      Actually I can tell from the breed, these are genetically modified cows. Their genome has been rewritten in such a way that their prey instincts have been replaced with the desire to be eaten. The reason they were following him around is because they wanted him and his dog to make hamburgers and brisket out of them.

Before I discoved this genre of exploration on UA-cam, I was exploring the planet via the satellite images. Then using Street views to see inside cities and along highways. But those don't take you into places like this. And via those Satellite searches I discovered you young people doing this. This my first one of yours. Looking forward to more.

    Looks like a giant granite batholith surrounded by the desert expanse of Arizona. Morning sunlight makes a haunting but
    beautiful calendar like landscape view. Your personage with shadow shows how huge the rocks really are in perspective. Never seen a photo of this area before. Amazing drone footage, the best yet Nolan! Cows were getting lonely.

    I am so happy for you that your surgeries evidently were successful!!!!

    Sunrise was amazing. And on that day, your drone work improved dramatically. Maybe you were tired or felt rushed as the day was ending the day before, but you're 2nd day drone work was better. Especially when you showed the sunrise with the zoom lens and then flew the drone to and away from the sun. You were using the drone to tell stories, and that was a far better use of that camera in the sky. I like your videos. You're getting better and I enjoy what you're doing. Subscribed! :)

    with all the places in the world to be, and increeping age, i will probably never get here in person, so i am grateful for the tour. i would have stopped an appreciated all the same things, so thanks for the exploratory ramble! the drone footage is such a beautiful addition. that standing stone at 16 min blew my mind! and the giant slab, the sunset and rise and and and… also really appreciate the wind only soundtrack. the utter peace of these wild places and how us little humans can get in touch with the immensity of our universe is what i most treasure about being in places like this in person. thanks again. ps the cows thought you were bringing food. out on the range its pretty much the only time they see humans so its a big connection for them. they are also just curious animals in general, i loved hanging with my cows back when i had them, but the first few times it definetely is freaky to see a herd of large animals running at you with no barricade in place. lone bulls on the other had can be another matter, be cautious around them!

    I just came across your channel. What an adventure you took us on! Thank you so much. Since as a child, I’ve always been intrigued with our planet’s formation. Going on drives on a highway and all of the sudden one finds themselves driving through some man made canyon where one can see the ‘flow’ of rocks, sometimes different colors, that move in a wave formation and your brain says, how in the hell did that happen. Those were some of my childhood memories that made me love the science of geology! Your video work is amazing and your insights on how all of these earthly structures were created and destroyed were well done Thanks Nolan. I envy your dedication and quest for adventure. I’m old but I still have it in me to get out there and enjoy this Holyland we call Mother Earth! Thank you so much! 😊🏔️🥾❤️👍
