You did a great job, sir, including your super-power sound effect jumping off the rock. That clay "head" could be from leftover mortar that someone rolled into a ball just for giggles and grins and now you found it after all these years. That's pretty trippy, huh.
I like the whole experience. I feel like I am right beside you on your walks and rock climbing. Then I feel like a bird soring with your drone looking down on the earth.
The trek planner mentioned your channel a few days ago. Now that I've watched maybe a dozen or so, have your videos. I just want to say you're an awesome young man. Keep up the great work. Thanks for taking us/me on your adventures.
Another very interesting geologic location! As you said, it looks bone dry but with so much vegetation, it must get fairly regular rain. Enjoyed the video!
I wonder if the clay ball could have been used for cooking the way that heated stones were, or maybe part of game that was played. I always love the drone videos. Awesome video as always!
I liked the idea of a hypothetical smashed pot based upon the numerous and similar potsherds located within close proximity to each other. I wonder, was it dropped? Thrown? Or just a random accumulation of fragments. Great video. Keep exploring!
Thank you! I always wonder if a pot would have dropped, or broken later as the tribe was leaving? Often the sherds are from the garbage pile where they threw in the things that were no longer used.
6:56 or there abouts might have been hand made sling ammo. Not sure, but i read somewhere that American natives used slings too. Easy to make, lots of ammo around and easy to make them of sundried clay. Plus, if you make them yourself, they become a more consistant weapon. Very few survive because of the materials don't survive.
The first square of quartz in your video next to your early sherd had visible shiny on it. I think your exploration is fantastic and what I hope to be able to do someday too. I love it.
Yeah, this is Granite, and it was formed from the Earth's crust cooling magma and the granitic rocks were then uplifted to the surface as the volcanic mountains above them eroded away. Thank you!
Great presentation as always. One thing though. It is likely me but does anybody think this video is oversaturated compared to other videos here? I fiddled with my settings to no avail. I'm thinking it's the tan rock's rough surface and the sun messing with the pixels.
@@ruinsandridges You're welcome. Like I said, this was the first time where at least I saw a difference. The hardest part is you don't know what you recorded and how it looks until after you get home.
You scare me with your jumping off the rocks. I say this from safety perspective and experience. My son, just a little older than you, was on a science field trip to a nature preserve and jumped off a rock like you did thinking it was just sandy/pebbly soil and when he landed just under the surface was a really round rock the size of a adult fist and he broke his ankle in two places. He was lucky it was easy for the EMTs to get him out. You (and your parents) are in much more remote and much higher less accessible locations and elevations. By all means have fun, be a kid, explore everything. This is just something to think about going forward.
Love the terrain and views!
Beautiful place!
Thanks and be safe out there!
Yes, Thank you. 👍
Loved this one! Mostly because of the nice hike to get there and how you were explaining things along the way!
Thank you!
Thank you young sir! My favorite part is going along with you. Your curiousity is our benefit!.
Thank you!
Great videos keep exploring and having fun
Thanks!
This was terrific!
I remember when my knees used to work like that...
Your videos just get better & better. Thanks!
And we "sherd" you loud & clear. 👏
Yes! Thank you!
Liked the jumping off boulders and the lookout point.
Thank you for letting me know!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures with exploring. As a Michigander, I really enjoy exploring with you. 😎
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Your parents must be very proud of you. You're discovering the truth about how doing what you love will make for a happier life.
Thank you!

Thank you very much! Yes, that was not a sound effect. Lol. And yeah, that clay ball was interesting.
I like the whole experience. I feel like I am right beside you on your walks and rock climbing. Then I feel like a bird soring with your drone looking down on the earth.
Glad you enjoy my adventures. Thank you!
Wow, amazing formations and drone shots! Loved it. 💯
Thanks do much!
Good camera work on the summit
Thank you! It was very windy.

Awesome! Thank you! 🙂
Great area you found. I like the ground and drone footage. Do you think the area could have been for seasonal pinion nut gathering?
Yes, it definitely could have been used for Pinion Nut gathering.
So interesting.
Thank you!
I always like the different types of pottery sherds that you find on your adventures.
Yes, it's very cool to see.
Could say fragments there's no variation of that word. I love your videos!
Yes, that is a good word. Thank you!

Great Video ❤️🤍💙
Thanks so much!!
My favorite part was you crawling under that fence 🤣🤣 That's dedication!
LOL, yes lots of cattle fences and obstacles.
I've often wondered how all the different rocks come together out in the dessert, it's like a rainbow of rocks out there.
Yeah, this is Granite, and it was formed from the Earth's crust cooling magma and the granitic rocks were then uplifted to the surface as the volcanic mountains above them eroded away. Thank you!

Thank you for watching!
Some springs only run in summer/ winter. That looks like it is tapped and used privately
It could be, it seems mainly used for ranchers cattle now.

I did not saturate or adjust the image. Weird. Thank you for letting me know!
