I went to GERONIMO's cave : It was SCARY 

If you get a chance go over and watch this video of mine .. it is one of my *FAVORITES * high high desert peak ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f-3iAxVFUKE.html

There is so much Apache history in SW New Mexico. My father, older brother and I walked many miles from Hermosa to the Animas, south seco, north seco, Reeds peak and places in between. I always imagined I was walking on the Apache footprints, sitting where they may have, camped and built a fire in the same spot. Watched a sunrise and set the same as they did. So many good memories. My father passed away at age 88 on Oct 8th. We recalled our moments in the Black Range before he passed. If you are still young enough go on an adventure with your father. Or many. The memories will sustain you when he passes on. Brett, thank you so much for your videos and the reminders of my trips in the beautiful Black Range.

I have much respect for Geronimo and I have always said he is a Great Warrior and a Great Man. It would be a great honor to go to this cave

I am a 75 year old lady. Ive been a tomboy all my life. I'm not manly or gay. I have just always loved being outdoors, with my hiking boots on hiking some beautiful mountain trail. I live in Washington state, The

I am 70 and I admire your tenacity. You' re living a great life. I have always said, in my next life, I want a horse and a dog.

Awesome I love it. I am Mescalero Apache myself. I've never been here and would hope to make a trip here. The Apaches back in the day really new the territory and new where to go to take shelter. I'm glad you made this video.

Agnes sure loves you. She will follow you anywhere. Proof that if you love and treat your animals with care and respect, they will want to be of service to you. Your dogs, too, are pure troopers. Always in the background, securing the perimeter. Great video.

New sub here. This video featured amazing production value, especially considering it was a one man operation. Hand held camera, tripod camera, drone shots, controlling multiple animals and navigating a wilderness. Thanks for taking us on the journey!😃

Your beloved horse,Agie,,has intuition,and knew she wasn’t going in there,so she turned around,she must have felt something . I noticed even your dogs didn’t go in,so they know something too! Animals have a sixth sense,they know before us. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed it!

Agnes is one great mule. The dogs are keepers as well.

You're lucky to have a friend like Agie

Really enjoy and appreciate your videos, I am now 66. As young boys and teenagers my dad would take myself and my two brothers exploring in the southwest traveling from Ohio in the months we were out of school. Had family in Tucson and Roswell. Dad passed 3 years ago at 84 of cancer. His ashes are spread amongst the deserts around Yuma where he spent a lot of his retired winters.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I was talking to a White Mountain Apache man two days ago and he told me about Geronimo's cave in Arizona on the Reservation. He had me look it up on the internet but nobody knows about it to document it. Little do people know he had more than one cave. It's wonderful to see the history Geronimo played a part of.

Thank you! God bless you and Agnes (and the dogs)!

Did anyone else notice the face 💀 at the back of the cave when he first walked in . Great adventure thanks for sharing

Ole Agnes was a trustworthy and reliable mule ... I'm sure you miss her very much.. She had to have been a good friend.

''' Watch For Me On the Mountain" is a biography of Geronimo I read years ago by Forest Carter, I believe. He also wrote the "The Education of Little Tree". This man is an exceptional writer and his Geronimo biography is beautifully written, powerful and moving.

Great video, thanks. I grew up in Radium Springs, been in that cave several times. I'm 78 now and greatly appreciate your perspective.

Love the footage you get especially with the drone. It adds a whole new perspective to your journey and to our enjoyment of watching your adventures. Always great to see Agnes pluggin along and could relate to her resistance to going into that cave. It’s as if she was saying “this old cowboy is crazier than I thought he was, there’s no way I’m going in there”.

So evocative , that cave holds amazing vibrations. Brilliant video, thank you Agnes , wonderful to watch this adventure 🙏💗

Agnes was no fool. She sense the presence of others in there.

A great adventure. I never did learn to ride mules but I used to log with them. There are incredibly reliable and sturdy creatures. When I was a kid I use to hike with my father and brother in the area of Cochise's Stronghold in southern Arizona, long before it became a park. It was an amazing area to explore as a kid. With all of the cactus and rattlesnakes I am amazed you take your dogs with you. The Lord bless and keep you.

