The Triangles Near Deming, New Mexico - An Intersection of Two Universes

[@stefanschneider3681]

How in the world do you find these places?! I just admire your determination to drive into the middle of nowhere to find out and tell us about it! Thx!

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I was heading to the area and just scrolled around Google Maps in this case.

Steve, thanks for taking us off the beaten path with you. You are a guide with a suttle sense of humor that makes the trip all that much more fun.

[@robertbenson9797]

Thanks, Steve. You’ve been to some weird places but this might be the winner. Thank you for going to these places so the rest of us don’t have to go. Keep up the weird and historic ventures.

[@SidetrackAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it.

Loved the video. What a crazy place.

[@roncarguy72]

So we don't have to... Love that. Thank you Steve.

[@markaf2887]

Steve, love your videos. I found your channel a few months ago and have been hooked since. I grew up and lived in the Palm Springs, CA area for nearly 50 years before moving away. I have learned about things in the western United States and where I used to live, I never knew existed until watching your videos. I love how you explain the history of some obscure ruins or road, and bring it back to life in your videos. I’m a history buff and very thankful there are people like you exploring these unknown historical sites, no matter how insignificant they may seem to be. All history has significance, so thank you for taking us along with you on your sidetrack adventures. Keep the videos coming….. looking forward to the next one and the one after that, etc.

I used to live in Columbus, just south of your location. That is a Homeland Security Aerostat tethered at 15000 feet. Those mountains are the Three Sisters. The aerostat is used to track aircraft approaching the border and possibly entering unlawfully. Columbus was home to the Columbus Air Force headed up by Martin Houltin who was a prolific smuggler and was the FIRST pilot ever arrested by the DEA for smuggling drugs by air. Houltin and a few confederates formed a group that was called the Columbus Air Force. His son Brian was manager of Pancho Villa State Park in Columbus. As I said I lived there for many years and knew a lot of people and the history. Pancho Villa's troops entered Columbus in March 1916 and killed 17 people and destroyed much of the town. Lots of History down there. And if you are looking for a good meal, step across the border to Palomas and eat at La Tienda Rosa and the Pancho Villa Resaurant.

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I actually went to Columbus the next day after visiting this place (as you'll see in next week's video). I didn't have time to go across the border though.

[@skydiverclassc2031]

It should be also noted that Villa's troops lost 67 killed in the raid.

[@straybullitt]

The first United States military use of an aircraft against another country also occurred during the Battle of Columbus in 1916. Or, more accurately, during the punitive expedition into Mexico following the battle.

[@aaronh1372]

The range nearest you are the Florida mountains (pronounced Flo-REE-duh). The 3 peaks in the distance are la Tres Hermanas. La Tienda Rosa is a tourist trap now, but still neat with good food and excellent shopping. The second (to the planes) nearest bunch of people to this area are eating at an amazing steakhouse/bar called the Adobe Deli. The cow that made those tracks has left this dimension. West of Deming, on the Continental Divide, is a ley line intersection where Nikola Tesla has visited and planned to incorporate into his free energy grid. It is rumored to have a foot made of metal sticking out a tree stump to represent a portal to another dimension. I never found it, never looked too hard, either.

[@Three003]

I did the archaeological survey for the aerostat.

[@toddstrickland973]

I'm from Roswell, gotta admit never boring, I love it here.home sweet home.

[@glennhales7302]

I grew up in Deming and never heard about this. Neat to see the Tres Hermanas, 3 sisters, mountains in the background.

[@livininthemoment2819]

I lived in Deming many years ago, and I never heard of this place either?? Very interesting, though. Did a lot of rockhounding in the desert back then! Lots of desert to explore.

[@NM-pl1iv]

I think I’m more intrigued by Tres Hermanas, In Abq we have the 3 sisters on the westside of ABQ but they are old volcanoes. Guess the weird portal to another world is just Albuquerque.

[@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL]

I live in silver City New Mexico and I have never heard of this also. But very cool

[@akelagold]

I live in Akela (near Deming) and have never heard of this place. However I have been to the Sloth Pit at Aden crater several times.

