Duck Pass Backpacking - Mammoth Lakes, California *HD*
Several interesting trails in the John Muir Wilderness area offer a variety of hikes beginning behind Coldwater Campground. Climbing over Duck Pass to join the John Muir trail, the Duck Pass trail climbs the forested hillside behind Coldwater Campground and goes past Arrowhead, Skelton, and Barney lakes before going over Duck Pass. A side trail to Emerald Lake offers an alternate route to Skelton Lake or the option of a loop past Barret Lake returning to the west side of Lake Mary. Common destinations beyond Duck Pass include Duck Lake, with an intense, deep-blue color, and nearby Purple Lake.
MAMMOTH IN SUMMER: Mono Lake, Mammoth Mountain Gondola, McCleoud Lake | WEEK FORTY

When we first decided to visit Mammoth Lakes for our Summer vacation, all I could think of was snow. Well, that wasn’t going to work, so I went to the internet for things to do in Mammoth in Summer. From salty seas, to mountaintop experiences, these were the top three highlights of our summer vacation in Mammoth Lakes, CA.
The hike to McCleoud Lake was hailed as an easy hike for families with big payoffs. We took the free Lakes Basin Trolley to Horseshoe Lake, where the trailhead begins. From there, it said it was a half mile to the lake. We basically left everything in the car, except Nehemiah, who planned to jump in and brought his swimsuit. As we made our way up the trail that was a bit steeper than expected, we were wishing we had those water bottles and other supplies we thought we would run back to the car for, if needed. The hike to McCleoud Lake ended up being a 1.8 mile loop with a 351 ft. elevation gain. Which really is pretty family friendly, but bringing the baby carrier and some water is highly encouraged. The views though… Wow. Once you get to the top, McCleoud Lake will take your breath away.
Keeping with the trend of lakes, we had heard neat things about Mono Lake, which is just a short drive outside of Mammoth Lakes. This lake is 2.5 times saltier than the ocean! Not going to be outdone by Nehemiah, this time, we all brought our swimsuits. Swimming in Mono Lake was not something that we had planned on our itinerary, but now it is something we will never forget. The backdrop is so striking with tufa towers emerging from different spots in the lake, contrasting against the blue sky. We were definitely the only ones swimming in the lake, that day, but I would still suggest it! It was a bit slimy and the rocks are sharp on the lake floor, but lean back and you will float like you never have before.
Highlight of the trip, the cherry on top, was taking the gondola up to the top of Mammoth Mountain. The panoramic gondolas give you a 360 degree view all the way up the mountain. When you get to the top, you walk out to an 11053 ft. view. At the summit, you can see the valley open up, the lakes below, and the mountains around. We also checked out the Eleven53 Interpretive Center and ate on top of the world at the Eleven53 Cafe. Over and over, we would suggest this experience for you and your family.

Mono Lake: Surviving California's Water Wars
Mono Lake has existed for almost 760,000 years, but it nearly vanished during the early 20th century thanks to the city of Los Angeles.
When the Los Angeles Aqueduct opened in 1913, it was hailed as a modern marvel and became part of LADWP Superintendent William Mulholland’s legacy. The aqueduct allowed Los Angeles to grow into the major city it is today and sustain its massive population. Unfortunately, the project nearly destroyed Mono Lake which plays a critical role in the local ecosystem. Had it not been for the valiant efforts of people like David Gaines and the Mono Lake Committee, Mono Lake would have disappeared for good and become a dry lake like Owens Lake.
I was super excited to travel to Mono Lake to produce this video and share with you what I learned. I hope you enjoy it! Please like this video, subscribe to this channel and leave a comment down below letting me know where I should go next!

Remains of a mammoth uncovered near Mexico City
Mexican experts say they are completing work on digging up fossilised bones of a mammoth found near Mexico City.
They were found near the village of Tultepec while drains were being installed.
The bones are believed to be about 14,000 years old and were scattered, suggesting the mammoth had been cut up by humans for its meat and pelt.
Other remains have been found in the area which had been a shallow lake where the heavy mammoths got stuck.
Luis Cordoba, an archaeologist with the National Institute of Anthropology and History told French news agency AFP that the remains of more than 50 mammoths had been discovered in the area around the capital, Mexico City.
He said the Tultepec mammoth had been found 2m beneath a street in the village.
He said when alive it had been between the ages of 20 and 25, and the skeleton was almost complete and well-preserved with tusks still attached to its skull.
Scientists hope to eventually assemble the fossils and put them on display.
Mammoth remains have been discovered in several regions of Mexico, in areas near lakes where herds congregated.
Known as the Columbian Mammoth, they were a sub-species which lived across the United States and Central America.
Remains of the mammoths have been uncovered across Mexico, Texas and as far west as the La Brea Tar Pits in California.

