👍How to be a respectful visitor to these places👍
Native American groups still live in this area and beyond today. These places are still special and hold significance.
1️⃣Don't climb on walls or structures. Don't lean on or climb over them. Many places don't even need to be visited up close. View these places from a distance or with binoculars.
2️⃣Do not touch the rock art. Don't touch or create new rock art to preserve ancient stories.
3️⃣ Leave All Artifacts. Leave artifacts and structures undisturbed to maintain their historical significance. It is illegal and wrong to take artifacts. If you want something to take home, support local tribes by buying their handicrafts and jewelry.
4️⃣ Manage Waste Responsibly. Use waste bags; don't leave human or pet waste behind. Don't 'go' near cultural sites.
5️⃣ Camp With Care. Don't camp near historical sites. No fires near these areas, and ensure all waste is packed out. Don't make fires in caves or alcoves. Camp in designated spots only. When you leave, make sure to make the site cleaner and better than when you found it. Pick up extra trash you may see.
6️⃣ Control Your Pets. Don't let pets roam freely near archaeological areas to prevent destruction. Pets are not allowed in or near sites.
7️⃣ Preserve Fragile Areas. Don't disturb fossils and please protect delicate soil and plant life.
8️⃣ Follow Rules. Don't engage in illegal actions such as building cairns, or using climbing gear to access archaeological sites.
9️⃣ Obey Drone Rules and Laws. Numerous locations in the American Southwest and beyond, such as the Navajo Reservation, Wilderness Study Areas, and various restricted spaces, enforce strict drone usage prohibitions. It is crucial to not only honor the legacy of the people who once inhabited these areas but also show respect for the present-day residents and adhere to their local laws, customs and regulations.

NOTE: I don't claim that I am the first person to "discover" these places. I just find things on Google Earth and want to go see what they are!
I do not claim to be an expert on anthropology, geology, or archaeology. I say that my channel is about "amateur archaeology". I don't have a degree or formal training in archaeology. I am just a hiker who loves to explore and see new things especially the ancient history in the American Southwest. This is what my channel is about. I hope you stick around and explore with me!
I do not give out locations to the places in my videos. I take seriously the responsibility to protect and respect these ancient places. If you do find/visit one of these locations, please visit respectfully. I try my best to hide noticeable landmarks, mountains, and canyons in my videos.
According to the stories of the Navajo people, when certain tribes were defeated and chased away, they would ceremonially destroy their pottery as a way to wipe away the memory of their enemy.
Or perhaps it is simply a trash pile
Certain tribes of people from the south who brought some very bad juju…
I agree! If the tribe was forced to leave, they would probably destroy their pots & maybe even parts of the structures to make them unusable by their enemies.
@@SchoolforHackersthe bad juju was all around long before any people were in the south
Two things: Thanks for letting us accompany you and thanks for keeping the location secure so it won't be despoiled.
Keep on trekking, little brother.
Keep on trekking! There is so much to see and explore out there! Thank you for your comment, Russ!!

*@**12:01** lower left of center there almost looks like an intact piece of pottery from above.*
I’m 80….i see your real in your work that’s why I’m having coffee with you. Thank you
💯
Thank you for being here, Dyanne! I appreciate you
@@TheTrekPlanner the pit could be for the mud, morter.. is your interested in history. watch. everything inside me.. theres a lot been hidden. seems the 2 ww. were meant to destroy history, de populate. nothing to do with quarrels. america, is not, what they tell you..
@@TheTrekPlanner the pile of stones you walked past. looked like a grave..
@@TheTrekPlanner arial shot , 15:50. lot of ''tracks'' almost centre of the triangle from outside the stone wall top. bottom right to the creek, looks like a perfect circle. could be nothing.
I am thrilled that you use only your eyes and your camera lens to show us these beautiful sites. It gives me hope! And I love your trek notes and ponderings. Keep being curious! ❤️🌲🐿️🍄🟫
Jeff is the type of guy who you'd trust to watch your home. He is respectful and able to create content that makes you feel like you've been there every step.
8:21 also could be A midden
I really appreciate your comment! I strive to be as minimal of a visitor as possible. That's why I love using the drone, so we can get close without actually disturbing anything. Thanks for watching!
Well he also uses his hands, his feet, his ears, his legs, his arms, his car. He uses all kinds of body parts equipment, his backpack?
It is nice leaving stuff untouched; but no body is going to mind if you pick up a pottery shard to look at it. Just put it back.
