Brett, I just discovered your channel today and I am absolutely loving it! I’m an old (69 years old) cowboy that grew up in Tucson, Arizona and spent a lot of my lifetime exploring Southern Arizona’s old west historical sites. Like you mentioned in another video, 2023 was a rough year and it was for me too medically. Anyways, I am currently stuck indoors, but your videos are truly recharging my spirit as “I ride along with you” on your various adventures. Thank you! Quick question, who made your brown hat? That would make for another great “merch” product. Also, I just subscribed to your nephew’s channel “Mountain Misfits Outdoors”. I had to see what happened to the remote camp you setup for him. Thank you, Larry.

Have you been to the superstition mountains yet ? I have watched a bunch of videos about the mountains. But, now that I think about it, it would be too dangerous for you and your ànimals because of the old gold mines. Some of them are covered and some are not. One guy came within a few inches of stepping in one mine hole. It was not covered at all. Some are sealed up. Ènjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

Yes sir. Butterfield sent engineers ahead to survey the trail. So it stands to reason that it was in the best spot possible.

Here in Arizona, we have lot of Old Stage Trails when I was a boy they were still calling the mail Trails because they had used them right up into the forties for delivering the mail those Stagecoach Trails were never straight they went from water to water and it was amazing the amount of work they've done on them dry laid rock and stone water basins anyway that's something to remember never a straight shot
