  • We go four wheeling around our campsite and explore some abandoned gold mines around Oatman, AZ. There are tons of Jeep trails all around the area. Super neat to go off road on some of these super rough roads. 4x4 fun!

    This is Kevin & Nugget, we both loved this video SO much!! The mine was incredible, and the editing superb. Also the best time-lapse I have seen on a travel channel, way to go, Bex!!

    That hole surrounded by barbed wire looked more like a well than a mine shaft. The green covering the desert is so pretty!

    This brings back memories! I lived in Oatman for 10 years, and have been all over those roads, and hiked a lot of that area. Been to all these places!

    Brave girls! You can never be sure what's in those old mines. Usually in those old abandoned mines there is (still) gold. When I was in California many years ago, it was fun to find the quartz and then- -what was left of the gold vein.

    Got to see you twice in one day. Earlier I was watching Ausia's (PandaMonium) vid on Free Pancake Day and spied you looking pretty in Purple...and then I returned home this evening with a notification of a new video from you. It's great to see you out and about enjoying life. Love your little movies! Excellent choice in music, too. You're the BEST. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures.

    Your the best nomad LADY out there a spend your time with adventure in nature not going up & down the highways and pushing to sell products.

    Thank you for another fun Bex video. I wondered if you changed vehicles. Glad you went with a friend, looks like it could be a little dangerous with those mines. My favorite part (there were a few) was the time lapse at the end. How cool to see the evening sky by your Casita. I bought a Casita in December (you are part of my inspiration Bex) and I’m calling her Amelia. She & I start our adventures next month when she comes out of storage & I will be putting in a composting toilet as well. If you ever want to visit the Midwest (Chicago) and plan a trip, I’m game. I love Mammoth Cave for exploring. They have lots of different tours of various lengths & skill level. Welcome back. We missed you. Happy Travels ❤️🌵

    I'm surprised on how green it looks. I thought maybe you were using a special filter. Very pretty landscape. Needed a Jeep for that road! Whoa! You were much braver than I would have been going in that mine. Those things in the ceiling are called rock bolts. 09:41 breathtaking. 11:23 doesn't even look real, OMG wonderful shot.

    • @lindagolden9892
      @lindagolden9892 3 года назад

      Beautiful desert 🌵 landscape. I’d be ever
      so leery of entering any cave or mine as wild cats, bear, poisonous snakes and spiders might be snuggled down inside those cool dark places. Also to note might be poisonous gases; remember miners often had a caged canary with them for just such a warning. ☠️

  • @DFDuck55
    @DFDuck55 6 лет назад +2

    In my younger years I explored a lot of Northern California gold rush mines. My biggest pet peeve is when people throw rocks down shafts, winze, and ore shoots without first giving a verbal warning. You have no idea if there is someone else down there exploring, possible came in an adit you can't see. Throwing a 20 pound rock down there with no warning you could kill someone.

    • @BexCatherder
      @BexCatherder  6 лет назад +3

      That's a really good point. I will make sure to yell and let others know too. Personally, I'm not really into throwing rocks anywhere. :-)

    • @Don.Challenger
      @Don.Challenger 6 лет назад

      Exactly, when Bex said the adit went under the road towards the mountain I'm thinking another party comes by and drops a "boys will be boys" rock down just as they come to an airshaft - boom!

That could have hit me in the head. LOL That wash area is perfect for a metal detector. Your pretty gutsy to go in that mine. Beautifully done Bex. Have a good one.

    Lucky y’all didn’t encounter any wild creatures hiding away in those cool tunnels. I didn’t notice anyone packing 🐻, 🐍, or ⛰ 🦁 spray nor a weapon. In my humble opinion
    I’d want both forms of protection along with
    a large flare or lantern that could adequately brighten up the path one’s venturing down. Don’t want to fall down a sudden opening,
    get trapped, injured or just plan darn lost in there.🦉

    hi heres a little fyi I seen in your videos you did not have any level jacks under your back bumper and on my little 13 foot trailer I never put them either but my first night in the back at the bed and there was a big boom and my whole trailer flipped on to its rear bumper and water from the sink spilled all over me LOL.
    and by the way you have great videos

  • @IvyRoad
    @IvyRoad 6 лет назад +2

    Great opening! Followed by a terrific vid. Do you use a gimbal? The image stabilization in the jeep was amazing and I just can't imagine any camera's internal stabilization could handle that. Can you share what gimbal you're using? Thanks much!

    • @BexCatherder
      @BexCatherder  6 лет назад +1

      No gimbal. I was just trying my hardest to hold it as steady as possible. A couple of times it when we hit a really good bump, the camera or selfie stick hit the dash or windshield. 😀
