MY HUSBAND, WHO IS ALMOST 80, WANTED ME TO SEND A MESSAGE AND LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE ENJOYS YOR ADVENTURES. HE LIVED ON THE TAOS PUEBLO AS A CHILD. AS A TAOS NM ARTIST, HAS PAINTED MANY OF THE ELDERS OF THE NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA PUEBLOES. HE REALLY APPRECIATES YOUR ATTITUDE OF HONORING THE PAST AND PRESENT AND BELIEVES YOUR SHOW IS A TRUE BLESSING. KEEP EXPLORING AND WE WILL KEEP WATCHING!

Evelyn is a pleasant addition. Thank you for introducing her.

[KMcKee-qnbo]

!!!! Evelyn is such a good balance and match for you. Thank you for this opportunity to see you two together.

Your wife is such a happy person you are so lucky to have someone like her that loves the same things as you

[JasonBrain]

Bro your wife is a real character! Glad you have her with you!

[chiphazzard]

That face sculpture is crazy. Who ever and whenever they did it and just left it there really left a treasure.

I really like your videos. I am part Apache and Pueblo Indian. My dad grew up in New Mexico near Pie Town on the Criswell Ranch. I am George Criswell's grandson. My dad told me stories about growing up on the ranch and how he would ride to the hills and explore the canyons, He said he found several of what he called cliff dweller ruins. He said they were well intact with whole pottery, arrowheads everywhere corn cobs, and burnt corn cobs still in the fireplaces. I never went to the ruins because my Grandfather sold the ranch which was over 46000 acres long before I was born. Anyway, I wanted to tell you this because I thought you might want to research it and maybe you could find the ruins my dad spoke about. The Criswell ranch is on the internet today as it is being sold off in chunks. I hope this becomes one of your videos. Thank you again for letting me relive a memory of the stories my father told me.

I met a girl from Wisconsin who asked me what I liked to do. I said I grew up hiking the trails above my home town of Santa Barbara. I asked if she'd like me to take her creek crawling and trail hiking up into the mountains above the city. We found miners cabins, metates, and the trails of the Chumash natives. We honeymoon hiked parks and ruins in New Mexico. We've been married for over thirty five years. Blessings on you both.

She's definitely a keeper, my friend. And I mean that in the most respectful way. I love when my wife travels with me on adventures...it's so much more rewarding and fun!!

[clinthowe]

You are very blessed to have such a sweet and beautiful companion in life.

[markmougine]

Bringing and including your life partner as you roam the earth is such a blessing.

[rockygrindstaff]

Lucky to have a wife willing to share in your passion. Don't forget to appreciate that

[PreventiveCarnivore]

Nice to see your lovely wife. Beautiful place to be together.

[pigsandapples]

Evelyn's smile radiates happiness and light. You're a lucky man Mr Drifter!

[zayang]

You need to definitely have your wife with you from now on because the trips/trails you hike are not always safe to be alone. She adds more life and love to your videos. She’s an extra pair of eyes and a great companion. Awesome video!

Hey there Drifters, just wanted to say thanks. I grew up in New Hampshire, and at age 17 hitch hiked out to Tucson. Loved it. I spent many years living and working in the South West, until I was transferred to an office in Eastern Washington in '89. I'm not an office guy, I worked construction as an electrician. I got to see quite a bit of the Southwestern USA over the years, but I didn't realize how much I missed it until I found your channel. Stay safe, won't you? I'm soon to be 73 years old, and somewhat relegated to the role of armchair explorer. You folks make that something that I can live with. So thanks, and my very best wishes for you both.

I used to think your wife must be a special person to let you run off by yourself all the time, but to have her join you makes her *REALLY* special! I enjoyed watching the two of you explore together, don't stop!

[valriew]

What a wonderful place to bring your wife. The word "ideal" comes to mind, as does "garden of Eden". Just beautiful! Lovely to see you Evelyn. Such a cute couple!

[aufornvic]

Having Evelyn along with you sure adds a new dimention to your video. I think this was your best one so far. The sculpture was a real surprise too. I really enjoyed this.

[ginawhite]

That carved rock was amazing and even though it was an ancient site and I do believe in leaving everything alone, it does say that human life goes on and that it wasn't just for the ancients, we really don't know how old that is but I don't think that it was such a bad edition. I think if there were only a few ruins out there that I would probably be more upset, but they're scattered all over the place and more are discovered every day, so yeah, that's pretty amazing. I hope you got a lot of pictures
