    Thanks for watching my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had to pack all of my water in this time. Sometimes you can find a pool of water within the rocks or low spots on the mesa top, but there has not been any rain for several weeks, and I did not see any water. There are sources of water in the Ojito Wilderness, however, they are hard to find, long scattered, and you need a filter. After a rain storm, water can be found all over! Albuquerque lights at night are awesome!

    Sweet, thanks! Yeah I'll hopefully make a hike out there the next couple of weeks. It's for sure warm enough for it.
    Thanks for the info on the dinosaur dig, i'll have to check it out. I know the whole area is rich in fossils, but in the windmill site they're just ammonites, and sea shells, so they're legal to pick there. I know of a few sites out on the Turquoise trail too

    @touchnova Thanks for watching my friend! The Ojito Wilderness is an awesome place in the fall. Temperatures are cooler and its more enjoyable when hiking and roaming around. If Chaco Canyon is on your list, I would highly recommend putting "The Bisti Badlands" on there too. It's only 30 miles outside of Chaco Canyon and The Bisti Badlands looks like somthing not of this earth, time, or age! I hope to do a video of it soon.

    I love Ojito... Ojito and Jemez are by far some of the most beautiful land, in not only New Mexico, but the entire US

    @CrazyTaileZ Awesome info - I've not yet visited Chaco, despite many trips to the southwest over the past 7 years. I'll definitely be visiting on this coming trip however, adding Bisti Badlands to the list for sure...awesome! Thanks for the tips man, much appreciated.

    Thanks for watching! The stove in this video is called the SOTO Micro Regulator Stove. This stove uses the fuel more efficiently than the Snow Peak Giga Power stove and has a great flame pattern. It's designed to work very well in extremely cold weather. My giga power stove is still being used and it's still my favorite 3 season stove, but I thought I would show folks the SOTO micro regulator stove in action on a normal summer day.

    Thanks for watching! Each song is a different guitarist. The songs and artists are in order of play: Jason Gregory - Mole in the Ground
    Jaquie Gipson - Hide N Seek.
    Al Stewart - Ivich.
    John James and Pete Berryman - Sky In My Pie.

    The "Wind Mill" site eh? I don't have any intel on this but it sounds interesting! I will have to do some research on this and see if I can get some info on it. I know of the Dinosaur dig site that is just past the big Ojito Wilderness sign on the right side of the main road and also the Hoodoo trail hike further up the road also on the right side of the main road. If I get any info, I'll definitely pass it on to you. With a little luck, I hope to do an overnighter this weekend in Ojito!

    Had to watch again was well worth it , Now did you have to pack all your water in or did you have a source to top off at along the way . I used to love seeing the lights of Albuquerque as I came down I 40 at night when I was a OTR Driver

    for sure, btw curious if you know where the "Wind Mill" site is out in Ojito? I know it's on that main road headed towards Cabezon, but i don't know where exactly it is. If you have any info that can help me I'd greatly appreciate it! My fiance and I want to go fossil hunting out there
