If you get a chance go over and watch this video of mine .. it is one of my *FAVORITES * high high desert peak ruclips.net/video/f-3iAxVFUKE/видео.html
There is so much Apache history in SW New Mexico. My father, older brother and I walked many miles from Hermosa to the Animas, south seco, north seco, Reeds peak and places in between. I always imagined I was walking on the Apache footprints, sitting where they may have, camped and built a fire in the same spot. Watched a sunrise and set the same as they did. So many good memories. My father passed away at age 88 on Oct 8th. We recalled our moments in the Black Range before he passed. If you are still young enough go on an adventure with your father. Or many. The memories will sustain you when he passes on. Brett, thank you so much for your videos and the reminders of my trips in the beautiful Black Range.
Your welcome .. sorry about your dad sounds like a great man .. mine is 89 still in decent health .. I've been to those places you talk about in the black range .. I've been thinking about packing into a place in the Gila where my father took me on my first pack trip .. now after your comment I have to go .. Thank you
Neat video. I’ve always been interested in Geronimo and the Chiraqua Apaches. I agree with what you said at 23:08; once it got too narrow I’m headed back the other way!
This really hit home. I lost my dad 3 years ago. It still stings. A lot of regret about the plans we had and things we never got to do. Hopefully one day I'll have a son to share those experiences with.
New sub here. This video featured amazing production value, especially considering it was a one man operation. Hand held camera, tripod camera, drone shots, controlling multiple animals and navigating a wilderness. Thanks for taking us on the journey!😃
Agnes sure loves you. She will follow you anywhere. Proof that if you love and treat your animals with care and respect, they will want to be of service to you. Your dogs, too, are pure troopers. Always in the background, securing the perimeter. Great video.
Awesome I love it. I am Mescalero Apache myself. I've never been here and would hope to make a trip here. The Apaches back in the day really new the territory and new where to go to take shelter. I'm glad you made this video.
Just curious @tre2472, did you ever know Aiden Balatche? He was my neighbor for two years in high school, then my roommate for one semester at college. He was a Mescalero Apache, his family from Mescalero, New Mexico. He was a good man!
Really enjoy and appreciate your videos, I am now 66. As young boys and teenagers my dad would take myself and my two brothers exploring in the southwest traveling from Ohio in the months we were out of school. Had family in Tucson and Roswell. Dad passed 3 years ago at 84 of cancer. His ashes are spread amongst the deserts around Yuma where he spent a lot of his retired winters.
I am a 75 year old lady. Ive been a tomboy all my life. I'm not manly or gay. I have just always loved being outdoors, with my hiking boots on hiking some beautiful mountain trail. I live in Washington state, The
Your beloved horse,Agie,,has intuition,and knew she wasn’t going in there,so she turned around,she must have felt something . I noticed even your dogs didn’t go in,so they know something too! Animals have a sixth sense,they know before us. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed it!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I was talking to a White Mountain Apache man two days ago and he told me about Geronimo's cave in Arizona on the Reservation. He had me look it up on the internet but nobody knows about it to document it. Little do people know he had more than one cave. It's wonderful to see the history Geronimo played a part of.
Wrong group of Apaches. Geronimo wasnt from the White Mountains. He was Chiricahua apache/ Warm Sorings. They all got put in the Fort Sills reservation.
White mountain apache are traitors n the San Carlos apaches do not like them. Because they helped the calvary against Geronimo. They provided scouts to try n track n help capture Geronimo n Cochise. I know, I'm born n raised right here on the Gila n the Pinalenos n Chiricauhuas. Don't believe these yahoo's n don't believe everything you here on internet... this dude isn't even in the right area. Lmao... hey I have some oceanfront property in Arizona... if you'll buy that I'll throw the golden gate in too...
Yes and I know where 2 are... my best friend was Bylas Apache w Chiricauhua ... we spent many years together on many mountains.... We were wildland firefighters for 14 years together... R.i.p. El Chingon.
We at Teen Challenge continue to pray for your health. A small group of us watch your channel. Thank you for the bottle. We sent a little support your way, more coming next week. I personally enjoy this. Im from Carlsbad NM. We hunt. There’s some old-timers that trapped when I was a kid…
Yes the 2 eyes and nose 👃 I wonder if the crevices represents the brain 🧠 or functions of that part of the brain, I wish I could see the walls around maybe for paintings
I’d wondered if the rocks had been sanded down a long long time ago.. a message upon entry , to ward off strangers. I did deep cave walking, n scooting on your face n bottom. It must have been exuberance of my youth and peers.. I have claustrophobia then and now as an old timer. My heart raced watching you go further in. I spent time in Las Cruces area and hiked the Organ Range and went into Texas up into the mountains to see and follow the Butterfield Overland Mail Trail, I think it was the Guadalupe Mountains. So beautiful. We went from salt flats at the bottom up n up. The mountains there are majestic. Its incredible to read how mail , money , passengers too, in stagecoach going up to 100 miles a day. Cowboy riders n horses being switched out. I’ve read the trail went from Missouri to California.. 2700 miles.. This mode lasted 3yrs and ended in 1861. I need to read up on post Butterfield Trail.. probably extension of train tracks and Western Union? Love your video .. your Agnes is a devoted friend and your dogs.. great pack of protectors. What a great adventure!
Love the footage you get especially with the drone. It adds a whole new perspective to your journey and to our enjoyment of watching your adventures. Always great to see Agnes pluggin along and could relate to her resistance to going into that cave. It’s as if she was saying “this old cowboy is crazier than I thought he was, there’s no way I’m going in there”.
A great adventure. I never did learn to ride mules but I used to log with them. There are incredibly reliable and sturdy creatures. When I was a kid I use to hike with my father and brother in the area of Cochise's Stronghold in southern Arizona, long before it became a park. It was an amazing area to explore as a kid. With all of the cactus and rattlesnakes I am amazed you take your dogs with you. The Lord bless and keep you.
I love south Arizona, Tuscon, Sierra Vista is great, I feel like I've been there in another life when there. The wide open peace is crazy, the sky is unbelievable, I grew up east coast in mountains so geology is completely different than I was used to.
Good job! I really appreciate all your content. I was off work for 3 months with a total knee replacement and always looked forward to your videos, while I was healing.
It’s amazing to imagine the life Geronimo lived and the journey’s that he took. I live in Alabama and my family vacationed in Pensacola Florida out on Santa Rosa Island when I was a kid . Ft Pickens is located there and is the location where Geronimo and some of his warriors were held in the late 1880s … on the tour you are shown the area of the fort that was their living quarters. It’s was a amazing feeling to be there and also sad… they weren’t treated well, being forced to do hard labor from what I understand. What a amazing piece of history that your video shows.. thanks for sharing ✝️🇺🇸👆🏻
I look forward to each video, this one is fantastic! I’ve studied the southwestern tribes. I would love to go to these places. I’m disabled and can’t get that far from home because my wife is also disabled and can’t walk. But I get there through you. Thank you.
