If you could stay or go back to Anza Borrego for the spring bloom, it should be incredible this year with all the rain!! When I still lived in southern CA, I went out on an off road long weekend with the Sierra Club to see the bloom and it was one of the greatest things I've seen in my life. Every single plant out there was blooming! All the cacti, every shrub and tree. Absolutely gorgeous. We did have an ungodly wind storm the first night and it shook my Jeep Cherokee so bad I didn't have any sleep. The noise of so much sand hitting the car was enough to keep you awake too, but the blooms were worth it!

Those sculptures are great! Thanks for sharing.

Small world, got to meet you and Louie on your walk today and came back to the trailer and saw a new episode posted. We love your channel- Kyle & Michelle

That first was not a boondock failure actually it was a success because had you continued you would have been stuck. Great wisdom people. ❤

Finding all the sculptures at Galleta Meadows is the challenge. There's 130 of them. There are maps online to help. My favorite is the '46 Willys jeep climbing a rock with a driver and passenger having a great time.

You’re early. It’s going to be a good year with the desert wild flower bloom this year with the rain we’ve been getting.

Louie is such a gentleman, I saw he went behind the rock to do his business. First trip out in my RV I had to do the back up trick, and I was by myself. What a lesson. Good video guys.

Thanks for sharing and taking us along!

I know that area well. I used to haul gypsum out of Ocotillo Wells and my friends and I used to visit Borrego Springs all the time. 120 Degrees F in the shade. Take a lot of water with you.

To anyone who enjoys boon docking, check out the shower miser and sink miser from Aqua view. Saves so much from your fresh water tank when you wash dishes or even a rinse shower. Especially if you have a tankless water heater.

Happy New Year.

I’m with you regarding research. I don’t want to know allllll the things. Then there are no surprises! Thanks for showing this eclectic place.

Very nice! He couldn't put a prettier lady on display when he does for you to take a bit of your food, Chris. Thanks for sharing those sculptures.

You guys absolutely picked the right restaurant. Toni and I were down in Borrego boondocking last week and ate at the Red Ocotillo. We live in San Diego so we've been to Borrego Springs many times. I'm glad you enjoyed our backyard, Anza Borrego truly is a hidden gem! If you're still in the area, and make it over to Slab City, go see East Jesus. It's full of amazing artwork and is a must see.

arb air compressor (12v) from 4wheel parts so you can air down to 15psi and own those situations! Arroyo tapiado area on the south side is great too. Great vid guys -

Very much enjoyed this video. I love the respectful interaction between both of you. Thank you for all your work and producing this one. Oh, and I really like the music You chose in the background

We had a Basenji and he was our most wild child of a dog.... New to your videos and so far 👍

Just went there today. Too bad we missed you guys.

They do make FRS & GMRS walkie talkies that have GPS and you can share your location live on a map on the radio color display. Don't cost much.

Great video! Just found you today. Well done; love the conversation!

Those sculptures are so cool

Love the video. Keep them coming! 😊

We loved coachwhip, but we camped about a 100 yards from the road, right about where you parked, haha, we stayed for a week. Bad cell coverage. Great little canyon in the back to go thru thou for a hike with the dog. Across the road is Arroyo Salida I think? Good cell and a potty and some tables, more primitive camping.

I love the music in this video!!! I love boondocking too. I’ve been in an RV park since I traveled to AZ and it is comfy but ready to have some adventure.

Good Eats guys, Thanks for the sculpture ride a long. Very Cool 🍻

Great video guys, looks like a fun spot to hit. We just got our new rig a few weeks ago and are super excited to have some adventures in unknown places with all the cool things to see and do!

The song sounds good. Love the sculptures.

Very cool adventure! I can appreciate the trailer / traversing / narrow / sandy & in my present location, Minnesota, snow depth. I have a FWC, and am towing a 21’ enclosed trailer which serves as my garage. Better to walk, look and plan then to send 5 times as long extracting you rig. I had a receiver hitch mounted on the front of my Super Duty, then mounted a Warn Winch in it’s cradle. It can help in a tricky situation.

The park is named for Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and the Spanish word borrego, or bighorn sheep.

Great video! We love the Anza Borrego area - live right over the mountains to the west - Very interested to see where you go next. Blair valley is pretty nice :)

Ah, you weren't too far from me. I am in Palm Springs and heading to Organ Pipe Cactus NM tomorrow. Later in the spring, I will be heading to San Diego, so might be a good time to go to Borrego Springs. Those sculptures look amazing! Thanks for the video!

Off road fat tire ebike would be handy for checking out what's ahead on the road.

Your comment about holding it down was hilarious!

Yummy yummy yummy !!! Great things to look at down there and the metal objects with the different design!! As always BS & BK & BC !!

The next time you go you must go to Fonts Point it is really spectacular. Also camping at the state park and hiking up to the oasis is really nice.

Chris you look amazing in this video.

After you first night ALL was BETTER. Loved the video!

Very well done! We boondock ~75% in our ORV 26KRV as well. Especially when we are in the S.W. My highest anxiety moments are heading off road to a new spot and wondering if I'll be able to turn around. I do a lot of GOAL. (Get Out And Look). Numerous years ago I learned the hard way and had to back out for ~2 miles. Got some good experience on backing in tight areas though... Try useing plumbers grease around the seal about 3-4 x a year. It'll keep the seal good and pliable and you won't have the smell on the traveling days. Parking into the wind is a must down in that area. Yes; traveling days are tiring & stressful. With you on the Ruben ! Best ever is at Katz in NYC...

