    First heard about this man on Joe Rogan, and have since done some research of my own because I find his work fascinating, as well as that entire history of the US.

    Were they brave or were they just stupidly following the foolish directives of the head of a religious cult who could have waited to see if it was feasible? And animal abuse subjecting them to this trip, Apologies in advance to any descendents.

    Wonderful presentation!! Dan that was the best I’ve ever heard about Coyotes. I wish others would hear this (hunters and farmers of the south east) and understand you simply can’t eradicate them. In doing so you kill everything else while the Coyote flourishes and lives on. Wonderfully spoken!

    I often wonder about the decision making process for who must go on these missions. I suspect this particular mission may have been influenced by the events of the Mountain Meadows Massacre and subsequent conviction and execution of John D. Lee. Perhaps anyone who voiced discontent with either event may have essentially been exiled.

    We stopped off in Bluff on our way from Moab to Monument Valley. The pioneer settlement is very well done and interesting. Some of the original structures are on display, and it makes for a surprisingly welcome rest stop.

    Interesting relationship with Jackals. Egyptian God Anubis is depicted as human with the head of a jackal. Some scientists speculate the original head of the Sphinx was a jackal. So there's a long history in many places of coyotes & Jackals as human avatars. 🤔

    This trail was used BOTH directions for over a year and a half from Bluff to Escalante and points further.. I did both sides of the Hole in the Rock Trail in a Jeep Liberty (vid on my channel),, and have done it in several other Jeeps,, and was in a boat on Lake Powell when I came across a marker in the middle of the lake pointing it out.. It is an amazing story of hardship overcome..

    As a Lyman, I am a direct descendant of these pioneers and have long loved hearing this story. I greatly enjoyed Lund's book Undaunted a few years ago and appreciate this video that brings everything to life with views of the actual area. Thank you to all who made this video possible and help keep the pioneer spirit alive!

    I am a direct descendant of the baby boy born on the trip-John Reo Larson. His name is misspelled on the monument at Fort Bluff. They spelled it Rio instead of Reo. We let them know but of course no way to fix it.

    as a direct descendant I am so proud to see this. A few years ago Jed Lyman and others took us by boat to the bottom. My father David Larson (almost93) made the trip along with three of my children. My daughter and a few actually hiked to the top and look down. We are forever grateful to the Lymans. We are eternally grateful to ancestors (Larson) who braved the journey.

    I remember looking up at the gap in the rock from Lake Powell when I was a kid. It makes quite the impression in person. The bit about Lee's Ferry was interesting. Jim Emmett, one of my Great uncles operated the ferry for a period of time. These folks were as wild as the countryside to ba able to live out there at that time.

    Did the church ever get the county & State to pave the road so they could build a visitor's center?

  • @Mackaygolf
    @Mackaygolf7 ай бұрын

    No, it's hard to put the remote nature of the location in context, which in turn, makes the paved road concept cost prohibitive. There's a visitor's center at Escalante, which is where you turn onto the gravel road (Hole in the Rock Road) that takes you 45 miles or so WAY out into the literal middle of nowhere.

    it’s amazing how much damage European white men have done to North America over hundreds of years I’m embarrassed to admit that I am of European stock. everywhere Europeans went, they screwed up the local peoples and the local ecologies. It’s a travesty what they did to the New World.
