks out there with no vehicles, we didn't even have tents actually, just a poncho and liner. I trained all over America and other countries too, but that place I'll never forget, even though we there less than a month. Sunsets and sunrises where beyond stunning.

[@markeverson5849]

I wonder what the history on those old homesteads are those ranches?

The animal you are referring around the 19 minute mark is Oryx. Brought to White Sands Missile Range back in the early 70s. Not a rock climber like mountain goats. They will wander up hill in canyons searching for grasses. They will also eat prickly pear thorns and all. In NM they have two predators besides Chevy, Ford, and Dodge and that is mountain lion and man. Coyotes may take on the very young, very old or injured Oryx. Very tasty as well.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Watch the whole video

[@brianedwards231]

@ Sir I did enjoy the whole video. My original post is based on being stationed at WSMR for 4 years and spending a large part of my time “down range” so to speak. It also looks as if you are enjoying the lovely Florida mountain range east of Deming. Keep up the good trips.
