VERY interesting! I liked the WWII history and the mountain climbing. We go off road a lot and always thought "mountain climbing" was straight up with gear. We are going to find some small mountains to climb. Thanks for the encouragement and the interesting vids!
I could never get " mountained out". I lived in Utah for several years in the early 1980's. There is such a majesty in the mountains. To see you climb them should make one wonder in awe of the forces of nature the created the mountains. I know live in Florida where all is flat. Sigh! Keep climbing the mountains and bringing us all along
thank you for sharing this! i pass through wendover so many times and i get gas or food. recently however, i stopped to mtb near there on some pretty fun trails. now i will stop to check out some of the stuff you pointed out in this video
I'd never heard of Danger Cave, so I did a google search. Sadly, I found an article on a Utah State Parks Blog site that said that the cave was recently vandalized: "The perpetrator(s) breached the gated and protected area located near Wendover and stole all contents; including educational artifacts, lighting, and safety equipment. Site Archaeologist and Steward, Ron Rood, discovered the incursion Saturday morning, May 11, 2019, when he came to the site to set up for a public tour."
That actually happened a day or two before I visited. Had no idea it had happened. At least there were no irreplaceable artifacts there for the thieves to take.
When I was in the Air Force ain the mid 80’s I was there at ‘bendover’ wendover and worked out of that hanger. They also created ball lightning in that hanger and you could see the burn marks on the cieling. Not sure if they are open to the public but somewhere out there are large rectangular pits that they used to roll the plane over to practice loading the bomb as the planes were too low otherwise.Looking at your video of wendover UT it doesn’t seems to have changed much. As a side note, I worked in southern NM in the hanger that they stored the atomic bomb before they exploaded it at white sands.
Last time I was at the Wendover Airfield - early 2000's(?) - there was a great little museum to explore. I would be very sad if it were no longer in existence. Hopefully it's just a part of the apparent renovation, as it really was a very educational experience.
Tristan, I would like to ask how you practise 'snake awareness" during your hikes & climbs? The horned toad & lizard captures were neat finds in this hike. Do you track cougar areas while planning hikes too. Have you got one of those emergency transponder devices on you while hiking? (probably answered this & I just missed it). You find interesting geographical & historical places but, you and your equipment are often isolated and a responder for a rescue could be a long time arriving. (if you've addressed this already oops) Stay Safe
I encounter snakes fairly often. I'd say I see a dozen or so a year, about half of them being rattlesnakes. I've seen probably 100+ rattlesnakes at this point. I've never had any problem with them. They don't want to bite people or get involved with us. They'll rattle if you get too close (as heart-stopping as it is, it's a great way to keep from getting to close and getting bitten). I've seen one cougar and seen tracks of a couple more, but the odds of seeing one, let alone being attacked by one, are just miniscule. Not something I choose to worry about. No, I don't have an emergency beacon or satellite tracker or anything like that, but I need to get one. Thanks for watching.
Stude' made excellent cars and pic-up trucks. They didn't sell well & were swallowed up by Nash, Rambler, AMC, & Chrysler eventually wound up with a few things like Jeep!

As long as you're climbing a mountain, I'd call it mountain climbing 😁
I liked seeing the hangar from the famous bomber
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching, Ryan.

Mountains are definitely one thing not lacking in this part of the country! Thanks for watching, Jan.

There's a lot to do in the area, for sure. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy all your videos. :) Good job.
Thanks, glad you like them!
Ty for that history information
Thanks for watching!
My father in law held the record at Bonneville in 1962 with his car The Redhead...as seen in the movie, Worlds Fastest Indian

Some people are just complete assholes...

Huh, interesting. Thanks for sharing, Jeffrey!

There might be a museum elsewhere in town, but I don't believe there's one at the hangar now.
I personally enjoy following along on all your adventures especially the hikes I can no longer do myself.
Thanks Martin!

@@SUVRVing Beautiful country but, there are hazards. Wondering if you were taking precautions & again taken care of. thanks for replying.
I've seen video of the drag racing on the Bonneville Flats. Pretty cool. I didn't know the BLM helped them arrange for that. That's neat.
I didn't know that either! Thanks for watching.
I love that area. The “nothingness” is stunning, there and to the N and S of there. Geology in that area is fascinating. Horned toad is a bonus.
Thanks Jim!
Thanks for sharing :-)

Wonderful video as usual. Really enjoyed it, especially the cave part
Thanks Eddy!
Great video. Do you mind me asking you what video editing software you use?
I use Adobe's Premiere Pro.
Awesome ! Loved this

When I saw World War 2 History, I 'ran' right over!
Nats make a great breakfast 🥞lol
