Hello everyone, I'm a college student who lives in Northern Arizona. I post videos of interesting things I find while out exploring Arizona. I visit mines, ruins, small towns, and other locations.
I make these videos to share with friends and family, so don't expect anything professionally made.

Camp Verde Salt Mine
The Camp Verde Salt Mine is one of the oldest known mines in the United States and some experts note that the area was likely worked for salt as long as 2000 years ago. Rare artifacts have shown that the mine was worked for salt at least before the arrival of Columbus (pre-Columbian) in the 14th and 15th centuries. The mummified body of an Indian miner was found in the underground workings during the most active mining period in the early 20th century. The establishment of Ft. Verde in 1871 brought new attention to the salt deposit and some of this was used for human consumption but the majority was used as stock salt. In the 1920s, the Western Chemical Company operated an open pit on the...

Outlaw Chicago: The Compilation Vol. 2
Просмотров 3714 дней назад
A compilation of outlaw country music. Ripped from my cd. For some reason, all the digital streaming services pulled this album from their shelves, much to my annoyance. So here's the full album for everyone else to listen. I recommend downloading this and burning it to your own cds in case it gets taken down. All tracks belong to their respective owners. I do not claim any of this as my own wo...

You did a really good job on this video, especially showing the specifics, a lot of folks move to quick when showing pertinent details that help make the video more interesting, thanks a lot and keep on Adventuring.
I’ve always wondered about these gauging stations and if they are still used today. The one you show in this video looks to be kind of old and not well kept. I wonder if satellites and other modern technology have made these gauging stations obsolete? Looks like a really scenic hike, though!
@@AbandonedMines11 Plenty of gauging stations are in use. It’s an accurate and probably cheaper way to measure height/stream flow compared to using a satellite. Besides, the only thing I think a satellite could measure would possibly the height of a reservoir. I’ve seen gauging stations usually at or down/upstream of dams. I think it depends on what companies need the data for. Also, trying to remove an old station like this is probably not feasible for the USGS, considering the location. Who knows, they might use it again in the future.
@@NitroTheWolf Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I suppose these old gauging stations are probably still used when water is present. It just seems like an antiquated way to go about doing that. But sometimes the old-fashioned ways are still the best despite all the advances in technology. Really enjoyed the scenery in this hike.
Looks like they're going somewhere
They are running away from me.
@@NitroTheWolf oh okay!
That’s so epic
Looks cool 😎
Looks like fun to go and see. Imagine how excited the men that placed them must’ve been knowing they were possibly the first ever humans to step foot there and leave a mark
Is this gentleman retarded? Does anyone know?
I use to fish there back in the 1990s-early 2000. We would go for pike.....and catch a ton of them. Once watched a pike take down a duck there. I lived in Williams at the time. Miss living in the forest sometimes.
Climate change has drained Lower Lake Mary that used to host record setting Catfish and other stocked game fish. Mormon Lake is just wetlands now too.
Lmfao...
Beautiful machine
With this technology, you really can bring soda to the water fountains when elected class president.
What is the spring like - doe it run year around? I wonder if that has changed since people lived/worker there
Gly did a video there years ago
Interesting that one basin apparently had tile on it.
Nice adding in the old black-and-white photograph. Incredible scenic shot at 8:01! Yeah, that shaft at 9:39 looked dangerous. Sometimes further down the hillside there will be a horizontal tunnel that goes in and connects up with such a shaft. I would bet you're correct about that dam and what it's made of. Was this a cinnabar mine?
The main minerals that were extracted were copper (7,352 lbs), lead (6,947 lbs), gold (4,616 troy oz), and silver (1,425 troy oz). So no mercury. Not exactly sure what would've caused the sediment buildup.
@@NitroTheWolf That’s interesting about there being no mercury there. Well, that dam is some kind of leftover material from the processing, I would guess.
nice area
You said, “My top priority today is to get down to the mine.” Hell yeah! 👍 Yes, those vertical shafts are scary! You’re right in not getting too close to the collar. It could be crumbly or have loose rocks that will give way if you step on it. Down into the shaft you would go!
Always interesting finding those metal survey markers. Nice truck!
bnnuy
whats the song?

