@@RocksForBrains I will be sending you crystals either this weekend or next. Thank you so much. I am working on new stuff for a FB group page and possibly a UA-cam Channel. "Rock On"! 🤓🤭🤗
I'm not done watching this video yet, but this is great content. The same can be said for all the other videos of yours I've watched. You definitely have a great channel and shared your video. I live in WA state and we have a ton of basalt up here. I've been to Arizona a few times and always enjoyed the geology. It's amazing how much this area looks like most of WA state.
Maayyyyybe.....lol. In this particular location I think there's more bobcats than mountain lions but it's not impossible. I'm always aware of my surroundings just in case. :p
@@mrrey8937 it’s just experience. I’ve lived here 10 years and have been hiking around a lot. In areas where there are more likely to be bears or mountain lions I take other precautions. 😋
@@RocksForBrains - well done in any case!! Im not sure what I'll do when I eventually drive across the US to see burro creek. You'll know its me if you see a guy walking around in the desert bush with his head swiveling around behind him every 3 seconds left to right while trying to walk faster and faster. LOL and when you finally beg the question, who's that village idiot out there, you will suddenly know.......oh its that internet guy who said........
@@mrrey8937 In Burro Creek it’s the rattlers you gotta watch out for. 😉 You’ll be fine, just bring lots of water and don’t put your hands under or in any rock crevices. Have fun!
I think you can use drones there because it’s national forest. Would have to check the regs to be sure though. Check out the google earth images around Flagstaff. 😁
@@RocksForBrains Will do, and I will look into the rgs for national parks as well because I thought it was set so you cant monetize filming and/or depends on airspace but I could be wrong considering they could be considered disturbing to nature. Cool vid though. Oh BTW, check the table for announcement pls, I added you to some stuff and will be adding some of your vids to the community playlist I have going. Cheers!
@@TheRogueRockhound thanks! National Park sites are definitely a no go for drones. I would contact each site about filming too because the recent court case might have changed some stuff. National Forests are dept of agriculture so the rules are a bit different than parks. Always a good idea to check first just like you said though. 😁👍🏻
@@RocksForBrains great info, I sometimes go to the Cascade-Siskiyou national park to fly but never end up doing it because I just wander around looking at cool stuff. Really kinda sucks that we cant fly but I get it. I suppose I'll have to be happy w/ my local areas huh ^^
That’s my best guess. There’s another verified squeeze up inside sunset crater volcano national monument that looks very similar but that one is between two other rocks so 🤷🏼♀️. Your bag of rocks from here will be on the way very soon btw. 😁
@@CurrentlyRockhounding it may be a few more than a few, but not a lot. 😉 Whatever you don’t want feel free to give away and share the volcano love. 👍🏻
The roughest basaltic lava is known as a’a (Ah Ah) lava which like you expected cools slowly and is more gaseous. The rope like lava is pahoehoe (pah hoe ay hoe ay) which comes from a more viscous hotter flow.
Yes! There’s so many colors of lichen out here. I have seen bright orange, gray, lime green, white, and red. It’s one of the things breaking down these rocks over time. 😁👍🏻
I really enjoy your vids. I'm a new subscriber and really like the in the moment type of presentation, instead of something that is super manufactured looking. Thank you!
If anyone can tell me where to buy or enquire about ethically/legally collected. high quality chunks of Pahoehoe type lava with ropes visible that would be swell. we have many volcanoes where i am (NZ) but no clean surface flows. great video anyway :) oh and the science name for squeeze ups is tumulus or tumuli
It’s probably difficult to verify things found online but in the US in most national forests or bureau of land management lands it’s ok to collect rocks. How smooth do you want it? Also, thanks for the geology term. I’m definitely using that now. 😁👏🏻
@@RocksForBrains smooth enough to recognise as pahoehoe basically. i'm not in the USA but was hoping you knew of people who had plates/chunks from surface flows.
@@haperawehiwehi8661 I don’t see a lot of that kind out here but there should be some. That coil shaped piece in the video might count. If I come across any more I’ll let you know. Send me an email so I have your contact. Rocksforbrainschannel@gmail.com
Thanks for sharing your basaltic explorations! The "progenitor rock" at 25:00 was my favorite. Great views from the rim too! Great job! Very educational!
So interesting to see the lava formations. And I enjoyed your explanation of the lava patterns/activities, etc. And a "rusty volcano" made me laugh.
Rusty, and crusty. ;)
Really enjoyed this adventure. Good video production.
Thank you! I just got a new mic with a wind blocker, so less wind noise in the future too! 😋
Excellent video, learned a lot!!
Thanks! :D
Hey Lauren! Hope ur 👍 good.
You too! Your bag of shiny rocks went out today. 😁👍🏻

That's awesome thank you so much! I hope to make it out to WA some day. The forests are calling. :)
Nice, thanks!! ........Are there cougars out there??

@@RocksForBrains - man!! that is brave!! I'm not used to that, I come from an area of the US where there are none.

That looked like such a fun adventure with some sweet vistas.
I would love to have put my bird in the air to get some aerial views.

hey some cool views some new tree to me, enjoy the video,
Thank you so much for this adventure!
7:23 that sure looks like a squeeze up to me, granted I have never seen one in person before. Lava bombs are soooo on my rockhounding bucket list.
That’s my best guess. There’s another verified squeeze up inside sunset crater volcano national monument that looks very similar but that one is between two other rocks so 🤷🏼♀️. Your bag of rocks from here will be on the way very soon btw. 😁
@@RocksForBrains Awesome! Don't send too much, just few small samples is all I need : ) thank you so much.
@@CurrentlyRockhounding it may be a few more than a few, but not a lot. 😉 Whatever you don’t want feel free to give away and share the volcano love. 👍🏻
You should check out St. Helens sometime, it's active and super awesome! Easy 4 hour hike to top
That would be awesome!
A nice calming video. There are juniper trees just like those in the high desert of Oregon. Thanks a lot for taking us along on the hike.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁
Thanks for the walk and your literate narrative, see you soon.
The roughest basaltic lava is known as a’a (Ah Ah) lava which like you expected cools slowly and is more gaseous. The rope like lava is pahoehoe (pah hoe ay hoe ay) which comes from a more viscous hotter flow.
Great view of all the different rocks in the area!
Is the bright yellow splash of color on the red rocks lichen?
Yes! There’s so many colors of lichen out here. I have seen bright orange, gray, lime green, white, and red. It’s one of the things breaking down these rocks over time. 😁👍🏻

Thanks! This is definitely unscripted lol. I have a vague plan but I roll with whatever happens along the way. 😁
Great video
Love getting out and exploring
You never know what your going to find out there
Thanks for the Northern AZ Adventure
Thanks for watching. 😁👍🏻

Ha! I had to look up what you meant by that. I like the term though; new vocab word. 😜 I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching. 👍🏻
