Another great off road adventure! The camping videos are my favourite but a close second are these drives to places I likely won’t be able to get to. It was nice to hear Slim again and thanks to Amy for the well done behind the scenes work! Btw….nice t-shirt.
Thanks! You’re in luck then about the camping videos because we have more coming! Should have one on Monday in fact and just got back this morning from yet another that will be out in a couple weeks. 😉
Glad to see Glenn and Slim "on the road again"! That ICBM silo was wild. Loved your references to the idiocy that spawns all that graffiti, as well as that short clip of Doc Holliday from Tombstone. Yes i sure did miss the road trips, thanks for a great comeback! 💫🏜️✨🌵
This was cool, thanks for sharing. My friend sent this to me - we grew up in north Tucson together and used to go out here to party in high school. We just called it "Red Rocks" due to the nearby water tower/exit/small farming community at I-10 which has now grown into a full on housing development. I had many...let's just say, formative experiences, in that desert!
Excellent video and thanks for the history lesson. We came across SASCO about 5 months ago by complete accident, and as a ghost town lover I was in heaven. We tried again in early February, but turned around at the water crossing after watching a truck nearly get stuck in the high water. Thank you again, your videos are truly exceptional.
Those water crossings can be tricky. No real way of knowing the condition before leaving. 🙁 But hey! Awesome on running across Sasco by accident! I bet it was a happy moment. 👍
First and foremost, gotta say that adding Slim AI's voice as an interactive tool is genius! He's kinda like the guy that will truly say what he's thinking...no filter! lol...wink wink! Not that Glenn isn't great by himself, but it adds a little more to the videos...and no one else is doing this that I've seen. This was a fun one for sure!
We've been to the museum a number of times and it's one of our faves. Nothing quite like it. It's definitely one of our goals to film but it would take both of us there as it's essentially a tour underground, so you only get one shot to capture everything, and we're not the types to ruin an experience/tour by blabbing into a camera. Thankfully I filmed Glenn turning the key when we recently went in Dec with family. I've been wanting him to be able to do that for ages! 😊
That's a really cool loop. Sasco looks amazing. I'd seen it in a book but sadly there weren't any pictures so had no idea how it looked. The big question is, where can we get the Cactus Atlas shirts?
I’m inclined to like Slim and wonder how he works because we travel a lot by car and his ability to navigate is impressive. We missed the Rooster Cogburn ostrich farm not knowing how interesting it is and Slim might have informed us about it? We enjoy your videos and we are falling in love with Arizona the more we visit enough I want to move there. Thank you 🙏
😅 Slim would love to help, but he's actually just us researching, writing a script, and using a text to speech tool to create his character. We DO have an old video of Rooster Cogburn, though. Emphasis on old video. 😂
What a fun little trip. I'm disappointed I didn't make that trip when I lived in Tucson those moons ago. I enjoyed the Silverbell Copper Mine or remnants of the best. Nice to have you back, Slim!
The AI crap scares hell out of me because of the possible evil that can be done with it. However your use of it is super cool. Well done brother,stay safe
Oh, I hear you. Some of the deep fakes and nefarious uses of AI scares me too. Especially thinking about the future and the advancement of it. But hey, if the 80s could have a talking Trans Am, what is the harm of writing a little script and running it through text to speech for a truck? 😅
Stumbled across your channel from instagram. This video peaked my interest because I live in Picture Rocks, about 8 miles from where you started. Then to my surprise, you passed me in my red work truck!😂😂
Thanks…i always wondered where that road went when it says Red Rock 20 miles because Red Rock is in the opposite direction so I thought it was a trap and i would end up like “ When the hills have eyes”
Arizona seco como o nordeste do Brasil o nome combina com o ambiente excelente cara então vamos conhecer o velho oeste americano kkkkkkk parabéns bom trabalho cactus obrigado 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have just started watching your videos. Great job of audio and video. I'm heading to explore the southwest at the end of May and have an interest in primitive camping. Is there any dispersed or BLM type camping along this loop in this video? Thanks.
Thanks! As far as that sort of camping, we're not entirely sure ourselves as it isn't something we do just yet. Hopefully someone else can comment with that knowledge. Sorry about that.
For the routing, is it OnX? What subscription do you have? OnX app says this loop is pretty hard, yet how do you feel(rate) about the difficulty of terrain in person? After watching your video, I want to follow the route with kids. Thank you!
Yup! We use OnX Offroads and just the Premium subscription. I think Glenn found the route pretty easy with the exception of few spots, but was still able to make the loop in 2WD. I would say having some clearance would be a good thing. But a 4/10? Not really. We have a video coming out Thursday that also gets rated a 4/10 and they are vastly different, so... the difficulty rating is one thing we find a bit misleading at times (then again, trail conditions can change).
You missed some entertaining things out there. Or you kept them to yourself? Which can be a good thing. I find new things out in that area everytime I go.
And.......... I don't think that "river" was the river "Santa Cruz" which gets muddy after heavy rains and several feet deep. Very prounounced dip in the road shortly before the Red Rocks dairy (?) farms. Dig the channel!
I spent about four to five hours total, but that includes all the stops, the filming, flying a drone, changing batteries, etc…. Could take less time if you spend less time at each location.
Oh, please believe us. We've made comments aplenty over the course of time on our channel about modern strip mining and our opinion of it. It wasn't the focus of this particular video though. There's really only so many times one can mention how much of an eyesore it is without sounding like a crabby person. 😅 But it does break our hearts when we see it.
Nice to have you back Slim, great video great adventure Cactus
Thank you kindly! 😄
Thanks for the great video of beautiful America and being a true American buying American supporting America !
Thank you! 👍