It’s amazing to imagine the life Geronimo lived and the journey’s that he took. I live in Alabama and my family vacationed in Pensacola Florida out on Santa Rosa Island when I was a kid . Ft Pickens is located there and is the location where Geronimo and some of his warriors were held in the late 1880s … on the tour you are shown the area of the fort that was their living quarters. It’s was a amazing feeling to be there and also sad… they weren’t treated well, being forced to do hard labor from what I understand. What a amazing piece of history that your video shows.. thanks for sharing ✝️🇺🇸👆🏻

We at Teen Challenge continue to pray for your health. A small group of us watch your channel. Thank you for the bottle. We sent a little support your way, more coming next week. I personally enjoy this. Im from Carlsbad NM. We hunt. There’s some old-timers that trapped when I was a kid…

I loved this,,You and Your Mule are Adorable, Love how you treat her...Excellent Video.. Stay Safe Always🙏🙏

Glad you got to go on this adventure. Your dogs are great companions and beautiful to boot !

What a great adventure!

Awesome vid Brett. I broke 4 ribs about a week or so ago & they sharp ends are fractions of millimeters away from my lungs, heart & aorta so doc says no riding for 4-6 weeks.. can’t risk a fall or hard bump that could cause any penetration of bone into important stuff so I’m riding vicariously through you.. Thank you for posting

Glad to see ya again. Good to see your in good health. May God grant you many many more adventures. I sure enjoy watching you and your animals.

Good job! I really appreciate all your content. I was off work for 3 months with a total knee replacement and always looked forward to your videos, while I was healing.

We would be great friends! I was born 100 years too late too! I can't wait to see history out there again! Thank you for bringing this to life for us!

Pretty cool vid! I’d heard of that cave all my life, and had a great uncle get a long ways back in it , in the 1930s. He said he could feel the cross draft but never did get all the way through it.

Amazing! I’m still fascinated by the Indians and their many abilities. Their spiritual too. I was stuck in a cave once. Took me half an hour to wriggle free. Haven’t been in one since.

I look forward to each video, this one is fantastic! I’ve studied the southwestern tribes. I would love to go to these places. I’m disabled and can’t get that far from home because my wife is also disabled and can’t walk. But I get there through you. Thank you.

The thought about 'how is Agnes going to turn around' popped into my mind just a couple of seconds before you mentioned it! Seems she did ok :)

I have my mule saddled and ready to go on another adventure with you!!! 😁 Linda from Missouri 👍🥰😊♥️

you're my hero Brett. I feel and say, I'd rather die trying to live my life, than set idle worrying about dying.

It looks so much like Pyatt’s cave on the edge of Ft Huachuca. Cochise used to evade the cavalry there in the same way Geronimo did. It comes out in Mexico on the other side.

Glad to see you're doing well and back out there. Two years ago I was going to try doing the Geronimo trail that goes from Douglas Arizona to the National Forest in New Mexico. But after taking a drive out of Douglas, I decided rocks wasn't worth the risk. Someday maybe.

G'day Brett thank you for the very informative history of Geronimos world and the beautiful countryside fabulous camera work you do and great music to suit.Growing up in the bushland of Qld Australia in the fifties as a kid I was always fascinated with the American Indian history in 2008 I flew to Cuba fly fishing for giant tarpon and at the airport in LA I met a descendant of Geronino he was on his way home after preforming traditional native dancing in Sydney Australia that sure made my trip not to mention the 70lb tarpon I caught.Safe travels and good health.

Geronimo was my favorite apache and his history is wonderful

I KNOW what you're steppin in! When I lived in the Ozarks of MO, we would tour caves and caverns all the time, loved it! 20 years later, about 50 yrs old, my girlfriend and I were in Chatanooga TN. They have the worlds deepest cave/cavern there and we bought tickets to tour it. You enter the cave system through an elevator which takes you to te bottom and you walk out back through the cave system to the outside exit. The minute I stepped out of the elevator into the cave my chest tightened up so bad I could not breathe "I'm in good shape, not overweight nor have I ever smoked. I could not breathe! The elevator had gone back up for another load and I told the guide to get it back down immediately! NEVER have I had this or anything like this, but I got so clostraphobic, I had to go back up and my girlfriend continued the tour. She said it was very very tight in some of the area, I would have passed out and had them carry me out! Crazy! But now, I'm so clostraphobic, any tight confined quarters set me off. So, I feel your pain brother, I could not go any further in Geronimo's Cave than the sunlit area's! Great video, thx!

Your are a Blessed Man. To go on your rides with you is a blessing to me. Thank you sir

One of the best videos I've seen. Agnes looked very happy to get out of there. Thank you for taking us somewhere we'll probably never go ourselves.

I grew up in England, and as a child we use to yell out “Geronimo!” every time we would jump from a high ledge. His story reached all the way to England. Awhhh. Yes, I too wish that I was born about 150 years ago.

