    Great video. Your viewers might want to know that you usually cannot get to Kirwin in the spring and early summer because the snow runoff makes the river impassable.

    Great video. Moved to Wyoming two years ago, in the Bighorn Basin. Finally made the trip up there late June, 2023. We parked down low and took side x side's up the trail. Beautiful country. Heard a comment about running water up there. You may have noticed a pipe coming off the mountain, lead pipe i think. This was a gravity feed water supply from springs up hill from the town. Loving it out here, so much more to explore.

    Thank you for making that arduous journey out there! I traveled out there in 2014 and filmed a documentary about Kirwin and actually spent the night in the old mill. What an amazing place! I haven’t seen it in 9 years until today! Kirwin the impossible journey is the name of the film. The trailer is on RUclips! The drone shots are incredible I had the first gen DJI Phantom without any stabilization or true GPS lock so footage was difficult back then! Awesome video, thanks again!

    Nice video, thanks. However, treaties with American Indians weren't "up: that is, they didn't expire. They were supposed to be perpetual. What "up" means in this case is that the treaty was abrogated, i.e., broken, by the US government, probably when gold was discovered in the treaty lands.
