The geology in this area is pretty special. I would think the holes would be very popular with birds, and other animals in the lower holes. There was a spur trail on the map we had that went to the summit, although we never found it. I like climbing these little mountains. It was a bit more difficult than it looks in the video. Thanks, Max!
The plateau on top of the mountain was huge. Maybe it was used for something. There are cliffs around much of mountain and only a couple ways to get up there. It would be easy to defend. Thanks for the comment, Frank!
We spent the whole winter in the desert so the whole virus event didn't have a big affect on us. There were no people around where we were. Hope you can get out soon. Thanks for the kind words!
Julie sure looked "NAKED" w/o her "trekking" poles made me think it was guna be a "HO-HUM" vid compared to Mine Exploring! But she redeemed herself " ha! ha! what a Great Little Trip" Kool!
i cant believe we never saw the rock art, have been there so many times// love the rings loop/ barber peak loop is much longer and also pretty neat, have not done the peak yet/ Awesome views, Roxana is really liking this one too we may have to get up there sometime. good to see you getting into the Preserve, one of our favorite areas.
We like the Preserve, too. I've seen a couple of your videos of this area. Barber Peak is a good challenge, with a huge plateau on top. The petroglyphs are near the start of the loop trail. Thanks, Thorn!
It is interesting seeing all that ancient art work on the rocks. I have never seen any of that in person myself, but I’ve always been intrigued by it. The only thing I’ve seen are the mortreos (spelling?) which were the small grinding holes they wore into slabs of rock so they could grind their corn and stuff like that.
That is some good ancient art work. There is more there that I didn't show. I know what you mean about the holes worn into rock from grinding. Those are cool, too. Thanks, Frank!
Below the "nifty arch" to the right was what looked to be the figure of a human face in the rock. Really cool. The beautiful vistas make me miss being out West. In my limited experience hiking outside of Tucson I recall getting some quills from cactus or some plants that were painful, and you can barely see them in your skin. The locals said to use duct tape to pull them out, which worked. I don't know what native people did, or even in the olden days of the Frontier, but I assumed that's why cowboys in those desert areas wore chaps. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?
Someone else pointed out the face in the rock, too. Good eye! I didn't even notice it. Almost all the plants that survive in the desert want to poke or stick you. We carry a stiff hair comb to help remove pieces of the many types of cholla cactus. When you accidentally brush against one a piece can come off and stick in your skin or clothing. They have barbs on the needles that really stick to you. The comb makes it easy to flick them off. There are other plants that have needlse so small you can barely see them. I haven't tried duct tape on them, but I might now that you gave me the idea. Thanks for the comment!
Those were amazing holes, in the rocks that Julie (Wilma lol) found and were they man made of a natural occurrence? The scramble up to the rings looked a bit iffy, last place you want to twist an ankle but those rings did provide a nice helping hand up to the top. The climb up to Barber peak looked more trail and error to get there but well worth the effort and All Hail the Queen! Take care, cheers Alan
Those holes are all formed by nature. It's a fun little hike and quite scenic. The climb to the peak was fun, too. Thanks, Alan! I'll have to get over to your channel to see what you've been up to.
I never could get my wife to go out there with me. I wanted to go because it was next to TableTop Mountain. She wouldn't because it was too close to TableTop Mountain. I told her the Mojave Incident story and ever since then she would never go with me to the Mojave National Preserve period!. I doubt you believe in that kind of stuff but it sure is a spoooooky story. If you are not familiar with the Mojave Incident, check it out, its pretty far out there but entertaining none the less. Dig your videos!!
Thanks for the comment. I wouldn't say there have never been aliens from another planet visiting Earth. I haven't seen any personally. I don't know the whole story but will check it out. The Bermuda Triangle is one place that kind of spooks me. I was just watching a show about it that was saying it was a portal into a different time and space.
@@TomandJulieMineExploring I'm very interested in the paranormal, aliens and stuff. Especially the stuff that takes place in my backyard. I live in Vegas so I read the book cover to cover and watched every podcast I could find. I hope you check that out and enjoy it as much as I did! Your videos are fun to watch and very informative, take care and keep up the great work!!! And thank you for the friendly response!
@@illmsg77 I will definitely check out the Mojave Incident. We spend some time every year boondocking in the Preserve. Some good mines to explore and fun hiking. One fun video of ours from the Preserve is titled Desert Lode Star (not the real mine name). Very fun mine to be in. Thanks for the comment!
Looks like Julie found a little house...one room with a view. Very awesome rock formations. Enjoyed the trip.
That is a cool little one room shelter. Glad that you enjoyed it, David!
Thanks for sharing guys.. Hope you are having a good weekend. Full View and like.. Stay safe..
Thsnks, Allen!
I find these western deserts to be the most beautiful of all land scapes
They do have a rugged beauty to them.
Thank you guys, very much, I enjoyed.
The rock formations there should be popular for birds with all the holes.. Great job on the bushwhack summit of the peak... Very pretty out there.
The geology in this area is pretty special. I would think the holes would be very popular with birds, and other animals in the lower holes.

Thanks, Max!
That is some really nice looking country!
Yes, it's a beautiful area with interesting geology and history. Thanks for watching!
That flat plateau near the end of the video was pretty spectacular! I bet the native Americans used that place for some special purpose.
The plateau on top of the mountain was huge. Maybe it was used for something. There are cliffs around much of mountain and only a couple ways to get up there. It would be easy to defend. Thanks for the comment, Frank!
Another great hiking video!! Thanks for sharing!! Can't wait to get back out into the wilderness again to hike myself.
We spent the whole winter in the desert so the whole virus event didn't have a big affect on us. There were no people around where we were. Hope you can get out soon. Thanks for the kind words!
That loop looked like fun and the summit was nice. Take care and stay safe, Al
Yes, both were fun! Thanks for watching and I hope you are well, Al.
Julie sure looked "NAKED" w/o her "trekking" poles made me think it was guna be a "HO-HUM" vid compared to Mine Exploring! But she redeemed herself " ha! ha! what a Great Little Trip" Kool!
This was a fun one and something different than our usual mine trips. Thanks for the comment, JD!👍👍

Driving that Jeep,, I should have mine this week,,,, have it restored by this time,, next year....
Working on my Jeep right now, too.

Love the nice rocks don't know if there was much on them I couldn't see a lot
Thanks for the comment, Ronnie!
Pretty cool place. Should have filmed a Starwars episode there. If you haven't, go check out the petroglyphs down by Klamath marsh.
Haven’t been there. Thanks for the tip!
Aaaww.❤❤👍🏼
4:04 Face in the rock (lower right corner of the screen).
I see that. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Looks to me like a guy with a mustache? Thanks for the comment!
