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." 😂

We do too. It's such an adventure plotting a point on a map and going out to see what you actually see. 😊

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.

Great video! One critique I have is that the background music can be distracting from when Glenn is talking and is a little loud at times. Thanks for taking me along, guys!

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 :)

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! 😊

I was asking google what is the best time to load a video on KZbin and it said on a Saturday between 6pm and 9pm for the most views. Thought you might like to try that once and see what happens.

Would a stock 2021 f150 2wd be able to do the road to sheep’s bridge?

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.
@CactusAtlas
@CactusAtlas 9 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.