Your welcome and thank you ... if there is anything in particular you would like to see .. let me know .. if you can get on my mailing list and send me an email .. I got something for you and your wife .. again thank you
Awesome vid Brett. I broke 4 ribs about a week or so ago & they sharp ends are fractions of millimeters away from my lungs, heart & aorta so doc says no riding for 4-6 weeks.. can’t risk a fall or hard bump that could cause any penetration of bone into important stuff so I’m riding vicariously through you.. Thank you for posting
Glad I can help .. take care of yourself .. I know its hard I just went through something similar .. won't be long and you'll be back in the saddle . Thanks for coming along
Agnes was not sensing dead humans,,christendom has been peddling that immortal soul lie for centuries.Read the bible yourself and you find out that death is the opposite of life.The dead are totally unconscious Eccl 9:5-10.Psalms 146:4,,,1thess 4;13.Jesus himself described the dead as sleeping John 11:11-14.The wicked who die are asleep.Psalms 31:17,,,Psalms115:17.The soul is not immortal Ezekiel 18:4.Hell is not a place of torment.The bible says that Jeus was in hell Act 2;27-30.Hell is simply the greek word hades and hebrew word sheol translated in to english.All three words mean the same thing---mankinds common grave.When Adam died he went back to the dust he was made from,not a place of torment. Genesis 2:7,,,Genesis 3:19.I know all this comes as a shock to you,but just realize as so many gov and private institutions lie to you,,,so has organized religion.They are vestages of corruption and dishonesty.
G'day Brett thank you for the very informative history of Geronimos world and the beautiful countryside fabulous camera work you do and great music to suit.Growing up in the bushland of Qld Australia in the fifties as a kid I was always fascinated with the American Indian history in 2008 I flew to Cuba fly fishing for giant tarpon and at the airport in LA I met a descendant of Geronino he was on his way home after preforming traditional native dancing in Sydney Australia that sure made my trip not to mention the 70lb tarpon I caught.Safe travels and good health.
Glad to see you're doing well and back out there. Two years ago I was going to try doing the Geronimo trail that goes from Douglas Arizona to the National Forest in New Mexico. But after taking a drive out of Douglas, I decided rocks wasn't worth the risk. Someday maybe.
''' Watch For Me On the Mountain" is a biography of Geronimo I read years ago by Forest Carter, I believe. He also wrote the "The Education of Little Tree". This man is an exceptional writer and his Geronimo biography is beautifully written, powerful and moving.
@@BrettVaughnB100I am not Native American but I think public schools (and every American) should watch the Little Tree movie. So sad what they were put thru especially the children. Our government treated them ALL so horribly.
Pretty cool vid! I’d heard of that cave all my life, and had a great uncle get a long ways back in it , in the 1930s. He said he could feel the cross draft but never did get all the way through it.
It looks so much like Pyatt’s cave on the edge of Ft Huachuca. Cochise used to evade the cavalry there in the same way Geronimo did. It comes out in Mexico on the other side.
As always your videos are still my favorite.Brett I have the same heart problem that u have.I been in the hospital 3 times in a little over a year and half.I have had my heart shocked back into rhythm.I’ve had 1 ablation and it didn’t fix the problem so my cardiologist has plans on doing another ablation.So thanks to agent orange from Vietnam.Enjoyed this video as always.Keep up the good work and I’m waiting on the next one.Take care and thanks
Amazing! I’m still fascinated by the Indians and their many abilities. Their spiritual too. I was stuck in a cave once. Took me half an hour to wriggle free. Haven’t been in one since.
I have parodolia. I can see patterns in plywood and rock. When he enters that cave can anyone else see the Indian? It's where the natural lite is shining in. Amazing 😂
I met his great grandson named after him in Sedona several summers ago and he shared family stories at Red Rock State Park with us. It was wonderful to honor Geronimo.
A great video well done, I envy you living in that country and taking us along on your explorations is beautiful, hope you have many more like this.........
Thanks for sharing. Every time I drive by radium springs I think about the legend of Geronimo’s cave. I’ve always wanted to go check it out. A group of guys I know claimed to make it all the way through but they said you needed ropes. I was watching with my 6 year old and he noticed you got on the “wrong side” it opened up a discussion about on side and off side and that it was good to work with your animals to be able to do both. I thought it was funny so thanks for the learning opportunity for a kid.
Thats amazing that he noticed that because Agnes has never had a problem with it but it took me a long time to get comfortable doing it after so many years of getting on the other side .. but when your in steep country its lots easier to mount on the up hill side ... I have heard about guys going all the way thorough and I would sure like to know where they came out .. Thank you
All trail horses should be trained to mount from both sides. Otherwise you will find the "on" side on a downward slope and no chance to get on. It really is no thing to train it - you just do it.
Love to see your videos Brett . As I told you I live vicariously through them due to my health. Great trip today.Drone footage today was spectacular. Glad to know you’re better health wise .
What a BEAUTIFUL video! Thank you Brett. Wow! that areal footage is awesome and the music is awesome too. Again THANK YOU for such a beautiful video full of magic and legend.
My blind wiener dog Leroy loves to listen to your dogs hunt. He can sniff out anything but would walk off a cliff. Lol. BTW, I work for the Ft Sill Apache tribe here in Oklahoma. Amazing history.
I KNOW what you're steppin in! When I lived in the Ozarks of MO, we would tour caves and caverns all the time, loved it! 20 years later, about 50 yrs old, my girlfriend and I were in Chatanooga TN. They have the worlds deepest cave/cavern there and we bought tickets to tour it. You enter the cave system through an elevator which takes you to te bottom and you walk out back through the cave system to the outside exit. The minute I stepped out of the elevator into the cave my chest tightened up so bad I could not breathe "I'm in good shape, not overweight nor have I ever smoked. I could not breathe! The elevator had gone back up for another load and I told the guide to get it back down immediately! NEVER have I had this or anything like this, but I got so clostraphobic, I had to go back up and my girlfriend continued the tour. She said it was very very tight in some of the area, I would have passed out and had them carry me out! Crazy! But now, I'm so clostraphobic, any tight confined quarters set me off. So, I feel your pain brother, I could not go any further in Geronimo's Cave than the sunlit area's! Great video, thx!
