Greetings from Texas. Great job on the video. Enjoyed it! ✌

Thank you!

[@Fishmonger35]

I had a Dad like yours. He introduced my brother and I to Rockhounding at a very young age. I am now 67 years old and still go out rockhounding and exploring almost every weekend! Your narration was clear and informative and your respect to leave artifacts right where you found them is appreciated. The way you climb rocks you must be part mountain goat! Have fun be safe!👍 I subscribed

Wow! Thank you for taking us along on this adventure! The climb didn’t disappoint! Neither does your channel. I’m new and can’t wait for your next video.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@JerryArizona]

I’m not sure what’s most impressive. That you were able to climb that route, the LNT messages you put in your videos, the info you share or the videography and editing skills. Great to see younger generations interested in the outdoors. Keep up the good work.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you so much, it means a lot. I had always enjoyed your channel and learned so much from it.

[@kathydavenport4422]

What a stunning place, thanks for the great video and information 👍

Thanks so much!

My favorite part is knowing that you are planning your next adventure and learning something new each day. Learning isn't just for school age folks. I'm sixty and I learn all the time.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you for watching!

[@SOUTHWESTSCREEN7]

Way cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@FriendlyBear-re6ln]

Enjoyed this interesting exploration! Nice work spotting all the signs of native inhabitants. 😊

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you very much!

[@Simonjose7258]

Cool

[@davemichelson1330]

Impressive. This fortified archaeological site is really different and extreme. It's in an area full of difficult access sites but this one defies explanation even compared to the others.

[@ruinsandridges]

It does defy explanation, lots of hilltops around there also have ruins, this one would have been a great lookout, but I was surprised to also find pottery sherds right on top. It is 500 foot climb from one creek, and 700 foot climb from another creek. The climb would not be easy to make on a daily basis.

[@JeannieHamilton-wm3cn]

I have never seen a black walnut in the west, i’m in California desert and I never knew they were here. I learn something on this channel every time I watch.

[@ruinsandridges]

Yes, they are very common in the washes and canyons, and along creeks of the higher elevations. Some are extremely large, with thousands of black walnuts on the ground. Lots of wildlife feed on them.

[@kalimalinali5027]

California Black walnut is native and wild even in southern California! They can be found growing abundantly in the San Gabriel Mountains!

[@beverlynepple9089]

Your dialogue with your adventures is really appreciated.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@KelleyMcDaniel-t1m]

I appreciate the stunning views with the great information! I’ve visited New Mexico twice and saw the usual tourist sights, which were amazing. However, you and your family are making me want to visit again and, this time, take the road less traveled!

[@ruinsandridges]

This one is not in New Mexico, it is Arizona, but yes, there are many many places off the beaten path everywhere.

[@atomictraveller]

my boss at a nursery gave me a bucket of black walnuts to huck once. took me two hours. my hand was black for weeks from the acid afterwards. not just black. it was crisp and cracked all the way through the skin in parts. they do made good ice cream :)

[@ruinsandridges]

My mom made nocino drink from unripe black walnuts, and had black hands from cutting them for at least a month. 🤣

[@TheAnarchitek]

The flanks of that volcanic plug were washed away by the same waters that denuded the slopes of Tsé Bitʼaʼí, or Ship Rock, circa the end of the 22nd Century BC, when massive amounts of water poured into the Four Corners region, remaining there for almost 3 millennia. The people who first ventured into the virgin land, afterward, were the Fremont People, who would become the Anasazi, before "disappearing" (the water ran out). It's a fascinating story, of survival against great odds, and titanic forces at play.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you for watching!

[@TheAnarchitek]

@@ruinsandridges Yeah, it was a long time ago, not relevant in the "with it" age.

[@sestiliayoung6589]

This is awesome!

It's a relativity small tree truck, from as in the days of Noah. Devils Tower is a better example. This one has been washed with huge amounts of water before petrification. This planet is the story of fantasm.

[@joemcintyre2090]

Do these videos make you popular with your peers? or are they spiteful and jealous? I know for sure your popular with the older folks.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you for watching! I hope more young people get outdoors.

[@tardigrade9493]

Hectoring your audience is unpleasant to listen to. And your bossy attitude is unproductive because many people will ignore your rules because they don't like your tone. Just saying...
