    Great story, especially about the drone and your detective work in tracking down the owner in Switzerland and returning his memory card. Great story with a happy ending.

    I couldn't believe when I first got the news that someone found it after so many years, it's incredible.
    Im definitely planning to come back to Arizona one day, would love to go on adventures with you.
    Thank you very much for finding and returning the memmory card.

      That is so nice of you! Thank you very very much! I appreciate the kind donation. Yes, I was surprised to see it was still there and that the memory card was still working. Yes, if you are ever in Arizona, I would love to go on an adventure with you! 🙂

    At 8:08 I said that the tree was a Shaggy Bark Juniper, but it is actually an Arizona Cypress. My mistake, Lol. Thank you for watching!

    Going down would be the hardest for me! Going up is easy, going down, well you can’t fight gravity! Lol
    Thanks to dad also!
    Stay safe out there!

    Young fellow, I'm easily old enough to be your grandfather. And I say....never stop adventuring. Enjoy your young, strong body as long as you can. Do the highroutes. The hard trails. The thru hikes. Whatever calls to you and know that there's someone cheering you on.

    Do you watch the desert drifter or the Trex video alot like you and they are two of the others I watch because I enjoy history and historical sites. So glad I found you today. Thank you for taking me along.

    Didn't the Park Service say to knock down all the cairns you see?? Did you knock them down? I'm also so happy to see you with a helmet now. You truly are a delight to watch and so knowledgeable. Thanks for taking me along again!!

    • @rapson672
      @rapson672 12 днів тому +2

      Guess cairns are better than defacing Indian art ! people think they have to say I've been here like anyone cares. Maybe they would be cool with their headstone being defaced ?

    Hey Cody. Nice climb really cool you found the drones owner. Even more surprising where he was from. Just shows you that you never know what you might find on a climb.

      Oh, I am not Cody. Cody is my friend with whom I hiked before. I am Luke. Thank you! Yes, seeing the drone was cool. But yes, check out Cody's channel at Codiac Studios. 🙂