Ah, the beautiful lower Colorado basin. Understand why you are here my friend. Nothing like the wind, that sweet purple cholla standing in the breeze. The pink sunset reflecting off the bright granite. From the grand canyon to tucumcari, this is the place. Not to mention nobody lives in New Mexico ! :D edit: And oh my the yucca you have there, makes sense I guess it is a canyon, but i'm guessing the side of this hill is facing East and gets a lot of sun as well ? :p Yucca has a lot of seeds, but is (in my opinion) the best fruit of the desert local to here. Problem is many of them are not viable, really hard to catch one at the right time in early winter.
It's not you feeling tight, but in that cave after you go back past the entrance light, in that big room the air is stale there, and get worse as you go back, you can use a lighter and only the tip will burn meaning low oxygen. The cave doesn't have a second exit anymore, if it ever did it's gone now.
Welcome back Brett. Glad health wise doing this ride. I am glad did not run into Geronimo and his people. Beautiful land, that is one thing you or I would never know, your riding where he could have ridden that’s great, untouched no buildings, homes. His people not chasing you. Is this before Geronimo came to Arizona? Kenny/Kid Yuma
That is the sad thing with your country, this thing with being so carefull where you put your foot. In Sweden we have the freedom to roam. Or every mans right. Noone can come and say you are trespassing. The wilderness, nature, forests, beaches, etc, is for every citizen to enjoy. Of course there are rules, like you can not cut down trees, yes you can take dead branches on the ground to make campfire and so on. Dont desturb dont destroy is the mantra, dont litter, and you will face legal action if you are caught doing that. But noone can put up signs saying private property. Well, the only limit is you do not get into the, so to say, closest area around the house they live in. But I do not have to check a map to see if that or that forest is private so I can not enter it. No I am allowed in there. Common sence and respect is the key word. But you are free to camp, pick berries, and you are free to fish along the cousts and the 5 biggest lakes in Sweden. But hunting is not allowed without the landowners promission. But you are free to move around pretty much everywhere. But of course you show respect and dont destroy crops or leave gates open when crossing areas where there are live stocks. The Swedes know not to stress the animals, you see the cows for example, so you keep the distance when crossing the meadow. It has worked fine since 1940.It was introduced just for the sake of the peoples physical and mental health in mind. They should be able to enjoy the freedom in the nature. I really think it would soften the common US mentality if you would introduce that system in USA. Of course it would take some time, maybe a generation, but then the people would start getting it with the "breastmilk", so to say, and would lighten up and start breathing more easier. That is what freedom is. Freedom is sharing, not guarding! Yes there will allways be those scumbags that show no respect. But the majority would cherish the responsibilty the Freedom To Roam gives!
This is the 1st video of yours Ive seen and i enjoyed it alot! Cant get out and do stuff like i used to but really enjoy seeing what you get to do so thanks for bringing us along thru your videos!!! Liked and subscribed! Not sure how it popped up into my feed but I am glad it did!
At least you had a good trail to follow up to the cave Brett lol. Thanks for the adventure, love the stories and tales. Old Agnus might have been the first mule in that cave👍🏻
Missed your videos. Ive crawled thru indian caves and mine shafts throughout AZ all my life. Didnt used to bother me. After 12 yrs living in OK i always have "what happens if there is an earthquake" lurking in the back of my head. So much history in them there hills.
Who are you Brett? Did you grow up in Cruces or are you a transplant? We used to party up at Geronimos cave (could be why they closed it🤔)... I left my email on your list... Sandy
Greetings from so oregon brother a man after my heart the love of history and this great outdoors i do alot of exloring but on two wheels adventure motorcycles im 70 and my knees arnt to good for walking to far ive done some riding on a friends mule named Sammy great trail animals just found your channel love it you got another Sub brother be safe and GOD BLESS YOU and yours
Good news, you're better and to and about! Back in the early 70s I hauled cattle from Crockett Texas to Chandler Arizona, I always thought the country coming into Las Crusus was pretty. Often wondered what was in the canyons and mountains around there. Good video! Lord Bless you.
I grew up in England, and as a child we use to yell out “Geronimo!” every time we would jump from a high ledge. His story reached all the way to England. Awhhh. Yes, I too wish that I was born about 150 years ago.
Theres a book called "Apache Mothers and Daughters," by Ruth Boyer and my moms aunt Narcissus Gayton Wheeler, thats the history of my family. It doesnt have my moms dads history though, he came from Seth Mooda and Loco and was the grandson of US Chiricahua Apache scout Paul Guydelkon Sr. My moms mom came from Carl Mangas, Victorio and US Chiricahua Apache scout Charles Martine Sr, my grandparents were cousins, which was frowned upon. It is what it is, all i can do is be proud of my history.
Thanks from the uk. Fantastic history lesson, spooky cave. Interesting cowboy with a beautiful mule and pack of dogs. 'Agnes don't like caves' . Far too sensible. From a new subscriber .
Ran around New Mexico and Arizona with my wife and four kids a toolbox a Triumph motorcycle on a trailer , an old antique camper on a 62,,4x4 chev pick up truck. I think back in about 1990. My oldest son said to me about 10 years ago Dad I'm sure glad you took us all those advenchers! because I can't do it! he had a wife and two kids and a lot of money !!and I was poor and was able to do it? I had to stop and pour grease into the axles in pumpkins everyday,,, the differentials we camped and stayed in Wild places only I was pissed off because they wanted money all the time to get into meteor crater the Petrified Forest in other places and we couldn't afford to do so it's robbery man:-) and on top of all that we were all the way from Wisconsin I left my log cabin when the snow started to fly and we headed west we went back in early spring
Geronimo was a toddler when trail of tears began and nearly a teenager by its end. That and the combination of Mexico - American war which came to its end in 1848. The USA gaining all that western territory through guadalupe hidalgo treaty. The USA gained more than half of Mexico's landmass thus including Arizona, New Mexico, Utah etc. conflict between Americans and the Apache? inevitable. Soon after trail of tears native Americans were no longer allowed to practice tribal traditions on American soil, i.e dances, marriages, feasts, faiths etc. it was punishable by death so said federal government. Geronimo, a man in the height of the native way being outlawed/destroyed which he witnessed a near complete genocide of the native way of life. The ban of native American ways wasn't completely lifted until 1994. We can now learn languages of our ancestors and their traditions but sadly so few of native American decedent even know it, many things are now lost. Cave tour was nice, thank you. My ancestors were eastern band Cherokee. I honor their memory even when I am nothing like them, we only share a bloodline.
the mule saw something that's why she walked out of that cave 20:11 also, the dogs were not by your side as always, animals can see ghosts, maybe people got killed inside that cave decades ago and now they are ghost roaming around that only animals can see.
