    My brother and I notify each other immediately when a new Desert Drifter drops. Then we usually watch together, from our own homes. I’m 61 and he’s 59. It’s just one more thing that keeps us close. We just lost our mom and my brother has just this month rang the bell to signify his chemo treatments are finally over. We aren’t sure why Desert Drifter has created a powerful connection with us, but we are grateful. 😊
  • @bp4682
    I think the biggest thing I would worry about being out in the desert is bumping into other humans.
  • @daveminer9217
    For those of us who are "a bit aged and out of shape" , ....Keep up the great work and congratulations on your success!
  • @dreembarge
    One of the very best Youtubers going, IMO.
  • @spincube5734
    Thanks as always for taking me along !! ...................................................................and yes , please continue the Q&A segment !!
  • I appreciate your stance on your Christian faith…also your view on encountering dark spirits and how to react..do NOT engage and rely on your faith to protect you. I am also very impressed with your humble respect for the ancient sites you explore. Thank you for providing such exceptional, informative entertainment.
  • @hunterwyeth
    I admire your humility. It’s too rarely appreciated.
  • @ritafuentes4150
    Much thanks to you for documenting and filming this sacred land. Saved us all the hardship of hiking yet we can see it thanks to you and crew!
  • @susanalbone5101
    It’s such a shame when certain individuals feel the need to deface these ancient art forms and for what? Interesting and intriguing as usual. You have a very natural way of explaining things and being able to do what you do must be so satisfying and rewarding. Keep ‘em’ coming. Take care, be safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

    Andrew, there was something about you, your peace, gentle respectful demeanor , I couldn't put my finger on it; Now I know Who is reflected on you, , Who lives in you. Bless you my brother., citizen of Heaven.
  • @dianeknott3655
    Andrew, my late brother used to hike and camp in the American southwest also, mostly in Arizona, later in Colorado. He often hiked The Grand Canyon - alone. In response to your comments about how some places seem "haunted" or "spiritual", or perhaps exude some type of "feeling" you can't describe - he told me he often felt that in some specific places in The Canyon. He said the feeling was so intense that he shouldn't be there, that it was perhaps a sacred place of the indigenous people for some reason, so he would leave and never made an attempt to stay there for the night. He did later discover that one of those places had once been a burial site. So, you certainly aren't alone. Sometimes we just have to go with our instincts. We have them for good reasons. Great video today. Yes, please do more questions and answers.

    Your Q&A is one of the best I’ve watched. Mixing what you’re seeing with Q&A is genius.

    “ Keep in mind that the past is not history, but a much vaster region of the dead, gone, unknowable, or forgotten. History is what we choose to remember.” -Joseph J. Ellis
  • I'm a car nerd. That old car was a Chrysler product sedan from 1950-1956. Could have been any number of models as all the 4 door sedans shared the same body shell. I recognized the roofline and rear section immediately. I'm guessing a Plymouth or Dodge as its highly unlikely anyone would have had a high end Chrysler out there
  • @karenharker2356
    So glad to know that you are my Brother in Christ. thank you for sharing your faith!
  • As soon as I saw that Andrew had a new episode, I got SO excited. YESSS!!!
  • I am a Christian and appreciate that you told us about your faith. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures with all of us!
  • @alanscott3999
    My wife and I explored that canyon about 8-10 years ago, there's a lot of history there. There is a large name and date up high on the west side from a woman, who we later found her gravesite at the town's cemetery. She dated the wall when she was 12 and passed on when she was 14, possibly while giving birth? That town was also where Charlie Glass (locally famous Black Cowboy) liked to play poker and was where he was last see alive before his mysterious death.
  • I'm proud of you for preserving places in your films that will probably disappear completely in the future. Many thanks for trying to preserve history for future generations.