I love the open road
There's just something about it, right? 😄
Glad to see Glenn and Slim "on the road again"! That ICBM silo was wild. Loved your references to the idiocy that spawns all that graffiti, as well as that short clip of Doc Holliday from Tombstone. Yes i sure did miss the road trips, thanks for a great comeback! 💫🏜️✨🌵
We always love slipping in a Tombstone clip whenever we can. 😅 We hope soon that we'll be able to have a full video on the Titan Missile Museum.
So cool 😎.
Thank you! 👍
This was cool, thanks for sharing.

Okay, now that sounds like a fun place to hang out in those years. Far more interesting than where we had in my high school days. Hahah! 😅
Silverbell Mine & Sasco Loop are inspiring. The views are amazing as are the mountains. Slim's narration is on point. Love you guys. Take care.
Slim had a lot to say... think all the time sitting in the driveway got him worked up a bit. 😂
The Mountains are striped!!! How can you call that Beautiful???? @ susanasalinas4273
Great video! Glad to have Slim back 😂
Thanks! We're glad as well. 😄
Excellent video Glenn & Amy, excellent!
Thank you so very much! 😊

Thank you! We've been having a lot of fun inserting some humor in the videos. 😊
WOW! An ICBM silo. First time seeing one. Thanks for going for me. Glad I was an armchair quarterback for this trip. Take care.

Thank you. You cant please all of the people all of the time.
So true. So true. Thank you. 😊
Your slim videos are so funny! Love the commentary on the graffiti- sad but true- another fun video! Thanks!
Thanks! We have a lot of fun with Slim. 😂😅
Shoot yeah! Glad to have ol Slim back. Good trip yall!
Thank you! Slim is back to his adventuring and he couldn't be happier. (So is Glenn 😅)
That's a really cool loop. Sasco looks amazing. I'd seen it in a book but sadly there weren't any pictures so had no idea how it looked. The big question is, where can we get the Cactus Atlas shirts?
Hahah! We're working on it. Soon hopefully. Just a matter of the logistics and finishing some designs in process.🤞

Love Slim’s sense of humor, especially when he talks about the graffiti 😂
Haha! That's all Glenn's humor. 😊
What a fun little trip. I'm disappointed I didn't make that trip when I lived in Tucson those moons ago. I enjoyed the Silverbell Copper Mine or remnants of the best. Nice to have you back, Slim!
Slim is happy to be back as well. 😄