As always your videos are still my favorite.Brett I have the same heart problem that u have.I been in the hospital 3 times in a little over a year and half.I have had my heart shocked back into rhythm.I’ve had 1 ablation and it didn’t fix the problem so my cardiologist has plans on doing another ablation.So thanks to agent orange from Vietnam.Enjoyed this video as always.Keep up the good work and I’m waiting on the next one.Take care and thanks

Hey 1980 i was on a wagon train for 1100 miles, made me head teamster , storm hit us, -50 mph winds serious -0 weather, didn't loose one animal, our water buffalo froze THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME!, very beautiful country i remember every color we can see , on one mountain side, praise GOD!

Love to see your videos Brett . As I told you I live vicariously through them due to my health. Great trip today.Drone footage today was spectacular. Glad to know you’re better health wise .

Awesome adventure! Thanks for letting us tag along. Greetings from Panama🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🙋🏽‍♂️

I find this VERY fascinating! And your birds eye done footage?? Outstanding!! We are going to that part of NM this winter.

Can definitely understand how easy it would be to become lost in the desert! Got turned around once in the mountains near Jackson. Scared me enough to not take stupid chances again.

What a BEAUTIFUL video! Thank you Brett. Wow! that areal footage is awesome and the music is awesome too. Again THANK YOU for such a beautiful video full of magic and legend.

I have parodolia. I can see patterns in plywood and rock. When he enters that cave can anyone else see the Indian? It's where the natural lite is shining in. Amazing 😂

Another great video and history lesson Brett Thank you so much for sharing a beautiful place where I will never be able to see doing it on my own.

Brett you have no idea how much i envy yo and identify with the sentiments of your youtube handle. I too feel lle i was born 100 years to late in 1973. I dearly miss my beloved southwest too. One day i hope to be able to return.

Really good video. Best video on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing.

My blind wiener dog Leroy loves to listen to your dogs hunt. He can sniff out anything but would walk off a cliff. Lol. BTW, I work for the Ft Sill Apache tribe here in Oklahoma. Amazing history.

Thanks for sharing. Every time I drive by radium springs I think about the legend of Geronimo’s cave. I’ve always wanted to go check it out. A group of guys I know claimed to make it all the way through but they said you needed ropes. I was watching with my 6 year old and he noticed you got on the “wrong side” it opened up a discussion about on side and off side and that it was good to work with your animals to be able to do both. I thought it was funny so thanks for the learning opportunity for a kid.

So cool dude 😎, bring me a horse. I would love to go for that adventure! So cool. Awesome video

Missed your videos. Ive crawled thru indian caves and mine shafts throughout AZ all my life. Didnt used to bother me. After 12 yrs living in OK i always have "what happens if there is an earthquake" lurking in the back of my head. So much history in them there hills.

It's my birthday, sitting in chilly WV dreaming of warmer, less humid weather where I feel better. This video was a highlight of this day, great reminder of the vastness of nature, our ability to touch history if you know what you are looking at and do a little research. Watching your animals explore is fascinating. Keep on going onward and upward! lol thanks for the video

That’s a beautiful mule, I want to find myself a good four legged friend to go on adventures with.

It's not you feeling tight, but in that cave after you go back past the entrance light, in that big room the air is stale there, and get worse as you go back, you can use a lighter and only the tip will burn meaning low oxygen. The cave doesn't have a second exit anymore, if it ever did it's gone now.

Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! Absolutely stunning!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

I remember some 35y + yrs ago being up close to the top between Sugarloaf and Massai and hearing the Elk bugle early in the morning as We camped out in just sleeping bags right on the grass and just so mesmerized and knowing how lucky I was to se it.

At least you had a good trail to follow up to the cave Brett lol. Thanks for the adventure, love the stories and tales. Old Agnus might have been the first mule in that cave👍🏻

Really appreciate you taking me on this adventure and the history provided! God bless you my brother.

Wow what a cool adventure! Loved it! Thank you!

I can see the skull of an Indian carved into the stone when you first look inside. And thank you for the adventure.

A great video well done, I envy you living in that country and taking us along on your explorations is beautiful, hope you have many more like this.........

NEVER endanger your animals like that. Animals have limits; they KNOW what they can & can't do & their God-given instinct knows when it's not safe for them. They're loyal & faithful & will go knee deep in battle with you. Please take care of Agnes & she'll be with you a long time. 🙏

This is the 1st video of yours Ive seen and i enjoyed it alot! Cant get out and do stuff like i used to but really enjoy seeing what you get to do so thanks for bringing us along thru your videos!!! Liked and subscribed! Not sure how it popped up into my feed but I am glad it did!

