My Wife and I Found an Oasis Hiding Ancient Life 

I’ve been curious who she was for a long time since this is my favorite RU-vid channel and I just can’t help but wonder who Andrew has been lucky enough to spend his life with! Not surprised she’s an angel.

Great, but did you guys prop up that table at 12:28, or was it there when you got there?

Beautiful wife, beautiful hike, beautiful cactus flowers and scenery all around. Appreciate you sharing your ventures with us all. ♥️♥️👍👍

Already there

She has a great smile -

Sara, look to the left on your keyboard there is a key labeled Cap Locks push it once and you can use regular words without shouting at everyone! 😁😉

@@oldogre5999perhaps as an older lady her eyesight isn’t as good as yours and she needs capitals to be able to read it as she types.🙂

​@@oldogre5999 I mean.. I read it and didn't hear any yelling

Thank you for sharing your husband's thoughts with us Sara. Please wish him our best!

Maybe it was easier for her to read.

Your wife's way of saying Hi! ❤

@@NanaAmySpectreSeeker1111 yes, she does that here and there. It's still an unusual name, so I'm surprised when I see it as often as I have.

@@Brisleep1 I'm happy you know she's there. I have a Spirit Box Communication channel, and I imagine it's awful, not being able to communicate things easily. We treat our deceased like they don't exist anymore (bc we can't see them) but I know they are there.

@@NanaAmySpectreSeeker1111 I did go to your channel, I have no problem seeing her when she's around, visiting me. Thank you for your kind comments.

@@Brisleep1 Thank You, Blessings ♥️

That tree reminded me of my wife and I going to Volcano National Park in Hawaii. Out in the lava fields you could spot something green growing here and there in that rock. Just enough crack to sprout up a plant.

What a lovely way of expressing a thought. That made me feel so peaceful suddenly. TY 👏🏻👍🏼

I too like her along! And, I like that you’re not hiking alone out there!

Such a great team!! & I love how you both seem to have some mountain goat climbing DNA!!!

*Welcome Evelyn! You guys are so goofy together, I love it!* *I agree the **_Rock Goddess_** @**21:50** isn't ancient, but it's at least ten days of work onsite and way too heavy to import it... so someone hiked out there with tools and carved it in place for an audience that might never visit?* *More likely it was brought up from the South from someplace near Copán, and carried in hundreds of years ago.* *There are aspects of the Rock Goddess (like the tree/hair that are very familiar).*

She's good looking, too!

@@1nvisible1, I have to disagree with you, and it is based upon my experience living through the real hippie days of the 1960s and 1970s with the birth of Earth Day and the artwork from Height Ash-berry and the psychedelic poster art that drove most contemporary artists and their work. There is very little doubt that one of the previous comments was probably correct in estimating that it took someone at least 10 days of fairly steady work to complete and I also concur that I doubt that anyone with any brained would be willing to carry it in/overland as a completed project when they could bring the tools and have an actual “Love In”!

Haha she is!

@@Desert.Drifter 23:0. that head sculpture, the date is on the bottom.. i still think, it was flooded, when those graneries were built, access by boat.. ?..there must be some evidence of corn fields, raws, somewhere..you dont just plant 2 or 3..or were they traded from other areas..plus, wheres the source of arrow heads.?. nothing but sandstone there.

100%

Are you sure it is not old? Modern people my not have the skills. It is what I would call the TREE OF LIFE. Show you photos to men in a university, you already do, thank you for you site.

@Desert drifter's, could that piece of metal on sandstone table be what was used to carve the sand stone head?

I nwould love sharing theses adventures with a loved one, that would be awsome.

No woman, no cry...😩😓😁

Yes, invite Evelyn along again!

I couldn’t agree more.

I seriously thought it was a joke. "dicks you felt" Whoops!

So he was 15 years old when he was there!

Would be pretty typical for a fifteen year old boy to scratch his name on the wall.

@@remay11 Your mama's boyfriend

Thank you for sharing that story❤

You have such amazing history! To be a bug on the wall and listen to your father's stories...

Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing

Loved the story, thanks for sharing. Would love to have access to a place like that!

They used to make some amazing Goat Cheese in Pie Town. I sure miss the Hatch Chili cheese they used to make.

yes indeed. Looks Sumerian. I dont think a hiker went up there with a hammer and chisels and carved this on a camping trip then left it there for people to admire.

I like it much better than names scratched into the rocks or wood.

i would say it took more than a week to carve that

Looks like someone lived there for an extended period and started to set up the cave, out of necessity, as the ancients could have. That thing wasn't carved in a day. A week, semester, idk. I'd call that a gift to the world, maybe there are good and bad traces to be left.

I highly doubt someone did that recently. Have you ever tried to carve something in wood that size? That takes a lot of time even if they had power tools.

Broken legs, what the procedure? ☎️ a friend?

This is the best advice to give. The buddy system can be applied to many types of activities. 1 person is fine until it's not. Then it's too late. Adding just 1 more person opens the options and possibilities _infinitely._

@@michaelmoore7975 but how would u be got out of the area and by whom?

