    My first experience with Goldfield was driving through at night. I could tell there was a town but there were so few lights on in any of the structures that it was very eerie. And then I drove by the massive, dark Goldfield Hotel. Very trippy and weird. I visited later that year take photos of the town in daylight. Hard to believe it's a county seat!

    Montezuma’s well in AZ (just off of I-17) is similar to the punch bowl. It was a cavern with an underground spring until the roof collapsed. There are cliff dwellings there and a stairway leading to the bottom. The water doesn’t have any oxygen in it, so not a lot of life, but the natives believe it to be sacred. The water leaves through a small crevice near the bottom of the stairs and the natives hand-hewed a canal to water their crops. Great spot to visit.

    Next time you see horses running like that ... can you chase them with the drone? That would be awesome! You could act like you're shooting ... an old western. Very nice video.

    Wow those pictographs really caught my attention and gave me a feeling of the depiction of a catastrophe. 19:20 seemed to depict fireball and fire on the land 19:30 gives me the impression of a meteor shower and chaos 19:40 looks to depict the sun, mars on the other side, Venus and the Earth with the moon, these are visible in the night sky. After when you mentioned it was more of a shelter, it gave some confirmation to my initial gut feeling.