G’day mate. Greetings from across the globe haha. I have to say I found your channel a few days ago and boy I tell ya, it’s great!! I wish I could have the opportunity to do as you do in your videos. But I have a question, would you be able to tell me the name of that cowboy hat you are wearing in this particular video? And possibly where I might be able to get one? I’d love one of my own. Onwards and upwards 👍
Thank you glad you found it ... this is an old hat that at one time was my good go to town hat .. rodeo king here amzn.to/3SABfMM they are kind of pricey but good hats .. the one I wear when I'm out riding is just about wore out but it keeps the sun off of me and keeps my head warm ..
@@BrettVaughnB100 thanks Brett I really appreciate that, to be honest in Australia you don’t typically see the bigger style American hats but I love it haha but in saying that we do have our own style of wide brim cowboy hats
Great video. Reminds me of victorios cave. White sands Denies access that was 35 years ago for me. I had heard about geronimos cave. Coronados Camino real. His death in the medicine man's picos revolt crossing Rio grand near bernallio seven cities of cibola. El Dorado it's all very real and lost to mother Earth and history. Good job❤good report old cowboy. Still a few of us left
If thats the cave across from Fort Shelden,as you go in a to the left there's a place where it goes straight down with a pinnacle of rock sticking out where you can she where many ropes have gone around it to lower things down.
I use to fish and hunt at Ft Seldon before it was a park in the 60s My family owns a farm and orchard within a mile of the park. This was Victorio country. Membres Apache
What cool history behind the cave. I'm with you 100% about feeling tight and closed in, I don't like tight closed in places lol. When I get me a mule I would love to take that ride on the trail with you. I don't care for going with a group of people but 1or 2 people incase something didn't go right to be able to help each other. I don't mind. I guess I'm just an intervert when it comes to people. I like people. I just don't want to hang out with them lol. Glad everything went well with your heart issue it's good to see another one of your videos. Thanks for showing us such cool places, take care
These videos get me a bit misty as my life is disapearing my dream are fading quickly as i am getting older and received 4.8 million dollars in brain surgerys to keep me alive for what to sit and watch my dreams fade away id rather of saved our country the 4.8 it aint worth living this way. God bless
Yeah I wanted to ride my mule there and was a little concerned about crossing the river .. still a lot of water .. and I have my hounds with me ... Thanks
Can definitely understand how easy it would be to become lost in the desert! Got turned around once in the mountains near Jackson. Scared me enough to not take stupid chances again.
Rough country respect to the Apache traveled these lands. Agnes just wants to go home reminds me when I was a kid we rent horses in those days they just put you on a horse you could go out no guide. The horse would walk really slow going away from the stables. Soon as you turned back towards the stables that horse would pick up the pace.
If you get a chance go over and watch this video of mine .. it is one of my *FAVORITES * high high desert peak ruclips.net/video/f-3iAxVFUKE/видео.html
is this the salt river?
There is so much Apache history in SW New Mexico. My father, older brother and I walked many miles from Hermosa to the Animas, south seco, north seco, Reeds peak and places in between. I always imagined I was walking on the Apache footprints, sitting where they may have, camped and built a fire in the same spot. Watched a sunrise and set the same as they did. So many good memories. My father passed away at age 88 on Oct 8th. We recalled our moments in the Black Range before he passed. If you are still young enough go on an adventure with your father. Or many. The memories will sustain you when he passes on. Brett, thank you so much for your videos and the reminders of my trips in the beautiful Black Range.
Your welcome .. sorry about your dad sounds like a great man .. mine is 89 still in decent health .. I've been to those places you talk about in the black range .. I've been thinking about packing into a place in the Gila where my father took me on my first pack trip .. now after your comment I have to go .. Thank you
Another great video 👍
Neat video. I’ve always been interested in Geronimo and the Chiraqua Apaches. I agree with what you said at 23:08; once it got too narrow I’m headed back the other way!
This really hit home. I lost my dad 3 years ago. It still stings. A lot of regret about the plans we had and things we never got to do. Hopefully one day I'll have a son to share those experiences with.
My late Pop's took me on many....and taught me so much about the Hills of Virginia and beyond....❤
New sub here. This video featured amazing production value, especially considering it was a one man operation. Hand held camera, tripod camera, drone shots, controlling multiple animals and navigating a wilderness. Thanks for taking us on the journey!😃
Awesome, thank you! It is a chore .. lots of work but I do enjoy it .. and your welcome!
Awesome
Excellent production. Almost unbelievable 😅 ... what a world! I'm melting, melting. You are my last hope, no pressure, just come up clean. Namaste
Agnes sure loves you. She will follow you anywhere. Proof that if you love and treat your animals with care and respect, they will want to be of service to you. Your dogs, too, are pure troopers. Always in the background, securing the perimeter.
Great video.
We are a team .. Thank you
Come on Agnes!
Agnes: No, thank you!
I have much respect for Geronimo and I have always said he is a Great Warrior and a Great Man.
It would be a great honor to go to this cave
Awesome I love it. I am Mescalero Apache myself. I've never been here and would hope to make a trip here. The Apaches back in the day really new the territory and new where to go to take shelter. I'm glad you made this video.
Thank you .. yes they knew where to go and how to survive
I am too this was interesting to watch
Just curious @tre2472, did you ever know Aiden Balatche? He was my neighbor for two years in high school, then my roommate for one semester at college. He was a Mescalero Apache, his family from Mescalero, New Mexico. He was a good man!
Old Nana a was 90 year old mescalero apache war chef who did raids with geronimo and victoro

Your right ..none of them liked it in there .. thanks
blah blah blaaaaah
One thing I’ve heard about mules is they are all about self preservation 😅 while a spooked horse will run off a cliff a mule would turn around
@@outinspace3083mustangs are smart like mules. They are always on alert.
The animals are lazy and simply want to go back to the barn. Nothing enchanting turned them away. However I still enjoyed the content

We at Teen Challenge continue to pray for your health. A small group of us watch your channel. Thank you for the bottle. We sent a little support your way, more coming next week. I personally enjoy this. Im from Carlsbad NM. We hunt. There’s some old-timers that trapped when I was a kid…
Wow thank you I really appreciate it!!
Thank you! God bless you and Agnes (and the dogs)!
Thanks
Did anyone else notice the face 💀 at the back of the cave
when he first walked in .
Great adventure thanks for sharing
Thanks... I didn't notice until I seen the footage ..
