- Day 2 on the Mojave Road and beyond takes us to a cool miners cabin, lava tubes and cinder cones, and a Joshua tree forest. We have a couple of hiccups on the trail, but end at an awesome high elevation camp.

You guys are really putting together some interesting videos. I really enjoyed this one.

@@PrimalOutdoors thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Another awesome video. I'm sure most of the cinder from that mine went into making cinder blocks. Today we use concrete blocks, or CMUs (Concrete Masonry Units). Even though they haven't used cinder as the aggregate for many years, concrete blocks are still often referred to as "cinder blocks." Now you know why.
@@williamwallace9826 thanks for the info! And thanks for watching.
You two find some of the best ghost towns and abandoned buildings. Oh wow, the lava tubes are pretty neat. I wasn’t expecting to see all those frog ornaments in the middle of the desert. Happy travels. 👍28
@@CraigKoppel the frogs are a strange addition, I'm not sure about the significance 🤣. The lava tubes were really cool. Thanks for watching!
Very cool. I really regret not getting out there when I lived in Southern California for a short time. 🤙🏼
@@dad_wagon1976 oh darn, it's a really interesting place. Maybe you'll get the chance again someday. Thanks for watching!
Those cabins are awesome
@@troymaxx9453 aren't they great! Someone takes really good care of them.
Another great video and also nailing the background music. Thanks for sharing.
@@greatbasinexploring I appreciate the kind words, thank you.
Interesting area.
@@Retired-nohurry it really is. I like the volcanic area and the Joshua Trees best.
What an awesome video!! Thanks
@@joefoltz4297 thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
So much cool stuff!
@@htchevyii771 thanks, I agree. It's a really cool place
So sick!
@@troymaxx9453 I agree!
Wow, that's really neat!
@@htchevyii771 thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed your video! We just did the Mojave Road for the third time and made a few notes for my next trip based on your experience. Keep up the great work!!
@@CARRVENTURE thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to hear we've added some new places to your list. We're always finding places we missed while traveling, but it gives us a good excuse to return. Thanks for watching!
So many of those old cabins are so cool! Mojave and in Death Valley. Restored and well taken care of. The challenge is finding them and getting there. Not going to happen in a Prius or a Tesla. Edit: I would say that cabin you were in was on private property. With the gate. As as you left it like you found it. Oops! Saw the guest book. A lot of time and love spent there..
@@scottymac5174 yes, it was available to stay on and in excellent condition!
@@campoutwestus DV. Now is the time of year to go exploring down there.
@scottymac5174 yes, just don't have enough time off work now, plus the Mojave trip was a big one for the old Comanche
We ran this trail from the opposite direction. Starting in Laughlin.
What you remember in your mind and seeing it 180 degrees.
@@scottymac5174 we ran it in the opposite direction 4 years ago. You see different things this way!
@@campoutwestus Getting my bearings.
love the videos. can't wait for day 3. been out there a bunch as well. also saw your burney falls video, I was up there on our way back from overland expo pnw. amazing place. all good stuff. I'm looking at the arizona peace trail now.
@@chrisward906 thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I'll have to look into the peace trail. Arizona is not a place we've been able to explore yet, but really want to.
Cool place Heather.
@@huntercoleman460 thanks so much, it was a unique find!
Are you sure that cabin wasn't inhabited? Also, "single track" usually refers to a motorcycle trail
Never mind. I saw later in the video the guestbook. I can't imagine someone putting that much work into fixing up an old cabin like that.
There are many of those cabins scattered across the deserts in CA and NV. Many were part of mining claims. They are on government land and usually maintained by volunteers, many times off road or Jeep groups. It's customary to raise the flag when you are staying there so that others know they are inhabited. We've been to some that were well stocked with extra full propane tanks, hot water, solar battery setups ETC . You can tell that many take pride in maintaining and upgrading these historic cabins. I caught the slip up on the road, but didn't think it was worth worrying about. Thanks for watching!
@@timbradydo648 Thought the exact, same thing. The guestbook. A whole lotta time/love in that cabin.
Choy-ya cactus not cholla
@@keniferusxj7047 thank you.
