    Great video! It’s awesome that you got to revisit and explore more of the Last Canyon area. I would’ve loved to see the inside of Bickel’s Shack myself and that was awesome that I got to see a glimpse of that here.🦑

      Yes! I remember when you and I went there..it was totally empty and kind of eery...missed the tunnel this time, but we'll be back!

    We used to spend a lot of time there...
    I miss that place, it has gotten thrashed.
    Still a fun adventure tho!
    Keep 4x4'ing!

    • @DocWrangler
      @DocWrangler  ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed, definitely has had it's share of carelessness around it...but still worth a visit if you're out there!

      Spent many a Christmas in Sears with friends that lived at Bickel Camp.
      Turkey and Ham from dutch oven in hole in the ground can't be beat!
      The cabins out there need some love, Sears needs a new roof and it's porch fixed, Joni needs it's porch fixed also.
      Ace-o-Spades is nearly a goner tho and prob not coming back.
      There may be some work done by us if we can get back out there. :)
      Happy Adventuring!

    Nice! Haven’t been to that part of the desert yet. Going to have to put that one on the list! :)

      It's so good! Let me know when!

    There are some great pumice exposures up in the Chalfant Valley north of Bishop too. Were you filming Cudahy? It's funny how we get so taken in by gold mines when a lot of these more mundane mines were far more successful overall.

    • @DocWrangler
      @DocWrangler  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, these are just as interesting! Filming Cudahy?

    • @scottsnyder8691

      @@DocWrangler sorry what I meant was is that Cudahy Mine in this video? I saw another video about Cudahy mine which is in an area near where you were in this video. Makes sense that all the pumice mines are around. So much volcanism along the whole 395. As a geologist I can’t get enough of it.