I did strait away, looks like a skull to me.💀
Yes the 2 eyes and nose 👃 I wonder if the crevices represents the brain 🧠 or functions of that part of the brain, I wish I could see the walls around maybe for paintings
I’d wondered if the rocks had been sanded down a long long time ago.. a message upon entry , to ward off strangers. I did deep cave walking, n scooting on your face n bottom. It must have been exuberance of my youth and peers.. I have claustrophobia then and now as an old timer. My heart raced watching you go further in. I spent time in Las Cruces area and hiked the Organ Range and went into Texas up into the mountains to see and follow the Butterfield Overland Mail Trail, I think it was the Guadalupe Mountains. So beautiful. We went from salt flats at the bottom up n up. The mountains there are majestic. Its incredible to read how mail , money , passengers too, in stagecoach going up to 100 miles a day. Cowboy riders n horses being switched out. I’ve read the trail went from Missouri to California.. 2700 miles.. This mode lasted 3yrs and ended in 1861. I need to read up on post Butterfield Trail.. probably extension of train tracks and Western Union? Love your video .. your Agnes is a devoted friend and your dogs.. great pack of protectors. What a great adventure!
Yep, I saw it , too!
Love the footage you get especially with the drone. It adds a whole new perspective to your journey and to our enjoyment of watching your adventures. Always great to see Agnes pluggin along and could relate to her resistance to going into that cave. It’s as if she was saying “this old cowboy is crazier than I thought he was, there’s no way I’m going in there”.
lol she did go in just didn't want to stay .. Thanks I try to show different perspective's
A great adventure. I never did learn to ride mules but I used to log with them. There are incredibly reliable and sturdy creatures. When I was a kid I use to hike with my father and brother in the area of Cochise's Stronghold in southern Arizona, long before it became a park. It was an amazing area to explore as a kid. With all of the cactus and rattlesnakes I am amazed you take your dogs with you. The Lord bless and keep you.
I love south Arizona, Tuscon, Sierra Vista is great, I feel like I've been there in another life when there. The wide open peace is crazy, the sky is unbelievable, I grew up east coast in mountains so geology is completely different than I was used to.
Went on a pack trip in the greybull wilderness Wyoming , they are much calmer and sure footed on mules, I take them any day over horses.
Is this in the Dragoon Mountains or in Crooke's Springs?
Good job! I really appreciate all your content. I was off work for 3 months with a total knee replacement and always looked forward to your videos, while I was healing.
Thats great thank you ... hope the knee healed ok
Agnes is one great mule. The dogs are keepers as well.
It’s amazing to imagine the life Geronimo lived and the journey’s that he took. I live in Alabama and my family vacationed in Pensacola Florida out on Santa Rosa Island when I was a kid . Ft Pickens is located there and is the location where Geronimo and some of his warriors were held in the late 1880s … on the tour you are shown the area of the fort that was their living quarters. It’s was a amazing feeling to be there and also sad… they weren’t treated well, being forced to do hard labor from what I understand. What a amazing piece of history that your video shows.. thanks for sharing ✝️🇺🇸👆🏻
I bet that was interesting .. and a shame really .. Thank you
I visited that fort and felt the same way.
He was locked up for for raiding, raping and mutilating settlers.
Important piece of history, but lets not pretend they were nice people
I look forward to each video, this one is fantastic! I’ve studied the southwestern tribes. I would love to go to these places. I’m disabled and can’t get that far from home because my wife is also disabled and can’t walk. But I get there through you. Thank you.
Your welcome and thank you ... if there is anything in particular you would like to see .. let me know .. if you can get on my mailing list and send me an email .. I got something for you and your wife .. again thank you
Awesome vid Brett. I broke 4 ribs about a week or so ago & they sharp ends are fractions of millimeters away from my lungs, heart & aorta so doc says no riding for 4-6 weeks.. can’t risk a fall or hard bump that could cause any penetration of bone into important stuff so I’m riding vicariously through you.. Thank you for posting
Glad I can help .. take care of yourself .. I know its hard I just went through something similar .. won't be long and you'll be back in the saddle . Thanks for coming along
Agnes was no fool. She sense the presence of others in there.
Spooky spirits .. Thanks
Agnes was not sensing dead humans,,christendom has been peddling that immortal soul lie for centuries.Read the bible yourself and you find out that death is the opposite of life.The dead are totally unconscious Eccl 9:5-10.Psalms 146:4,,,1thess 4;13.Jesus himself described the dead as sleeping John 11:11-14.The wicked who die are asleep.Psalms 31:17,,,Psalms115:17.The soul is not immortal Ezekiel 18:4.Hell is not a place of torment.The bible says that Jeus was in hell Act 2;27-30.Hell is simply the greek word hades and hebrew word sheol translated in to english.All three words mean the same thing---mankinds common grave.When Adam died he went back to the dust he was made from,not a place of torment. Genesis 2:7,,,Genesis 3:19.I know all this comes as a shock to you,but just realize as so many gov and private institutions lie to you,,,so has organized religion.They are vestages of corruption and dishonesty.
The thought about 'how is Agnes going to turn around' popped into my mind just a couple of seconds before you mentioned it! Seems she did ok :)
Pretty flexible lol thanks
Glad you got to go on this adventure. Your dogs are great companions and beautiful to boot !
Thank you .. they are good company
G'day Brett thank you for the very informative history of Geronimos world and the beautiful countryside fabulous camera work you do and great music to suit.Growing up in the bushland of Qld Australia in the fifties as a kid I was always fascinated with the American Indian history in 2008 I flew to Cuba fly fishing for giant tarpon and at the airport in LA I met a descendant of Geronino he was on his way home after preforming traditional native dancing in Sydney Australia that sure made my trip not to mention the 70lb tarpon I caught.Safe travels and good health.
lol sounds like a good trip .. I do like the west and the history of the Indians that lived here .. Thanks
So evocative , that cave holds amazing vibrations. Brilliant video, thank you Agnes , wonderful to watch this adventure 🙏💗
Thank you!
Really interesting commentary and exploration. How do your dogs avoid getting cactus spines in their feet? Agnus looks like a real good companion.
She is a good one .. they learn to get around in it and if they do get any they can pull them out with their mouth .. thanks
Great video, thanks. I grew up in Radium Springs, been in that cave several times. I'm 78 now and greatly appreciate your perspective.
Thank you .. I bet Radium has changed alot since you were here
Ole Agnes was a trustworthy and reliable mule ... I'm sure you miss her very much.. She had to have been a good friend.
Glad to see you're doing well and back out there. Two years ago I was going to try doing the Geronimo trail that goes from Douglas Arizona to the National Forest in New Mexico. But after taking a drive out of Douglas, I decided rocks wasn't worth the risk. Someday maybe.
