Secrets of the Desert (Mystery Map, Spaniards & Butch Cassidy) - Uintah Basin, Utah 

Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I think you have me confused with someone else though.

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoy my specific approach. I hope you take up more exploring, many wonderful things waiting to be re-discovered out there. I spend much of my leisure time exploring the mountains and deserts. I rarely see a soul out there. Not many people venture off the trails now days. Good luck and stay safe.

Thanks Vonda. I think we all sorta learn from our "mistakes of youth". I have a video called, "The Sacred Place", I think you would really enjoy it.

Thanks Billy.

Awesome!!!

Yes sir, it is. I think I like the Uintah Basin so much because you have a bit of everything; Mountains, Desert Canyons, Desert Basins, River Valleys, High Country Plateau's and then some. Beautiful piece of the planet.

Yes it is. Very sad.

You are very welcome and thank you. To answer your question; not very many. Most of my Great uncles, Grandparents and Great Grandparents (I knew most of them when a child), were sheep herders or cattle men. They spent all summer in the saddle herding their flocks on Forest and BLM lands. Those guys knew a lot! I remember as a child setting by the camp fire while camping or hunting listening to their stories. My fathers generation retained some, but forgot other stuff as they became pre-occupied with a changing world. My generation doesn't know much and has forgotten most. My kids generation doesn't know sh*t. Moral of the story, with each passing generation we lose more and more of our history. Sad.

@@LowBudgetExploration Beyond words sad! This is why your channel is so crucial. Are you also planning on releasing content on the paranormal side of the great basin as well? It would be interesting to get your take on portal travel and its connection with the ancient inhabitants of the Basin.

@@KingMosiah801 I have personal theories on that sort of stuff (as I'm sure most people do), but I keep it private and don't make my thoughts public. We see UFO's from time to time, I have posted 2 videos on this channel. I have other videos, but I keep them private. I really don't mess around with that sort of stuff.

Read your answer. You described the man who gave me my first elk hunting lessons. His storys were hard to beleive, but I know they were true. I watched him track and wounded elk across an area where I could see nothing. And I thought I was a tracker. I tracked since boyhood 70 years ago. I found him at the right time 40 years ago. I have tracked up many more since then and I will never be as good as him. He took a lot of game from horseback in his day. I was living in Grand Junction, CO. I have explored many areas as faciating as you show, many in Utah but never seen your stuff. I may hav ebeen around but not so I could look behind that more remote mountain. Been a lot of places Butch and Sundance passed by too! Keep it up.

@@LowBudgetExploration I lived in Grand Junction in the late seventys. I loved it, facinated and learned to elk hunt. I have a friend whose uncle took us elk huntign to teach us. We learned much in one season but the old man had herded sheep for thirty years on the desert mesas around Junction. I heard many storys no one could match. I became an excellent elk hunter but I never once sat on my horse and shot two deer with one shot. He had did it five times feeding himself in the wilderness. I thought I was a tracker and in most camps in my life I was the camp beagle. The old man was showing me where a wounded elk crossed the dirt road one time. I could not see a thing. But I believed him and killed the elk that day.

I wish that site still existed, I would love to show it and document it. I have the turtle at some property I own. The dynamite cracked it in half and destroyed most of the outer layer, but you can still tell its a turtle. Truly a shame. It is illegal to do what they did.

It is a shame. Very disgusting and grotesque display of wanton destruction.

LOL. It does sorta look like Noah's Ark or something like that. I think it represents a canyon and the cross means continue through the canyon (follow the cross). There is a major canyon complex not far from the site, which leads you to the Uinta Mountains where they had their mines.

@@LowBudgetExploration Looks more like a story about a boat at different times. The "cross" does suggest Spaniards but I don't think there is anything like these glyphs in Spain. There are some in Scandinavia, where the Viking longboat is done as a petroglyph like this. Thanks for the great pictures!

Tom, I'm not sure and have never heard that before. You got me curious, so I googled it but didn't come up with anything. I will let you know if I can find any information about him being illiterate and not knowing how to spell his name.

I ripped it from one of the Conan movies. Either Destroyer or Barbarian, I don't remember which one.

Robert, I did a video titled, "the Ancient Ones. I think you will enjoy it.

@@LowBudgetExploration Thanks!!

Response to your questions: 1. I hike (sometimes for many hours) to get to the locations I film. All filming is done on my cell phone. All I pack with me is two bottles of water, a can of chew and my phone. I try to travel light so I can cover more ground quickly. 2. I chose to make silent films with unique music playing in the background. I will never receive any money for my videos because of the copy right issues, but I don't do it for money and love to document these sites and share with other people such as yourself. 3. I am from the Uintah Basin (where all my videos are filmed). In my Grandfathers time we were all called "Basinite's". Its a term that has fallen out of use, but I try and keep the tradition alive. 4. The first song is from the movie "Book of Eli. The second song is from Conan the Barbarian (or Destroyer). Here is a link to the 3rd song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Zgqn24mjw8.html

@@LowBudgetExploration Thank you mon ami for your prompt response, however, you didn't reveal what the family/tribal name stands for. If it's too personal, please forgive me.

@@reshephyisraaldawnoftheawa7990 I belong to the Anglo Saxon Tribe, just kidding. I'm a mixture of all sorts of European Ancestry. All of us from North Eastern Utah used to be called "Basinite's" pronounced; Bay-Sin-ights because we were born and raised in the Uintah Basin. That's all its means, it's not a tribal identification or anything like that.

This all occurred on Federal Land (Bureau of Land Management). The company looked the other way and didn't disclose that archeological sites were found in the area. They didn't want to deal with any "red tape". Total BS.

I'm aware, trust me my wife doesn't miss a beat to point out my numerous spelling errors. LOL.

I'm glad you enjoy the videos, I'm currently working on another one and should be able to upload today or tomorrow. The Butch Cassidy is in a very remote area near the Green River out in the desert country. It is in a area were very few people go (they would probably get lost) and is almost impossible to find. This has protected it and kept people from trying to put their names next to it and etc.
