In Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico, they cook and eat the Prickly Pear Cactus. It's called Nopales and can be found on the menu of many Mexican Restaurants. Many people believe it has multiple health benefits due to its high antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral content.

Just found your channel while looking for info on the Quartz Mountains after driving through there a few weeks ago. I have plans to spend a day hiking there in a couple of weeks. Love your videos. But, I wish you would give distance and difficulty information on the trails when you hike them. That would be very helpful for older folks like me. Thanks.

Thank you! It’s a beautiful area and well worth thoroughly exploring. As for the distance and difficulty, it is something I need to integrate. Thanks for the suggestions and watching! Have fun while there!

The risk of encountering rattle snakes and copperheads in both Wichita Mountains and Quartz Mountains is pretty high. I was surprised you didn't encounter one when going through the boulder fields in the Wichitas. Ft Sill has had a few soldiers get bit by poisonous snakes in the mountains. Great videos though! Being from Oklahoma and have gone to these places quite a few times you did a really good job at displaying the beauty of our hidden gems. You should check out Talimena Skyline Drive and the surrounding areas in South Eastern Oklahoma for the fall colors one year.

Thank You, your kind words really means a lot! Even though it may not show it in the video, I was on the alert for snakes. It does help that in my backyard of extreme Southern Illinois, we have timber rattlers, copperheads, and cottonmouths, so it has been ingrained in me to be scanning especially around rocks. Just got back last week from the Wichita's and only saw a water snake near the Osage Lake dam. Those southeastern spots are high on my list. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
