this is San Bernardino mountains, not San Gabriel mountains. and those trails are now burnt from the Line fire. glad you were able to enjoy, because we won’t be able too for a while now
Thanks for the correction!
It’s such a shame it burned. I could tell it was dry and would easily catch fire when I was there. Hopefully it recovers quickly.
@@richiequinones282 I was there the week before the fires. Got to enjoy it just before.
Yeah, I know, man. It’s a shame. Every Friday I’ve been going to San Gabriel looking for gold And doing light Fishing just exploring. Of the bridge fire. Whenever they open the roads, I’m going to check it out I’m glad I took pictures and enjoyed it. It would take years to come back. Sad!!

That's what I was going to say. It's going to be Years before the Forrest Service lets anyone back in there.
The memories you are creating for him are priceless. I instantly began counting down the hrs for my boy to get home. We have some memories to make while he cleans the garage for dad.
The kid is too young to remember any of that. Perhaps when he is 5 or 6.
My husband and I often take this trail. Unfortunately it has all been burned in the recent (still going) Line fire. Glad to see you were able to go before the fire. Such a beautiful trail.
What’s the name of the trail?
@@doccameraman I tried to download the track but it wouldnt work. I know he's near the seven oaks dam at the start, Alder Creek Road most likely before crossing santa and river and heading to the lookout near there
@@doccameramanAlder Creek Rd. - FSR 1n16 again there was a recent burn so could be closed for some time.
@@ipodlover13bri closed till 11/30
So awesome that you have been talking the little one since a young age. We saw you at the SAVE Expo and he was having a blast driving his little blue tundra. Our society needs more dad's like you brother. Memories are core fuel on our son's development.
Hope to see you in Arlington next month.
Camp on
The R is for Redlands, the town below you
@@justinh1949 :The R is for Rim of the world, BTW...
@@normanhill596actually it’s not, the university of Redlands created that R on the mountain. Has nothing to do with Rim of the World, Running Springs, or any mountainous region of the San Bernardino National Forest.
@@normanhill596 you are wrong BTW
I'm from LA, have a Tundra 4x4 and have a little boy so I can really relate. Some other places to explore in the area: Big Bear, Idyllwild, Julian, Joshua Tree NP, Carrizo Plains, Kern River and Sequoia NP.
I need to add them all to the list! We were pushed for time, so had to head up the coast a way from there.
the trail up to where you camped is the City Creek trail, smack dab in the middle of the Line Fire, and the campsite was the lower eastern edge of the fire, and it continues up to Big Bear with several junctions to get there...looks like you filmed prior to the fire, I"m sure it looks very different right now 😞
I love the cinematography and the musical choices! I drove this fire road about 5 years ago and loved it.
I’m bummed it burned. I’ll have to wait to do it again with my LC250. Thanks for the context!
I love that baby blue tacoma, would look nice paired with my baby blue 100 series landcruiser. 😊
That's one of my regular mountain bike routes. I believe the R was initially put there by University of Redlands students decades ago. The area is now burned and closed due to the Line Fire.
Hello mate, it's the San Bernardino range, not the San Gabriel Range.
Man your adventures are epic and your truck is epic keep up the good work , we love it !!!
Taking a 1600 mile trip with my 24 tundra soon can’t wait ….
Thanks! Enjoy your trip!
The marine layer pushes to the mountains every day unless there is a high pressure system that gives us east winds. I’ve hang glided over those hills from launching at Crestline. I landed at a school behind my house in Redlands.
Thanks for the videos, we enjoy them.
If you sold a class on Timelapse’s, I would buy 100%. You are the master!
I LOVE how you have all the diapers in a toolbox.
Lol! It’s useful storage!
So beautiful place you make amazing videos I enjoy watching all time good job. Very good things to teach the little men 😂😊
being from Kentucky I wish I lived on the west side cause this is a legit hobby I wanted to pick up
1 good thing about the West is a lot of it is owned by the BLM/Feds. Because it is, big parts are open to the public. Most of the land in the East, Midwest and the South is owned by someone so every where you go in the wild you're trespassing on someone's land. People get real upset if you're trespassing, not recommended.
There have been pretty bad fires in the San Gabriel Mountains this last few weeks. Looks like you made it through at a good time.
The good news is he wasn’t in the San Gabriel mountains during this video
Fun video man.
The fire lookout you visited is within the area of the Line Fire that was raging 1-2 weeks ago. Hopefully it’s still standing! You had some luck with you in your timing for sure. Thanks for your usual first class video!