[@karenbochinski]

My husband and I have a camper. We so inspired to see these unique places you keep discovering. You history is amazing. Our bucket list is filling because of your awesome program. Thanks I hope then do not become crowded I love places with no people. That is my fear

[@TheStuport]

What a splendid way to start off 2024 with some Gnarly Paranormal Possibilities! A few times I could hear you smile as you were explaining a few of the differences of the dueling Universes! 😄 You absolutely nailed it for me @ 4:01 with the Tree or as you also implied possibly the roots of another tree in the other universe!😉 This whole area reminded me of places where me and my buddies really wanted to go back in my Cheech & Chong days of doing Wild Peyote and a wee bit of The Magical Mushrooms. I'm actually grateful I survived "Those Trips" 🤣 I still appreciate places like this Steve and the stories and history attached. Great to be with The Sidetrack Adventures Posse in this quest for The Unknown! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

[@SidetrackAdventures]

Thank you. Yeah, I was having a hard time not laughing at times. First when we got all the way out there and seeing the look on my wife's face that we drove out there for that haha.

[@TheStuport]

@@SidetrackAdventures Priceless!

[@wmjohns881]

One of the many things I like about the presentations.. If Steve doesn’t have any evidence to support a find.. …he will be transparent that he is just guessing instead of using his opinion as evidence. As a science oriented guy as myself, I really admire Steve’s transparency and honesty. 🙏🏽

Once again, somewhere I would not likely get to visit on my own, but very much enjoyed! Thanks again Steve! Bart

[@thomasroberts8024]

In 2019 I decided to take my wife of (then) 51 years to see the place I lived from 1948 to 1952, Lingo, on the eastern side of NM. The dot is still on the map. Even when we moved there the former school building was overgrown with the windows broken out. About 2 miles South and West of this dip in the road, our house was a stuccoed adobe brick 4 room thing with a spherical propane tank for heat, a windmill pumping into an overhead tank, a nice barn and a decommisioned boxcar for feed storage. A wind generator and batteries supplied power for the 12 volt lights. It was a year or so before the REA strung wire along that dirt road and we had 110V electricity. With great anticipation I turned onto that road to find that the county no longer kept it up and it had regressed into a farmer's turn row. We soldiered on and it was soon apparent that there was no trace of the place I remembered so clearly. So, on up to Causey, a little further north up hwy 214, where I started 1st grade. All ruins. I decided that my sidetrack adventures needed to take place at sites someone else remembers from then on, as seeing nothing that you clearly remember is just too unsettling!

[@semiproactive9625]

Far out, Man. What people do out in the desert is remarkable. Happy Humpday, Thanks Steve.

[@robbergstrom943]

Strange and wonderful idea. The Kcymaerxthaere project is a kindred spirit to this channel, weaving compelling stories about fascinating places. We are currently exploring at a big handful of spots covered in Sidetrack Adventures on a road trip over the holiday break in the desert SW. But no kcymaerxthaere stops planned!

[@rdbjrseattle]

This reminds me of the Maltese Cross purported concrete Corona satellite calibration targets of the 1960s near Casa Grande, AZ. That’s where someone probably got the idea for this set up. One of the many targets still extant in the immediate area: 32.748031,-111.739763. You might want to check this out. Calibrate your drone.

[@kenbearsley8322]

It certainly is weird. You certainly would be a great tourist guide. You take us to weird and wonderful places in America. Living here in New Zealand, I've probably seen more of America through your videos than what we get on our news or documentaries.

Fascinating. I have an aunt & uncle who lived in Las Cruces for decades (in Albuquerque now), whom I loved visiting; they enjoyed taking me to all sorts of interesting nearby attractions, mostly native American sites. I'll have to ask if they've heard of this. Thanks again for sharing this needle in a haystack!

I lived/worked in Deming for about 3 yrs around 1982. Nice little town.

[@sandyzalecki1145]

I lived in out in the exact area Steve was at for 11 years. I didn't know anything about that parallel universe thing. My husband an I were members of the Friends of Rockhound Park for years. They used to give lots of history lesson but never talked about this. It's amazing Steve found this place.

[@SidetrackAdventures]

Yeah, seems like a nice place.

[@sandyzalecki1145]

I lived in that area for 11 years. It is certainly desolate. I think you drove right by the house where I used to live. Can you blame me for moving because I didn't want to live there by myself after my husband died? There's so much BLM land out there that we ATV'ed all over that area of the world, but we never found that place or knew anything about it. We mostly rode in the mountain that you see in the pictures. There's lot of interest stuff out there and a lot of people live there to hunt aliens. I wonder if they are from the alternate universe? Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Despite it's remoteness, I miss living there.

[@SidetrackAdventures]

The area is amazing. It was so quiet out there. Would have loved to get closer to the mountains. Drove past them on the other side on the way to Columbus the next day.
