i have become obsessed with the movies young guns 1 and 2, midlife always leads there I figure, might as well grasp it now.

since I live three and a half hours from lincoln new mexico I've now transferred the minor obsession onto actual billy the kid archaeology, you'd be surprised at what is available to see. not fenced off, exposed to the elements, archaeology.

i have been overlanding like a wild digital man all over new mexico tracing out archaeological sites where the kid actually stood, slept, or became offed.


these drone videos show very rare sights regarding billy locations on site, in the wilds of nm.


for example, my rarest shot was actual stinking spring location. earned permission from the land owner to film, took some time developing
this is stinking springs. in young guns 2, keifer sutherland steps out/doc to escape the rock house and is shot. This is the actual foundation of the rock house that in real life billy, dave r, a horse, bowdre and another outlaw holed up in. doc was not here in real life, at stinking springs but for the movie they made it that way.


in western books and articles, the snipers with garrett claimed to be about 50 feet out from the rock house when they took bowdre, the mapping software on the drone measured the shot at 58 feet.

wagon tracks heading into clovis are apparent even after 139 years ish. the way the plains erode around Clovis is very unique.



That above is the actual physical location an hour outside of Clovis of the real stinking spring, where this hollywood portrayal was representing. I was dead set on finding the actual location of this adobe shack. Done. my greatest adventure of them all.




the owner of the property is very selective on who gets out there to film, which is why all the set stones have not been ripped off yet.



and that above is john tunstalls murder site. the whole lincoln county war started due to shots fired specifically here, out on a jeep trail outside Glencoe nm. open to the public. back when i found that, direct location was not avail online it took legit hunting for it, now I think it's been posted by coordinates for geolocators to enjoy but it took about 5 trips in the mountains to find this site, gave me cold chills when i finally saw it looking down from the drone. its not an easy jeep trail to get to it, either. very steep in places.

Very cool stuff Brandon.

The wild west has some treasures if you can find them. I spent about a year living in Phoenix and bought a book called "Explore Arizona" which had all sorts of wild west forgotten history like ghosts towns, mining towns, indian ruins, etc. I focused on the indian ruins, but in my travels, on the side of the road in Globe, AZ I found a gravesite which listed a person who was a guide to Zane Grey. Of course I didn't write down the name or take a picture of the site and the last time I searched for it years later is was gone.

My dad still lives in Arizona and isn't far from Tombstone and the ghost towns of Charleston and Millville.

Fishing of course!!!

Nice crook jaw!

Fishing is life for me, fresh and salt. Finally got our rig last year. I have been cutting my teeth on Chesapeake Bay flats fishing and cobia. My boy, angler (black lab) is always by my side. Haha

That's awesome! Wish my girls were more into fishing. I went down to Nicaragua last year for some cobia but no luck. I caught my 70lb king up in British Columbia!

 

[PBJ_Lotus]

A lot of car people in here!

I love hiking with the dogs. I have a shiba inu and a Siberian husky who are both 11. My gf has a toy poodle. We have a couple of skilkie chicks and a 180 gallon koi pond.
My biggest passion for the past 20 years has been cars.

[Clownfish_Boy]

Until recently when a knee problem forced me to retire from it, I was into shuffle-skating in roller rinks..... There I am on the far left, looking inordinately pleased with myself after a session of hard disco skating to retro music....

Tell me reefers, is it just reefkeeping or are you into other hobbies?!

I find it interesting that I share some random things in common with most of my fellow fishkeeper friends.. and I also find that a lot of the same people are very busy people lol.

I’m into a million hobbies. Some I’m not really sure are hobbies, and I’m new to reef keeping but we’ll say it counts.. but for me personally:
- Horses, I’ve ridden since I was 5 years old, always have always will, competitively and just for fun. My horse Sammy is 24 yrs old and I’ve had him for 17 years!
- Skiing - every winter, any weekend that I can!
- Dogs.. I love dogs. And cats, but mostly dogs. I compete my aussie in agility and go to AKC trials several times a year.
- Painting, drawing, sketching.. any kind of art really.. I love projects and new crafty things to work on
- Rally racing. Cars in general. I take my STi to the track every once and a while! I’ve also never owned an automatic vehicle lol.
- Kayaking, hiking, camping, boating, all the outdoorsy things.. we do it.
- ball pythons.. not so much any more (no time for it) but we had a really cool breeding pair and sold several clutches! Only have the lone male now.

I’m sure there’s more, but reefing is my newest hobby.. but I’m crazy and like to keep busy. what about you?

Nice lets just say i have another hobby that uses even more expensive lights...lol and involves even more chemistry to grow a certain plant... this made me a very hands on person learning about electricity and lighting making my own grow lights from meanwell drivers and samsung diodes learning how to do carpentry building grow rooms which later led to me building my own tanks and my own garage and replacing metal roof, hvac and welding and agriculture, all of these productive things can be learned by doing something lucrative its kinda funny if you think about it... then bounce mushrooms came around and i can make 300$ a square inch instead a square foot lol in half the time too with a quarter of the electricity. Also have had intense jobs too being a burner for csx(cutting up traincars with a torch, machinery the size of houses and buildings the sizes of cities all for pennies on the dollar away from my family shivering in the cold and in pain no 15 minute breaks just work 10hours a day no lunch,osha regulation goes out the door,the ground literally catches on fire a minute feels like an hour an hour feels like a day a day feels like a month just longing for a bath a warm meal my dog and my fish 1000s of miles away from home working 60hours plus a 7 days a week on the road.When i coulda stayed home sat on my butt and make the same amount of money if not double,i also worked for the erie lackawanna line as a private contractor for some years as a dispatcher to the blue room on a helper locamotive when im not working or hustling i take the weekend to cut timbers with my uncle rick and we go to lfs and farm and fleet, my day is 8 hours of work 8 hours of hustling 2 hours with dog and fish shower 6 hours of sleep wake up repeat when im home, when im away its work 10 to 12 hours whenever they tell me im done or im out of work for the day then back to my motel or hotel double bath then eat browse ig or r2r....never get a job in a manufacturing sector it takes the life right outta you and will make you an old man before your time.... as you wither away walking 20 miles a day through mud and slag sinking every step you take... being a supervisors even worse you have to be a friend a boss a psycologist a mathematician and a harda$$ to make sure everything flows in transit smoothly making sure 20 plus people are always on the same page or injury or worse(god rest their souls)occurs
