Messin With Power Lines

Never knew that power lines could look so graceful against the Southwest Desert landscape.

The Pristine Kaibab National Forest

You may remember the video post showing the fire damaged area of Kaibab National Forest from summer of 2025, Link . Here’s a flyover video from last week showing the area not damaged. The western part of the North Kaibab which is adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park.

What Is Bentonite?

It is a natural clay or ash that is produced from volcanoes. People have used it as a health aid for detoxification. When ingested, it helps to draw out the toxins that are present in your body. It aslo has many other benefits but definitely not FDA approved.

HOWEVER, I didn’t make a trip to a remote area of Utah for health benefits. From ground level you see layers of different colors present but it’s from above where you are amazed and flabbergasted. This is the reason why I bought a drone. The lines of color are formed when different minerals of different colors seep through the clay.

See companion video later today.

The Bentonite Hills near Hanksville, Utah, provide colorful and unusual geologic patterns in the landscape.

It’s a fairly unspectacular landscape here from ground level. You can also see my post on the nearby Mars Society Research Station where scientists assimilate living on the Mars surface.

On some of these images, you’ll see me and my shadow. I look rather insignificant in this landscape.

Me and my vehicle are about 100 yards below.

From the ground, I couldn’t see the shapes and lines.