I will have to look that trail up ... is it a long one? .. Thanks
''' Watch For Me On the Mountain" is a biography of Geronimo I read years ago by Forest Carter, I believe. He also wrote the "The Education of Little Tree". This man is an exceptional writer and his Geronimo biography is beautifully written, powerful and moving.
I will have to look it up ... Thanks
He was also Buster Carter, speech writer for Governor George Wallace.
@@BrettVaughnB100I am not Native American but I think public schools (and every American) should watch the Little Tree movie. So sad what they were put thru especially the children. Our government treated them ALL so horribly.
I heard it was written by a white supremacist member.. seriously.
Pretty cool vid! I’d heard of that cave all my life, and had a great uncle get a long ways back in it , in the 1930s. He said he could feel the cross draft but never did get all the way through it.
That would be cool ... I just don't like caves very much .. Thanks
It looks so much like Pyatt’s cave on the edge of Ft Huachuca. Cochise used to evade the cavalry there in the same way Geronimo did. It comes out in Mexico on the other side.
I have my mule saddled and ready to go on another adventure with you!!! 😁
Linda from Missouri 👍🥰😊♥️
lol Thanks .. keep them in shape cause we are going to making some more .. Thanks !!!
Glad to see ya again. Good to see your in good health. May God grant you many many more adventures. I sure enjoy watching you and your animals.
Thank you I do appreciate that ..
As always your videos are still my favorite.Brett I have the same heart problem that u have.I been in the hospital 3 times in a little over a year and half.I have had my heart shocked back into rhythm.I’ve had 1 ablation and it didn’t fix the problem so my cardiologist has plans on doing another ablation.So thanks to agent orange from Vietnam.Enjoyed this video as always.Keep up the good work and I’m waiting on the next one.Take care and thanks
I hope they get it fixed ... I'm not so sure my ablation totally worked .. still feel some fluttering when I sit down ?? Thank for watching
Amazing! I’m still fascinated by the Indians and their many abilities. Their spiritual too. I was stuck in a cave once. Took me half an hour to wriggle free. Haven’t been in one since.
Me too .... Being stuck in one would drive me crazy I think ... Thanks !
@@BrettVaughnB100 I certainly lost a few of my 9 lives that day. Guys with 50” chests don’t belong in caves!
I have parodolia. I can see patterns in plywood and rock. When he enters that cave can anyone else see the Indian? It's where the natural lite is shining in. Amazing 😂
I'm from Geronimo descendant.
How blessed you are.
I met his great grandson named after him in Sedona several summers ago and he shared family stories at Red Rock State Park with us. It was wonderful to honor Geronimo.
I loved this,,You and Your Mule are Adorable, Love how you treat her...Excellent Video.. Stay Safe Always🙏🙏
We would be great friends! I was born 100 years too late too! I can't wait to see history out there again!
Thank you for bringing this to life for us!
Thanks .. I think there are a lot of us
I find this VERY fascinating! And your birds eye done footage?? Outstanding!! We are going to that part of NM this winter.
Have fun! Good place to be in the winter time .. Thank you
A great video well done, I envy you living in that country and taking us along on your explorations is beautiful, hope you have many more like this.........
Thank you, I will try
Thanks for sharing. Every time I drive by radium springs I think about the legend of Geronimo’s cave. I’ve always wanted to go check it out. A group of guys I know claimed to make it all the way through but they said you needed ropes. I was watching with my 6 year old and he noticed you got on the “wrong side” it opened up a discussion about on side and off side and that it was good to work with your animals to be able to do both. I thought it was funny so thanks for the learning opportunity for a kid.
Thats amazing that he noticed that because Agnes has never had a problem with it but it took me a long time to get comfortable doing it after so many years of getting on the other side .. but when your in steep country its lots easier to mount on the up hill side ... I have heard about guys going all the way thorough and I would sure like to know where they came out .. Thank you
All trail horses should be trained to mount from both sides. Otherwise you will find the "on" side on a downward slope and no chance to get on. It really is no thing to train it - you just do it.
That’s a beautiful mule, I want to find myself a good four legged friend to go on adventures with.
As the economy tanks, there will be many fine animals for nearly free. It has happened before.
Love to see your videos Brett . As
I told you I live vicariously through them due to my health. Great trip today.Drone footage today was spectacular. Glad to know you’re better health wise .
Glad I can help .. thank you very much .. kinda tricky riding a mule in the rough and flying a drone lol
@@BrettVaughnB100 I thought the same same
you're my hero Brett. I feel and say, I'd rather die trying to live my life, than set idle worrying about dying.
Thank you .. absolutely .. gotta keep going
Amen my friend
Wow what a cool adventure! Loved it! Thank you!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it .. more to come I hope
Another great video and history lesson Brett Thank you so much for sharing a beautiful place where I will never be able to see doing it on my own.
Thank you ... glad you got to see it and came along for the ride
Really good video. Best video on RUclips.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow, thanks!!
Awesome trip. Great video footage. Love the Wild West and its invaluable history.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
What a BEAUTIFUL video! Thank you Brett. Wow! that areal footage is awesome and the music is awesome too. Again THANK YOU for such a beautiful video full of magic and legend.
You are so welcome... thank you very much .. glad you noticed the music .. I worked hard finding some that would fit .. Thank you
My blind wiener dog Leroy loves to listen to your dogs hunt. He can sniff out anything but would walk off a cliff. Lol.
BTW, I work for the Ft Sill Apache tribe here in Oklahoma. Amazing history.
Thank you ... give Leroy a treat for me lol
I KNOW what you're steppin in! When I lived in the Ozarks of MO, we would tour caves and caverns all the time, loved it! 20 years later, about 50 yrs old, my girlfriend and I were in Chatanooga TN. They have the worlds deepest cave/cavern there and we bought tickets to tour it. You enter the cave system through an elevator which takes you to te bottom and you walk out back through the cave system to the outside exit. The minute I stepped out of the elevator into the cave my chest tightened up so bad I could not breathe "I'm in good shape, not overweight nor have I ever smoked. I could not breathe! The elevator had gone back up for another load and I told the guide to get it back down immediately! NEVER have I had this or anything like this, but I got so clostraphobic, I had to go back up and my girlfriend continued the tour. She said it was very very tight in some of the area, I would have passed out and had them carry me out! Crazy! But now, I'm so clostraphobic, any tight confined quarters set me off. So, I feel your pain brother, I could not go any further in Geronimo's Cave than the sunlit area's! Great video, thx!
