    He must be extremely brave to go into the superstitions by himself seeing as they are always finding bodies with their heads cut off!!!
    I wouldn't go unless there's a couple of people with me and we are all armed!!!

      Thanks for the comment and welcome to my channel! I guess anybody venturing into the wilderness alone has to be be at least a little brave, and as for the bodies: over time you just get used to them.😁

    Thanks from Australia. I enjoyed your hike. I've onlyu done a four night off trail hike out into the Organpipe Nat monument, a decade ago ... absolutely unearthly (for an Aussie). Beautiful Thanks again.

      Thank you for watching, and I appreciate the comment! Always nice to hear from people on other continents! A lot of the landscape around here still seems unearthly to me as well-- I guess its part of the reason I keep going out there. Surprises me every time!

      Unearthly because the cave is a hollow in petrified giant tree. See 'hangman1128'.

    Another great video my friend. I really miss our adventures (maybe we have one coming soon... May/June???). It would be fun if you covered your gear of choice. Do you wear or pack gators, leather gloves, a manchette???

    • @naturallytrailheaded
      @naturallytrailheaded  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks man! I agree, those really were some of the best times, and another group adventure is needed soon! As for covering the gear and such, I'm thinking of doing some of those types of videos, probably get those started this year. First featured product will definitely be the limited edition PPB Manchette!🤣

    You aint kidding. Seeing your car coming back from a long hike out there is a big deal. Seems like it takes longer to get out than it takes going in.

    Amazing! We just moved from Seattle to Queen Creek so we’re like 30-45 min from there. I’m not an experienced hiker and I don’t want to be one of those guys who need rescuing so I will just let you do the hiking for now. Thanks for posting. I just subscribed so looking forward to exploring with you👍

      Awesome, thanks for the Sub, and welcome to the desert! I, too, moved here from the PNW six years ago, and never regretted it. This state is a nature lover's paradise, although it does get a bit "toasty" in summer...😅 There's tons of well marked and accessible trails for newcomers, and I would definitely recommend getting out there and doing some exploring-- when it cools down of course! Thanks for watching!

They said you were just leaving , right ? He said yeah ! Got myself lost in the Goldfield Mountains so I know I could get lost in the Superstitions ! Didn't have GPS back then !

      Greetings! They're in the same area but they're different.

    • @naturallytrailheaded
      @naturallytrailheaded  11 месяцев назад +2

      It definitely looks like it was built, but that is just a random natural rock structure on the side of the wash! I actually had more close-up footage of it, but had to cut it due to the video getting too lengthy. I'll post the close-up video clip in the community section of my page when I get a chance so you can see it up close. Very cool!

    • @naturallytrailheaded
      @naturallytrailheaded  11 месяцев назад +2

      I took a couple screen shots from the video and uploaded those images to the community section of my page. I still stand by the "random natural rock structure" I mentioned before, but now that I look at it, an argument could be made that it was built there. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

      You're right, its a weird angle-- I'm looking up at a hill from inside a canyon-- but its definitely the moon. It was hanging around all day and I just had to get it in a shot! Thanks for the comment though, I'm always on the lookout for strange sightings in my videos!
