What a wonderful gift Hazel Stiles has left behind. I think this shows her gratitude, respect and admiration for life and she’s sharing this with those lucky enough to discover this. Thanks to you Drew and Bethany for keeping her message alive and bringing this to even more people that may never get a chance to experience this themselves.

@MatthewHuntley1961 5 лет назад

Great video. That is quite a monument to Hazel's vision. Hey, how are you two doing with the recent earthquakes?

@OddityOdysseys 5 лет назад

HI Matthew. The earthquakes were about 120 miles north of LA. We definitely felt them, but no damage in our area. Thanks for your concern and we're glad you enjoyed the episode!

@bigjj974 5 лет назад

The lower section the rock garden is a representation of an opened bible passage. If you can match the size and shape to the pages in the Bible it will narrow done to passages that are one and one half pages. Considering her age and background I would recommend trying to match to the Kings James version. Bethany ask how she keep track of everything. She keep track of everything in the lower section because she had the Bible as her guide and she just copied it on the ground. Just my 2 cents, love your videos.

@mitch5077 5 лет назад

I was thinking the same, and it wasn't completed.

@mitch5077 5 лет назад

Well that has alot of Wisdom to it, Especially shutting the tv off and pray, or can be interrupted especially today, shut all electronic devices off and enjoy family and friends and the love that surrounds you. To me its brilliant!. Thanks Bethany and this is Drew!

@WildSuns42 5 лет назад

Near there,,, down gold crown road on the other side of 62,,, to the gold crow mine site, across the road from that up the little road going left at the fork and follow that road a short distance further to where it ends at a couple small mine tunnels you will find more desert-lines... art work someone did covering a good sized area.... Ive been trying to figure out who did those for 30 years.... never knew about hazels work and its only a few miles away.... there were natives that had a history of doing stuff like this over by the river.. they got displaced and some ended up in 29 palms joining natives there... merging together. And there is another place a bit away that also has some history of manipulating surface rocks in this way.... point being hazel may have become aware of some of this or similar and been inspired to continue and old tradition....

@treeonhay 5 лет назад

Another great video!! Had no idea this existed so thank you guys for sharing! Hopefully people don't go disturb it! I was hoping to see inside her abandoned home, if it still stands. Maybe if you guys have footage, and can make a quick vid? :) And if Bethany goes missing we'll know where to look, lol.

@OddityOdysseys 5 лет назад

We actually have a video of exploring her abandoned home on our Patreon page. :) And yes, we certainly hope the wonderful spot stays preserved!

@giuliom8520 4 года назад

Great video, as always! But, it'd be even better if we knew what all it said; after all, she went to quite a bit of trouble to write it. It looks like a very positive message and probably very good advice about life that she wanted to be left for generations to come.

@SWSimpson 3 года назад

She went insane after the divorce. She's living in nowhere land without running water... and she's in the desert writing giant things with a lot of rocks. Why carry so many rocks and not tell anyone. I think she lost her mind.

@michaeldougfir9807 5 лет назад

@firefinder2889 5 лет назад

This is a surprise! In 1984, we lived less than a mile west-south-west of this point. We must have walked past this place many, many times following the drainage trace, but never saw it!

@reynam.1303 5 лет назад

Where have you guys been?!?! Missed you guys! So happy to watch another video 😊

@noahcount7132 5 лет назад

Fascinating and mysterious spot. Hopefully, it will be deciphered and preserved. On your way to Hazel's masterpiece you passed fairly close to Bev Doolittle's strange and exotic 'house' on the outskirts of Joshua Tree (the town, not the park). Perhaps you could visit it someday as an Oddity Odysseys adventure. PS--Bethany, just like you I love (some aspects of) Canada: Canada Geese, Canadian Bacon and Montreal Steak Seasoning. But, unlike you, I don't have a shirt that proclaims my affection for our neighbor to the north. ;^)

@johnnada586 5 лет назад

Noah Count actually I think is “I love Ca”lifornia . Which makes more sense since they are from the Los Angeles area . Pretty sure it’s for California

@noahcount7132 5 лет назад

Of course it's Calif. I'm just having a bit of good-natured fun with Bethany. (You did see the smile and wink at the end of my comment.) Also, sometimes when she's wearing an "I heart LA" shirt, (Los Angeles) I tease her about Louisiana, also abbreviated LA.

@jerry3890 2 года назад

The 5 acre plots out there were a government give away to WW2 Veterans. There was a lottery if you were interested in a plot. My Father won one, but there was a condition that you build a minimum standard dwelling on your site within a given time. My father didn't build the shack, and the plot went to someone else. That is the reason why all those plots hve nearly identical shacks.

@BeeWhistler 5 лет назад

I wonder if the extra space in the small print section was because she didn't end up needing the whole area she marked off or if it was because she wasn't finished writing. Considering you can't read it anyway I guess it doesn't matter now.
