    Wow, wild! Thanks Gabe! I knew Tatooine was partially filmed in Death Valley so I went looking for more info and found some notes including the identity of the elephant who played the Bantha. I may have ridden on that elephant at the park it came from (Marine World Africa U.S.A.) and surely saw it in an elephant show, and I never knew. For locations I found: Filming took place in five different locations in the park, including Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Desolation Canyon, Golden Canyon, and Dante’s View, all of which can be accessed from the Furnace Creek Visitor Center.

    Hi Gabe, finally managing to catch up on some of your recent videos.
    I really enjoyed this trip and always appreciate the historical information that you include during your narration.
    The formation that looked like the big skull instantly made me think of the The Goonies.
    I’m also not sure what goes through people’s minds regarding making a fire inside a mine, I would imagine a general lack of respect would be a key factor.
    The sunset camera shots you showed were fantastic and seeing the landscape as you exited the mine was also great.
    Thank you for sharing this excellent video with everyone. Best wishes to you, your family and the feline overlords 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

    A very interesting mine exploration; I hope you found gold and are now very rich. The sweet donkeys could help transport a lot of gold from the mine. The cute spiders seem to occur there more frequently. I've been thinking if it's damp in the mines or what else could be decomposing the wood. It brought me a lot of joy to explore the mines with them. Thank you very much for taking me along.

    • @saveitforparts
      @saveitforparts 10 месяцев назад

      It's actually really dry in the mines out there (and in the whole area!) A lot of the wood is in fantastic condition, if kids haven't tried to set it on fire. Even some of the metal is in good condition and not super rusty. I used to explore mines in Alaska and they are much more damp and rotten!

      A very common ore of silver is galena which is lead sulfide. It often occurs with argentite which is silver sulfide. All the gold mines in my area are absolutely chock full of tellurium which is even worse than lead. I share your lack of enthusiasm for being inside lead mines.