Desert Drifter gave a nod to you and your influence on his journeys in one of his most recent videos.
Great channel also, should be a collab
Thats so awesome! I watch them both. It would be fun to see a collaboration!!!
All that pottery in one spot may be a midden site or a “trash pit”. In my area they liked to camp at the top of steep hills. The hillsides are usually full of broken pottery and shell and bone. Very similar to modern day campsites unfortunately, you can usually find people’s garbage along the perimeter somewhere.
When I was still living in east Texas I found several sites exactly as you described. One of which was on some private property and I had permission to dig into it and I found several really nice points and an almost complete pipe end and tons of broken pottery but nothing of real significance. The best place by far that I found the majority of my Texas points Paleo to later archaic was along the waterline of Lake Fork. For a few years in a row there was a bad drought causing the lake to reseed several feet and you could find tons of them.
Is a midden indeed
That was my thought as well.
Is it possible that the large low walled areas could have been used for penning sheep at night? It just strikes me as a sheep fold
On this side of the Atlantic, castles commonly had a midden where all rubbish and broken plates and dishes would be dumped. A great and accessible example of this can be seen in the site of the original Louvre structure, below the ground floor of the current structure.
In a world filled with so much strife you make my life so much calmer by taking us on your treks.
Thank you for your comment. Being outside in nature by myself or with family and friends really bring things into perspective about what really matters
Taking us on his treks and constantly brow beating us about what we should do and shouldn't do. That's literally the basis of his channel. Every video is the same, "Don't step on the cryptobiotic soil, don't disturb pot shards, don't climb on the ruins. He sounds like a broken record EVERY video. Bro just put all your nagging in the video description and make the videos about the exploration. The constant nagging really takes away from your videos.
@@Springfield-eo8jl for sure, it's like going shopping with your parents as a 5 year old - Johnny don't touch this, don't go over there, don't move that. It's pretty off-putting and condescending to the adult viewers. That said others in this genre do it too, some kind of virtue signalling they feel they need to display.
I greatly appreciate how respectful you are toward the ancients, their dwellings, and possessions. Thank you for sharing. I never would have had the opportunity to learn and see those detailed aspects of the SW. God bless.
Getting to see the potshards IN SITU and left undisturbed is PRICELESS Thank you! You make it possible for the lame (me) to explore with you!
I love how respectful you treat your surroundings!
I am also 80 and I enjoy the thrill of exploration through your videos. I love your honesty,, and puzzling things out with you. I can't go treking, but I can see more with you than I would if I were out there. Thank you for the fun and satsfaction of discovery‼️Keep up the good work, and God bless you.
Oh my, I love starting on the hike with you with the mystery completely in the future. The highlight is when you reach the destination and you are just overwhelmed with excitement and joy. That is contagious! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I love doing this!!
So excited when you get someplace then too excited to put the camera settings right is so like me. Thanks Jeff - what a great video!
Agreed - great cinematography!
Spot on with your comparison to Chaco Canyon. The layout when you showed the google earth shot immediately screamed Chaco Anasazi to me! Great stuff Jeff thank you!
Jeff: The big rock shown at mark 5:54 on the ridge directly behind the ruin, looks like it contains a cavernous alcove, and with this large ruin, it seems that could also be worthy of investigation and could contain ruins, too! This was very interesting. The weather cycle hundreds of years ago could have provided more rain, than what exists there now, and those pits, might have been small lakes that contained water, which could have been why they built next to it! Thanks again for another great trek!
My thoughts exactly. Those ridges that surround this site look like they were perfect for further exploring and discovery.
If you choose to do so, I hope you find something else amazing and bring us along for the Trek (you see what I did there, lol).
Great eye. Thanks -
The rock that resembles a whale? I agree with you… it’s worth a look!
Finally, someone honest enough to tell the truth. As someone who's walked several of the same areas as Trek Planner, I can tell you he's locating the spots you don't find on a website or in a trail guide or book.
I'm a potter and have studied Native American pottery. I've read that sometimes pots were ceremoniously broken to release the spirit of the pot.
No one better break any of my pots!! While I am alive anyway.
That explains why my bowl keeps levitating and making strange noises at me. Spirited little guy..
Excellent footage .
That one pile of rocks looked like a grave.
never know who came later and reused the stones...
There are ancient graves on an old woodland era village site that I used to live on that looked very similar to that pile of rocks.