@@Mindsi 1st thing is you need to have emergency numbers from that area plugged into both phones. Next, plot out and discuss the intended route from when you leave the car to the destination. Just a general direction from the car. And distance in a direct line to the destination. This is to simplify and reduce wasted searching. For instance, if one person can't be moved and the other gets out, to tell rescuers "he is North Northwest from where we parked, about 3 miles as the crow flies" or "East Southeast from where we parked 3 and 3/4 miles as the crow flies.' Whatever the case may be. It will help immensely just by knowing a general distance and direction. While hiking, always keep some distance between the both of them. Not a lot, just keep each other in sight. This way, if something happens to 1 person, it won't likely happen to the other, leaving them to seek help if necessary. Now IF something happens....say 1 person slips, falls and breaks their back. Hopefully, you can call rescuers and tell the direction and distance from where your car is located. Then just keep the injured person from moving, provide shade if possible, and keep them hydrated. When you hear voices yell to get their attention. If you hear a helicopter, get to a clear area, take off the brightest, biggest piece of clothing and wave it in great big circles to be seen. But if there is no cell service, then the uninjured person provides shade, leave the injured with some water, and hike back out to the car as fast as safe as you can. Then either drive or find cell service to call emergency. Then everyone go back to where the car was parked and give the distance and direction and go along to help locate the injured.

​@@michaelmoore7975 is correct. The buddy system is best. I would add that smoke is also good at getting attention if you don't have brightly colored fabric. Also, phone a friend (or two) before you go so that if you both end up in trouble, your friends can notify emergency services for you. I love these channels but I worry for our host. Climbing these steep canyons, with no safety gear, all alone?

I agree!

Evelyn is not your ideal companion

@@eldorado1244???

​@@eldorado1244Who is then?

There was a place where the river looked like the garden of Eden. I'm glad I wasn't alone in noticing.

Thank you!

I’m glad you understood that instinctively. Having grown up during the national anti littering campaign I just assumed that was part of everyone’s upbringing now, but if the understanding comes from within that is even better.

❤

Until the inevitable divorce comes, and then bitter resentment sets in . Have a wonderful day ! 😊

Agreed! As a lady follower, I’d enjoy more cameos of her, or an outright shift to dual hiking adventures would be okay too!

"do it for us ladies!" And gents!

One of the thing I’ve discovered is an ancient tree stump 4 miles from my house. that tree stump didn’t just fall. It was cut down. it’s around 300 yards in diameter. I’ll see if I can share some pictures. I’ve been trying to get others to recognize it.. the rest of the tree is laying as a ridge. That’s approximately 10 miles long. I would love to share with you what I’ve discovered., But I’m not sure how to share that on here. The native American artifacts and etches graphics throughout the ridge are exactly what i’m finding in the areas that you hike.. let me know how I can share this. This is the first one I discovered. Up here in Northern Nevada. I have discovered many others throughout this area.. again thank you for sharing. Thank you for your great videos. And you’re great discoveries.

@@Luckey308 a tree nine hundred feet in diameter? Not sure that is possible, even if you meant 900 inches, thats still 75 feet in diameter, the largest sequoia is just under 28 ft in diameter.

Thank you for sharing, and sorry that you lost him. It is a blessing to look back on all the great joys of our lives, it is its own gift of time.

One hesitates to say it is ancient because it's not characteristic of the cultures known in the area. But, like you say, what modern person would spend the time making something so intricate? It should be looked into, I think.

@Rev14v7 absolutely!

Amazing in every way! It’s such a joy to have a real PARTNER on the path of life. Thank you both for sharing this joint adventure. What a day!

yep , quite a mistery , id love to know more

Shouldn't somebody date it?!?

@@beentheredonethat5495 I've had worse dates, so I would go on a date with that stone. Jokes aside i think it's hard to do with rocks because they are not organic

I'm pretty sure that rock art is modern. The details are too delicate and intricate. I really hope it was an indigenous artist otherwise it was defacing their ancestors land. Doesn't matter how pretty the artwork is. But also art is a means of opening up discussion and bringing awareness to its interpretation.

Absolutely!

Or desert drifters

How wonderful to have that connection! Thank you for sharing the tidbits of your connection. It’s really interesting, powerful, and lovely.

Thanks dude!

Completely agree, and I can't understand why it would be wrong to make that art. And I suspect if you were camping or living in the area in the modern day, you'd want to use a natural shelter like that, even if it had been used before by first peoples. I would never disturb a site with evidence of ancient habitation but I could see building that shelter if I was staying there for weeks. Maybe the proper thing would be to demolish the shelter after you leave, but I don't see the point personally.

@@robertpeyton9535 I agree with you both, but can I raise you one. Leave no trace in my opinion applies to removing or destroying material or leaving litter. If the people who came before us did not create art and build amazing structures we would know very little about them. Their trash heaps are now goldmines to us today. So I think that it is perfectly fine to build and create in the natural world, just as long as you are responsible and respectful of your surroundings.

NO IT SUCKS! It's fake bullshit invasion into the natural history of this place. You should be ashamed.

I can see she keeps you awake and alert -- a good partner. A different vibe than with your buddies. Variety is the spice of life!

4:57 omigosh that outstanding rock art!!!! isn’t that just so wild??!! wow! totally wow… that’s so cool… that flood debris is intense too.. beautiful beautiful beeeeeutiful

great username!