Sea Anemones, Harmful Algal Blooms, and Mammoth bones in a field.
Could Sea Anemones help us live younger longer? Will Harmful Algal Blooms(HABs) become batteries? And a farmer found mammoth bones WHERE?! Watch the video to find out that and more!
Sea Anemones can live to be as old as a human but unlike my great grandma who looks good for a 90 woman, Sea Anemones don't age like we do. They are still relatively young. Why is that?
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) can make you really sick. So when NorthEast Ohio was strucken with a large number of them, scientist decided to use them for the greater good. And that is how we got algal batteries. But will they actually help?
Drones can do many things. Drop off your packages. Stalk your ex from 1000 miles away. But will they make tree planters? A group of researchers believe so.
The only weird things that I have ever seen come out of a field were aliens and a man's dead father and that father's baseball team. But now I have to add Mammoth bones to that list.
Thank you guys for watching. Please thumbs up the video, share it and subscribe!!!

Strange Alien Stick-like creatures caught on security camera above Fresno in Yosemite National Park
Click 480p for best Quality! A retired couple was having trouble with break-ins in their Yosemite private property and aimed their security camera at the driveway to video visitors. They caught these things on their security camera and called me over to see because they know I am interested in the paranormal. They gave me this digital copy but I can't figure out what the crap they are! They remind me of the Fresno Stick-like creatures but they seem to transfer weight and there are two here. Is one a baby? What are these!? Nightcrawlers? Stickmen? Something new? What?

The Extinct Ice Age Mammals of North America
University of Washington Anthropology Professor Donald Grayson and recipient of the 2015 University Faculty Lecture Award delivers the University Faculty Lecture on April 28, 2016. Toward the end of the Ice Age, North America saw the extinction of an astonishing variety of often huge animals. Mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats, lions, armadillos the size of small cars, sloths the size of elephants, beavers the size of bears, and many others were all gone by about 10,000 years ago. We do not know what caused these extinctions, but our knowledge of the Ice Age archaeology and paleontology of the deserts of western North America provides a novel opportunity to examine the common but contentious argument that people were behind all of them.

Saber-toothed cat struts down Wilshire Blvd in L.A. and comes home to the Tar Pits!
On Sept. 5 2012, our Saber-toothed cat took a stroll down to Wilshire Blvd. to announce that Ice Age Encounters will be at the La Brea Tar Pits every Wednesday and Saturday! Our favorite smilodon even got the CoolHaus Ice cream truck to stop by with some delicious Ice Age-themed treats.
Ice Age Encounters transports you to the Los Angeles of the Late Pleistocene. While on this journey, you'll meet the extinct creatures that lived in pre-historic L.A., and witness the natural processes that preserved their remains for thousands of years. You'll even survive a close encounter with a Saber-Toothed Cat — and meet the scientists who study its fossils at the Page Museum!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
The first settlement of the Americas began when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers first entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between northeastern Siberia and western Alaska due to the lowering of sea level during the Last Glacial Maximum.
These populations expanded south of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and rapidly throughout both North and South America, by 14,000 years ago. The earliest populations in the Americas, before roughly 10,000 years ago, are known as Paleo-Indians.
The peopling of the Americas is a long-standing open question, and while advances in archaeology, Pleistocene geology, physical anthropology, and DNA analysis have shed progressively more light on the subject, significant questions remain unresolved. While there is general agreement that the Americas were first settled from Asia, the pattern of migration, its timing, and the place(s) of origin in Eurasia of the peoples who migrated to the Americas remain unclear.The prevalent migration models outline different time frames for the Asian migration from the Bering Straits and subsequent dispersal of the founding population throughout the continent. Indigenous peoples of the Americas have been linked to Siberian populations by linguistic factors, the distribution of blood types, and in genetic composition as reflected by molecular data, such as DNA.The Clovis first theory refers to the 1950s hypothesis that the Clovis culture represents the earliest human presence in the Americas, beginning about 13,000 years ago; evidence of pre-Clovis cultures has accumulated since 2000, pushing back the possible date of the first peopling of the Americas to about 13,200–15,500 years ago.
