    I always enjoy visiting the desert with you! Absolutely beautiful 😊 The weather always looks so pretty in the distance, I don't like when it catches up 😅

      Agree with you. Especially in the desert! Those storms can sometimes be absolutely crazy!

    That is the fewest people I've ever seen at Seven Magic Mountains. Last time I was there I even saw an Uber driver looking for someone and a food truck setup. The Fallout stuff was pretty neat. I ran across a place in LA awhile back that I knew from LA Noire and was pretty excited about it.

      🤣 An Uber driver? Dang! That's kind of funny. Oooh. LA Noire is a great game too! It's absolutely so strange when you come across a real life location you previously only knew in a game, isn't it?

    I really enjoyed the drive through the Mojave desert but that drone footage at the end was fantastic. I have driven over that bridge many times but often don't even know it. Great adventure!

      Thanks so much! That means a lot. 😄

    The “mountains” were an installation by an artist that took 5 yrs. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m a “leave no trace” kind of girl.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, we definitely fall into that category too. Much like one of our last videos on Goldome Mill, art can be subjective but it really is a beautiful area on its own.

      People do little spirals near “Spiral Jetty”. Holzer’s “City” is in Basin and Range NM, not that it’s really see-able. The ultimate “trace” in that sense. That artwork really affected by view of art. He also did “Double Negative” near Las Vegas.

    I've been to Goodsprings quite a few times. It's an interesting little town. But I didn't realize there is a walking tour. Thank you! I'll look into it.

    Oh my goodness- Glenn cracked me up when he broke up his video game thing on his arm!! That was too funny!! Such beautiful landscapes! I loved the backroads home- the ocotillo blooming is so pretty!!

      I had totally forgotten he brought it, to be honest. I cracked up when I saw it, too. 😅

    Thanks for more Mojave Desert fun! Man, I can never get enough of the drone footage. You can get to the more remote places and when you get those high shots that show so much...epic!

    Love the pipboy. Your videos actually remind me of playing new vegas. Partially why I enjoy them.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you, glad you like them! It's hard not to be reminded of or feel like you're in New Vegas if you're familiar with the game. 😄

    Absolutely Loved the Fallout New Vegas references while you were filming Goodsprings...Funny thing is that even though the bikers might have ruined your chance of filming the store and saloon, it's almost fitting that they were there. If You recall from the game, the " Powder Gangers" tried to take over
    Goodsprings. Those bikers ARE the Powder Gangers!

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      😂 Good point. Time to round up the Goodsprings citizens and get ready for a showdown. 😅

  • @ThatOneDudeNick
    @ThatOneDudeNick ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I laughed when you brought out the Pip-Boy. Goodsprings is neat, bunch of Fallout memorabilia in the store and bar; aged Nuka Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles and stuff, they definitely enjoy the business from video game fans and offroaders. I've gone to the bar for breakfast and dinner. Solid burger and the cinnamon roll biscuit is good. I believe you can request eggs from chickens raised in town, so they're super fresh.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  ปีที่แล้ว

      We're both pretty big fans of the Fallout series so a visit to Goodsprings seemed like a must-do. We saw that they had a Fallout event last year... might have to make a trek out for the next one in November. 😅

    "Patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for a nuclear winter!" Honestly, I kept thinking of FO:NV these last few videos. Nelson? Nipton? Good Springs? Glad to know it was intentional, lol

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha. Heavily inspired, yes. It's hard not to wander around that area and not think of the game. 😄

    I'm a fairly new subscriber and i've enjoyed following along on your road trips! Thank you for sharing your experiences. Really got a kick out of the Fallout references on this one. As a biker and a gamer I was really hoping you'd walk into the saloon with your Pip-Boy. 😆 I'll get one too and we'll go back in there. See you on the road. 👍

    It seems like I make the same comment to you again and again..........but I cannot tell you just how much I LOVE your vids! You do the very type of exploring/travelling that I used to do many years ago. I miss that kind of adventure so much it hurts, but you make it easier by taking me/us along with you!
    And I know I've said this before, as well, but.......the deserts of the Southwest are so very magical! Just loved your footage, especially in the "botanical garden-like" area, because you capture the beautiful colors better that way! Oh, I would give anything to experience the smell of the creosotes after a light rain! There just isn't a more beautiful aroma in the world, IMO. Except maybe night blooming jasmine!
    And I have **probably** also told you before, that personally, I actually LOVE the "from the cab" footage! Helps me sort of get to experience the fun of the drive. I know it can be exhausting, but DANG, it is so much fun, and so very uplifting and healing in these circumstances.
    Blah blah blah! I'll stop now. OH, except, gotta also shout out to whoever (your wife?) does the editing and choosing the music! That's some major talent behind the scenes there!!!
    👍👏

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Aww, thank you! 😊 Yup... It's me (Amy, Glenn's wife) who edits the videos. Glenn does here and there when he has a project he really wants to do, but for the most part he's filming and I'm editing. Appreciate the nice words and we're so super happy that we can bring you along on trips. 😄👍

      @MissAstorDancer ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@CactusAtlas - Hi, Amy! Do you also choose the music? I would think that would have to be the case, but then, I'm completely ignorant about making vids! In any case, the music choices are always so excellent, and accompany the footage beautifully! Thank you, BOTH for all your hard work!

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do choose the music, yes. Basically Glenn comes home with the footage, I grab all the clips off the SD card, and then take over everything from there. Thank you again. It means so much to us. 😊
