Thank you for picking up the trash. I carry a bag to do so on every outing. It does make a difference.

Love being taken along on your adventures and, at 70 years old, I love your jokes.😂

I remember when they discovered the tracks. I was living there at the time, and my bandmates and I hiked up to see them, before any development was done. They were just there, au natural.

What I learned from this video: Steve's jokes are timeless.

Thanks Steve for bringing us along with you yet again. Love that humor even if it's as old as the dinosaurs! Honestly though, you add that special element into your history lessons that keeps us wanting more!

Never stop dropping new videos on Wednesdays. It's such a nice, chill way to watch during lunch and remind me that it's Humpday and we're on our way to the weekend.

Howsit Steve. You have a great channel. Keep on keeping on. Excellent content

"Some of my jokes would only be a few years old" - Steve I died of laughing on this one!

Gorgeous out there...the vastness is amazing. See you next week..❤️

Great video! Us Utahns love leaving trash everywhere. Thank you for picking it up for us.

I have to say that visually, Utah is probably my favorite state! The rock formations & scenery are just incredible! Be safe out there!

Steve, you are the king of dad jokes.

Nowhere must be a pretty big place because wherever you go Steve, you're still in the middle of it. 😂

I love watching both you and Wonderhussy, but you guys post within a minute of each other all the time!

Didn't expect to see a Tardis in the museum, The Doctor must have been looking for Dalek tracks.

I envy you so much, being physically and financially able to travel to such places. I travel vicariously through you and your wife. Thank you.

The dry wash near Fort Pearce had significant foliage throughout the base and edges. As arid as the entire area is there must be a good amount of water flow thru the wash during rainfall and monsoonal seasons I would think. The petroglyphs showed what appeared to be a Gila Monster possibly. No surprise given that desert environment overall. Another fine video, Steve. Thanks for sharing.......🤩

Thanks Steve, I've been by and stayed in St. George Utah many times and didn't know about this fort site and have never been to the dinosaur museum there. Two possible destinations for future dinosaur related things. A very impressive display of many dinosaurs together is at the museum that was built over a dried raised mud bed at the green River in Colorado up past Dinosaur, Colorado. The other major dinosaur place is Fruita and Grand Junction CO. Just inside the border of western Colorado off the I-70 is a place called Rabbit Valley, there is a short walking trail called Walk or journey through time where three complete dinosaur skeletons are embedded in the rock of the walk trail and two of them your have to step on. They are complete head to tail. One at the top of the trail now is missing the skull because it was removed and placed in the museum here in town. In Fruita you can walk a trail that tells you about the shallow sea that was here and see what lived here from fossil record, we had alegators and the largest dinosaur that ever existed in this now high desert. The huge leg bone was removed the the side of the Rock along the easy trail in the early 1900's and taken to a museum in Denver, your can stand up in the space where the leg bone wad removed. Also embedded in rock just sitting on the ground no bigger than a basket ball is a vertebrae of a dinosaur that was found there. A ancient stream bed is now exposed and that is where evidence of the alegator wad found along with some palm frawns left in the fossil record. Fruita Co is well known for it's celebration of its dinosaur heritage with paintings and names of different dinosaurs and a huge T-Rex in the middle of town.

I’ve been following you for several years now. I enjoy all your adventures. A San Diego native, I have been all over the Southwest, having lived in Phoenix, Tucson, ABQ and now Temecula. So, following your treks brings back many memories of which I thank you. I would love to join you on one.

Wonderful scenery and content Steve!

There are lots of great historical sites in Southern Utah. One of my favorites is the site of the Meadow Mountains Massacre. Another are the gold mining camps of Marysvale, in Bullion Canyon. Have fun...

As a fellow San Diego native, i love your videos. And i think your humor is, ageless.

Southern Utah reminds me of my father. He grew up in Knabe on an angora goat ranch, and lovedJohn Ford movies because they were filmed in S Utah. Somewhere around there is a historic site, Jacob Hamblin House, honoring one of our direct ancestors. Always enjoy your videos! It's quite unbelievable how vast and beautiful Southern Utah is - no wonder my father loved it!

