Thank you

Keep up the petroglyph adventures, as a self-proclaimed amateur archaeologist, I really enjoy them!

[@charlesglandon7840]

Those people had to have been there for many generations so much drawings there, and the depth of the grinding holes. Thanks for showing these to us not many people have ever seen them.

Sad what they did to the native people 😢

When you mentioned camels it made me remember that the army brought in camels to chase the Apaches. If I remember correctly they were called Beal's camels. I hadn't thought about that in years

[@stephenshort839]

Some were let loose in Arizona and there are still in the Southern desert.

Great video with the rock art and grinding holes in the rocks 🪨 The Membres People were strong in that area from about 600 AD to 1200 AD and were very artistic They farmed and are known for their exquisite pottery Thanks for the ride ✅ 🙏✝️🇺🇸

[@BilliamDEring]

I like seeing everything you video. It’s all new to me and if I wasn’t in such bad health, I might be riding along with you on these journeys.

[@lindashepherd3968]

Omg! You’re a geezer after my own heart! Big Bend SW TX, Davis Mts. That has to be the area you were in. I’ve been there twice. Stayed at Fort Davis and the Chisos Basin. Saw my first javelina in that basin. Lived in Dallas now AZ. I love Big Bend. The way the Rio Grand winds its way through those red canyon walls in the barren landscape. Stunning! One of my favorite national parks. First time I was there was in early 80’s then later in the 80’s again before moving to AZ. There is something about the desolation and isolation and pure primitiveness of it that grabs you. I wanted it to swallow me up in its wild singularity. I want to go back. On horseback would be ideal. You would feel the immersion into a time without cars and engines knowing the only way to travel. I’m jealous! Take me with you!

You are like the man i spent most of my life with. We would hike for days on end. He always chose the nights camp and never lit a fire where no fire had been. He showed cache left by Jesuit, spanish, and indian. But never took a single thing. He died at the age of 84. Blind, deaf, and broke. The richest man I've ever known.

There is a spot in southern AZ near... a place. We used to ride all the time. Thick with pictographs and a bunch of the crosses. Pretty much Identical, I don't recall any arrows though. Beautiful. Great video and ambient music.

[@glennhales7302]

I wonder if the crosses are note of the Spanish conquistadores in the area, as they do resemble them. I was told that the holes were to hold water when it rained as it was in such short supply. Some of them placed in hunting grounds to lure animals in to drink the water. Awesome coverage.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

That makes sense .. on both accounts .. my hounds have found water in those before .. Thanks

[@latigomorgan]

What a great spot! Some of those petroglyphs were Spanish, not just Indian. Talking about rattlesnakes, there's an area South of that location where, story goes, a guy was clearing some mesquite on the ranch land and the rattlesnakes were so thick, he had to close himself up in the cab because he was flinging snakes up all over the dozer. In the evenings, the boss had to pull up to the dozer and the operator would have to jump out of the cab into the back of the truck.
