The shots of the fog on the surrounding mountains were very pretty. Looks like you got your exercise in today.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Yes, it was, woke up in the morning and the fog and clouds were rolling in.

[@jimgollach6202]

Nice video John, if those mines could only talk. Enjoyed watching. 👍

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Jim I think about that all the time. I’m always wondering what this place was like 150 years ago.

[@TimmyCramer]

This channel kicks ass! You're an inspiration to other men who want to enjoy Freedom like you do! Timmy C Arizona

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Yep just living the dream and having all this freedom and kicking life ass to the fullest

[@ronlee2606]

Really nice scenery in the video John. Mines scare the heck out of me but still fun to see from the outside.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Thanks, Ron. Mine scared the hell out of me too. You won’t find me exploring inside of one of them.

[@catalinapazos3499]

Nice vídeo My friend it is good to see you. Enjoying

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hi Catalina thank you so much. April will be five years on the road and I’m still the happiest I’ve ever been.

[@debrabain7564]

Really pretty shots of those mountains!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Thanks, Debra

[@barbarainfante6094]

Love the T shirt! You got that when we were in WALL? Careful on those rocks!! Scaring me ! Don’t want to bust an ankle out there !

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Yep, that’s the same T-shirt. With all the scary things I did back in the day This is just like walking on the beach.

[@tigersteamer]

Looks like a really cool place. May have to go check it out. 😎😎😎

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

It is an amazing cool place. You definitely should come down and check it out.

[@barbarainfante6094]

GORGEOUS!!!! Starlink would be perfect there. Be right there! The sound is awesome, as is the video. Great job! Cool about the history. Where the heck are you? I’ll check out your link

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

I had great cell signal back there. This is at the bottom of California right on the border of Arizona and Mexico . I am now on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona.

[@stevezeppieri]

It’s John’s world….we’re just living in it. God bless my friend.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Steve, yes, it is my world and most people can’t comprehend that.

[@mikehauck5832]

Thanks, brother, for sharing .Mike H from Harriman 🔥☮️😎

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Mike the scenery here is a lot different than Harriman. Lol

[@dlansburg2673]

Enjoy your videos!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it. A lot more to come.

[@hlam9452]

You're living my soon to be life, John. 65 here

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

You need to get out here now and enjoy life.

[@dianerivard1538]

Wow that is a pretty desolate spot.Cool with all the mi es and history

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

There are probably thousands of little mines all over this area. The history goes back to 1780

[@doubledforge]

That looked like some tough hiking up and down that loose rock.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

The loose rock makes the Hiking interesting. It’s almost like Hiking on steep terrain in snow.

[@acp4237]

Johnny boy its freakin cold here in jersey. Stay safe my friend

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Alex, it is pretty warm here during the day and I will never see snow here. I’m so happy I am not in Jersey.

[@MajorWeakness]

2:06 looks like you are on Mars! Be careful on those slippery rocks!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

This place is very different. Those slippery rocks were like being on snow..

[@explorewithme4707]

I think i got an idea for you. Your beer reviews at the end. You gotta make those into shorts. Or maybe make another channel just doing beer reviews?

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

It has been a thought.

[@Cabmaker]

I see you found the center of the earth 😂

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

That is a claim marker and I guess the minor name is Center. 🤷‍♂️

[@glennherbst5470]

Nice to see a remote area that has not been ripped up by ATV’s.. No where can be pretty great. Getting itchy yet for some fly fishing.

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Yes, yes yes there are no ATVs going. Crazy back here. I’m lucky if I see one person a day slowly drive-by. I am beyond getting itchy for Fly Fishing. I think I’m getting the shakes every time I think about it.

[@chazzie5418]

Looks like you are getting familiar with that new camera. Maybe pick an easier trail next time. We're getting too old for those trails.😅

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

There still is a big learning curve with the camera and integrating it in my editing software. I never picked the easy route. That keeps me young.

[@paulhoffman5054]

Those mountains are magnificent! Thanks for the link on the areas History. I've been wanting to ask a silly question. How old is chippy the cup? Looks like she's got some miles on her 👍

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Hey Paul. So I think Chippy is about 25 years old now. The mountains here are magnificent. You can definitely tell. I’m not in the East Coast. Lol. The history here is amazing.

[@paulhoffman5054]

@overthehillandoverthemount2925 looks more like you're on another planet. Looks like a surreal moonscape. Absolutely stunning. Youre living a great life my friend. 25 years old , Chippy certainly has personality !

[@llfreeman100]

Is gorgeous area

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

This place definitely has a beauty of its own.

[@williamgunn1076]

Find any gold nuggets? :)

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

Lol nope no gold nuggets. It would be pretty cool to find one.
