Join me on an epic adventure into one of the most desolate ranges in Arizona. I tell the story of a massive war that took place in this range with the back drop of an overlanding journey.
Being born and raised in AZ I love the history you’re putting out there. Excellent stuff as always. The stories and the cinematography are great. I’ve been subscribed for a couple months now and it seem that you’re definitely starting to get popular. Keep it up!
I love the inclusion of the history. 51 year old Arizona native here, and I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work. You're making me want to get a decent 4WD and start exploring.
When I 1st started watching these overland people telling about the area creeks and rivers in the history little bit. You have the most detailed that I've far most people have gotten away from it,, History teaches us all, It is a shame that politicians do not use the correct history you could teach him a lot, If they would allow themselves to hear.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this, my favorite videos to do are historical. Arizona by far gives me endless opportunities to do that. I thought mixing overlanding and historical stops out here in Arizona would be a great mixture. Thank you for watching!
I couldn't distinguish good guy from bad guy, maybe no distinction, but it seemed like both families should have just settled for what they had at the outset. Great video. thx
I myself couldn’t determine who was right and who was wrong. There’s a whole lot more back story to each family that I could have done a separate video on but simply I think it was two families who turned on one another and good people got caught it the cross fire
I just recently spotted a couple of your videos on here. We spend a fair amount of time in AZ, so I really enjoy the back-stories and history you provide! I'm not sure what you do for a living, but I think you'd be a great history teacher! You seem to have a real passion for it. That's a great travel companion you have there! Happy Trails, RM
Thanks for watching I’m glad you can appreciate the history! Hoping to do more content like that soon. What I do for a living is far from history teacher but that’s something I always considered!
@@Whitedogoverland I'm sure your dad enjoyed teaching and sharing his local knowledge with you. I'm sure you'll do the same with your kids too. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
As usual nice work. We explored this area on the trail of Tom Horn. I have a feeling he learned some of his later ways from accounts of the Pleasant Valley War. (Tonto Basin War) Keep them coming.
Thank you! Tom Horn actually played a role in the war as a hired gun but the accounts of his actions aren’t known. The only thing I was able to find on Horn was the fact that he was friends with the Tewksberrys. I’m sure some of these gun fights included the outlaw!
I’ve considered doing stories about him, I always found him to be interesting and many people have never heard of him. He was spread so far and wide over this state it would be hard to tell the story from one single location!
I think you've found your niche. Really enjoying these videos man. Well done, and good narration. Always fun to hear stories from those times, sometimes wish I could've been around then myself. Good work brother!
It's so green in that area....beautiful. Sad that there was so much blood shed there. Great story and history lesson....thanks for your efforts to make a great story!!
@@Whitedogoverland I saw a video where the lugnuts came off the Tundra and I read something about that when tundra’s have aftermarket wheels that are not hub centric and aftermarket lugnuts they had problems- only Tundra not Tacos. Toyota oem lugnuts turn into the studs 12-14 times. Some aftermarket wheels that require the aftermarket lugnuts only turn between 5-9 or less depending on the wheel. Then the issue with the (hub centric) compounds the issue.
I appreciate your effort to get to these outback locations as well as presenting the historical significance. As a trail runner I have been able to explore some of these remote locations that most people don't get to and it is liberating. By the way, Sycamore Canyon Wilderness has some stunning ruins that are worth exploring. I researched and got to some amazing ruins there several times over the years and it has been so worth the effort. I wish the best for your future endeavors!
Ah I believe you’re referencing the infamous rug road! I’ve been to those ruins before, not from the mammoth side, haven’t taken my full size through that road yet but from Wilcox. Definitely a beautiful area one of my favorite places in Arizona!
@@Whitedogoverland Actually Sycamore Canyon I am referring is near Tuzigoot National Monument near Cottonwood and Jerome. The trailhead to access the ruins are at Parsons Spring/Packard Tr#66. I hear you can also take some jeep trails near Perkinsville and proceed east and get to the edge of the Wilderness area and then hike about 4 miles in. You should check it out. They are pretty spectacular ruins sitting on the edge of the canyon that few people ever get to.
Oh man I love that area. I’ve actually heard of that sycamore canyon im more familiar with the one down here but I appreciate the suggestion next time I’m up that way I’ll shoot over there. Getting real tired of Sedona so going to venture to the west. That range surrounding Jerome is stunning.
@@Whitedogoverland You could definitely do some historical significance with the boom in the mining era at Jerome and its economic connection with Sedona. Then as we discussed the tribes that existed in Sycamore Canyon and how secluded it still is to this day is stunning. Well any way, thanks for taking the time to discuss. Good luck with you future excursions!
Is there a way to get access to your routes? Some of these trips you are taking are amazing and would love to take my family on some of these adventures
What I enjoy with this type of video Unique & Good Story telling while overlanding Some camp stuff et al. (fire - cookin' - sunset -:) Great camera work (which you have in spades) Mixed in with some reviews or things you like or some how-to But my likes matter a hell of a lot less than what you want to do WRT U & ur channel - just my 2 cents Nice Rig - I have a Self-built Transit Van & Tacoma with an Alu-Cab Canopy Camper
Glad you enjoyed! I am absolutely jealous of that canopy camper though! I looked into them, almost pulled the trigger but man they aren’t cheap sure worth it tho!
@@Whitedogoverland The feature on the ACCC (apart from being generally very well built) that put me over the edge to buy it was - No tailgate a/w the "large" swing out back door (one action to get in). This feature was unique from almost every other Topper out there. Without that - I would not have bought it!
