A Timeless Good Time on One of Our Favorite Trails in the California Shaver Lake Area - SWAMP LAKE
Рет қаралды 93,969
2 жыл бұрынOne of our favorite places in California to go camping and wheel is up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and close to the town of Shaver Lake. And, while the area is best known for the Dusy Ershim, there are in fact a ton of other great trails and one of the more technical ones, is known as Swamp Lake. Now, I should note that this is in fact a trip that we filmed a while ago and for reasons that completely elude us, we never made a video of it or at least, not until now. Obviously, you won't be seeing any Jeep JL Wranglers or JT Gladiators but we hope that you'll stick around to watch it anyway, if only because, it's still a great story, filled with lots of fun wheeling and let's be honest, good times out on the trail are always timeless.

Bro if this video was filmed today you'd have people saying "geometry is a social construct of patriarchy" and "math is racisms"! Haha! Great video!

These videos are the reason I have a Jeep. I love the content, editing, and the overwhelming feeling of camaraderie on every trip. Please keep em coming, Eddie; these are a great motivator. Also, I've only ever wheeled manual rigs, so I understand the frustration of the orange JK, but I wouldn't chose an auto any time soon. Hats off to the orange JK; that took perseverance.

Great footage. Funny to see folks with stick shift. Ahhhh, those were the days. Oh, I meant, uggggg those were the days. Lol. Unless you're running like 150:1 ratio (exaggerated) doesn't make sense to run a stick. But hey, I remember all the hype. I was a clutch guy for a short time also. But as I sit in my JLUR, going back in time like this makes me really appreciate the advancements in transmissions. Keep the videos coming.
