This is our third day in California and my sixth day on the road. It has been an experience to say the least. At this point I'm ready to be home while at the same time itching to road trip more back roads and small towns. This trip has been very tiring but very worth the drive.
I hope you enjoyed what little educational nuggets I was able to share as well as the scenery. It took me hours to find the still shots. I took them on a camera that I didn't even remember taking out of my camera bag. That's how tired I was. I shot two days on a Nikon that I didn't even remember unpacking. Haha
The music is Virginia Highway - Tigerblood Jewel from Epidemic Sound
That retired USAF base is where both of my sons were born, before the base was shut down. And the building with the boats parked next to it was where my LASER business was located for a while. I really got a chuckle when I saw that. Thanks for the video and I'm glad you enjoyed your visit.
Really do appreciate you taking us along on this trip--the scenery alone was worth it, but the process of moving the bees around and hearing the "mad cow" story was epic! Many parts of California really are drop-dead gorgeous, and lots of great people there.
Dachshunds indeed RULE!! they are the sweetest little doggies ever!!
@@gailwalton5779 Big thumbs-up!
Thanks for vloging your trip. Hoping your Daddy is doing better🙏
Will definitely be using that tie down trick in the future! Thanks...
Me too. Good stuff.
Now put one twist between the load and the attachment point to keep them from vibrating in the wind
That strap trick is AWESOME! I've been driving professionally for 20+ years, & I've never seen/heard of this trick! Less than a year of my driving experience has been with flatbeds, so that might could be why I never knew of it.
THANKS for taking us along on this trip! I really enjoy the photographs that you included at teh end of the videos.
This was a great journey for me, but your photography is getting so good only a professional could critique it. And I am not that! So I just enjoyed the heck out of it. Thanks for taking me (and all those other folks!!) along for the ride. Now about that log story?
Yeah...I wanna hear that one, too. Shouldn't be too difficult to tell...MOF, easy as falling off a log! :P
Good to see they were all able to put him together again. We woulda missed him!
You can tell it's the foothills of the Central Valley from the iconic oak trees and granite outcroppings all over the place. Once you look for them you can see them in a lot of productions, music videos, TV/movies.
Way south of the North Valley Butte County area, for sure.

City slicker (c).... nice group of cows
Farmer (f)... Herd
C - heard what
F - herd of cows
C - course I heard of cows, I just pointed em out.
F - nooooooo.... the cows herd
C - I don't care what the cows heard, I ain't said nothing wrong... 🤣🤣
Glad you had a good trip and experience brother 🙏
Haha! Great! This reminds me of “Who is on first?”
Haha cute!
Glad you came during spring and not summer/fall when everything would be dried out and dead.
We're called The Golden State for 2 reasons... The gold (duh), and most of the year the dry grassy hills are a bright golden color.
And the poppies, don't forget the poppies! And the mustard. And the fiddleneck. And....at least they missed Fire Season, thank god. But just barely.
Those were tame cows. Just wanted to see the new people and check out the new stuff in their area.
I'm a city boy, well, a suburban one, and I know that (1) you don't piss them off (they're bigger than you!), and (2) they're curious. One time, I'm driving from work and I see Oreo cows. I went over to them. They looked at me to see what I was up to. Once they saw I wasn't doing anything they cared about, they went back to grazing.
OTOH, one time I was biking on a trail and encountered a calf in a fenced field maybe 100' from me. It looked at me, I looked at it. Then it turned and mooed a few times. A few minutes later, some adults appeared at a fast walk and looked at me. I got the general impression I was welcome to mooove along.
Then again, a field of calves acted like big puppies.
We would actually call most of them calves as they were not fully grown!
Those were very hungry cows. Even the calf was bony
Love this journey into another realm of beekeeping. Where hobby beekeeping is a way of life turns into what saves a life. Without veggies on a commercial level we would all starve.
Gonna be a very dry, tough year. Hoping we all make it through safely!
When ever you have a cow that wants to fight I like to remind them I am hungry and they are dinner. You never see them for a very long time.
I heard all deary men go to heaven. LOL
Lol
I have been driving trucks for 12 years and have never seen that before very impressive feel silly I never thought of that before myself after seeing it done great video as always stay safe
I know what you mean. Wish I'd seen that a lot sooner, too!
Thank you sooo much for letting us follow you, and for the photos ❤ It hss been very interesting to see the changing landscapes and you take brilliant photos (from one amateur photographer to another).
