I spent 4 days around Montezuma Well and the surrounding wilderness. which scientists are torn is the upper reaches of the Sonoran Desert or “thornbrush” terrain.
Also after spending millions of dollars science is inconclusive about the true source of water and why this collpased limestone sinkhole stays roughly 78 degrees year-round.
Truly no scientific ‘knowns’ in this mystical area.
The ancient dwellings were Hohokam originally then Yavapai (Sinagua) tribes later.
I had no cell phone (left at motel) and no bluetooth (old jeep) and no laptop. It was bliss. Everyday: red-tail hawks, deer, harris hawks, cows, wild horses and burros, and herons, and ancient rock art. And Tecate in the red can.
What’s Linux about this?
The absence of all computing/electronics for days is a beautiful place to be.
After a wilderness immersion going back to the city is awful…
It’s good to get away from all the electronic gadgets in our lives . . . cellphones, computers, TV, radio. . . . being one with nature and it’s surrounding can be peaceful, tranquil and refreshing from the hub bub and grind of daily living that can be stressful and raise anxiety levels.
I was reading recently about how people fear “un-databased” experiences. Going to a restaurant without reading the reviews, driving without GPS, let alone exploring nature with no connectivity at all. I believe that periodically disconnecting keeps us in touch with our humanity. Thank you for sharing.
half our lives was spent without this nonsense it’s not hard to be without them in the wilderness. maybe reckless these days but screw it; I’ve never lived by conventional wisdom but I use sense.
I don’t keep company with those types. That’s In The Matrix behavior. No offense to anyone intended.
it is quarry-resembling. there’s so much CO2 and arsenic in the water that even the cliff dwellings tribes (Hohokam, Sinagua, Yavapai) inside the quarry lived off Beaver Creek water nearby. The wilderness that surrounds this monument is stunning and red.
