  • Strange, giant carvings etched into the desert rocks outside Mesquite, Nevada-who made them, and why? We dive into this incredible roadside mystery and may have just solved it! Afterward, we visit Brigham Young's historic winter home in Saint George, Utah, for a fascinating look at the past, and finish with a secret Tiki mission at a one-of-a-kind shop in Cedar City. Adventure, history, and surprises await-let’s solve some mysteries!
    It was amazing to run into Pete Karns in the act! Unless you know the name to google it, nothing came up for me, so what a treat to stumble across a mystery and have it instantly solved

    Mister Justin, every time you say "I don't have any skills" we die a little inside. You are so talented and you do and are skilled at doing so much more than the average person. Please start to give yourself more credit. We are in awe of your creations and wish you'd see yourself through our eyes. On your quest for positivity... add yourself to the list. You are so remarkable and no need to put down anything you've done. Say nothing at all instead of ever slighting yourself. We adore ya! Thanks for adding light to darkness!

      100%. He's possibly the most skilled youtuber I watch that doesn't have a channel focusing on their skill (if that makes sense). Like sure, I watch a channel where a guy does amazing sculptures out of clay, but that is the purpose of his channel. I watch Justin, and he's just vlogging, but then he shows off this amazing wood carving, or reveals that he worked on some great music, or articulates a detail about life in such a way that makes me view the world different, and further my quest for positivity. Just so many skills.

    So excited you visited the sand sculptures in Mesquite. I have family there and visit them every time we go. I am always hopeful that they will get some notoriety. My favorite is the Statue of Liberty. Awesome video!!! Thank you.

      Additional add: The geologic formation is called the Muddy Creek and may be related to the paleo- Colorado River. Cool geology and art.

    Mr Pete…genius! I wish that he could be paid by the county for such amazing work! Thank you Justin! Your friend, whittle sticks, is such a master at his craft! I have two guitars that need to be fixed, but I am not in a hurry, because aI don’t know how to play them. (They belonged to my dad and his dad) . Loved the Tikis!

    I used to drive the Virgin River Gorge every week for years. I even filmed it and posted it to my channel a long time ago. I got so used to it, that I knew very turn and how far I had left. I even knew every spot the Highway Patrol would hide in (traffic would suddenly brake around them.)

    One of the places im homesick most of all is St.George Utah.
    Even though hubby and I were born in Oregon...wr spent 4 years in St.George when my 3 sons were small. Best time in our lives and theirs..we went to so.e park every weekend. Zion was a favorite for 3 small boys and they loved Valley of Fire in Nevada too.
    Wr did a trip to Roswell and it was amazing.
    Utah is my favorite place we lived.
    Watching you there..made me miss it so much.
    Thankyou for the info on Pete's carvings. Wow. I'm with you. These are the people that are the silent dreamers. More of this please.
    A free gift to the world.
    We are contemplating a trip to Utah..it's been a minute since we moved back to Oregon.
    Thanks for the memories kiddo ❤

    Ps.
    We were very much of the LDS culture.
    They are beautiful people who are family oriented...they welcomed us with open arms.
    They made our move there so much better and helped. We had 3 small boys at the time and pulled in at 2pm in 105 degree weather. And they helped us
    Best folks ever
    Loved all of this an
    As a newbie violin player. .this absolutely was my jam
    Thankyou kiddo. .again ❤❤

    WHEW! I’m Enthralled! What a day, such interesting clips…..You captured so much in one day. Luke, certainly is a Master in wood design,repair and knowledge. The stone carver was/is amazing….(Hope he wears a mask)…..You with your tiki pieces should be pushing them to wholesale/retail establishments. Great vlog! 🙏🏽❤️

    South of the Sphinx is the little Mt. Rushmore and the little Statue of Liberty which are all on googie Earth maps. Hey
    every person needs a hobby. Being retired like Pete Karns is gives you a lot of time to go do stuff and of course your
    endevours, with this drive by art, are enjoyed by others. Your friend Luke is amazing. He will never run out of work as
    music is important to both Mormon's and schools in the area that teach music. Nice tiki heads there Justin.

    I think since you went on this Nevada trip, one of your tiki carvings could look like one of the rock carvings in the way I think that would be a great inspiration one maybe do the Esther Island statue they kinda look like Tiki’s

    I just sent Luke the following text: "Hello, Luke! Am watching Justin’s video that includes his trip to your shop and have a question for you. I own 6.5 acres of woods in South Carolina that includes dozens of mature black walnut trees. Since purchasing the property three years ago, I’ve learned that black walnut is a valuable hardwood. Last year, we had a storm and one of the black walnut trees fell. Do you have any recommendations on how I could utilize this wood so it doesn’t go to waste?"
