Really cool. It would have been something to see those when they were new.

Was thinking that about another one we found that is entirely something else and quite interesting in construction. 👍

Thanks Glenn and Amy. I'm learning more Arizona history than I did when I lived there for 30 years. Thanks for showing all the beauty of my home of Arizona.

Holy crap that were some dark clouds! They can really sneak up fast in the desert. Nice to see the landscape so green!!

No joke! And they're also super isolated. Glenn came home from that outing and mentioned the storm and I was looking outside like, "What the hell are you talking about? It's been sunny here all day." 😂

This was adventure. One of my favorite videos. I like that you have a plan, however, you adjust when things do not go according to plan.

That seems to be just about every outing sometimes. Especially lately as the weather has been absolutely unpredictable and not at all what has been forecasted. 😂

I recently spent a weekend out there scoping out the Rosalie Mine and some of the ruins, which I now see were the Squaw Creek ruins based on the map you showed. They were pretty amazing, set right up against the edge of the canyon. And there are petroglyphs nearby. Potsherds literally everywhere. Definitely recommend a look at that one.

Good call on getting off those mud trap roads before the bottom fell out. They'll always be there for next time. We ll as long as we can get to them. Thanks for another Great Adventure Glenn. Rain out for Glenn just means easier work for Amy :)

Super easy as Glenn edited this one. 😅 Yup... we're certainly going back out to try and find more in the future.

14:00 Geology for the viewers: The source of the lava rocks is the small mound/hill sitting on top of the other side of the canyon. It's an ancient shield volcano (thick lava, poured out slowly like a pacake, like on Hawaii). It's called Joe's Hill!

Appreciate the info! While we went to Lassen and learned a bit about the different volcano types, we haven't looked much more into info so we love hearing from others with more knowledge. Thank you! 😊

It’s a wide road. I just released a time lapse of the whole route if that helps. But, my remembrance is you have pretty wide road.

What I always wonder is if people who lived on the edge of canyons or any other beautiful landscapes...did they love the views like we do? Maybe at first but then later on it faded for them? I guess we will never know, I know it was a hard life and I'm just gonna believe that maybe that gave them something to feel good about.
@CactusAtlas9 ай бұрын
I imagine they loved the views, but I think most historians believe it was to be able to see both game and enemy, protection from conflict, etc.

One thing you never really see. A lot of adobe was used in construction and it would have likely melted, dissolved, or crumbled away over time from rains and winds. Some remnants of wood are probably there... somewhere. Others probably taken and reused elsewhere.

I LOVE Agua Fria NM. It is a shame that it isn't managed better. And it is a shame that all visitors don't treat it with more respect. The cattle are allowed to roam free, the visitors make fire pits out of pueblos, and there is shit all over the place (both bovine and human). Ugh. Its only saving grace is that the roads are bad so that keeps most of the riffraff out. Most. Not all.
@johnchedsey13069 ай бұрын
Well. You've convinced me. I won't take my Honda Civic out there. Or my Juke. (Though it looks like some of the roads out there would be fine for it)
