EISPIRATEN

You have to sneek up on em but they're somewhat used to humans. In the summer they lose that winter coat and look like the ones you photographed.

Check this one out. An invasion of bighorns in Colorado. There were about 40 of them.

It doesn't go anywhere, so I'd say no reason to restore it. Could be done though with some shovels. The rock base is still sound.

Thanks. It seems to be getting worse every year with all the new dirt piling up. When it was flat they used to ride mules over it.

LOL, thanks. Never again though. Makes me lean to the right every time I watch it.

Those were sheep bones. They've been up in that same area for years, probably still there. The first time I crossed that was easy, but the second time storms had washed a lot of dirt down on the trail. One part has a 50 degree slope (scary).

Yeah, I got rid of that site and started doing YouTube videos.

I had a feeling somebody had found it since I dug it out of the brush.
It was in a slightly different location and the sign posts were kinda wacky. I doubt that many people have seen that.

I think that was the original location, just a mileage sign put up by the forest service. Supposedly when the trail was in good shape you could rent mules from Follows Camp and ride across it safely.

I took this footage about a year ago, the second time I've crossed it. This trail (what's left of it) was built in 1911, so it's even older than the Wetwater Trail in the Narrows. The section I crossed was chiseled out with jackhammers. The Pacific Light & Power trail ran all the way from Camp B...

Here's a one minute short of San Antonio Canyon Falls (what people call Stoddard Canyon Falls).
On the day I shot this a moron was pushing little kids off the top, including a four year old.

Here's some old shots of the in and around the mine before two of them were gated. There are three of them in all, one is fifty feet above the main, the third is about 1000 feet upstream. This was back in the day when I had a cheap camera and used a flash to take terrible photos. In the old days whe...

There are tons of mines near where you live. I recommend the Big Horn if you're ever in the Wrightwood area. It's huge, and most parts are safe. A lot of people go in there, biggest in the San Gabriels. If you're ever in the San Diego area I'd recommend checking out the Eagle Mine, they give tours. ...

The Victor and Cripple Creek region was the second biggest producer of gold in U.S. history. There are still mines galore out here and many of the structures are still standing. I put up two videos on YouTube, the abandoned Miners Cabins and Abandoned Mines. These are just a few of the over 500 mine...

That prairie was getting too insane. Lucky I got those snake gators at the right time. The anti-venom for those snakes is at least a hundred grand.

If I do any more skulls I'm going back to the more condensed restaurant grade peroxide. It does a way better job, way faster. Just a little pricey.

Ever since I moved to Colorado I've been wanting to film rattlesnakes, but wasn't quite sure where to look. Then one day I saw a story on the local news about a six year old boy who was bit by a Prairie Rattlesnake at Bluestem Prairie Open Space. Sadly he died four days later. But that gave me the t...

Taxidermy is pricey. Depends on how big the animal is. If you find something that is in good shape they recommend you freeze it as soon as possible. There are also good and bad taxidermists, so make sure you view a few photos of what they've done before. For fish they charge by the inch, about $11 t...

Is there anything in this world that doesn't offend you Dima?

Creepy Joe approves

Not sure.

That stuff was found on the prairie, east side of Colorado Springs. There aren't any rodents with skulls that big out here other than prairie dogs. One skull had a damaged eye socket, so they were probably killed by hawks or falcons.. There are badgers out here too. That would be a dream find. Googl...

A few new additions to my morbid collection.
The first are skulls from prairie dogs.
The second is a dead antelope. I broke the skull of the rest of the skeleton and took it home to bleach.

If the photos don't upload here's a link.

I know its not your fault, but wow it's intrusive. Uploading photos is virtually impossible. It took me thirty years to finally take the leap and leave Commiefornia, best decision I ever made. Almost everyone up here is either from California or Texas. The WOKE people move to Denver, the conservativ...

If you listen close to that clip you'll hear me pulling back the trigger on a gun. That bear was veering my direction for awhile.

It's impossible to upload photos to this site. Also the most invasive to privacy I've ever seen. How much do you guys make selling our private information?

Recently I got the hell out of California and moved to Colorado. I'll miss the San Gabriels and Joshua Tree, but the Rockies are way more awesome. No trash or graffiti and the weather is even sunnier than California. I'm lucky enough to live ten minutes from Garden of the Gods, the coolest city park...

Yeah, that's where his Trogden's cabins were. The first one was right behind the table. It was abandoned by some Mormons and Trogden threw a tarp over the ruins to keep it watertight. That one he gave to his son in law, and that became his ranch. His mule corral was up on a mesa. That whole area use...

Nice shots. There's a long forgotten mine up in Ross Gulch. Sounds like you got pretty close to it. That lizard is called a western whiptail.
Did you notice all the signatures carved into that rock table at Trogden's Camp? One's from 1929, same year George Trogden and Oliver Justice died.

That Victrola (frame) is still in there. Weighs a ton, so I doubt anyone will ever steal that. How the guy who stole it from the Echo Mountain House ever got it all the way to that mine is a mystery to me.

I'm not sure if they do presentations. You should go to one of their meetings and just sit in. You don't have to join. And if you do it's only 20 bucks a year.