Man I understand .. I've gone down in Carlsbad caverns but it is big lots of room .. real deep but not as tight ... Thanks
Ah, the beautiful lower Colorado basin. Understand why you are here my friend. Nothing like the wind, that sweet purple cholla standing in the breeze. The pink sunset reflecting off the bright granite. From the grand canyon to tucumcari, this is the place. Not to mention nobody lives in New Mexico ! :D
edit: And oh my the yucca you have there, makes sense I guess it is a canyon, but i'm guessing the side of this hill is facing East and gets a lot of sun as well ? :p
Yucca has a lot of seeds, but is (in my opinion) the best fruit of the desert local to here. Problem is many of them are not viable, really hard to catch one at the right time in early winter.
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us! Absolutely stunning!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
It's not you feeling tight, but in that cave after you go back past the entrance light, in that big room the air is stale there, and get worse as you go back, you can use a lighter and only the tip will burn meaning low oxygen. The cave doesn't have a second exit anymore, if it ever did it's gone now.
Welcome back Brett. Glad health wise doing this ride. I am glad did not run into Geronimo and his people. Beautiful land, that is one thing you or I would never know, your riding where he could have ridden that’s great, untouched no buildings, homes. His people not chasing you. Is this before Geronimo came to Arizona? Kenny/Kid Yuma
Yeah pretty sure I wouldn't want to meet them face to face lol .. Thanks Kenny
That is the sad thing with your country, this thing with being so carefull where you put your foot. In Sweden we have the freedom to roam. Or every mans right. Noone can come and say you are trespassing. The wilderness, nature, forests, beaches, etc, is for every citizen to enjoy. Of course there are rules, like you can not cut down trees, yes you can take dead branches on the ground to make campfire and so on. Dont desturb dont destroy is the mantra, dont litter, and you will face legal action if you are caught doing that. But noone can put up signs saying private property. Well, the only limit is you do not get into the, so to say, closest area around the house they live in. But I do not have to check a map to see if that or that forest is private so I can not enter it. No I am allowed in there. Common sence and respect is the key word. But you are free to camp, pick berries, and you are free to fish along the cousts and the 5 biggest lakes in Sweden. But hunting is not allowed without the landowners promission. But you are free to move around pretty much everywhere. But of course you show respect and dont destroy crops or leave gates open when crossing areas where there are live stocks. The Swedes know not to stress the animals, you see the cows for example, so you keep the distance when crossing the meadow. It has worked fine since 1940.It was introduced just for the sake of the peoples physical and mental health in mind. They should be able to enjoy the freedom in the nature. I really think it would soften the common US mentality if you would introduce that system in USA. Of course it would take some time, maybe a generation, but then the people would start getting it with the "breastmilk", so to say, and would lighten up and start breathing more easier. That is what freedom is. Freedom is sharing, not guarding! Yes there will allways be those scumbags that show no respect. But the majority would cherish the responsibilty the Freedom To Roam gives!
This is the 1st video of yours Ive seen and i enjoyed it alot! Cant get out and do stuff like i used to but really enjoy seeing what you get to do so thanks for bringing us along thru your videos!!! Liked and subscribed! Not sure how it popped up into my feed but I am glad it did!
Awesome! Thank you!
When he entered the cave, could anyone else hear the faint sound of chanting? First thought it was on the soundtrack but barely audible
I did that with the editing .. it worked thanks!
At least you had a good trail to follow up to the cave Brett lol. Thanks for the adventure, love the stories and tales. Old Agnus might have been the first mule in that cave👍🏻
lol yeah a regular highway .... I bet she was .. unless those soldiers or any of those Indians had mules lol Thanks
@@BrettVaughnB100 👍🏻
the name of the mule is Agnes, not agnus 🙂
I like the mule Agnes. It looks like riding a mule may hurt more than walking to the rider and the animal. I'd rather walk.
lol it don't hurt once you get use to it .. Thanks
Missed your videos. Ive crawled thru indian caves and mine shafts throughout AZ all my life. Didnt used to bother me. After 12 yrs living in OK i always have "what happens if there is an earthquake" lurking in the back of my head.
So much history in them there hills.
lol I had that same thought .. and yes lots of history .. I do want to visit some of those places ..Thanks cactuspatti !
Who are you Brett? Did you grow up in Cruces or are you a transplant? We used to party up at Geronimos cave (could be why they closed it🤔)... I left my email on your list... Sandy
Greetings from so oregon brother a man after my heart the love of history and this great outdoors i do alot of exloring but on two wheels adventure motorcycles im 70 and my knees arnt to good for walking to far ive done some riding on a friends mule named Sammy great trail animals just found your channel love it you got another Sub brother be safe and GOD BLESS YOU and yours
another fantastic video; keep up the adventures and thank you for making them.
Thanks, will do! or will try lol
So cool dude 😎, bring me a horse. I would love to go for that adventure! So cool. Awesome video
One of the best videos I've seen. Agnes looked very happy to get out of there. Thank you for taking us somewhere we'll probably never go ourselves.
Your welcome .. thanks for watching
Ya funny thing is we were all Americans, Americans against Americans we’re still doing that childish behavior
Good news, you're better and to and about! Back in the early 70s I hauled cattle from Crockett Texas to Chandler Arizona, I always thought the country coming into Las Crusus was pretty. Often wondered what was in the canyons and mountains around there. Good video! Lord Bless you.
Thanks ... bet it looked different in the towns back then ..
Not as much traffic nor as many people.@@BrettVaughnB100
Geronimo was my favorite apache and his history is wonderful
Another good one! I really enjoyed seeing the country and hearing the stories. Great filming.
Thank you very much!
Geronimo probably played hide and seek in there as a kid.
Sir,chaps for men, leggings are women:)
I grew up in England, and as a child we use to yell out “Geronimo!” every time we would jump from a high ledge. His story reached all the way to England. Awhhh. Yes, I too wish that I was born about 150 years ago.
lol .. I think there are many of us .. Thanks
Theres a book called "Apache Mothers and Daughters," by Ruth Boyer and my moms aunt Narcissus Gayton Wheeler, thats the history of my family. It doesnt have my moms dads history though, he came from Seth Mooda and Loco and was the grandson of US Chiricahua Apache scout Paul Guydelkon Sr. My moms mom came from Carl Mangas, Victorio and US Chiricahua Apache scout Charles Martine Sr, my grandparents were cousins, which was frowned upon. It is what it is, all i can do is be proud of my history.
Thats right be proud .. Thank you
Thanks from the uk. Fantastic history lesson, spooky cave. Interesting cowboy with a beautiful mule and pack of dogs. 'Agnes don't like caves' . Far too sensible.
From a new subscriber .