Yaya Slim you ole delectable Darlin 🥰 good to see Glenn and yourself out n about, doing what you guys do best, Hiya Amy 😁🥰
Love always ✨💛🍀
Hahah! I'm pretty sure if Slim could blush, he would be right now. Thanks! 😊
@@CactusAtlas 🤭 ahh bless 😂
That as brilliant, I enjoyed the Ghost town, you can imagine people staying in the Rockland Hotel, very
informative 😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! The hotel was quite the cool part. 😊
Slim,
I really enjoy your sense of humor! AND Wait...What?? Is Glen wearing Cactus Atlas Merch?
He is! It's mostly just a test shirt at this point to see quality and such. We're working on some stuff, though. 😊
Slim!😊
He's back! And he has plenty to say apparently! 😅
Stumbled across your channel from instagram. This video peaked my interest because I live in Picture Rocks, about 8 miles from where you started. Then to my surprise, you passed me in my red work truck!😂😂
Well, goodness! Isn't that that crazy! Small world! But hey, welcome and thanks for checking our video out! 😄
Thanks…i always wondered where that road went when it says Red Rock 20 miles because Red Rock is in the opposite direction so I thought it was a trap and i would end up like “ When the hills have eyes”
😂 Now that is a scary thought.
País desenvolvido é este, gosto muito da América gosto desse povo americano meus irmãos da América kkkkkk congratulations friend 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👍👍
Whoever smelt it, dealt it. (It was probably Slim.) A pretty cool trip. I’m with you on the graffiti. Ugh! Maybe Sam Elliot should kick some butt!
🤣🤣 Yeah, not sure why some of the graffiti has so be so... thoughtless and crude. Real shame. And Slim does run on gas soooo... 😂
It makes me want to get out there and spray paint! Just kidding!😂😂
Arizona seco como o nordeste do Brasil o nome combina com o ambiente excelente cara então vamos conhecer o velho oeste americano kkkkkkk parabéns bom trabalho cactus obrigado 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Obrigado! É incrível viver aqui com tanto do Velho Oeste ao nosso redor. 😊
Hey Glen I’m glad you and Slim are back together. 😂
Slim has been much happier now that he's back in action. 😄

Gonna go try this trail today. Hope it’s alright in my Nissan Rogue lol
Let us know how it goes!
You missed some entertaining things out there. Or you kept them to yourself? Which can be a good thing. I find new things out in that area everytime I go.
And.......... I don't think that "river" was the river "Santa Cruz" which gets muddy after heavy rains and several feet deep. Very prounounced dip in the road shortly before the Red Rocks dairy (?) farms. Dig the channel!
Honestly? We probably just missed them. 😂
How long a drive was the loop for you? I sm thinking about knocking itout one of the weekends soon.
I spent about four to five hours total, but that includes all the stops, the filming, flying a drone, changing batteries, etc…. Could take less time if you spend less time at each location.
@@CactusAtlas Thanks I appreciate the info.

The AI voice is awesome! Love the references to dumbasses who’ve grafitti’d so much of it.
Well done. I subscribed 😎
PS Tacoma > Colorado
Awesome! Welcome aboard! 😊
Hey slim
Slim sends his regards. 😊
It's unsettling how you glazed over the carnage of what the mine did to those mountains!!! You never showed them!
Oh, please believe us. We've made comments aplenty over the course of time on our channel about modern strip mining and our opinion of it. It wasn't the focus of this particular video though. There's really only so many times one can mention how much of an eyesore it is without sounding like a crabby person. 😅 But it does break our hearts when we see it.
I am gutted like a fish yet you say how Picturesque it is .... why?
I guess I’m not ready for AI. My preference is just to have Glen do all the talking.
Aww, sorry about that. 😞
What happen to your camera shy girlfriend and why are you talking to Dark Vader lol ?
I'm still here working on the channel with Glenn. 👍😄
Just discovered your channel and love your videos but not all the unnecessary talking (sorry, just being honest)
All good. Everyone had different likes and dislikes. 😅
6th grade education??? I think more like 1st grade!
