    I hope you enjoyed this adventure! It means so much to me that you spent the time watching it. If you enjoyed this, please consider subscribing. I strive to bring relatively unknown, odd, unique, and special places to you each week from the American Southwest.
    ---------------
    👍How to be a respectful visitor to these places👍
    Native American groups still live in this area and beyond today. These places are still special and hold significance.
    1️⃣Don't climb on walls or structures. Don't lean on or climb over them. Many places don't even need to be visited up close. View these places from a distance or with binoculars.
    2️⃣Do not touch the rock art. Don't touch or create new rock art to preserve ancient stories.
    3️⃣ Leave All Artifacts. Leave artifacts and structures undisturbed to maintain their historical significance. It is illegal and wrong to take artifacts. If you want something to take home, support local tribes by buying their handicrafts and jewelry.
    4️⃣ Manage Waste Responsibly. Use waste bags; don't leave human or pet waste behind. Don't 'go' near cultural sites.
    5️⃣ Camp With Care. Don't camp near historical sites. No fires near these areas, and ensure all waste is packed out. Don't make fires in caves or alcoves. Camp in designated spots only. When you leave, make sure to make the site cleaner and better than when you found it. Pick up extra trash you may see.
    6️⃣ Control Your Pets. Don't let pets roam freely near archaeological areas to prevent destruction. Pets are not allowed in or near sites.
    7️⃣ Preserve Fragile Areas. Don't disturb fossils and please protect delicate soil and plant life.
    8️⃣ Follow Rules. Don't engage in illegal actions such as building cairns, or using climbing gear to access archaeological sites.
    9️⃣ Obey Drone Rules and Laws. Numerous locations in the American Southwest and beyond, such as the Navajo Reservation, Wilderness Study Areas, and various restricted spaces, enforce strict drone usage prohibitions. It is crucial to not only honor the legacy of the people who once inhabited these areas but also show respect for the present-day residents and adhere to their local laws, customs and regulations.
    ---------------
    NOTE: I don't claim that I am the first person to "discover" these places. I just find things on Google Earth and want to go see what they are!
    I do not claim to be an expert on anthropology, geology, or archaeology. I say that my channel is about "amateur archaeology". I don't have a degree or formal training in archaeology. I am just a hiker who loves to explore and see new things especially the ancient history in the American Southwest. This is what my channel is about. I hope you stick around and explore with me!
    I do not give out locations to the places in my videos. I take seriously the responsibility to protect and respect these ancient places. If you do find/visit one of these locations, please visit respectfully. I try my best to hide noticeable landmarks, mountains, and canyons in my videos.

    I think this one was really cool. This brings back history!
    I grew up in Oregon & in the early 1960s, it was this style of system that beamed the only available TV channel into our rural community in the western Cascades.
    I'd classify this as a treasure.

    When there's lots of flowers, like on the sage, there are going to be bees buzzing busily. They won't sting you as long as you keep a calm demeanor and don't emit fear. Same for wasps. If you don't surprise them, they will leave you alone.

    Cool. I like stuff we can see with you on Google Earth. In Ogden, there are some ruins of kilns, right in town. We can see one clearly, but the other 2 are right there too, but hidden. One is part of the sidewalk at the beginning of the street, but we can only see part of it. The other is in the same area, but a little higher from the marked kiln. Any of the old charcoal kilns sites are cool to look at. "The Kiln" in Utah is pretty cool too. On Google Earth, it looks like there are possibly more kilns or ancient structures, near it, but we know how different things can look in person. I'm pretty good at picking out ruins though. Get an eye for it after a while. You have one of the best eyes I've seen for ancient ruins. Thanks for taking us along.
