My wife and I ventured into the desert southwest, in search of adventure and traces of the past. Along the way, we face snakes, spiders and the scorching heat, but what we discovered made the challenges worth it. #ancientdiscoveries #exploration #adventure #hiking #history

My love of Native American culture began when I was a little boy in the late forties, I had The Book of Indians, by Holling C. Holling. Years later, in the late sixties, I travelled the country and visited modern Indian Pueblos and villages and saw Ancient sites, as well. ventured into Canyon De Chelly at a time when you could backpack alone. I spoke to a number of people about their ancestors. I was fit, but I never did anything equivalent to you and your wifes' explorations. Back home in New Jersey, down the shore area, we often found arrow and spear points and some times axes, near our home, which was on a brook which was on a branch of the Metedeconk river. These were the Delaware and the Lenni Lenape group of Eastern tribes. Where you visit. the weather and isolation has preserved so much more than back home. I have great respect for these ancient dwellers and their modern descendants. Cheers, Rik Spector

As a child in the late 1970s, I spent 2 summers at Camp Yavapines, in Prescott, AZ, where my mom was camp nurse. The kids' cabins had cinderblock walls covered up high in the corners with giant "scrums" of bouncing daddy long legs spiders. Giant quivering patches of these spiders, looking like creatures from Star Trek, lol! The spiders never came down and bothered us, so after our initial terror, we learned to ignore them. I gotta say, the cabins for my mom and the other adults did not ever have these spider scrums 🤔 I grew up all over, in Utah and AZ, and spent a lot of hours hiking in the Superstitions and through canyons with dwellings, camping on both Grand Canyon rims, eating pinion nuts and prickly pear jelly, dancing around jumping cholla. The thrill of seeing tarantulas and scorpions. The dry-leaf rustle sound of a rattlesnake tail shaking. I truly love watching your videos, remembering those wonderful places I saw as a child. Thank you both!

When I was a kid, my mother, father and I were driving in our pickup on a dirt road that had been bladed in the bottim of a canyon, near Moab, UT in the month of August, Monsoon season. My father, very experienced in this type of terrain and situation was constantly watching the sky and clouds up-stream behind us. Yes, it happened and all at once he drove the pickup up on a high mound on the side of the canyon bed up against a canyon wall as you show. It took a while for the flash flood to recede so my mother and I went exploring around the cliffs. We found a HUGE pack rats nest, no rats at home. We started digging at it and found turquoise beads, pieces of shiny worked stone, and bits of metal on different layers. It was like a rat treasure bank...obviously from the many past years. We left it in place...cautious of mites, lice, fleas, bubonic plague, etc. I am in my late 70's and seeing your videos bring so many memories back in great detail. Thank you.

@@JoanePappasWhite Yes, one time was going along the eastern side of the San Juan river north of Blanco. My mother and I waded across the river to a small farmers house. They did not speak English but through sign language and the generosity of these wonderful people they got on their tractor and drove miles out of their way to tow our car to another farm. Someone drove my father to town for a new, or used, oil pan. They helped fix the car. (We all became great friends through the years.) In the meantime my mother and I stayed at the original farm and I ate honeydew melon fresh from their garden.

I was a long distance runner and ran through canyons/on trails, in Colorado. I would have loved a drone back then. I encourage anyone who likes to walk to take up trail hiking. There're so many nice places to explore in the US. Be careful in slot canyons, if there's even a hint of rain, don't go. Always be prepared with hydration packs and high protein snacks, and get an emergency kit from an outdoor gear shop that includes a compass, fishing line, magnifying glass, and whistle in a cylinder that you wear around your neck. I also went trekking with my horse and dog. We all packed our own food.😊 Great videos!

"In the Hopi and Pueblo tribes, the dragonfly was considered a medicine animal, associated with healing and transformation, whose spirit was often called upon by medicine men and women. Killing a dragonfly was considered highly taboo in the Pueblo tribes."

I love the delicate stokes of the dragonfly wings! You can see the circulatory veins within each wing! What makes this all this all the more precious is how ephemeral, fleeting these images are and how blessed we are to momentarily connect with another human from countless centuries go...appreciating the very same delicate wonders of nature we see today.

I gasped right along with Evelyn; she was MUCH braver than I, especially with the snakes. I have been told that when I was a 3 year-old and t my grandparent's farm near Abilene, Texas I opened the kitchen screened door to find a coiled rattler and was reaching for it as I was snatched away... we were quite a ways from the hospital, but luckily it took off too, probably driven away by the shrieks of my mother, aunt and grandmother! I was, of course incensed that they wouldn't let me "have" it. Creepy!

this episode was amazing . The country , the valleys and the challenge .There is NO way I would ever go down those narrow sand stone crevasses . To find those intact storage chambers at the end , certainly makes it all worth it . Evelyn adds a Lovely bit of Beauty to your channel . Look forward to your next episode .

I loved Evelyn's donkey bray imitation! And also loved the dragonflies the best. That was the best panel I have ever seen. Thanks for taking me along.

Evelyn is a far better climber than I would have ever been! Never mind the rattlers... My 'claim to fame' is, along with a few million others, baking the hike up to Delicate Arch. It was fun to go along with you via your cameras.

Beats going to the movies, on your Birthday. One great panoramic scene. Eat your heart out, David Attenborough. Many Happy Returns, Mrs. Drifter.

Right at the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="780">13:00</a> minute mark…did you see that? What is that? I zoomed in and…well, you tell me what that is. It’s not a bird or plane. If I had watched it on my phone or iPad I think I would have missed it. But since I was watching it on my tv, it really stood out. It’s a 60” tv. What do you think? Great video. I love hiking along with you and the Mrs. Beautiful landscapes, sunrises, sunsets, and …WOW! The wildlife! That’s my favorite part of my trips. Thanks for another great video.

UFO ?

@controldatablock6687 5 күн бұрын

It may be something with the drone camera ???, a green light seems rather odd; @13:05 and onwards there is darts of white-ish light like leaping in front of it on the same plane as it moves on. I dunno.

I was wondering that too. It seems like a spec on the lens but it tracks left to right, then disappears down the slot.

Hello drifters! Another great episode. I've watch a couple dozen of your adventures so far. I have never seen one that is not calming and interesting to us. My wife and I are retired teachers and travel together all over North and South America having our own interesting adventures. Maybe that's why our favorite episodes of Desert Drifter are the ones where your wonderfully fun and smart birthday wife, Evelyn, join you. Like I said, your findings are always interesting and thought provoking, but the back and forth between husband and wife on an adventure add a whole new level of complexity (especially when there are rattlers and spiders in your way) to your excellent series.

Those paintings at the 25 min mark or so were amazing. Far more realistic and intricate than you've come across before (I think) It was nice to see you out and about with your wife. Do it more often.
