I was working on a pipeline a few years back outside of Big Spring, TX. It was near Abilene, TX which has an Air Force base. We happened to be on one of their flight paths and being someone who loves aircraft it was a true joy to see one of our military jets scream by at a couple hundred feet of altitude. There are some beautiful places in California! I need to return for a visit again soon!

@writemeontele_gramtrailrecon1 You might try going up to Mahogony Flat-- (4X4) especially if recent snow. It's the trailhead for Telescope Peak with a great view down to the floor of Death Valley--reached via Wildrose Canyon and Emigrant Canyon rd. Along the way, charcoal kilns still remain, once used to fire mining ops. Alabama Hills has many arches and one natural bridge. Views thru the arches feature Mt. Whitney, Keeler Needle, and more. Not to mention a petroglyph-pictograph site that even the BLM rangers don't know about. Oh my!

The Bed Rug is amazing with an R-4 insulation. The tail gate is a no brainer when crawling in and out on your knees. We love ours! We are big fans on modular systems. I see to many folks do build outs which just equals LBS. Not to mention every trip or season may requires different gear/systems. While we have a Bluetti AC200 for over 2 years now, we plan to do a Victron system in our rear seat delete. Tried and truel we are going Blue - not red...

Yep. I loved being in the Alabama Hills. It certainly does get busy. Loved the instrumental of Josh Baldwin's "Stand in Your Love." One of my favs. Last time I was there we headed north through the Hills all the way by Moffet Ranch coming out just north of the Alabama Spillway. if you do this, don't underestimate how long it will take to do that Moffet Ranch Rd. It wasn't crazy, but was certainly not maintained so it was slow going. We ended up just finding a wide spot in the trail since we ran out of light. We did it in October and was cool, but really pretty, although not nearly as much snow.

Funny you should post this video today. Just last weekend, I spent three nights in Lone Pine for the purpose of exploring the Alabama Hills with a photo group I belong to (we were partially limited by snow), then two nights on my own in Death Valley. On my way home to the Central Valley, I spent a couple hours checking out the Trona Pinnacles. My Grand Cherokee is nearing its end, so I took my wife's Mazda CX-5 instead (it did fine on graded dirt roads). On the plus side, I ordered a "mid-spec" JLU Rubicon the day before I left for my trip. 🙂

The offroad gods know I've spent way too much myself on "Adventure Gear". As a long time overlander I am still amazed at how much money people spend on gear and how much time and energy is invested before an experience. I just want to say that a good time can be had with a great attitude, a sense of adventure and fewer gadgets. I enjoy watching these productions and am inspired by them, I just feel that we need to remind ourselves that great adventures are accessible without the high pricetag. Just go, already!

Agreed 💯! I remind folks all the time that the most important thing is to just get out there. When we started, it was with our stock Jeep and our backpacking gear. That was it. Start small and figure out what you truly need, then add what you want to enhance the experience. Part of what I do with my channel is show folks all the options and cool stuff because there's something different for everyone, and the best setup is the one that works for your individual needs. And yes, attitude is everything! Thanks for watching!

You make owing a Jeep so much fun. Now,... after seeing the video I must tell you and everyone watching about the rocks and how they look. This look was called by a massive plasma discharge. Notice the blackened rock, that is caused by an electrical discharge. The rounded shape of many rocks are due to the massive heat that melted the rock. Think water is to blame, yes to a degree but lighting (plasma) and massive over pressure created a stacking of material that show's up as triangles stacked up to make mountains, as well. It also formed the grand canyon here on earth and the same on Mars. That's it on that. Now, I love to the highest your web site. I have a 2015 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited and your site has given me so much great information that I feel like I own you. I pay you back by watching, subscribing, and giving a thumbs up. Also tell other and sharing. You the Man!