Thank you .. her and me both don't like them
Ran around New Mexico and Arizona with my wife and four kids a toolbox a Triumph motorcycle on a trailer , an old antique camper on a 62,,4x4 chev pick up truck. I think back in about 1990. My oldest son said to me about 10 years ago Dad I'm sure glad you took us all those advenchers! because I can't do it! he had a wife and two kids and a lot of money !!and I was poor and was able to do it? I had to stop and pour grease into the axles in pumpkins everyday,,, the differentials we camped and stayed in Wild places only I was pissed off because they wanted money all the time to get into meteor crater the Petrified Forest in other places and we couldn't afford to do so it's robbery man:-) and on top of all that we were all the way from Wisconsin I left my log cabin when the snow started to fly and we headed west we went back in early spring
Sounds like a heck of an advencher .... great memories they will never forget ... money isn't everything .... Thanks!!
Geronimo was a toddler when trail of tears began and nearly a teenager by its end. That and the combination of Mexico - American war which came to its end in 1848. The USA gaining all that western territory through guadalupe hidalgo treaty. The USA gained more than half of Mexico's landmass thus including Arizona, New Mexico, Utah etc. conflict between Americans and the Apache? inevitable.
Soon after trail of tears native Americans were no longer allowed to practice tribal traditions on American soil, i.e dances, marriages, feasts, faiths etc. it was punishable by death so said federal government. Geronimo, a man in the height of the native way being outlawed/destroyed which he witnessed a near complete genocide of the native way of life. The ban of native American ways wasn't completely lifted until 1994. We can now learn languages of our ancestors and their traditions but sadly so few of native American decedent even know it, many things are now lost.
Cave tour was nice, thank you. My ancestors were eastern band Cherokee. I honor their memory even when I am nothing like them, we only share a bloodline.
Good info .. Thanks
the mule saw something that's why she walked out of that cave 20:11
also, the dogs were not by your side as always,
animals can see ghosts,
maybe people got killed inside that cave decades ago and now they are ghost roaming around that only animals can see.
Maybe huh? Thanks
Very cool. Be careful out there brother. You may want to take a friend with you. You never know when trouble will find you. God bless.
G’day mate. Greetings from across the globe haha. I have to say I found your channel a few days ago and boy I tell ya, it’s great!! I wish I could have the opportunity to do as you do in your videos. But I have a question, would you be able to tell me the name of that cowboy hat you are wearing in this particular video? And possibly where I might be able to get one? I’d love one of my own. Onwards and upwards 👍
Thank you glad you found it ... this is an old hat that at one time was my good go to town hat .. rodeo king here amzn.to/3SABfMM they are kind of pricey but good hats .. the one I wear when I'm out riding is just about wore out but it keeps the sun off of me and keeps my head warm ..
@@BrettVaughnB100 thanks Brett I really appreciate that, to be honest in Australia you don’t typically see the bigger style American hats but I love it haha but in saying that we do have our own style of wide brim cowboy hats
The Jornada Del Muerto ( Dead Man's Walk) is an ugly stretch of desert along the Camino Del Rey ( King's Road ) which goes clear to Santa Fe.
Yep .. goes through my backyard ..
Awesome adventure! Thanks for letting us tag along. Greetings from Panama🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🙋🏽♂️
That was very cool thanks for taking us along and sharing the story, and great back around music too, God Bless
Thanks .. trying to be creative ..
Great video. Reminds me of victorios cave. White sands Denies access that was 35 years ago for me. I had heard about geronimos cave. Coronados Camino real. His death in the medicine man's picos revolt crossing Rio grand near bernallio seven cities of cibola. El Dorado it's all very real and lost to mother Earth and history. Good job❤good report old cowboy. Still a few of us left
Good stuff .. wish I could get on white sands... Thank you .. just a few
It would have been scary if GERONIMO was there 🐷🇬🇧
lol No kidding .. Thanks
If thats the cave across from Fort Shelden,as you go in a to the left there's a place where it goes straight down with a pinnacle of rock sticking out where you can she where many ropes have gone around it to lower things down.
I didn't go in far enough .. seems like I remember seeing that years ago ..I went in there in the 80's Thanks
We have one thing in common.... I'm a 13th generation Lee! Also born 100 years late...due to the Lee's waiting till older to have children
Thats a good thing I guess? Thanks
I use to fish and hunt at Ft Seldon before it was a park in the 60s My family owns a farm and orchard within a mile of the park.
This was Victorio country.
Membres Apache
My brother in law and I use to fish down by Rincon when I had my farm .. some pretty nice catfish in the river .. Thanks
Pretty awesome video,Brett! All I could think was that those buffs looked like a good place for a cat to be hanging out!!
If you watch the video Starving LIon .. she was caught right below this
@@BrettVaughnB100 ok I’ve watched it but I didn’t realize it was the same area. I’ll have to watch it again.
What cool history behind the cave. I'm with you 100% about feeling tight and closed in, I don't like tight closed in places lol. When I get me a mule I would love to take that ride on the trail with you. I don't care for going with a group of people but 1or 2 people incase something didn't go right to be able to help each other. I don't mind. I guess I'm just an intervert when it comes to people. I like people. I just don't want to hang out with them lol. Glad everything went well with your heart issue it's good to see another one of your videos. Thanks for showing us such cool places, take care
Your welcome .. I think we are a lot alike .. get that mule and let me know .. Thanks
Enjoyed the video and the story. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it.. will be making more ..Thanks
I remember 30 years ago.....i enjoyed living this life however not so much fun anymore
I guess some people out grow it .. hope I never do .. Thanks
These videos get me a bit misty as my life is disapearing my dream are fading quickly as i am getting older and received 4.8 million dollars in brain surgerys to keep me alive for what to sit and watch my dreams fade away id rather of saved our country the 4.8 it aint worth living this way. God bless
I'm so sorry .. hope fully you will find a better way .. take care and god bless .. Thanks for watching
You took the long Scenic route. This is a cool place to hike to in the fall. Sad to see a lot of spray paint in and around the cave. Great video
Yeah I wanted to ride my mule there and was a little concerned about crossing the river .. still a lot of water .. and I have my hounds with me ... Thanks
Can definitely understand how easy it would be to become lost in the desert! Got turned around once in the mountains near Jackson. Scared me enough to not take stupid chances again.
Not fun .. thanks
Rough country respect to the Apache traveled these lands. Agnes just wants to go home reminds me when I was a kid we rent horses in those days they just put you on a horse you could go out no guide. The horse would walk really slow going away from the stables. Soon as you turned back towards the stables that horse would pick up the pace.
Yes Agnes can be the same .. yes those Apaches were tough for sure .. Thanks