bark !
How many of these are from South Dakota?
@@johnathandoe6034 None, all these photos are from Arizona.
@@NitroTheWolf Really? I should take a trip there sometime, I coulda sworn I recognized some Rural SD scenery or a Wall Drug sign
How the heck did this get in my feed???
why dont I get any views on youtube?
The next video should be pictures of old forgotten toilets
All the shits and giggles... forgotten
Wow! That’s cool you got some footage of the rattlesnake! You know, with all the cross-country hiking I’ve done and bushwhacking these last 18 years, I have only seen rattlesnakes less than 10 times! I just never seem to come across them. When I think about it, however, I think what’s happening is I’ve probably passed by a lot more than 10, but they don’t rattle and remain hidden or camouflaged. Hey - I’m OK with that! LOL
I featured some covered bridges on my channel several years ago. They were all back in Pennsylvania where there are a lot of them. I had heard that there were some out here in the southwest. Was this one in Arizona? Nice video!
I took this video while on a vacation in Vermont. I've never seen a covered bridge in Arizona, but it would be interesting to find one.
@@NitroTheWolf Yes, that makes sense that this bridge is in Vermont. There are a lot of them back there in that part of the country. I do believe there is one out here in the southwest now that I think about it. It might be in California. I remember reading something about it. I think it’s a really long one, too. Well, curiosity got the better of me and I just checked. Yes, there is a really LONG covered bridge in Bridgeport, California. Google that and look at the pictures of it! It’s pretty amazing! Yes, covered bridges are rare out here in the southwest. There might be a few more, though….
@@AbandonedMines11 Wow, that bridge is a work of art and engineering. Covered bridges were built to extend the lifespan of a wooden bridge. Snow and rain would destroy and wood bridge in 10 years without a cover, but over 100 years with one. Since the southwest is pretty dry, covered bridges were probably not needed as much. Also, compared to the eastern US states, Arizona is relatively new, only 112 years old as a state. Which means less time for colonization and development. Of course once people figured out better building materials like concrete and metal, wooden bridges became obsolete.
While I can’t be totally sure, I don’t think that was a mine entrance. The fact that there’s a metal plate on the outside of the door makes me think that might’ve been a dynamite storage locker. They often put metal plating on the door, walls, and ceiling of such lockers. It could be a mine entrance, though. Only way to know for sure is to go up to it and look in!
Decided to check the topo maps again and you might be right. My maps don't show any mine/adit/prospect symbols at that location. Though it shows lots of shafts and adits nearby. This was near the ghost town of Constellation, AZ, which is about 10 miles or so north of Wickenburg. Maybe I'll take a peek inside next time I make it down there.
@@NitroTheWolf Well, I think you confirmed it. If there are other adits nearby this unmapped one then, yes, this was probably an explosive storage locker. I’ll be uploading a video this coming weekend where I hiked to a mine adit shown on the topographic map. However, several feet to the left was a smaller, timbered opening that only went in about three or 4 feet. It was not marked on the map. I believe that was another dynamite storage area for the mine that I explored.
@@AbandonedMines11 Cool, I'll be on the lookout for it.
I have no clue why my flashlight is creating flashes on the video. Maybe it is too powerful? (2500 lumens) So sorry about that.
Few days ago I sent an email to SRP as I was curious on the status on the weir. Here's the reply for those also interested. "Good morning, I received your question regarding a Watershed Monitoring site located south of Flagstaff off the I-17. I cannot comment much on the history of the site, but historically it was managed by the United State Forest Service through their Coconino office. I believe it was part of an experiment trying to understand precipitation/runoff relationships with different types of forest management strategies. However, the Forest Service abandoned the site, and the Salt River Project stepped in to utilize to understand watershed hydrologic responses to precipitation events. It is a bit of a leading indicator of larger watershed flows that could impact reservoir operations on the Verde River. It is currently not being used to quantify water volume or discharge specifically as the weir itself is not in any condition to make accurate measurements. SRP has had water measurement equipment at the site since 2017."
I guess they needed to build a railroad, to get those big blocks there.😁
Imagine all the stories that place could tell...
The masons who formed and laid these blocks were Italian. Their workmanship speaks for itself.
There is a quarry just 2 miles west of this bridge and at the north side of the quarry, someone had carved two stone faces into the rock. One of them has the date of 1862, which is quite strange as it predates the existence of the quarry. At least from what I've found.
He was fond of whistiln sad tunes
loved the vid and the artwork, esp: the road runner and the mission.
I always see that helicopter ❤
I didn’t see any black material in the fireplace, was it ever used ?
There might have been a wood stove in the fireplace?
No idea, that would be a question for the original owners, who are probably dead.
Nice :3
It says don't pick up stuff
Hello from Texas
Thanks for the video but please be careful
New sub
The random cage may be some type of an environmental survey, block off an area and see how some plant / grass survives
Please be careful mate btw goodnight

It's raised and packed really good. A missed opportunity for a road bed
way less than a penny per rock for shure
Outstanding!!
