Outlook Ruin Redux

We did return to the ruin found years ago for the second time this year at the end of September. Did a picture post about that here and finally got a video done the last few days about the same hike. This was difficult to do for several reasons and I sure as hell do not like to be talking so much but that's the way it is. We did make it out there and back taking over seven hours. This thing is too long and that's the way it is as well because we had difficulties the first day. Pictures are nice but video gives a better idea what it was really like. We tried and the truth of the matter the results of what was done with pictures and such could have been much better. What I enjoyed the most about it was finding what had to be there which was an opening in the rocks to climb up a 90 degree wall of rock the same way the Anasazi did those hundreds of years ago. If you watch this thank you for that. TB

Outlook Ruin

Watching this will surprise you and we are actually a bit overwhelmed ourselves with this.

For a couple older guys we did well. And the truth of the matter is although it appears dangerous and it is we were very cautious and only a stupid move would have caused one of us to get hurt.

Also we want people to know we never entered touched or removed anything from this site.

We accomplished what we set out to do for the second time in 16 years with video. We hope you enjoy this short movie of an Anasazi ruin high in the sky and for certain never seen by many people ever.

If You Do Anything

Please take the time to read the post below titled Labor Day - The Reason For It And The Innocent Men Who Went To Their Death. If you have not seen this piece before or know the story behind it you will not be disappointed.  Sad perhaps but more aware for sure.

After work headed west again and will be back on Sunday. Will work on Monday to get a four day weekend to head back out to the Outlook Ruin to enter a different way and to visit another Rock Art site not seen before. I can't wait and hope it comes together.

Please be safe and enjoy your friends and family this holiday weekend. Thank you for the visit here at OTC.

Another View

This short film done by one of the few friends I have left using the same videos but different as it's set to music as well. It's about when we revisited the Outlook Ruin from the back side. I put this up today because I wish I was there or some place like it right now instead of going out the door in a few seconds to go to work.
