    We, as a family lived in Apache Junction, 1961-62. There was nothing at the junction, except for a sign that was a flat board on a post that read, Apache Junction. That’s all there was. All of the houses and buildings were not there, at the Junction and the landscape shown from the drone. We lived in an old army outpost building that was heavily beamed, built sometime in the 1870’s. My brother and I, hiked up to the Flat Iron when the weather was good many times. There were dirt roads with names. We lived on Sagebrush Rd. There was no golf course, no stores, no city council, no city, no police, other than the Sheriff and his deputies. The desert smelled good in the mornings. We moved to Mesa, then sometime later, we moved to Phoenix at 12th St. and Maryland when there was a grape orchard and a grapefruit orchard. We lived in an old adobe house that was stuccoed on the outside. We used a swamp cooler, (not good during the Monsoon period). Sometimes at night during the hottest time, the temperature would remain at 100 till around 0100 0230. Then, it would cool down. In Apache Junction, we never experienced that, as in the surrounding desert closer to the foothills of the surrounding mountains of the Phoenix area, it can get cold in the night during that same period. It was a good time, all was well in Apache Junction. Good work on your video, Brad……. Faron.

    Hiked up to flat Iron today! It was my first real hike of this caliber, 3000 ft elevation and worth every step. You should meet an 82 year old man who has already climbed it 60 times this season. If you go during the snowbird nesting time, you should feel quite encouraged by the amount of 50+ year olds making the trek. I highly recommend this hike to anyone with the will to do it!!!! I took a ton of pictures because it was so beautiful. Rubbery breathable thin gloves would be good to take.

      Not for the faint of heart! 8.7 miles for me total, about 6 hours. I’m surprised how crowded it was! So many badasses getting after it of all ages and athletic abilities.

  • @mcpheonixx

    It's Mindblowing to think that all that was molten rock at one point. Each layer is actually a seperate flow, some being hundreds of feet thick. It's hard to fathom that much lava pouring out of cracks. Amazing geology.

    Thank you for a very clear and beautiful video.. My father in law and his 3 sons and 1 son in law has been hiking up those mountains for 50 years. Dad has been an avid fan to find the long Dutchman mine. . My husband just found your video tonight. He's always told me of their hard trek to this mountain. Until I saw your beautiful and clear video, did I really appreciate all the hard work that went into their travel to accompany their father. It certainly brought back a lot of memories for my husband. We sent your link of this footage to my husband's brother and brother in law. Thank you for sharing.

      most of these rocks were still underneath surface earth upon resurgence. all the unique paths of least resistance that the liquid rock pushed its way into are now exposed by water/wind erosion to reveal their other-worldly profiles. There is one spot about 1/3rd the way up where it looks like molten rock reached the surface and was shaped by gravity and its own viscosity. awesome contemplations

So, I'm sure he'll put it to good use. Also a concert pianist - hoping he doesn't use the STAR WARS theme - need something more unique like this soundtrack. And keep it away from water!!!
