Man, I’ve been dying to get to a Trejo’s tacos or doughnuts place. I am so jealous. 😂
Throughly loved this Video. Haven’t been to La Brea tar pits in years. That was so fun to see. And the Academy Museum. Going to have to make a trip to see it. We have had a fun few nights getting to go with you to all these amazing places. Again Super sorry you had the car problems and dealing with that. We love tagging along. ❤️
Thank you! I love bringing you all along with me. This has been sooo much fun. Hearing this just makes me excited to make more videos! 😁
This was a cool Vlog of the tar pit museum. You did a really good job with it and really interesting all the things found in those pits from millions of years ago, some of the creatures then were giant monsters man!!
Seriously! It's crazy to think how much got caught in the pits!
This was cool. I have heard about the tar pits. But I have never been. The museum’s were cool. That Mexican restaurant looked delicious. Glad you got your car fixed!
Thanks CC!! The food was so good!
@@Eldons_Excursions your welcome
Haha I’m catching up up 😂 I can’t believe you had to walk all the way over to the observatory and it was closed. That Oscar’s museum looks dope!
Love the rambling at the end of the videos…keeping it real ❤
Yeah! Haha oh well, they'll definitely be another time. I wanna go back and get a full day there.
I gotta get my talking in haha sometimes I talk too much 😅
@@Eldons_Excursions don’t worry I’ll get down there and vlog it and you can watch my video 🤪
@@J_Sosjourneys 😂😂 okay! I'd definitely watch
@@Eldons_Excursions maybe you could learn a few things from me 😂😂 not lol!! The student becomes the teacher 😉
@@J_Sosjourneys haha you are very thorough with lots of details 🤔
Good thing you listened to me about La Brea Tar pits!!
@pearlwhitesti5165 haha yeah! It was pretty dope. I definitely wanna return.
@@Eldons_Excursions hell yeah I wanna check it out too there’s a lot of cool stuff in the area
@pearlwhitesti5165 All of the museums are within walking distance.
Hey Eldon, sorry man I'm just now catching up, you know if I had my truck I'd come get you AND your car, we hope all is well and you get home safely.
Oh I know Joe, I appreciate you brotha. You're a good dude. I'm glad everything worked out with this shop.
I’m glad you got your car fixed at a reasonable price. The museums was so cool to watch. The pull bars that were stuck in tar. “ Do not sit on” lmao “ not on the glass” 😂
Haha oh man, don't wanna get stuck in that tar!
The museums looked awesome. Thanks for the adventures! It was very interesting to see. 👏
Then Trejo’s Tacos?! Ahhh! I’d love to eat there. 😍
As for the Dodgers, the only nice thing I can say about that is that the city was cleared out a bit for easier traveling. Go Giants! 😂👏👏
Haha omg, the food was so good!!
Man, I wished that I could of stayed with you to help you out during all this.
@DANstinations It's all good Dan! Not a problem. I'm glad you were around the previous 3 days otherwise this trip would have been a lot more lol
2nd! 🥈
My Man, From the Bay to LA 😎
Hey hey!
I enjoyed this video a lot Eldon. The stuff you talked about in the beginning about the car was very helpful. Big difference between 2k and 800 bucks. I was hoping you would go to the La Brea Tar pits that place was very interesting. The other museum wish you had more time so many things to see. The food at Tejos Tacos looked very good. I actually liked seeing this long video. Can't wait for tomorrow's video.
Sweet! Sounds good. Long videos it is 🤙
Those tacos were so good!!
My anxiety would be through the roof if I had went what you had to through with your car
Haha I'm glad I was able to keep my spirits up and get passed it. What an experience lol
Found you searching for Camping Berryessa, saw you were in Disneyland same time as my family. Wishing you the best!
That's awesome! Welcome and thanks for joining me 😊
More camping trips are on the way btw!
In the future, you might consider taking the Amtrak coast starlight to LA. Then transfer to the Pacific Surfliner to Anaheim. A short Uber ride to a hotel near Disneyland. My husband and I did that last February. It's a scenic trip and will save more mileage on your car. I love Amtrak and I bet you will too! Especially if you get a roomette - includes meals!
Oh that would be fun!! I would love doing that excursion! Added to my list lol
@@Eldons_Excursions A little money saving tip......You can buy a coach seat and bid up to get a roomette.
@fw7993 a roommate 🤔 hopefully they're fun to hang out with haha
@@Eldons_Excursions 😂
I would really get in touch with Toyota corporate an alternator should not go out at 65,000 it is clearly a faulty part. I am in the automotive field that I see this all the time even if you are 5000 past your factory warranty, they will at least work with you if they can’t cover it completely. They will at least have you just pay for parts or something like that and you’re getting it done at the dealership it’s a brand new car.
I'm really hoping there is some kind of recall eventually... unfortunately Toyota won't do anything until then.
Machete doesn’t text 😂
🤣🤣
Bro you need to find a mexican shop and they'll do it for probably half the price.
😂😂 I kinda did
What’s the name of that other shop that wanted to charge 2k? Was it Fisk?
Yeah, Fisk automotive
A new car shouldn’t have these issues and the dealership should be there to fix said problems…
Quality has gone downhill. Might as well just get a used car off Marketplace haha
Yeah, seriously! I bought a new car so I wouldn't have to deal with these issues...
Elden movie fact check here for yah bro. The movie you’re thinking of is called, BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED. Those little spaceship miniatures you seen. We’re from the movie called, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. 👍🏽🤣🫶🏼
@PowerofPlacebo haha yesss! That's it!! Ahh! 🤯 I loved that movie! Those spaceships looked like the ones from batteries not included haha oops. Thank you! 😅
@@Eldons_Excursions it’s ok, you had me double checking your movie called “ spaceships 🚀 “ LMFAO 🤣 Then, seen the fine print. Also the animation you were watching, prior to saying “ Pinocchio “ was it. It was PINOCCHIO 👍🏽🤣🫡
