Video

Thanks for the feedback- I'm actually still learning, a self-taught amateur. This is my first attempt at more documentary-style editing, and really my first time adding ambient sound that isn't music. I'll try to keep improving, appreciate you taking the time to watch!

@@adventuresena64 You will get better and I still enjoyed it.

Thanks bruv- hoping to learn adobe for future vids!

I need to watch on a different tv - on my parents I could hardly hear the music! Audio balancing has been my main struggle

Thanks for joining the adventure, this one was a Hoot 🦉

The main risk through early October is that it is monsoon season. Because of burn scars, certain areas can flood for a few hours at a time, but emergency alerts do a good job of getting you info early! I’d say if you pay attention to weather alerts you can do everything you’d usually do in Ruidoso right now and be safe!

@@adventuresena64 Thinking of going in September! You also have real nice video footage from the drone by the way😊

@cocoxtina8366 thank you, I only started learning to fly it this year, but hope to have a lot more drone shots in the future! Hope you all have a fun and safe trip whenever you do go up the mountain 🏔️

It definitely has a special place in our hearts- my brother and sister are Ruidoso Warriors and that was our home for many years. Now we still have family up there but it is our favorite vacation spot in NM!

Might have to scope it out for a future vid, thanks bro!

Semper Fi! I was a Corpsman for 5 years, GTMO, Norfolk, Gulf of Arabia aboard the Carrier Truman, deeply respect the Marines and especially Mustangs! Yeah honestly I'm a newbie when it comes to audio, appreciate the feedback, will try to balance better for the next ones. Are you talking about how "Anasazi" has been replaced by Ancestral Puebloan? I'm 20% Pueblo, it's interesting but the whole thing could be a mistranslation- Anasazi could have meant ancient ones, not ancient enemies. I don't believe the cliff dwellers were war like

​​@@adventuresena64 I write Anasazi as it is pronounced in Navajo. (Dine') .. Anaa = war Sa a Zi I believe is "enemy"... "Anaasazi" means "Ancient Enemy" in Navajo .. You can check that through the English - Navajo Dictionary online .. But the Cliff Dwellers were NOT the Anasazi... They were just the "cliff dwellers" to the Navajo, from which I gain my information... I have adopted the Navajo oral history, simply because the PHYSICAL evidence of many sites that they DID inhabit (proven by their pottery) and tools and dna testing of their remains, falls into line with the oral history... Even though the testing evidence is twisted into the pre conceived narrative of the college crowd and those who have never considered why many of the structures were torn down on purpose and all of the belongings were smashed, burned and left.. Neither do they consider the genetic differences of the bones and remains left at Canyon de Chely as being the remains of slaves being cannabalized as well as being fed too other slaves. I believe that evidence shows there, that many slaves choose death over consuming human flesh... and this required the Anasazi to aquire new slave groups from other regions... which reflects in the actual different rock laying methods of the construction of the site as is obvious on close inspection, the archaeological evidence ( misinterpreted) and Dine' oral history. Either way, it is obvious that something devastating happened between 700 to 900 years ago, that caused many people in the entire South West to seek refuge into many isolated areas and not only that, but into many extremely inaccessible and defensible places within those same areas. I just trust the oral history and the integrity of those who are trusted with it, much more than I do with some eggheads with agendas and narratives of fantasia and lack of ability to envision reality of life at these times. SEMPER FI 👍

What I am trying to relate, is that the Navajo, came about the same time that the Anasazi did or just a little before, and find the Puebloans as they are to this day. And they also find many other bands, including the Anasazi who came from the south. But grew weary of the slavery, murder and cannibalization by the Anasazi. So they conspired to destroy them. Which they did, down to the last infant and all of their things and homes. I believe that. Especially because science says "what happened to them?" Archaeology KNOWS that they just disappeared.

Damn you really do your research! I do follow Wally Brown the Marine and Navajo Elder historian, he often talks about this huge misconception and how the actual Anasazi were invaders from the south- it’s a shame the textbooks aren’t likely to catch up any time soon!

The names I post on each segment can be placed into google Maps- the only cart among these in a somewhat sketchy area is Cartlandia, otherwise they’re all in well trafficked, somewhat gentrified areas

I actually told my brother, I’ll remember this moment on my deathbed as one of my favorite memories! It really is life changing to experience nature at this level

Hopefully someday you can try the rosemary edition!! lol

Fascinating! I love to look into ancient religions and lore passed down through generations, it is a true mystery whether they were forced or just preferred the cliff dwelling lifestyle, from my understanding.