It would be cool to think that the pits were ancient structures. I have a feeling it could be the result of pot hunters digging up the site. I hope that I'm wrong.
@@larryg7806 Whenever you dig down, you have to remove earth and pile it up beyond where you're digging. If it was pot hunters, there would be evidence of that.
If there were pot hunters they missed alot. I'm going a cowboy stole there land at the end and that's who is buried under that pile of rocks
@thetrekplanner This is very interesting. As regards the broken pottery, I don’t know if this has any relevance or not: there is a nonfiction book called “The Lost City of the Monkey God” by Douglas Preston. They discovered lots and lots of broken pottery and the local people told them that whenever a group of their ancestors moved on to a new area, they would break all the pottery that they were leaving behind. It had something to do with their belief that spirits were trapped in the pottery. That book is set in Central America but combined with the creepy feeling you had around the broken pottery, it reminded me of that ancient practice. Who knows? Have a great weekend and thanks for all you do.
Hiking and archaeology, yay. Keep on exploring, Mr Planner. 😊
Thank you , for your honesty ! We are just as confused and awe struck ,and your interpretation is better than ours ! 😊
What a fantastic find!! It's so big. Thanks for showing us you, walking by it, from the drone!
My comment is that I follow you and notice others doing similar trips but I follow only you. you give the air of excitement and clearly enjoy finding or just hiking out there, whether or not you find a ruin. you always find beauty.
Brilliant Track to the Side and its Large - nice Pottery Pieces as well - sooooo many different ones ! Great Drone Views also ! Thanks for showing Us and Yes - I think You are the Best ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
What I enjoy the most Jeff is your enthusiasm and joy in what your doing and want to share this with all of us . Stay safe!!🙋♀️❤
I genuinely love doing this! :-)
Really enjoyed this adventure! thanks for sharing.
Who else is tickled when Jeff says 'ha' when he discovers something interesting?
Thank you for another amazing adventure. I grew up in Arizona in the 1970s & encountered many amazing ruins & pictographs in the White Tank area. I had a respect for these areas so your approach resonates with me Jeff. Happy trails ☮️✌️
Thank you for supporting me directly through a Super Thanks!! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed this adventure!
The White Tank area is a place I have yet to explore but I really do need to take a trip to AZ soon! Thank you again! 😊
-Jeff
Remember that not every pot survived the firing process and it wasn’t uncommon for the broken remnants to be collected. The broken pots can be crushed and used as a tempering agent for future pots
My thoughts also
That is good to remember!
Good point.
Gea except they didn't throw them randomly and forget about them. Plenty of tribal elders talk about other tribes wiping villages out and destroying everything. Especially their tools and pottery. This appears to be a similar destruction to that of the Mesa Verde(pre rebuilt construction of modern times), Pueblo and Navaho sites.
Authenticity is felt, Jeff and there’s no question that’s what you are all about! Thank you, again!
6:30 I think that sherd looks like Navajo/Diné (The People) pottery (Dinétah Gray, 1540-1740 AD), which was later than the pottery you’ve mostly found on camera.
The square or rectangular structures are probably Ancient Puebloan. They were there until just before the Diné were. It’s possible that the Navajos inhabited other tribes’ abandoned dwellings. The Navajo people built defenses against the Spaniards, as well as building dome-shaped structures (called hoguns), along with square and rectangular-shaped structures (called pueblitos/small pueblos), which were sometimes gated.
Finallllyyy, someone actually bringing forward the ancient structures in North America. There are TONS. No one has revealed them, gov’t doesn’t care, covers up most of them in fencing etc … good work 🙏🏼
Great video, Jeff! What a fascinating place. I appreciate what you're saying about your finds being authentic, and know what you mean about some of the other channels out there. Keep up the great work!
Years ago I was working with a history/archeology field school and a student asked, "What do we do if we find an arrowhead?" The archeologist said, "leave it where you found it." The tribal leader who also taught at the school said, "Pick it up, take it with you, the Indian who dropped it didn't want it anymore." I always thought that was funny. The tribal teacher is now a judge on the reservation and we've been best friends now for close to 20 years. I still side with the archeologist though :) Taking artifacts destroys context and the story is lost or broken when that item is removed. Take for example the amount of pot shards in one location. With corroborating evidence it could mean a site of pottery manufacture. Once the shards are gone that part of the story is also gone. Corroborating evidence could be evidence of kilns or even fragments of charcoal.
