Searching for Ancient Ruins in the Most Obvious Places!

Today we head back to the Apache Trail and send the Drone off the beaten path in search of ruins from Natives that roamed the area many years ago. The Apache Trail was migratory route that natives used to travel back and forth from the lowlands in the desert to the higher elevations in northern Arizona. Later we travel to a different part of Arizona where I found HUNDREDS of feet of old stone stone walls hidden in the mountains.
Not too far from there I explored ruins dating back anywhere from 800-1200 years

Please do videos on haunted and scary sites. I love those.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

I will keep that in mind

[@kylejones5442]

​@jessiesdroneadventures7464 You should do another lake mead video. The water has really gone since your last visit.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Oh for sure! I was gonna head that way this weekend but i have family flying in for a few days......so ill be going out to lake mead next weekend instead......there will be a lake mead video update soon!👍👍👍

[@stevejones9044]

Love joining you in your hiking adventures! I'm not a big desert goer but your perspectives from your historical narration of the areas and drone footage makes it interesting.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

hey thank you! I appreciate that!

[@travellinman6658]

Stunning scenery! Thanks for another awesome video 😊

That owl was amazing!! Then you panned on his dinner... 🐇

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

yes lol, he thought I was trying to steal his meal

[@dawnr9158]

I don't know what I expected in the guitar case, but I didn't think it would be empty. 😱

Over in Sweden which sadly is very flat and boring farmers used to build very wide stone "fences" with all the stones found in the ground. Often there were so much stones that the fences became 2-3 m wide. Mostly heavy and rounded in shape. It's hard to imagine how much labor people put in back in the day. That owl was so cute, but they somehow seem so much more intelligent the way he looked at you. Owl's have always been one of my favorite animals, partly because of their mysterious nature and mythology. I came across your videos when you visited abandoned places, and kind of got stuck watching these videos of the very different nature compared to that of Sweden. I've watched a lot of missing people videos and have seen some nature that way, but it's kind of peaceful to watch some nature without having the tragic part or something else getting the attention. I would recommend that you leave some more time in the end of the videos for some information and for people to have the time to hit the like button, because if they have "automatic play next" you'll most likely will not get that like. Keep the good work up!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Thank you very much! glad you enjoyed the video! The owl was such a fascinating experience, I've never seen one in the wild before. I spend a lot of time watching missing hiker videos. Lots of missing hikers in Arizona and I've always been tempted to make a video following the paths of some of those missing hikers....maybe once it cools down a bit. Thanks again for watching!

[@RaptureHermit]

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 yes missing hikers videos sound Great !

Another magnificent and awe-inspiring video! Your part of the country is so vastly different than where I live in North Texas. I always enjoy watching your videos.

[@brutesquadbbq2268]

Great video, admittedly I haven’t checked thru all your videos, but there’s a great spot back in the Superstitions that you can get to from Gold Canyon called hieroglyphic springs. And it’s basically just that, some natural springs with petroglyphs all over the place. Not too bad a hike, only about 45 minutes or so. Granted, I haven’t been back in there for around 30 years 😂

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

I think I've heard of that one....I used to hike a lot in the superstition mountains....I may have to put this one on the list for a future video!.........Thanks for watching!

[@brutesquadbbq2268]

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 you should! There’s a huge balanced rock there too. Terrific spot.

Dang....you found the "hidden" walls I have been wanting to go explore. I spotted them for the first time just under a year ago and was planning to go explore them when this mofo summer finally calls it quits. Cheers mate! 🤠👍

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

lol cheers my friend....I was planning on hiking up here as well....hopefully by mid october it will cool off! hoping i may find some old artifacts!

[@espeescotty]

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 I drove up through there yesterday and there are more of these walls about a mile west of Top Of The World. They are so well built. I hope others, of the asshole persuasion, don't get out there and start destroying them.

I love that ride! It is amazing

[@sussudioharvey9458]

The “pictographs“ at around 15:23 are most likely only a few years old and put there by hikers. Hard to tell via phone screen but most likely drawn in charcoal. I’ve spent decades researching around the country and this is not uncommon. People try to emulate the style ( and fail) to fool people into thinking that they are authentic. However the earlier ones pecked into the desert “ varnish” ( look for dark areas on rock because that’s where you find them) are old. In this area finding a “pictograph “ rather then a “petroglyph” would be very rare.

[@sussudioharvey9458]

Thank you for showing these. I wish that we had drones 40 years ago. Would have been easier than rappelling down a cliff face using the steel bumper of an old Chevy pickup in order to get photos for documentation. 😂😂😂

[@danlundy6319]

Fun to find small campfire pits left near many small structures.

[@lornahardin4563]

I love going with you on these trips, this was a good one Jessie. Looked like in the early caverns there had been dwellings and some one/ones had knocked them down. I cannot understand people that would destroy ancient history, irreplaceable.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Thank you! I kind of thought that too....i will never understand why people seek enjoyment it destroying these delicate structures

[@lornahardin4563]

@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 I'm thinking no respect for themselves, or the parents did the same thing.

I would agree. Reminds me of that quote from the karate kid, " no such thing as bad student, only bad teacher" the people that destroy these could be a result of....not the best parenting?

Nice video bro that one place that you walked up to and there's like a room in there kind of hollowed out and the ceiling look like it been burnt with campfires or something I saw that place on another video recently like within 3 weeks anyway that's really cool I can't remember where that was but I think it's up north I'm down south by Arivaca, about 60 or 70 mi southwest of Tucson anyway if you want to come down to this part of the state check it out there's mountains beautiful country out here to check out lots of roads to go out there and aren't that bad but yeah that's pretty awesome up there too thanks for the video appreciate it The drones making so much cooler you can see stuff people haven't seen in over 100 years awesome maybe even longer dig it.😅

How are you determining the millions of years? It’s assumption no one knows no one was there. If you believe science I suggest you check out Genesis is history

[@user-zc8mk7mm7w]

I don't believe millions of years for much of anything. "History" via textbook/school, that we know was catered around Rockefellers school of Indoctrination. 3 generations is all it takes to get that done. And here we are.
