I love that you rode a camel! You are so much fun. I met you there that day, and talked to you a bit about how much I love your videos. One of your videos never pops up in my UA-cam feed without me watching! It was fun meeting you, and I appreciate your videos so much!
Great video, I have been going to Quartzsite for 2 years & I wasn't aware of most of the things you covered but I will definitely be checking them out next time. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I love how you just do things for the sake of doing them. Even if they're cliche "tourist-y" things, you enjoy them with no shame. The geodes last video, camel riding this time. It's so fun!
@@SUVRVing Yes, appreciated that very much, too, as the cliche' tourist-y' things are what most people would do if visiting and it is nice to get your take on them.
My Great Grandfather was drafted into WW1 and WW2. He handled Camels In further efforts to make use of these beasts, I think during WW2 somewhere in the south west deserts. I remember hearing about many locations from his stories from his decades as a rock hound in the area, but I believe the Camel years were in Twentynine Palms. Ol Shorty didn’t have much good to say about the experience. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you
I recently moved to Utah, from western Canada (career path reasons), I own a 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road, that is my dedicated overland/touring rig. I just took delivery of a new Broncor Raptor, which is definitely my trail toy. My 2019 4Runner has the Magnuson supercharger, King Shocks, my favorite trusty tire, 33" KO2s. A rather simple dual battery, inverter setup, with an additional lithium ion generator for extra overnight power (especially where I don't sleep long lol), that can be charged when i run the vehicle, or be charged via "shore power" anywhere. It can use solar charging, if really needed. The dual battery setup is great, but buying that lithium ion generator changed everything 110% lol. I wish I had thought of it before spending on a dual battery system lol I recently discovered your channel and loving it, so far! Thanks again!
Of all the nomads' videos of Quartzsite, you showed lots of things I hadn't seen on any other channels. I have seen a video by RVerTV telling the story of Hi Jolly, but never seen or heard of 'geoglyphs' (sp?) there or the petroglyphs in that area, or the camel rides or the alignment. You're sure correct that many people pass by these things, or perhaps just take them for granted that everyone knows about them.
If you think it is bumpy, wait until you go up or down a hill/sand dune riding a camel. It is also pretty scary and uncomfortable if you mount a camel when they are sitting down and then they get up to start walking, and when they finish the ride and sit down for you to dismount. It is for this reason this company built the little tower to mount and dismount, and had you riding on a flat surface. Of course for those that ride camels on a regular basis, it is as familiar as it is for you riding a bicycle, but for those that are not regular camel riders it is a very unique experience.
I'm an AZ native from Tucson, but love Quartzsite in the winter. The quirkiness, the fun and most of all the lovely interesting people from all over the country that quickly become friends.
As usual, you do not disappoint my Saturday morning routine. When I saw the Q in your thumbnail, I said to myself, "He went to Quartzsite!". Not a place I can get any of my out of state family visitors excited over to visit. Even my husband doesn't get very excited over. Too hot in summer too many "snowbirds" in winter.😏 I like the overlooked and under-appreciated description, because that's what it is.🙂
Along the Oregon coast is Sand Dunes Nat'l park or seashore. Just north of the town of Florence along Hwy 101 was a piece of private property with a sign "Lawrence of Florence". He provided camel rides in the nearby sand dunes (not nat' parkland). Now I live in Lake County, Calif. In this county is a camel rescue facility. You can camp at this private facility to "commune with the camels".
I just found your channel and just wanted to tell you how much I really enjoy it. I love to travel but due to mobility issues I'm not able to do a lot of the hiking and more remote places that I would love to. This was really great, I love your filming style, it makes me feel like I'm right there with you. I enjoy the calmness and serenity of not having all the background music and all the nonsense like some of the other creators have. I like the drone footage also. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm out there on a nice peaceful hike but with a narrator. I'm still traveling but now I feel like I'm getting to see all the out of the way places I would have to miss otherwise.
Thanks for the mini tour of Quartzsite. 😊Loved your camel 🐪 ride & history of the camel brigade. Drones are priceless when it comes to showing the ground art & how perfect people have made it without seeing it from above. Great adventure, Tristan 👍🏻😃
I rode a camel in India many years ago. I found the ride fun as you did. The hard part was the up and down as you started from ground level. When the camels stand up with their hind legs first, and then their front legs. So the jolt up is kind of two steps. One you're leaning forward a lot, and the second half you feel like you're being thrown back; and a similar adventure at the end of the ride. The operator in Quartzsite was smart to build an elevated ramp.
Hi there. There is a podcast called against the odds that went into detail about the book sheletons on the Zahara. I recognized the narrative when you was talking about it... Thank you from the Blue ridge parkway VA. for your wonderful videos
Great video about Quartzsite's hidden gems, you mostly only see things related to all of the snowbirds camping all over the desert, the big RV show or the gem show. It's was good to see something interesting for a change!
A few years ago I saw a documentary about similar geographic sites in Europe. The arrows at those sites were how the indigenous people marked routes to water. Since there were what appeared as fish in both areas you visited, maybe it was the same idea of the indigenous people here.
Really enjoyed this and the drone shots made such a difference to what one can view standing there beside the drawings. So many interesting things to discover in this world and only one life to do so 🙂
