  • Join me as I travel The Devil's Highway in the Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge and the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range along the southern border of Arizona and Mexico. This will be a 4 or 5 video series. The dirt road is 250 miles long and traverses some of the most inhospitable desert on the the continent. Plus, it's full of history and has been in use for a 1,000 years and was a major path for the Spanish to travel from Mexico to the California coast since the mid-1500's.

    A year ago I follow your trip to Arizona in the desert, and fall totaly in love at you way of story telling. That trip was the BEST, and gave me so much knowledge about the Indians i didn't know about.
    So I'm looking so much forward, to see you out here on this adventure!!!.
    You are the best, NO one can beat you doing this.!!!.
    Best regards from Denmark👍🏼

    Well-done! Best documentary video I've seen on the Camino. When I first went to Bates Well, in the mid-80's, one of the barns had a 1932 calendar with a picture of a pretty girl tacked to the wall. A friend who was with me was taken with her image, and he took a photo of it. We were all students at U of A back then. My friend kept the photo above his desk. A few years later, the woman he married was the "spttin' image" of the girl on the calendar. Keep up the good work, but be careful out there. Lots of smuggling going on and those people are ruthless.

    A saguaro with many holes in it has been visited by the Gila Woodpecker. The bird will drill several holes to get to the water stored inside. The saguaro seals off the hole with scar tissue to prevent water loss.

    I do really miss the desert adventures I used to embark on... don't be without water... don't be without food... don't get near the Choya Cactus... watch for rattlesnakes... watch for scorpions... don't have open sores because a hungry mountain lion will eat you bones and all in one hour... don't make any natives angry... survival games are not fun for anyone out there... yet... I love it so much... serenity... the Lord God Almighty is even there often.

    I just came to read all of the hate filled comments about giving thirsty people water, or saving people lives... As Mark Twain once said - “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

    • @bills6093
      @bills6093 6 лет назад +2

      Maybe we should have a couple of those beacons and water barrels in our large forested parks where people get lost, and not just on the border. If you get lost in the woods, get to a high spot and look for a blue beacon light, there you will find water and a magic red button.

    • @ErikjStudios
      @ErikjStudios 6 лет назад

      Thing is, we do have those in our large forested parks.... Theyre called park rangers...

    • @bills6093
      @bills6093 6 лет назад

      You can't see a park ranger from very far away, like you could a blue beacon on a tower. In fact, you could have the coordinates of the "rescue towers" put in to the GPS system so they show up on GPS device maps. The base of the towers could have basic first aid items, water, blankets, and food. The towers could also be used by people helping injured hikers who can't make it to the tower. I realize we could never have enough towers, the areas are too large, but we could have some.

      It's the home of Union General Robert Allen and several members of the "Fighting McCooks". My town was established in 1803 so theoretically there is a mess of history to be recovered. The other treasure I need recovered is the wedding ring of a friend who drowned in little beaver creek. It mean the world to his widow. It's a long shot but we know the exact location. The dam that caused the rushing water has been removed so the water is safe to enter now. I just need someone reputable to assist with the recovery.

  • @thegregtastic
    @thegregtastic 6 лет назад

    The formula to find distance from free fall time (in a vacuum) is h=1/2gt^2, or read as height equals one half the acceleration of gravity times the square of the free fall time. The acceleration due to gravity is ~9.8m/s, and using a stopwatch a few times to time the rock falling and averaging them, I ended up with 1.76 seconds. If you plug that into the equation, you end up with a depth of 15.18m, or 49.8 feet.
