- Join us as we go on an overlanding adventure and take our jeep with its rooftop tent to explore the less known parts of the Salton Sea. We explore the surrounding canals, a secret oasis, the Eagle Mountain Trestle, Bombay Beach, Slab City, and eventually end up in the amazing Sandstone Canyon of Anza Borrego State Park. Come along!
This is my first foray into making longer content...I've been making 10-12 minute videos for a while now, but have realized there is so much more you can say in the longer video...let me know what you think of it!
Super excited to share this longer-format video of our adventure! With so much extra content, I knew this wouldn't squish into a 15 minute video, so here it is, our Salton Sea adventure! Hope you enjoy it, if so, check out our recent trip to Anza Borrego where we talk more about the formation of Sandstone Canyon here: th-cam.com/video/1CciaVGUczI/w-d-xo.html
Love this video! What a great trip that was! I loved watching this as a long, format Doc! Very well done. My favorite part was the tsunami warning system! Ha ha ha.
Awesome! Thanks for inspiring me to go long! 😂🤣
This was a refreshing take on the typical Salton Sea trip. Most videos are negative, this was positive and upbeat. Loved the camping and your friends meeting up. Never seen those areas in a Salton Sea video, The steak and hash browns sure looked good. Great to see families out spending time together. And you saved a Benz from the sand. Hello from NC.
thanks friend! I appreciate the detailed comments, makes me remember how fun this trip was! Thanks for watching!
Great video. We used to fish out there in the 80s.
Nice, such a unique area!
Ahh, look at my Jeep! Look at me driving the Jeep! Look at me in front of the Jeep! Look at my Jeep from above! Look at my Jeep pulling out a car from the sand!
Love this jeep…you might have noticed 🤣
What a fascinating place. Great video Ian!
It really is! Thanks Will!
Farm Buffalos Yummy. Glad they are making a comeback in the wild and for food. Would love to see them in the wild.
Same here… I didn’t have time to mention the video, but there are 100,000 of them on farms now
Another great video, thank you for taking us along!
You bet! Thanks for coming on the adventure!
Great first longer form video
Thanks friend, more to come!
Winch for the WIN
👍🏼👍🏼
This is such an interesting place, thanks for taking us along!
Absolutely! Thanks for coming on the adventure!
motion detectors are neat would love to wake to capture those night creatures on Camera
Yes, I think I need to get a trail camera!
Great video, have you ever camped at the end of Sand stone Canyon? I've seen several people camp there. That would be a epic spot to camp. About the only thing I don't like about Fish creek is the washboard road. Aside from that, the place is awesome to explorer.
Thanks! I’ve never camped there since it’s an area that would have folks driving through your camp (sometimes at night)…my favorite spot is the one in our recent Anza video, check it out!
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Yeah Slab City looks like I saw it from the car and hit the gas kind of destination
That place was definitely dirty, and probably full of meth!
Love this video Doc! What an amazing area the Salton Sea is, pretty epic. Hope to come down and see it someday. 👍
Thanks, we had fun out there and learned a ton…I hope you make it too! Let me know when!
The Salton Sea will never be saved. No matter how much money they keep wasting.
I would think some sort of chemical neutralization of the pesticides could be done
Did Salton benefit from the record snowfall and storms that hit the rest of Cal. this past year?
The only water flowing into the sea other than the occasional flash flood is the runoff from the irrigation, which is pretty regulated. It got a bit more water than usual because it was raining in the desert around it, but not like the rest of California’s reservoirs that drain on the ocean side or from the mountains
What is your short antenna on the back top of the Jeep? Which frequencies? Would you tell me more please
That’s a weboost cellphone booster…it mainly helps keep the data connection on your phone working…now that I have starlink it’s a little less needed, but nice to have…and it definitely works (I’ve tested it off and on)
@@DocWrangler Thanks for answering. I thought it was a 2m/7-0 cm short antenna.
Great video, marvelous experience for the kids and a lot of memories for the three of you.
Very well done ! Congratulations !
@@D-Imagine thanks! I haven't made the jump to shortwave...but people say I should!
What is that mounted on your passenger side cowl?
That is a modular snorkel from rugged ridge. At that level, it doesn’t really add lunch to the water, fording depth, but it does function as a cold air intake. If you look at some of my pictures on Instagram or other videos, you can see when I had the snorkel actually fitted onto it.
Sand/Dirt Angels lmao
Seriously, so glad that was on our last day!
Yep that sting is no fun
I never been stung by one…bad?
@@DocWrangler Got stung by a very small one on foot. Burned and went numb for several hrs before it filtered through body and went back to normal. Was tender for about 2 days.
Ouch! Definitely don’t want that to happen to the little guys!
What was that dude in the bmw doing there???
They were out there trying to take some instagram pictures or something, I guess they didn’t know it was an off-road trail, lol
Do you have a link for the motion sensor?
for sure! Here they are: www.amazon.com/Wireless-Driveway-Weatherproof-Motion-Detector-Property/dp/B0C73Y7FKN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=L1QOUX0HCI80&keywords=solar%2Bmotion%2Bdetector&qid=1700248070&sprefix=solar%2Bmotion%2Bdetector%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
I looked to see the actual salton sea, but instead was treated to an endless loop of a drone showing a jeep and some kids….thumbs down
😂🤣😂 “around” the Salton 🤔
Hey,Doc. We produce off road lighting. Can we send our pods in exchange for an opportunity of getting showcased in your content?