I watch all your videos and am learning a lot. I don’t comment much... but your videos are greatly appreciated. Hope your Dad is in good health. God bless (from a Pittsburgher in Papua New Guinea!)
They would have just used the trucks to scratch their butts, they don't have a whole lot of bite power they don't even have top teeth. They like to investigate new things by licking and sniffing things but they don't do a whole lot of damage. They were playing with you.
OK I will ask the question. How do they graze without top teeth?
@@julieenslow5915 Goats don't have top front teeth either. Their top gums are tough enough to snap a branch though, so don't get your fingers in there. They do, however, have both top and bottom back teeth.
@@highlandhoneybee
Thank you. Learned something rather basic I didn't know. Love that!
@@julieenslow5915 Pinch the grass between teeth and the dental pad up top and rip. Sheep and goats same way.
Born and raised in beautiful Southern California, wouldnt live anywhere else, and I’ve traveled the world...love my home state.
Northern CA here---and I mean NORTHERN--and same.
Great video! Thanks for sharing this adventure!! That knot is so simple......after you showed it to me!!🤔😉🤣🏴☠️🏴☠️
"Running non stop" is just a figure of speech I'm sure, lol. :)
Great video! Really enjoyed it! But hey... I'm still waiting to hear the story about Humpty Dumpty! :-)
Ian from The Canadian beekeepers blog showed me that knot! Great vid. Native Californian here. Live about 30-40 mins from where you were. Love the videography of your vids.
Why, you KNOTTY man! Thank you so much for that knotting technique, been needing that for a LONG time. :) Hint for further cattle issues....bring a bale of hay, drop it forty feet away from the FIRST gate, spread it out a bit. Generally they'll just go eat rather than lick your truck.... :)
Viral video: Rooster 🐔 vs cow 🐄. 😂😂. Super cool video. Interesting stuff. So I guess they weren’t there but about a week I figured they would be there a lot longer. Better be careful, we’ll have to put you in a walker to get across your yard. 😂. Take care.
California is my favorite state. So beautiful! Its nice to appreciate it thru your vids. Thank u❤
Found your channel during lockdown. Rediscovered it last week. I love honey, terrified of anything with wings and a stinger, but am mesmerized. These videos are very zen. Thank you for your work. Be well.
Never knew California had such peaceful areas. Amazing once you get off the beaten path, what's around the next curve, lol, not too many corners out there. The strap info was an amazing time saver. Better than Granny knots or electrical tape to hold in place. Thanks for the excellent video.
While your out there your missing The Chosen season two but don’t take my word for it start with season one. You’ll love it. Glad you’re coming back this way drive safe and bee blessed
that strap trick tho!!!!
Right?!!!
Been carting stuff most of my life! - so simple eh?
I am here for that!
I've been out to San Diego once when I was younger. Some pretty interesting people and places.
Beautiful Sights! Thanks to All the Girls and You Guys! Wouldn't have much end 'products' if it wasn't for You, Farms, Trucks & Gates. : }
_Awwww_ Come On don't be so mean, that's a sign of Love or big begging Dogs. Maybe only an offer of grass . . Or Turn on the Tunes. ?
Loved the scenery! And the cow story was great...Cows are so curious, they want to explore everything new. That said, a calm cow one min can turn into an angry cow pretty quick around people it does not know. We need more crazy stories like that one. Great video.
Loving the scenery Randy! Thanks for taking us along on your Cali adventures! Not a fan of the state, but there sure is some beautiful country down there. Now if their residents would quit leaving their state and imposing their agenda elsewhere, we could get along just fine. LoL!!! 🤣
Safe travels friend!
Somehow you popped up and watched. Really enjoy the videos. Love your pictures.
Thank you DirtRooster, for sharing. I'm thinking of your Dad. See you soon.
Thank you. He’s coming out of another surgery now. Doctor says everything went well.
@@628DirtRooster Good news! Thank you for letting us know. You'll be in my thoughts. God bless.
@@628DirtRooster Sending you guys the VERY best; hope this is the end of that mess for good!
Cows are very curious and just want to see what's going on lol..They had babies so the moms will be protective of them. Good thing you didn't try to pet the calves they really get mad at us lol
That cow was saying eat more “Chicken” 😂
Really enjoy your videos. discovered them while I'm stuck home with covid. Been binging a ton of them. Very interesting to know where the name 628 Dirt Rooster comes from?
@2:00 True story. From your video, California is beautiful. Keep in mind I've never been but I always pictured it as John Travolta, Gwen Stefani and Howard Stern, in the "Three's a Crowd" apartment. With Mr. Roper knocking on the door 72 times a day looking for Jack... Mr. Roper was worried about that kid and was trying to give him fatherly advise... I digress.