Tristan Livin the Dream! Love the cheesy smile on the camel ride. Camels are such beautiful creatures-never knew they were here in the US. Thanks for including us on your adventures 👍🏼👍🏼
You are a gem. Your videos are adventurous and my favorite channel of unknown adventures of petroglyph sitings and hikes, such as the information of Jolly. Your videos are intriguing. Love your videos so much. ❤️🚐✌️🌙
Wow. I see so much more than just an arrow. There used to be a lot more to this. I can see other symbols that are faded, but they are there. At 3:11, I see what looks like bricks. Did that mound used to have structures on it? They used to have Camel rides at Fort Lucinda, by Hoover Dam, when I was a kid. Lamas too. It was a lot of fun. I think I can see other writing on the ground, where the "Quartzite" stones are,(at 19:51) to the left or directly in front of your car, and above your car. Those lines do not look natural or from off roaders. There's quite a few of them. Great video. Can't wait for the next one! Thank You!
I Really enjoy your videos. I"ve seen a bunch of those grinding holes in the San Jacinto Mts. in southern Calif. and I even found a large one along the Truckee River in downtown Reno! Fun to discover that stuff.
I went for a camel ride last year when I was in Q. It was an amazing experience, and we’ll worth the price! I’m so glad you enjoyed it as well. The camels are super friendly and seem to be well taken care of. Thanks for another great video.
Wow Tristin! We are camped near the Petroglyphs you showed. We are at the Tyson Wash LTVA Wish we got to meet you Quartzite is such a fun quirky town. We are having a relaxing winter out here at the LTVA Don’t forget Silly Al’s for Pizza 🍕 Enjoy AZ 🌵 Let us know if you are doing any meet ups. Love your channel
At the Quartzsite Rock Alignment, I believe the "couple of parallel lines" at the end indicate the mileage to Quartzsite, i.e. 11 miles. Great video as usual, especially the camel ride part and the story of Hi Jolly.
Thanks for another Saturday morning adventure, Tristan. Quartzsite is a strange adventure. There's the biggest McDonald's I've ever seen, all the strange winter commerce, and those buildings made of cloth. People from all over North America escaping the snow, buying and selling stuff.
Another great video! Another viewpoint on Quartzsite😊. Thanks for sharing. Camel ride looked like you really enjoyed it. Every Saturday my husband says does Tristan have another video. we are regulars now.
Thanks for showing places of interest around Quartzite. I have passed by multiple times without stopping, having no idea of the locations of historic interest.
I had a similar camel ride in Israel about 30 years ago. The camel was kneeling for the mount and the dismount. The ride itself was fine, but the when it stood up and when it went back to the kneeling position was a little terrifying.
There are a couple ghost towns in the area. I remember I was out there about 25 years ago Swansea and Planet are two that I remember I believe there was a training area where Patton’s troops were trained for the desert or fair in North Africa.
Lots of quirky and fun stuff in AZ for sure. Worked north of this area back in 1980. Also an amazing area for hikes and sights. I can't believe I've been misspelling Quartzsite for all these years always thinking it was the same as the quartzite rock. Doh!
What an interesting video around Quartzsite. The petroglyphs were particularly interesting but the camel ride! What an unexpected bucket list item to cross off...pretty cool.
Never knew about the tyson wash petroglyphs. The other intaglio is about 13 miles down Plomosa Rd. Outside Bouse. Webthink arrow was pointing to Colorado River.
That is very interesting. Where I live in Dayton, NV there is also a historical marker for Camels in Dayton. Used in the mining camps? Marker in front of an 1880s Livery Stable.
Very cool, Tristan! I never new about the history of Quartzite and surrounding areas. Thanks once again for taking us along. Also, the drone footage was very helpful! I always enjoy your vids-keep them coming! 👍🏻
I watch Rver,tv whose channel is based in Quartzite! That's how I know about High Jollythe nameQuartzsite,the Native American drawing and several other things; Loved your camel ride,!❤😂
Being a retired pilot, no where near old enough to have actually used anything like this, but I do remember reading about the mail pilots, a VERY DANGEROUS JOB, and I believe those rocks are a navigator system for them. They used things like this and they even used very bright lights to guide them through mountain passes at night. In fact one mountain lighted airway was still used in the early 1960s. Of course it has been gone a long time.
Another great video Tristan. Years ago I read the book Skeletons On The Zahara. To me it was a sort of horror story. What happened to those shipwreck survivors was terrifying. But I get that you would be inspired to ride the camel because of the book. I have learned a good deal about T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, and that has always made me desire to ride a camel. It looked like fun.
Yes, I stopped there on the way back to Tucson. I think the circle on the mountain is horrible I don’t like when people deface a mountain. I don’t like it to be honest The other stuff is very interesting. I’ve seen that as well. Nice video.😊
Possibly the wavy lines in the Tyson Wash Petros depict or warn of flash floods in that wash?? In other words, camp elsewhere. The camel ride was pretty cool...
I've spent three winters in Q and have only been to the Hi Jolly Monument and the camel rides. I've actually gone to the Blythe Intaglios but neither of the geoglyphs or the alignment in Q. I didn't get to go to Q this past winter, Jan 24, but I was actually there when you filmed this. I hope to make it back winter of 24-25, Maybe I will see you there. There is some more war training type stuff out there in that area too.
I appreciate that you created a video that emphasized the more everyday attractions of the Quartzsite area. At some point you might check out the Blythe Intaglios on Hwy 95 north of Blythe as well as the Bouse Fisherman, a much smaller creation on Plomosa Road about a mile on the west side of Quinn Pass. I have seen all of them and they are worth the effort.
I find it remarkable that something as delicate as the rock art has remained all these years and not been destroyed. Thank you for the tour.
It is amazing! Thanks for watching, Dianna
A lot of it has been destroyed or defaced. The vandals can't even come up with anything more original than their initials.
@@fishingthelist4017 so sad.