Thanks for this. In the middle 50’s - the late 60’ dad had a a really nicely colored Appy Mule. As a family, we rode all the time. His mule was the trail breaker. Now at a beat up 75 years old, those days are gone for me. Dad would be proud to know that one of his great grandsons is in college on a rodeo scholarship in two events and already has his pro apprentice license with the PRCA.

Awesome trip. Great video footage. Love the Wild West and its invaluable history.

Very cool. Be careful out there brother. You may want to take a friend with you. You never know when trouble will find you. God bless.

Another good one! I really enjoyed seeing the country and hearing the stories. Great filming.

That was very cool thanks for taking us along and sharing the story, and great back around music too, God Bless

another fantastic video; keep up the adventures and thank you for making them.

Enjoyed the video and the story. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next one.

Really interesting commentary and exploration. How do your dogs avoid getting cactus spines in their feet? Agnus looks like a real good companion.

That was really neat. I love all that history in your neck of the woods.

Welcome back Brett. Glad health wise doing this ride. I am glad did not run into Geronimo and his people. Beautiful land, that is one thing you or I would never know, your riding where he could have ridden that’s great, untouched no buildings, homes. His people not chasing you. Is this before Geronimo came to Arizona? Kenny/Kid Yuma

Always look forward to your videos. Love them. Thank you

Good news, you're better and to and about! Back in the early 70s I hauled cattle from Crockett Texas to Chandler Arizona, I always thought the country coming into Las Crusus was pretty. Often wondered what was in the canyons and mountains around there. Good video! Lord Bless you.

Good morning from Southeastern Cochise County, looks like a great day to explore that cave...God bless and you and your pups and Agnes stay safe!

I'm from Geronimo descendant.

This is the reason I watch other folks venture into caves; the same reason Agnes left the cave. 😊 I just subscribed with full bell. I admire an explorer who tries even though claustrophobia runs it's way.

About 20 years ago, I used to make those Indian flutes. Sure is a peaceful instrument.

You took the long Scenic route. This is a cool place to hike to in the fall. Sad to see a lot of spray paint in and around the cave. Great video

lol …..WHY is is so much more calming and soothing to hear a horse or mule eat or chew yet if my husband chews too loud or smacks his food I get super annoyed?! 😂🧐👀. When I’m feeling down or just need to relax I’m headed out to the pasture and listening to my best ever 4 legged friends. Always gets me back center. LOVE Agnes! She is one classy chick;). IMO you have the best travel partners

One man, five animals.....all trusting him to care for them and following him. Love it!

Thank you for this adventure, My heart is native and my blood a little, my great grand parents were from the res, always felt more comfortable living outdoors than in a wood box.

I was so comforted knowing your beloved animals were with you. This was so cool. Thank you!

BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BE HONEST AND KIND

Awesome video Brett thanks for taking me along Agnes she's a Butte I really enjoy all your videos Brett I learned so much history from you you should write a book tell next time take care God bless

I have caught a couple of your journeys, now i understand your Monica. I love history but here in Australia that can kill you. So now its online history and journeys, i am just a few years younger than you and many health problems, this last 12 monthss i broke 2lower leg bones and shattered my ankle, got all cases off and fell over and broke my neck and pulverized a disc blessed too still be walking, then had another fall fracture my clavicle broke 3 ribs punctured my lungs. Today just a bit sore there is always a silver lining and i try hard to slow down with great effort, i am invincible (not). Thank you for sharing sorry you got an earful, please keep sharing. Blessed be you who has the lord in your heart.🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺

Im a Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache living in NM, and am a great great great grandson of Warm Springs Chiricahua Chief's Victorio, Mangas Coloradas, and Loco, and also a great great grandson of US Chiricahua Apache scouts Charles Martine Sr and Paul Guydelkon Sr. I have many stories of my people from the 3 Sisters mountains to Pinos Altos near Silver City where my daughter plays softball for WNMU.

What cool history behind the cave. I'm with you 100% about feeling tight and closed in, I don't like tight closed in places lol. When I get me a mule I would love to take that ride on the trail with you. I don't care for going with a group of people but 1or 2 people incase something didn't go right to be able to help each other. I don't mind. I guess I'm just an intervert when it comes to people. I like people. I just don't want to hang out with them lol. Glad everything went well with your heart issue it's good to see another one of your videos. Thanks for showing us such cool places, take care

Don't feel bad about not going in there. When I was young in my 20's I did a lot of cave exploring. Now that I'm an old man, I hate tight places. I don't know what changed. I've been binge watching your videos tonight. Definitely a new subscriber!!

Agnes is such a good mule, so quiet and easy. I had a hinny like that. One in a million! Lucky you!