Enjoyed the ride Randy.. the Californian countryside reminds me a bit of N.E. Victoria called Gippsland. Jim; Australia 🇦🇺
Love the country areas.
Hello i enjoy your bee removal videos you are bold and fearless with those bees and great at doing the after repairs too especially the video with that beadboard and you guys marked each piece with a number to repair good idea and were able to repair it so smoothly i also was wondering when you had pointed out about your rosy cheeks but then didn't expand so i found in the comments your reply about chemo cream praying for you bud i wanted to share with you robert clancy and mark hemans both on you tube they are ministries they often get words of knowledge for people and the Lord is moving mightly through these ministries as he still heals today! praying for your full recovery and your health to flourish in jesus name!
Randy, I certainly hope that you enjoyed your trip! You are oh so right about the politics in CA!
Wait for those cow pies to firm up slightly, then it's on for a game of cow-pie frisbe. Last one not hit wins the game. lol
Trying to watch you and Talladega....you won.😂🤣🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
The cowboy🤠 beekeeper🐝 🐄 Cows are something else 😂
So I'm guessing they allow the bees to hive in the pecan orchard then transport them out? Loved this thank you!
That knot on the strap was neat. See you on the next video Rooster 🐓 be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
Hi Rooster! I live near Valencia Spain and have a very small orchard (55 trees orange, mandarin, pomegranate,apple,peach, plums and persimmon) our orchard sounds like a race track in the spring, all the flowers are in bloom on the trees and the bees do a fantastic job of pollinating the trees.. we've been here 16 years and this year for the first time ever, had a swarm fly right over my head, I heard them coming. The noise was something else! They settled on the trees but within half an hour, they took off and headed to our neighbours! Luckily, he doesn't live here full time like us, never saw the Bees after that, they didn't stay next door either. I used to be terrified of Bees and wasps after being stung when I was a small girl of 5, but living here amongst them I now can pick up a Bee, wasps I steer clear of!! I love your videos, I think they've helped me a lot, learning about them. Thanks!!
One other thing, didn't they tell you never to be near cows with calves? They are Very protective of their calves and are known to have hurt, even killed people who've been walking their dogs or just walking and gone into a field with cows and their babies and found themselves being kicked and trampled to death by them. Take great care!!! Sending love from my family to yours. Chez in Lliria Valencia Spain xx
I am really enjoying your California videos. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure!!
Love the jenky tone of that song!
Yes, Rooster, what is that please?
I can’t remember. I think I put it in the description. If it’s not there let me know and I’ll look it up when I get home.
@@628DirtRooster
Oh. In my defense, I have never wondered before..... not that I remember. But thank you!!!
I really like it too!
Up in bear country I ratchet strap every hive, really like that method of keeping the straps tidy.
good jam love your videos WTH were you doing in cali????? lol you dont have to go that far to be chased by cows lol Virginia Highway - Tigerblood Jewel from Epidemic Sound reminds me of north Mississippi all-stars
Great vid, I can tell you first hand experience tie up your straps no matter how you do it. I had one fall down between the cab and box and wrap around the drive shaft at about 50 miles per hr sounded like a bomb going off. Little bit larger strap could have cost me a transmission and or drive shaft.
Haa! In the 90’s I handled an insurance claim on a truck that happened to. It wasted his driveshaft and damaged the rear cab panel and front bed panel. I’d never seen that before. Made me pay attention to how I secure my strap ends.
🤣😂😅 you telling the story of the cows is hilarious.
I was literally laughing out loud as he’s telling the story. Too funny! 🤣
When I saw the beginning of the video I thought I knew exactly where you were. Looks just like where I used to live. : )
Ok I use those straps everyday almost and that was a slick trick. Thanks for showing us that dirt rooster
I have seen some rickety old fences that wouldn't keep a frisky lamb in much less a bunch of cattle, but some of those just about take first prize!
I’m new to your channel! Petrified of bees- any bee- but love watching you and your cow story has me laughing so hard! All I can say is I’ll never take honey for granted again! Never! God Bless- and you have a new fan!
Stopped on a back road ride to see some cows that were pretty close to the road when my daughter was about 15, she loved em. There was a fence and they were well back from it, giving us the hairy eyeball. She got out and took just a few steps away from the car and was talking to them and they didn't move. Before I could say anything she touched the fence. Knocked her on her ass and she tasted her fillings for a couple hours. The cows knew. :D
That's one heck of a trip!!!! Thanks!
