On Google Earth I located the ancient ruin of an abandoned gold miner's cabin in the harsh and desolate canyonlands of the American southwest.

    Geologist here. I'd be very surprised is that were a "gold miner's cabin". The brightly colored beds are most likely Chinle Fm. Cliffs above Moenave, The Kayenta and Navajo Sandstone are in the background. Gold has never been reported from any of these units, or from the formations below or above. Uranium was recovered from the Chinle and a bit from the Moenkoepi and Dakota Formations, but that wasn't until the 1950s. My guess, considering its setting, the cabin was built by a grazer running sheep or goats. Thanks for the great trip.

    Great video. You've done a great job on this one. Even the part about your socks, the ant hill, and the dead lizard was cool. Every bit of this video was inspiring.

    That's a perfect meal my friend. Nothing wrong with beans and rice. That's what is served for most Mexican meals. It's a perfect protein. Easy to digest and it even tastes good.
