I know you have informed others of your location, but here's a backup idea. Carry 3-4 bright colored balloons to tie at a cave entrance. This would speed up searchers to find you if you had a broken leg or something, as a bright colored balloon could be spotted from a search craft as it contrasted with the differing shades of rocks and sand. Five minutes and some string is a worthwhile measure when solo spelunking. 🖖

That's a great idea! Going to swing by a Party City before I head into the mountains this weekend-- there's always a cave or two I end up checking out!

You need something a little sturdier than a balloon in the mountains, even a bright colored rag is better than a balloon. :)

An bright orange signal panel would be great outside a cave entrance, 3 ft x 3ft or larger anchored down with rocks to keep any wind from moving it, kinda like the ones we used in the military. JIC.

The idea of tieing party balloons at the entrance is a good idea. However, the mental image of him walking around all alone in the middle of the desert with a bunch of balloons floating over his head made me chuckle 😅.

FYI, you can still come in contact with Hantavirus just by stirring up dust that close to pack rat nests. I've come across them in old mines and give them a wide birth. Pack a mask in your backpack in case you need one in the future.

Jeff, I am glad you found that cave once again after so many years. The fact that this cave started you one this grand adventure is wonderful. As far as the petroglyphs you showed us, yes they fit together nicely with this ancient granary from a long, long time ago. Running water would have made that an important place for the ancient people who lived in that area. On final note, that cave entrance was very elegantly constructed by ancient people long ago, I really respect their aesthetics. Thanks Jeff for another meaningful adventure. Take Care till next time.

Its funny when you said your phone didn't have a light back in those days! Try growing up with no internet,computers, gps or a cell phone! We had maps that were folded like an accordion and the only phone we had was connected to a wire to the wall in the house and was owned by the phone co. 😅

I just got furniture out of storage it was in storage for 7 years I as the movers were taking it out I could see a hole in the bottom where a pack rat had gotten in and made a big nest between the drawer and the bottom of the dresser there was clothing hanging out and rat turds falling out now I'm in my new apartment I'm a 66 year old woman and I'm going to have to clean that pack rat nest out of my dresser all by myself. I hope I'm safe I'm going to wear gloves in a mask. But sheesh yuck! I'm going to spray a lot of Lysol after I clean it all out but I have no choice but to clean it out it's already been over a week and I'm in the same room sleeping with it God yuck. I'm going through quite an ordeal I was almost homeless and on the street down to my last money. When I just now got subsidized apartment so grateful for a roof over my head. I once got so sick from a cat that my boyfriend brought back from the Houston Port of Houston that was sick and dying that my doctor thought I had bubonic plague but I looked it up in the Merrick manual and it sounded more like typhoid fever to me it was awful the sickest I've ever been 107°people think you can't survive it but you can I thought I was going to get brain damage or heart damage though. Maybe I did.

@@BPlus-oz7cm Introduced in 2020, the LiDAR scanner is available on the Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15, as well as the third-generation 11-inch and fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2020 and later. Currently android isn't pushing lidar. Some brands have depth sensors. Look up androids arcore system to see the augmented reality being made. I have one app that will put animals, trains, a dinosaur and more in the background when taking your picture. Not just a still picture but a moving animated creature. I did scare my mother with that app by showing a small rattlesnake in her garden. (we don't have diamond backs in western NY).

The geometric stacks of squares are so precise that they do not appear to imply the graphic depiction of something that is in the environment so much as an constructive mathematical form.

Im thinking that maybe the native indigenous people could have used that as a sort of cold storage. Or a place to hide their women and children if there was warring tribes. Seeing others posting about safety issues. I would suggest a bright neon colored cloth pinned down at the edges to indicate where you are. That way aerial observers can find the area also, as well as putting a GPS tracking device on it. It's good to tell family members as well letting them know when you expect to return. Always think ahead. One time my bestie and I decided to hike the Rim to Rim trail in the Grand Canyon. We took almost 2yrs of research and planning. Also setting up a schedule when we'd get reservations and permits. We even hiked in the Wasatch Mountains practicing and preparing to hike down hill and up. Heck, I even brought a med kit, complete with sutures and an anesthetic. LOL. Never had to use it though. 😅

Thank you, for crawling in! I can't do that physically anymore, and I'm the kind of lady who would crawl into every nook and cranny to find out what's inside. (not ruining anything, of course). It was a joy to see this one! Can you imagine what it might have meant in the really old history days, to find a natural dwelling? I mean, we build our homes these days, but if I were out of a home? I'd go looking for caves for sure. Petroglyphs. I always wonder why there aren't clearer in meaning. I mean, if I were to go through the trouble of carving something into the rocks, I'd make sure anyone could understand it, without knowing my language or life?! But perhaps they weren't meant to last the ages. That's a possibility.

You are truly multi-talented. That 3D rendering of the cave was truly amazing. As for using it as food storage, doesn't seem like a hot idea if you've got generations of pack rats hanging out there. On the other hand it would make a cozy den for a mountain lion, which would explain why all the pack rat nests were empty. Lol. And better you than me in small enclosed places, I get claustrophobic just watching you go into that hole. I love the petroglyphs you found. It's always so exciting to see something that few or no other people have seen. It's very special.