I think that the Indigenous leader meant one arrowhead, not 100.
Another great production ,so fun😊
Good video. This is a fresh find unlike other people who hike to common places we’ve seen before.
Thank you! I get recommended channels that visit these popular places and they say they found it on google earth. I have to laugh because we know they are being deceitful.
@@TheTrekPlannerkeep up the good work. I enjoy your channel.
I love watching your channel, and I appreciate that you tell us when you actually found something on Google Earth, or you are at a well known site. I don't care one way or the other whether they are well known, but I like knowing.
Thank you for letting us “hear” the silence. Love the real crunch of footsteps. The music you do insert is appropriate, not overwhelming.
Oh we all know your the most true, and authentic on RUclips- or anywhere else. I watched one of your videos 1st. Loved it and searched and searched for others like it. There are no others for me. They don't compare. You are amazing at what you do. You have a calling. And I thank you so much for showing me these amazing places.
It almost seems more modern - like it was used as a ranch. Could someone have repurposed it more recently in the last 100 years or so from something old?
Great site, Jeff, and thank you for pointing out that some people visit well known places pretending they were the first ones to discover them!!
The sherds in one spot may be for a variety of reasons:
Midden pile
Firing spot where pots were made
Washed down
Food storage area
Stay safe in the heat.
Interesting layout of the site. Walls for animal enclousures maybe, like sheep, if the ruin is post 1600s?
Pot sherd distribution is a normal human thing, Consider these are like semi disposable dishware/cookware/storage vessels and they break with use. The people generally put their broken pottery in a waste midden or garbage piles.
Thank you for your comment! I didn’t touch on a midden pile but that is a great idea that I hadn’t considered when visiting!
Fascinating, there looked to be other ring patterns on the bottom right of the overlay pattern at the end of the vid. Stay safe, stay hydrated. Many thanks.
I absolutely LOVE your channel! So interesting, and calming in a world full of noise and tribulation. Thank you so much and please becareful as you explore and up lift the spirit of those of us who can't do it anymore. 💜👍
We all know you're talking about, Mr. I Found Butler Wash Ruins on Google Earth, himself, Alltrails Drifter. 🤣
Another superb posting. I like your comparison to a Chaco canyon site. The pines line up to give the impression of streams, abandoned streams, springs and underground springs. An exploration expansion that for some reason, never grew.
You are the Best Adventure The Trek Planner. I Enjoy your Hiking Experiences. You Are the most Respected Person , Experiences but not exploiting or Damaging . You will be respected by our Ancestors. Peace and Love on your Journeys. Respect.
Ya know, if I was an archaeologist in your area I would watch your channel to get an idea of places to dig.
Hopefully not. They just grab everything and it ends up in some archive drawer.
A lot of Native tribes hate archaeologists and wont have them on their reservations. Sadly decades ago they didn’t preserve sites, just destroyed everything in their searches. I was taken to a very sacred cave in S. AZ, we hiked quite a ways to it, with great excitement and anticipation. When we got there we were completely shocked. Every bit of dirt on the floor if the cave had been removed to the bedrock, so basically it was a big circle. There was absolutely nothing whatsoever left to show it had been a sacred place. It was completely destroyed. I was extremely shocked. I had no clue whatsoever that archaeologists did that sort of thing. I grew up in AZ and lived there for 26 years. I had Native friends who took me to completely off limits, sacred places that were astonishing, that they said they would never let an archaeologist see. I was also blindfolded several times and taken to sacred caves, where the Anasazi had lived. I was told they never ever even mentioned these caves to any archaeologists. Some looked exactly like the Anasazi had lived there yesterday. Everything… literally everything, was left exactly like the people were vaporized and all their belongings were left. It was mindblowing. I have never heard any definitive theories about what happened to them, as their sites are all over, just left like that, frozen in time, especially in the caves. I am very grateful and blessed to have seen what I was honored to see.
At about 6 minutes, the pile of rocks: It seems to me that to build such a structure would require a large number of people many of them finding and carrying rocks to the site, while others would be selecting and placing the ones that would fit into the structure. So, the pile might be where the rocks not selected (yet?) where placed.
The question is, was the structure really finished, under construction, or where they ever really finished????
Or as other have said is it some kind of grave? Which brings up the question of, what did they do with their dead? Guess I will have to see what I can find about that subject....
This is another amazing spot you have brought us to . I am fascinated by the questions you pose and all the footage.