I was so excited to see you come to my town. It’s really not that desolate here. Come back again. I love your channel.

OMG, "you bet Jurassic" Steve, your joke game is getting pro level. Sriously. Love the content, always have!

Good one Steve! Great blend of humor and history!

In January, I was four wheeling in the St. George, UT area. I went on a run to the old Babylon Mill. On the way, the trip leader stopped and we hiked a short way to a rock hillside. It was once flat, muddy ground and there were dinosaur footprints in the rock. I signed up to go to Babylon Mill, so the dinosaur tracks were a great, surprise bonus. And as always, I enjoyed your video.

190 million years ago . Unimaginable …for sure ! Great job Steve…..Thanks 🤠👍

Hi Steve I just found your videos a couple of days ago. Since then I have watched 8 or 9 of them. Being that you speak the best and plainest English I have ever heard. Plus with no accent would you mind telling me where you were born and grew up at. I think if you wanted a new job you could be hired as a paid public speaker or a host on a t.v. Show. Or a speaker on the radio. In the mean time I will keep watching your videos . Thanks Robert smith from dagsboro del.

That ending HAHA! Love it. Thanks for sharing, Steve!

I was raised in St. George and have never seen this. So cool.

Boy when you said out in the middle of nowhere, you weren't kidding, besides yourself and your wife, who else is out there, but the desert has it's own beauty that's for sure. THE SARGE

Steve , you did it again awesome video my friend ! THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA........

Thank you for another out of the way trip Steve. Those little lizards certainly do like you Steve. Just about every where you go, you're being escorted by a lizard or two.

Those two small rooms are where they would keep their horse stored. One on each side so they could ride out as you explained.

It does not matter if you agree or disagree with the philosophies of Brigham Young, he was an amazing nation builder. I am not LDS but I am glad you are investigating some Mormon history, especially in near the Arizona-Utah border where there is very little development of civilisation. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Steve, dinosaur fossils always make me speculate about what was.

Good job from the middle of nowhere, as always. We enjoyed the petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks. Thanks for braving the heat.

Steve you and your jokes are priceless.

Around the middle of the state off highway 89, around 5 to 7 miles or so of a hike. Are the big dinosaur tracks. Its not as easy to get into, but worth it. Bring lots of water.

These paleontologists are amazing how they can identify a species from just the tracks.

Thanks again, Steve. Keep up the good work!

I love when my wife groans at Steve's dad jokes!

Glad to see a new Sidetrack Adventures! I've actually been studying the Mormon Battalion, as of late.

As usual. I always love and enjoy your adventures. We ought you we'd never see dinosaur tracks. Without you, I would never see dinosaur tracks. Not to mention how Close, they are to my home.

Can’t wait to double back and watch this tonight!

Thanks! Steve Love the Dinosaur Tracks!🦣

At 2180 Riverside Dr. in St. George is the greatest dinosaur footprint museum you’ll ever see. Mr. Johnson uncovered hundreds on his farm, and they’re preserved there in a museum. You can see clear footprints of many types, marks from tails, and impressions of skin. It’s quite amazing.

So glad I found this channel.

I love your videos, the history and education I get from you! And see places I would never have imagined!! And now in a few weeks, this video will be shown to my 8 yr old Great Grandson, he loves dinosaurs !! Thank you for your videos!! Love all!!

......"some of my jokes would only be a few years old. " Ya got me with that one!

I’m back to the present Professor Steve…teach me like you’ve never taught before!

I always like your choice of background music, which enhances the mood and doesn't compete with your great narratives. As you say, the Mormons and the Federal Government were at odds through most of that period in history. The stones used to construct the fort are really interesting. Appears to be sedimentary rock (which makes sense if there were prehistoric lakes in the area), but it almost looks like fossilized wood. I like that there are protected dinosaur footprints in the museum, and others where you can see them surrounded by open country. I think I'd freak out if I saw a 50 lb. lizard running on two feet. Perhaps an ancestor of the ostrich? Happy 4th to you and all of the other Side-trackers here.

I love your humor 😂!! Keep it up!