@@jimstoneman1732
Sadly, the fire is still raging. The comment sounded like the fire is extinguished.
That’s such a shame. I hope the lookout is ok! I saw on OnX that it’s in the burned zone, but the steel structure might have survived.
The Keller Peak lookout was destroyed from the fire as of 6 days ago.
Most of the "smog" you see isn't, its moisture from the ocean/marine layer. Natives use to call the area "valley of the smoke" because of this. I grew up with 1st, 2nd and 3rd stage smog alerts in the 70's, today is nothing like back then.
That’s interesting. I wasn’t aware of that!
Yes. My family moved to Southern California in the mid 1960s. In those days it was sometimes tough to see from one traffic light to the next from the smog. We came from Arizona and they would give the visibility distance in miles in the daily weather report. Imagine our surprise when we arrived in California and during the weather report they would say, "light to moderate eye irritation today." As you said the overall air quality is better now than it was back then even though there are millions more cars on the road. This is thanks to environmental regulations that mandated auto makers build cleaner running, more fuel efficient cars. And factories had to clean up what they had been previously belching out into the air.
Hi Rob - great episode and great trip. It's interesting, how quiet and calm it gets outside the hotspots at your end of the water. Over here, everything is more dense, highly regulated (obviously) ...
How's the Alucab doing? happy with it? br
I was shocked how quickly I was able to get away from the crowds there!
I love the AluCab - it has been amazing. So quick and easy.
Very cool fire lookout. I belong to the order of the chipmunk…very different organization.
This is camping spot I have been to many times . Started going to 1994
It’s a beautiful spot!
Wow, when? This must have been spring. Cold running creek and snow caps... The Line fire is exactly this area. Hope it bounces back.
Yeah it was late May. I really hope it recovers quickly too. I’m sure the grasses and bushes will be back soon.
That wasn't an intense meteor shower on the horizon. It's satellites. I'm pretty sure it's Starlink. I've captured that exact pattern many times now in multiple locations now throughout soCal.
There are definitely satellites in the shots, but the random short, rapid streaks are from a meteor shower.
City Creek, 1N09 love this place. Proposed to my wife on it... aaaaaaannnnnnnddddd its all burnt down. FYI the area "hit by floods" was damaged by a VERY rare hurricane last year.
You picked a great spot! It’s such a shame basically my entire route has burned. Do you know if the lookout is ok?
I remember reading about the hurricane! It makes sense now.
@@RevereOverland Not sure, I'll check it out in a couple months if the trail is open and I'll let you know!
nice video! just curious how long did you run the timelapse for?
Yep also what type of Toyota pickup truck Tundra model is that?!
I'm goin ' this weekend! Looks like there is no space if someone comes from the other direction
Check to make sure it is open. There is sadly a massive fire there currently :(
You been under a rock? Forest is closed until at least Nov. Northside of BB open.
@@HammerHed13 not under a rock when it said "just outside LA" I was thinking closer. I don't consider Riverside, Redlands, Rancho, Upland, etc. to be just outside Los Angeles. Maybe just outside LA county. Not a huge deal but thanks for your insightful comment. It's really pushed me to stretch myself in many positive ways.
Fire permits can be completed online for free
Meteor showers, airplanes, pretty much the same thing 😅
They’re very different. The aircraft are the long bright lines that go across the entire picture at the start and very end of the clip. The meteor shower is the rapid short streaks just above the horizon. If you’re watching on a phone it’s hard to see.
This video illustrates the fact that trying to enjoy nature and the outdoors in southern California is a complete waste of time. Regulations, permits, closures, and locked gates are an everyday thing. The government is acting like we are all a bunch of 9 yr-olds. A permit for a stove?
That beautiful Tacoma belongs in Oregon or Idahoe.
Sadly, the Line fire was arson. Thay caught the person who is thought to be responsible for multiple fires. 😢
I hate that people do stuff like that
I love that baby.
Your son has no idea the lifo the is living. Teach him well!
I’m sure he doesn’t fully appreciate it yet, but he enjoys himself and I certainly appreciate that!
@@RevereOverland totally blessed 👍🏼
👍👍😃⛰️
So sad. Someone have to go burn this beautiful mountain. It won’t be until at least a year before it reopens but then, it won’t look the same.
keep LA and OC people out of out trails lol
Did you forget your son?
Where's your wife ?
She was staying nearby in an RV