How intriguing. This is quite a large site and the structure could have housed many people. Makes one wonder what their life was like at that time. Keep trekking!
I absolutely love watching your videos man! I look forward to seeing you every weekend man!
I appreciate that!! I have some really exciting things coming soon!! ;-)
@TheTrekPlanner Well thats cool man! Be safe! I cant wait to see you check out Devil's Tower, Mt Rushmore, and Crazy Horse monument!! Im sure there are great things for you to see there.
As always, it was a great and thought-provoking trip. Thank you for bringing us along.
So many mysteries when it comes to ancient people not only there but around the world.
One square was a building and the other an enclosed courtyard. Animals and children can be outside but safe. The pits were underground shelters/basements. IMO
What exotic pottery with those designs & colors.
There's tons and tons of the exact same kind of pottery all around the area I live. Pueblo style and some earlier examples. Some of it is really cool looking.
All those times and I thought you only speak English 😂, then suddenly Cebuano mixed in with the hat 🤣 Priceless! If the ruin has been that old, ie more than 700 years, one can only imagine the grandeur and the view of this homestead! Perfect subsistence location when there are plenty of springs nearby but very temporary at best!
I’m glad you noticed the Cebuano! amping! :-)
I think you nailed it. A water source nearby, Walls, meeting areas. Probably individual resident's. Must have been a small town. Very cool Jeff!!!
Love hearing the ambient sounds on your adventures, Jeff! (You even caught a ghost voice on one such trek!)
Keep relying on your clairsentience ('the feels', listening to your emotions, trusting your 'gut instinct')--no doubt what you sensed is correct about the sherds piled in one place. Trust your senses--they will always keep you safe! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Wow very interesting, I love seeing these ancient sites. Thank you for being so respectful while visiting them. Keep on trekking.
Another superb posting. I like your comparison to actual Chaco canyon sites. The pines line up to give the impression of streams, abandoned streams, springs and underground springs. An exploration expansion that for some reason, never grew.
Thank you for your Super Thanks!! I hadn’t noticed the trees lining up but I think you are right that there is something to that! This is why I love everyone’s comments. You bring new ideas to the table that I don’t consider 😊 Thanks again!!
-Jeff
As always, loved this Trek with you. It was really helpful getting an idea of the size when you were also in the drone footage.
Thanks Jeff, you are the real deal. I appreciate the respect that you show the sites and nature. I’m one of your STG fans.👍
I'm remembering running into a whole group of Indians camping in a large grove of Pinion Pines. It was late in September & they said they harvested pine nuts every year. They invited us to participate & those nuts were fabulous. I'm wondering if this could be an ancient harvest site since there are lots of pinion pines. This was really interesting. The world holds lots of mysteries. Thanks for this one.
Have you taken any anthro / archeo classes? Seems like you could have a lot of fun doing that to accompany your love for investigating these ruins. You'd be a great teacher too! None of it really matters as long as you are enjoying what you are doing.
Jeff, awesome find! Looks isolated out there. You could be right about it being a Chaco Canyon outlier. Enjoyed your exploration and drone footage. Thanks so much for being our eyes and ears (and legs) in these adventures!
Thank you, Kathie!!
I have been watching for a while, but just now got my Google account so I can like all of your posts. I like the way you talk. It's is very soothing. I'm enjoying all your adventures.
Thanks Jeff for taking me on your journey!
I'm 73 and can't "do" anymore but with the younger crows doin' it now I do get to watch and sometimes research for myself. My ancient family consisted of explorers, traders of the Hudson Bay co., And more than 1 Indian grandma. I love your work and hope you keep "doing"
Thanks for another amazing adventure, Jeff! The steep hill of pottery sherds looks like a midden (the pieces are really random - even with erosion, fragments from the same piece washing down a hillside like that tend to stay together). The site overall reminds me of the pithouses of the Basketmaker culture on top of Mesa Verde. The 2 pits are located within the irregularly shaped perimeter. That might have been living quarters and/or kivas, while the other side with square corners and no depressions could have been the workyard perimeter. An enclosure providing protection from the wind for small children, domestic animals, food-related activities, etc., while keeping predators and pests out. We may never know, but it's a really interesting find.
Was on big mountain quite a few years ago and the residents there took us around to look at bunch of old ruins. Nearly every old foundation had hundreds of pot sherds strewn from one doorway on just one side of the dwelling. They said that was the way they disposed of the old broken pots. They also said not to touch the pieces as they would cause sores.