Welcome Home 🐝🐝🐝 Hope all is well.
That's some beautiful country side. Lucky ass live stock until there numbers up .
Looks like you were close to Yosemite. Bring the wife next year and take a day trip. Everyone should see the Yosemite Valley at least once. February/ March the waterfalls should be flowing well.
We’ve been to California three times before and still haven’t seen Yosemite. Maybe next year.
@@628DirtRooster I’d put Yosemite Valley on my short list of places to see before I die. Sedona and Grand Canyon would make the list too.
Next time you come through let us know. We can recommend so great spots to see on the way through.
Man I love the ratchet strap tie off.... I've been doing it the hard way forever
The shots of the cows remind me of “South Park”
California is beautiful. Glad you had a good time.
I like it in the spring when all the hills are green. Late summer when it is all dry, brown, and 100 degrees it is not as nice.
From the pictures, those cattle were young (high teenager in human terms) and curious. Just havin' fun with the newb cowboy. Not that damage couldn't have been done to the truck. I don't believe you were in any danger.
Great trick with the rope!
Beautiful scenery. Moooove along now 💕👍😊
Quite the adventure!
ahhh the subtle difference of stepping in versus on
Ha!!
I’m in the bay area but southern part south from San Jose. It’s beautiful and perfect weather but yes, our politics is a mess....
Love the music as always ,great and your photography is spot o!! stay safe !
Randy its good luck stepping in a cow patty, and if possible always take a dog with you to the cow pastures, the dogs will keep the cows at bay.
There's a saying, there's not enough sugar for the scent...
Seems like alot of infrastructure, is the money that good?
But, pretty scenery and loads of fun and work with great new friends.
Any further up that hill and you'd be at my fishing spots!
2 things...one, you’re right about the people running this state. And two, I know exactly the road you were on when the broker was on the phone.
Hope your trip was safe looks like a serious experience aside from the breakdowns. Glad your safe.
Very cool video Randy. Very cool.
I love this video!!! I just laughed so hard about the cow story I have to hear about Humpty Dumpty too. 🤣😂🤣😂🥰😍😍😍
4:00 That gives me an idea... have you ever thought about milking your bees? ;D
Awesome mad cow story!!!!
Randy, Loving every part of this trip.
I hate falling off of stuff too. The Mexicans call me big bird. I fell moving stuff once, carrying a portion of a big tent. I told the boss I was alright and that I flew well but landed poorly. Now it’s big bird.
Another adventurous 628DirtRooster video with great photography. What lens & f-stop did you use to take your pics?
That thing your foot took a chunk of on the ground,, looks like A Cinnamon Bun,,😂🤣😁🇱🇨👊🏿👍🏿♥️♥️
No it doesn't! LOL
I lay heavy odds you could do that old mean cow in with a knife and a fork a couple of times on a PLATE! Somebody needs to eat that thing after the bacon taste buds get back to normal. Prayers for Pop and yall get some too. GBWYall! (Us'ns) here in the hills.
man i would love to try some broccoli seed honey in my haircare products
I think those cows wanted to thank you @628 DirtRooster for loving bacon more than you loved beef! 😁😂🥓
You guys were having a good old time with them cows. Mad cow is right. Sounds like that black one had ya in his sights. I grew up with horses and learned quickly with one of them. Speak softly and carry a big stick. When ya pull that baby out they usually put their ears back up and go into friendly mode. Thankfully I’ve never needed to swing that bugger. When they needed intimidating that sure did the trick. Most horses are pretty timid. I’m sure cows can be the same. It only takes one bad apple to put you on guard.
Did you by chance run into a gentleman by the name Will Olsen from Spokane? Great guy and beekeeper.
He had bees on almonds.
At 9:19 I WANT A TRUCK BED LIKE THAT.
They cost like around $6k.
Always at least one crazy cow in a herd. Grew up around cows and horses. The horses will eat your paint. Lol
I used to date one
I really enjoyed your trip
Thanks
Jo Jo in VT 😆💕
Glad to see ya still at it
Looks like you’re having fun 😆🐝🐝

also i was thinking with your amazing photography skills your wife and you should start doing arts craft shows and selling your prints as your work is really beautiful at what you capture it could be another side business
They're comin' atcha with a hammer and a bundle of twine! Run!!!
Dude.....I know you got cow tipp'n footage on that trip. I can't believe you didn't show that. So disappointed
The cow claimed she slipped.
