An Overland Journey to Leavitt Lake with

Join me on a 3 part series where I meet up with Rhino Offroad and TrailNewbie (Kevin & Greg) for some very different overlanding adventures near Bridgeport, California.
This video (Part 1) follows our trip to Leavitt Lake, which is an incredible location within the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The 4x4 trail up to the lake is not to be taken lightly and we found ourselves visiting the lake during some recent heavy rainstorms in the mountains. Special thanks to Kevin and Greg for the awesome drone footage in this video. Part 2 will follow our trip to a historic ghost town near the CA-NV border, and Part 3 will end with our journey to Kavanaugh Ridge where we camp at an elevation of 11,000' with amazing views below us!

When was this video actually taken was this pretty recent or just in the last few days? going to head up there tomorrow was wondering what the weather was like at night weather report is pretty misleading.
