Buy a real radio 😅😅

It’s rigged up 😅😅

You are not very bright 😂😂

Mud duck 🦆 😅😅😅

My ancestors traveled out from Iowa in 1851 to the town of Marysville, unbelievably tough people. Albert Atwell is recorded as one of the pioneers of the town of Visalia. Thank you for recording this I am an off roader but at 75 it would be a bit too much . Great job.

That tire configuration looks like it would break the bead on the tire.

You should report this place to the Clampers. They the only ones that care

Ken, I always enjoy your videos. I've done Strawberry Pass a couple times since the Caldor, and can agree that it's a nice easy 4x4 route. I usually run it from the 50 to the 88 side, which makes the eroded path into a climb which is then a little bit more challenging. I've watched a line of stock Tacomas and 4 runners on factory tires struggle a bit to get through that section. They graciously pulled out of the way to let my Jeep bound on through. If you're in the area (50 corridor) Eagle Rock is a fun pretty easy little climb to a scenic overlook over the South Fork American River canyon.

Sorry about Arial

Cute wife man lol.

And this is why we have winches ;) oh and thaks for the info on the gascap!

I know you guys did this five years ago, but it’s incredibly helpful as we are hitting it in about a week. I know that Video doesn’t do the steepness and difficulty level justice, but it certainly seems safely doable for experienced Overlanders. Thanks very much!

I recognize a sh*t load of these views from a photo tour on the Emigrant Trails West site. Nice

Always fill up before climbing out of the central valley . Also gas is always a dollar cheaper in Walker before you enter Bridgeport

I think I met Ken The Jeep guy at Donnell Dam. If that was you Ken, thanks for your information and guidance.

'Promo SM' 👉

You've got a great narration voice!

Didn’t show anything !

I kept seeing this in my feed but missed that it was from you. Nice video, and interesting. I didn’t realize you had finished your degree. Congratulations! Also, you are in fact a “country rube,” but you’re one of the good ones.

Thanks for your tips help me understand what and why my engine light is on.

What the..? There are road runners native this high up in California? I've been exploring the foothills for years and I've never seen one.

Looking at your tool box i can see how you lose tools. The Jeep lacks maintenance and inside is dirty. I don’t wait for things to break and fix. I make sure to do maintenance so everything functions and operates as it should. Next time lay 4x8 plywood board under the jeep.

Ty for sharing your GF is a soilder😅😅❤ 🫡

I wonder if someone stile yours...the wires aren't even damaged even tho it fell off ...huh well anyway I need that poision spider thing...

Glad all is well but this video is not for the average persons check engine light problem. You lost entire evap canister. Crazy. Hope you Jeep dried out O.K.

been to all those places and more. fell in love with the area and finally moved here 37 years ago. spent much time at the river with friends, dogs, bicycles, guitars, rafts. crossed that bridge hundreds of times. good video. brings back memories.

😱 Promo-SM

What’s the trail number or turn off for this? I’d like to go check it out when I’m up there?

Always liked driving through that area. Some of the places that are tucked into the hills between there and the lake are fond childhood memories imagining what it was like back in the day. Even some of the ones that have been lost over the years still dredge up those memories while flying past them.

i lived in long barn for 4 years i miss it me and my family wood play on them same roads in the water good time's hope to go back one day soon

At 3:42 minutes into this video pulling into the loop, the driver of the black jeep runs over baby Manzanitas. You can hear it crunching. How sad to disrespect the nature in our area. Stay on the trail. TREAD LIGHTLY - Take Pictures and Leave Footprints.

iron door is over 100 yrs old bar saloon.... id say try there for food, ambiance.. they graded berna grade last month or so.. so its smooth going now! To cool off ferretti rd is the answer and an easy dirt rd down to lumsden bridge cg.. only 10 miles from buck meadows/smith station.. live in mariposa, for over 30 yrs. ride dirtbikes, 4x4 in that area.. berma grade is as smooth as a new borns bottom... the area where you guys talk about the decent at berma at the creek S, was the ridge route where you bypass the private fenced area and ride the ridge to the same place..

thats my backyard.. you missed a lot of good stuff between buck meadows and burma grade. Just before the "love shack" you passed and the creek was a half dome look out, signal peak was just after bower cave up old yosemite rd. great area... lots of wilderness. in fact i run an 1100 mile loop, ADV/overlanding, thru there up to black oak casino, in tuolumne city, to bridgeport, via the marine base route. then to Masonic town and bodie then to benton hot springs and bishop. thats just half the route....

Where did you get the entire sway bar did it all come from roughcountry? How did you fix the flashing swaybar light on your dash

Ken is indeed the consummate narrator beautiful work as usual . I love California so much but my wife would never stand for it cause she likes Florida

I would love to do this too. But I have mixed feelings about the damage the vehicles do in the muddy areas.

Hey, just found your channel.... Lee Vining is where I grew up and I never actually made it all the way up to the Log Cabin Mine! I was just a punk kid and didn't know how lucky I was to grow up is such a beautiful place. Heading back there in August, maybe I'll try to get up the the Mine and take a vid and some pics.

Thank you for giving up all the secret spots now they are going to be crowded and at some point closed off

I have an auxbeam and do you just unscrew the breath bolt with a wrench? It kinda looks like the seal/bolt wasn't made to be taken off because its round not hex

You went right by my house

How come I can't get no one on my cb radio at all? Anybody no

Nice trip. I'm considering doing it. Thanks for the info!

enjoyed

Same issue here, but without the water. Much appreciated

Great video of the area. Loved the drone work.

I did enjoy it, but probably not as much as you did!

Great video Ken! Looks like a fun area to go off-roading!

I've lived in Bridgeport 27 years and grew up in Smith NV and Mammoth lakes. This Summer my husband and I are getting in the truck. Great video

you know what I like best about these inexpensive lights? It's basically that I really do enjoy taking them apart and making them better. Actually that's most of the fun for me. do you guys remember years ago they had to take the Constitution out of its class sealed case because when it was originally sealed there was a lot of moisture in the air at the time when they did it? I think it would also help if you did this on extremely dry day or inside with a dehumidifier. And then put some desiccant packets inside of the housing to account for any other additional moisture that may enter overtime. something I wanted to try for years is to put something in like a Schrader valve and then pull a vacuum on it and then fill it up with nitrogen just slightly over atmospheric. I've also wondered about just filling up the unit with mineral oil. If it works for cooling a computer then I think it will work pretty well in one of these housings and the opacity of the mineral oil is pretty good I don't think it would cause any issues. thanks for the video that was actually pretty interesting to watch and I give you absolute respect on doing it while it's still installed on the rig.

Thank you so much for your wonderful adventure. We are planning to planning to go where you were. We will travel in your footsteps and venture in our own. This is September 2022 we will be there On the weekend of the 17th and 18th. I wish you would have shown some areas where you camped, We will locate our own thank you all the best to you and your compadress. Sincerely Ronnie Ron from Visalia