The local Navajo oral history says that they were living peacefully in the Mesa Verde, until the Ana' Sa a' Zi, who came up from the south about 900 years ago, raided them and took them into slavery and cannabalized them... Then, at some point, about 700 years ago, the Dine' banded together with other clans and tribes and completely wiped out the people they call the Ana' Sa a' Zi.. Modern archaeology had always misinterpreted these places as being Anaszi dwellings. But they were not. Chaco Canyon and Canyon de Chelly were supposedly Ana' Sa a' Zi, according to the Dine' (The People), as well as other smaller settlements where towers are built without windows, to house slaves. This is also what caused the influx of cliff dwellings for safety, which most date from tree ring dating to about 1200 to 1400 AD.. And is about the same time that the Dine' entered the area and began trading and gathering smaller bands into their tribes, such as the "Fremont" Indians... and many cliff dwelling people. Many of the open ground pit houses and rock structures have been credited to the newly fabricated "ancestral pueblo" .. which is also just a catchy name and a disastrous misnomer... Because the Puebloans themselves deny this is the case. As well, the Dine' claim that the Puebloans were here long ago, before either the Navajo or the Anasazi. But the cliff dwellers were people trying to escape the Anasazi.

@usmcmustang2972 I had heard these stories in a audiobook called House of Rain- it’s really fascinating. Interesting how what is publicly taught doesn’t even align fully with the actual anthropological reality!

Glad you enjoyed- that’s super exciting! The food cart scene here is world class, every pod has a standout or two. The Monte was honestly better than I’ve had in sit down brunch spots- that was Smaaken’s cart at the Asylum!

I totally agree- you’ll notice the little bit of in video audio I included is pretty bad quality, as there was copyrighted music playing everywhere I filmed. I plan to upgrade my audio soon so I won’t need to Dub music over all the dead silent bits!

It was supposedly a lb of crab but they could’ve shorted me! It was Skagway Seafood Co- and yes it was my first cruise, though I lived on an aircraft carrier at sea for quite a while!

You need to go to Hat Yai! Their house curry, brisket curry, sticky rice, roti (it’s actually paratha but whatevs), and their chicken is the actual literal best food in the state. I stand by that as a thicc foodie.

I absolutely love Hat Yai! Will need to do a special on SE Asian spots and feature them

Definitely, this is one of the most fun and dynamic desert courses I've gotten to play there at Lion's Wilderness!

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed! Next up is Bisti Badlands 🏜️

Awesome, glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

I’m glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching! 😁

That’s awesome- I really want to head further north- next time I’ll fly so I can take my time! Alaska is Oregon/Washington on steroids

They didn't have it, I did look! lol I also tried to find the Nasty Girl song by Tinashe

Much appreciated- glad you’re enjoying the vids so far! I got lots more on the way 🎥🍻🤘

At Bandelier there weren’t any tours that I could see, though I’d bet there may be special events offered by the rangers there. At Puye cliff dwellings, unless you’re a member of the Pueblo you have to take a guided tour through the area- both are really fun ways to explore these magnificent places!

Yes self exploration is allowed at Bandelier- though at Puye non tribal members have to take a guided tour !

@@adventuresena64 that looked exciting! Thanks!

@countdooku6523 truly an awesome experience super close to the biggest cities in NM! Can’t wait to check out the even larger dwellings in the Four Corners later this year

We’ll need to hit some Colorado spots together some time! It’s mostly unexplored territory for me. I only spent a few days in Denver before and didn’t even explore.

@@adventuresena64 I constantly tell people about the story where you thought you killed the chihuahua by sleeping on it only for it to raise its little head and wake up yawning after the best sleep it ever had

My god- what a dark yet adorable memory lol

Definitely, we gotta make it happen! We can do something in or around NM easy

Miss you chrissss

Hey I miss you too man I hope all is well for you! @csyumz

Y’already know homie! 🍹

I’m glad you enjoyed it, cheers!

It was definitely worth the short drive- I just wish I’d planned ahead for the drone permit! But I had to get this out for Mother’s Day. Just a good reason to visit again 😂

6:47 those are just 😍😍😍😍

Glad you enjoyed, happy Mother’s Day!

Glad you enjoyed it cuz! Love you ❤️

Next stop, Elon’s Moon base!

I really need to rewatch the Goonies again and return for a video on the house and film museum too!

That’s funny! I’ll need to rewatch Kindergarten Cop 👮 Now that you mention it that tiny spit under the bridge is the only sandy patch on the whole waterfront!

Wow- great question! So I read this info at the Astoria column on a plaque, but it’s possible the other 11 weren’t necessarily columns but different memorials. Here’s what I read “This was the “crowing monument” out of 12 other historical markers spanning from St. Paul, Minnesota to Astoria, Oregon.”

All part of my plan to lose an eye and wear a cool eyepatch!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks bruh, glad you enjoyed the vid!

Thanks Doxie- really wanting to lean into telling a story in each video, more like Bourdain’s style

You did well with the story telling on this one! Very informative with some great camera shots!

@Paradox_006 thanks mane! I will say the audio is still rough in noisy places even with the lav microphone- I may need to adjust the sensitivity

Much appreciated, glad you’ve enjoyed it so far 🍻

Thank you, glad you liked the video! I love you too ❤️

Hey nephew!! Lose some weight, you will live longer

Mind your own business, goofball!