There are mortar holes like the ones in this video in Big Bend National Park on the Rio Grande Village Nature Trail.

The camel ride was so cool. I like tourist-y selfie with a big grin. The drone gave a great view of the ground art. Great video!
That kid was really knowledgeable about camels. You can sense that he cares about them, too.
Yeah, both the owner and the kid working the stall both loved the camels. It was nice to see
My favorite part was your selfie on the camel (with screaming children "YAY!!!!")
😁
Lots of people do Quartzsite videos. But you do it best. Very informative. Thanks...
Joan

I love the aerial shots. Down towards the bottom right looks like a small horse with a guy wearing a Sombrero. Thank you
Definitely did not expect to see you riding a camel today !! good episode :)
That was a really good video and I really do appreciate all the effort and hard work that went into making something like this
Loved the selfie of you riding the camel! Always enjoy your petroglyphs. Thanks for another great adventure video!
Thanks Tracy!

Very well could be. Thanks Michael!
Yes if you look at the maps, the arrow points to the wash
The arrow points across the valley to another intaglio site. And yes its a fish.
Really enjoyed this and the drone shots made such a difference to what one can view standing there beside the drawings. So many interesting things to discover in this world and only one life to do so 🙂

Guess you've got to go back next year! 😁
You were in my front and back yard. I’ve been here about 5 months, 1st time here. It’s very unique with a special feeling.
It's a fun place to explore, for sure!
Thanks for the tour Tristan. I've driven past Quartzsite but didn't stop. I'll stop next time through.
Great! 😁