A metropolis indeed! I see a full circle below one of the kivas not of the 3. On the other side of the creek, it looks to their possible farm with shallow ditches. The pottery is violence or departure. Both views are possible.
You and DesertDrifter are 2 of my favorite content creators for this sort of thing. Thanks for another great video!
I have friends who live in the Sonora and desert in Mexico. They have pits in the back of their houses. The reason the pits are there, is because of the dirt they used from the pits, to construct their houses.
Thanks for the cool find and thanks for being authentic. I appreciate being able to view honest content.
Thanks Jeff for another great adventure 😁
I watch some of the other exploring videos on RUclips, but you are my very favorite because of your honesty, integrity, and enthusiasm. You’re the best!
❤ I grew up in the cold wet northwest of england in liverpool, a busy city. Therefore I admire all the amazing sites from ancient talented people, love watching your interesting videos. Best wishes from an old scouser, a great grandmother x also love all the native american history so infirmative x 😊
First, thank you for these adventures.. I was wondering if the large rectangular fenced in areas might have been built to corral livestock of some sort or maybe they defined a garden. At the 16:14 mark if you look to the bottom right corner of the building you will see what appears to be a circular foot print which might hold some significance. Do you pass on these finds to the relevant authorities for possible future research?
I know we've seen a lot of similar construction in your videos, but usually inside some natural overhang, or cave. I think we've seen freestanding sites as possible lookouts located where they had a view all around. But I don't recall freestanding construction like this without being in a more defensible position.
Great! I’m just having coffee , found you pop up…watch for your trips…imiss the northern bush in Canada…your my trips!
Thank you for the silence. I could actually go back in time in my mind and smell the land.
I did some reading up on the burial practices of the Pueblo people. For their enemies, they would completely destroy everything that belonged to them, including pottery. Pyres were also used, although it was unclear whether they would use pyres for their own people. For their own people, they would bury them in pits, with everything that belonged to them. They would NOT destroy any of their belongings but bury pots, etc. whole. Hope this helps.
The black and white geometic and corrugated pottery is Puebloan, so not that of an enemy people. The midden/trash pile idea makes more sense in my thinking.
Thanks for letting us in on your exploration journey. Its is interesting to see what you discover.
I agree with the speculation about a trash heap for the area with all the pottery shards. I just recently learned of Monte Testaccio in Rome, which is a small mountain / mound comprised almost exclusively of broken pottery shards. Different time, different culture, but even so, broken pots need to go somewhere.
I always enjoy your adventures and thank you for allowing us to tag along. 😊
I used to find these types of walls in Central RIM country AZ.
Sometimes I found mass pottery shards outside the walls to 1 side, I think it was the trash dump.
Great find 👍
Another wonderful adventure!! Loved the sound of the wind when you were showing the site from the air.
Another great trip! Thanks for taking us along!

found many ruins out here in the wiilds of New Mexico, you found the shards on one side, because that's where the dump was, the pits are of course, Kivas, the main thing that you can look for is the water source, especially, if you are lost, a ruin will usually lead you to a place to find water. great vid! thanks.
I love your videos and always waiting for the new one! Thank you
❤wow loved the drone showing you walking across the site , it realy shows how huge the site was. I love your respect for the beautiful land and artifacts amazing thanks ❤ from Australia.
😊 And yet...another great hike!😊 Really enjoy seeing these places.
Jeff, thanks to you I now have a strong desire to travel, hike and explore. I enjoy your adventures and am grateful you take us along!
Maayong buntag pud nimo, Jeff! Daghang salamat kay nalingaw gyud ko pag-ayo sa imong mga videos🙂. Bag-o ra ko nga naka-diskobre aning imong channel unya nahibulong ko nga ngano and imong kalo Cebu. Nakapuyo siguro diay ka didto. Cebuana ko pero dugay na diri sa NY. Hilig pud ni nako ang imong gibuhat.
Thank you for taking us on your adventures of discovery. Man, the pottery pieces must have been wonderful when new, lots of care went into making something perfect.
Thank you another great getaway. 💯😎
Fantastic find, Jeff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Pines and juniper are very drought-tolerant plants. I appreciate the plant materials you show in your videos.
I love your channel. You started me on my first trek into these finds. Because of this, even some of the other channels whether popular or not, are still interesting. Thanks for opening my eyes to this wonderful historical adventures.