Thank you for these wonderful, and beautiful videos. You’re a class act, through and through.

Another great Sidetrack Adventure Steve! Looked hot out there. Looking forward to the next one.

Amazing! Great video, thanks for sharing!🙂

Come for the history, stay for the jokes😊. Love the beauty of the Southwest.

Thanks, Steve! Happy Trails!

Thrilling! Keep it up these tours are fascinating.

When you said The Blackhawk War my first thought was the 1832-35 war in Illinois and Wisconsin that was named after Chief Blackhawk the main Native American leader. This one you are speaking about is new to me. More history to learn.😁

I used to go to Utah every weekend to see my mom and never knew about that place.

That was very cool. Thanks for sharing

Loved this episode. Excellent

Another great explore Steve! When you said your first impression was that the tracks were a lot smaller than you expected, I immediately thought of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood LOL! All those dinosaur actor's tracks were a lot smaller than I expected! And lets face it buddy, our Dad jokes are timeless!

Really cool…. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Steve. Yes, I would jeep out there just to photograph the landscape. The dinos are just a bonus.🙂

There is a very impressive pictograph near the fort too.

Nice video as always, good entertainment! 👍🏼

I never realized there was a second Black Hawk War. I only knew about the one in Illinois.

Great video Steve, amazing history. I used to live in Utah, so much history to explore.

Another great video from you, Steve. Thanks for bringing us more little-known history of our country, along with some Native perspectives not usually shared. The introduction of horses and cattle into a fragile desert environment will have devastating consequences for the animals that Natives depended on, which quickly affected the well-being of the Natives themselves. I recently came across some information about Saint George, Utah and the making of the John Wayne film 'The Conqueror' that would likely interest you if you are unaware of it. But I won't be surprised to find out that was going to be your next video.

Another nice and informative adventure Steve . Your stories are just long enough to contain all the pertinent info, but not so long as to drag! You know how to edit these to just the optimal length .

Hello Steve, Thank you for another great video.

Steve you made me laugh, thank you very much for sharing your experience in souther Utah.

Stop it, too funny. Loving your jokes, Steve. You are definitely correct re the chance to see dinosaur tracks! Especially those in situ outdoors. I'd love to see that.

Great job Steve!

Love your different explorations.

Thanks for sharing.

Great videos. I love history.

very nice easy to listen to.. music a nice complement to good visuals. all calm. and educational. thanks.

You are such a good dude. Love your videos.

So good I watched twice !! 😮😊❤

Hi Steve thanks for the tour

Great video, Steve! By the way, I love your 65 million year old jokes. I live in Utah and had no idea this historical site existed. I'll definitely take a road trip to explore the area. I'll have plenty of time to do it as I officially retire on August 1st. I turn 70 on July 12th. Thanks again and keep up the good work!!!

Hi Steve, another great video. There’s also dinosaur tracks in Navajo Canyon at Lake Powell. Not sure how far of a hike it would be today but when we parked the boat to start our hike up the canyon, Powell was at full pool.

Steve another good one. 👍

Thank you for this video, Steve! Your videos are so entertaining that I enjoy each one. I am glad that the dinosaurs were not around when you visited; would hate for you to be lunch for them.

Another great trip we get to take with you. Thanks!

Thank you for tour.

Another good video. We have a number of areas up here in the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts where we have dinosaur tracks. See you next week.

Loved It!

Your comment about the age of your jokes made me LOL.

Thank you for items that have just become bucket list items for me.

Thanks Steve!

I love the desert.

I love watching your videos, it takes me out of the left, right , political trap of the day! It's so relaxing, and your a great story teller! I just love it and I'm a history buff so thank you, I think my blood pressure went way down! Thanks!

Although we differ from our view of the years and eras (I believe in the Biblical account) I do appreciate your efforts of showing the dinosaur tracks. In Texas, there is a place where dinosaur tracks coincide with human tracks in the rock. This, in my estimation would have definitely been before the Great Flood (Noah). Thanks again Steve, and stay cool. .....Russell Decker

Another great vider

Thank`s For your great video.