Very interesting. Good drone shots

I did not know about the camels. If they are in Q next winter I will defiantly get a ride. Thanks!
That was most enjoyable! Thank you
How cool is that. Same thing that people are doing on Hwy 50 in the salt fields pass Fallon going East.
Thank you Tristan!
What an interesting video around Quartzsite. The petroglyphs were particularly interesting but the camel ride! What an unexpected bucket list item to cross off...pretty cool.
I had a great time 😁
Thank You, Tristan for another fantastic video!
Thanks!
Thanks again Tristan.
Good video. I've been to Quartzite, I didn't know about all this stuff. Kinda like the lines at Nazca
I walked to the top of Q Mountain. The other side is a little more demanding .Fun day
🐫Excellent video, Tristan! Another new favorite. 🐪
Great video, loved the camel ride, like so many, been by there many times; never knew about the petroglyphs 😎⭐️🤩
Hi Tristan! I can see the Q from my camper!
Marvelous! Beautiful! Glad you went for camel ride.👍👍🤗
Love the camel ride.
Never knew about the tyson wash petroglyphs. The other intaglio is about 13 miles down Plomosa Rd. Outside Bouse. Webthink arrow was pointing to Colorado River.
That is very interesting. Where I live in Dayton, NV there is also a historical marker for Camels in Dayton. Used in the mining camps? Marker in front of an 1880s Livery Stable.

Those intaglios are rather intriguing :-)
Were those bullet holes in the petroglyphs? Another "winner" of a video. Keep at it!
The rock depicts hunting equipment 👍
Southwestern az is like a completely different planet. It's stunning views with a really different kinda vibe.
wow vary interesting never knew that was there,thanks again for a great time ❤
Another great video! Thanks Tristan!
I watch Rver,tv whose channel is based in Quartzite! That's how I know about High Jollythe nameQuartzsite,the Native American drawing and several other things; Loved your camel ride,!❤😂
Try the Kofa Mt Wilderness.
Being a retired pilot, no where near old enough to have actually used anything like this, but I do remember reading about the mail pilots, a VERY DANGEROUS JOB, and I believe those rocks are a navigator system for them. They used things like this and they even used very bright lights to guide them through mountain passes at night. In fact one mountain lighted airway was still used in the early 1960s. Of course it has been gone a long time.
Another great video Tristan. Years ago I read the book Skeletons On The Zahara. To me it was a sort of horror story. What happened to those shipwreck survivors was terrifying. But I get that you would be inspired to ride the camel because of the book. I have learned a good deal about T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, and that has always made me desire to ride a camel. It looked like fun.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing
Yes, I stopped there on the way back to Tucson. I think the circle on the mountain is horrible I don’t like when people deface a mountain. I don’t like it to be honest The other stuff is very interesting. I’ve seen that as well. Nice video.😊
Possibly the wavy lines in the Tyson Wash Petros depict or warn of flash floods in that wash?? In other words, camp elsewhere. The camel ride was pretty cool...
I have an actual first person account of shipwrecked sailors off the coast of northern Africa similar to your book!
There’s a lot more to Quartzsite you will find on RVer TV on UA-cam.
I've spent three winters in Q and have only been to the Hi Jolly Monument and the camel rides. I've actually gone to the Blythe Intaglios but neither of the geoglyphs or the alignment in Q. I didn't get to go to Q this past winter, Jan 24, but I was actually there when you filmed this. I hope to make it back winter of 24-25, Maybe I will see you there. There is some more war training type stuff out there in that area too.
I was in Quartzsite last dec 2020-Apr 2021. I didn't know those native sites existed. Would have been interesting to visit. Great video
I rode a camel with my granddaughter. It’s a different experience. 😁
Hunting and fishing this way!
I appreciate that you created a video that emphasized the more everyday attractions of the Quartzsite area. At some point you might check out the Blythe Intaglios on Hwy 95 north of Blythe as well as the Bouse Fisherman, a much smaller creation on Plomosa Road about a mile on the west side of Quinn Pass. I have seen all of them and they are worth the effort.
I both mention the Blythe Intaglios and show the Bouse Fisherman in this video lol
Indeed you do. Have you also told the story of Thomas Bouse anywhere?
I saw that mine at the y/t channel ""Campulance man'",he camps out there every winter !
Things like that always make me think why so visible from the air and not the ground🤔. Take care man✌