Hello Chris and Aaron!! This area has always been on my radar to come see on my Palm Springs overnights (though, I'd hate to waste exploring time around Palm Springs too). This video really hits home! Remy and I just returned from Rabbit Valley, just west of Grand Junction, Colorado. Imagine that 1st area you pulled into on this video....and it had been raining most of the day. Of course, I arrived after dark. The single lane dirt road, with berms on both sides, meandered, but traction was ok. Eventually, I reached a spot with an active, intermittent stream that had taken over the road. While backing up, at night, I reached a fairly deep dip that wasn't really great for backing the rig over. So....I became 'THAT GUY" by digging up one of the berms and doing a 3 point, back in turn around; which definitely tore up some of the limited desert vegetation. So...I just went back to the rec area parking area for the night. The next morning, I went to a different spot in the designated camping sites. I found one that was about 40 yards off the main dirt road; over that 40 yards the elevation dropped about 3 to 4 feet. I walked the spot before pulling in; only sinking in about 1-2 millimeters. When I pulled in, the truck and camper sank about 1.5 to 2 inches......and eventually, the truck and trailer slid sideways. I was stuck as heck. Fortunately, the truck could still drive after unhooking. The next day, I used the truck to pack down the area. Oh...I also pulled straight into this site due to the direction the wind was blowing (to keep the main wind off of the slide out topper). There was going to be no towing the rig out hehehehe. Several days later, during the warmth of the day, it that clay-ish material was still wet :-( So, we left at 5am so as to have a kind of frozen surface. Borego Springs looks really cool!! Thank you for sharing your journey here, with us!! Safe travels!

Just say no to RV parks.

We Boondock 90.0% of the time. The other 10.0% is at state and local parks and off grid. We have logged thousands of locations from the Rockies West alone…..Most every location is absolutely free

👉🚐👍🥂Happy New year!

Thank you for sharing. We will add this to our “plan to visit” list. Is that haze in the background near the mountains?

We will be staying in Bullhead City next month and attending the pyrotechnics show in Lake Havasu. Worth checking out.

Stumbled across your channel after my morning chores of feeding cattle and horses among other livestock we have here in western Montana. We use to live in palm desert and have family at PGAWest in la quinta , if you guys ever make it to the north reach out we have plenty of space for an RV

Hey Aaron, good to meet you at the scorpion sculpture! I recognized your Tremor truck and thought it may be you guys. Travel safe!

first time viewers; nicely done.

You guys have a great rig and i love the attitude . You guys missed Agua Caliente warm spring County of S.D. Park it's a great place the water is what you expect good for the body slite sulfer smell but very good for the skin hair ect ect muscles

It looks like you and sweet Louie had a good time! Be careful out there!

Great video~ I’m living vicariously through your awesome videos… I am still here on the farm I was born and raised on here in Pennsylvania ~ June 26 I will be 50 God willing so hey maybe I will get the courage by then to hit the road ! My year of jubilee!!

Mini Mountains - they exceed 7,000 feet and are tough to get over for private aviation. Check out the County Line Campground.

I'm a new subscriber. You guys are great. mrDee

Louie is awesome! You two are pretty cool also! Love your vids.

Glad that you didn't stay in the first location...too sandy! The purple flowers and artwork were awesome!

How about a drone for scouting down the sketchy roads?

I thought we only had those days. I thought I was the only one who thinks everyone is watching me if I don’t get settled in our spot fast. 😅

Very cool area!

For Louie, Cesar Milan (rules, boundaries, limitations)

Happy New Year. We camped in Chattanooga, TN through Jan 1st. Anyway great vid; You two love those Desert Boondocking spots; And i get it..Weather and simply no BLM lands here on the East.

Anza Borrego State Park is WEST of the Salton Sea, not east.

and the stars at night

We did a day trip to Anza-Borrego several years ago and are looking forward to returning when we retire. BTW, what's that up in the pocket on your dash? Looks like your TPMS; I like the mounting bracket. Thank you!

It's always my dream---so funny. Hallmark should make an entire line of cards. Put it in 4 wheel high collection. Hello from across the highway. Hope you are having a great event but what is with this weather? End of the week it won't even get out of the fifty's. Great sculptures!

Smart move on not going in. Many people with travel trailers under estimate this area and alot of people get stuck out here

When faced with high winds, what direction/position do you find works best with your trailer? Where do you like to have the wind impacting your trailer? Note: We also own a 22FQS.

I dunno Chris - I think that wine might have some major rusty notes! 😆

Enjoyed your Anza Borrega video. I camped & rode bike in the park- & learned the story of de Anza-just to ride some of the same trail he followed when he founded San Francisco made our trip worthwhile. I put a video on it on KZfaq. Search under my name & words like Anza Borrega state park.

Do you have leveling jacks or stabilizing jacks or both. And what do you use when it is extremely winds? Great fun video.

Looked like you had a very good chance could have made it in with trailer in tow. But any doubt, walking was the right thing to do, a must always when off roading. Still unsure, but thinking maybe I can make it. Unhook the trailer, deflate the tires down to 30 to 25 or even 20lbs. You know how much difference 4 wheel drive high vs 2 wheel drive and then low vs 4 wheel drive high make. Deflating the tires makes that much difference as well. Especially in sand. Then drive in with the truck only. This way you will know for sure how soft or deep you sink or not and if you could make it with the trailer in tow without getting stuck. But you should also have the following if you do not have so you can get the truck unstuck should it happen. Good traction boards such as Max Trax or similar high end traction boards. No short cuts on these. They will get you out of 75% stuck situations like this. And an on board or really good portable compressor such as a Viair or ARB for inflating the tires once your back out. Then you can go into prime spots like that with relative assurance of not getting stuck.

Lucky number 7 comment. Christine was talking about waiting…..you guys need to get some radios. They can be a game changer. Invest the money, get a GMRS radio license and some GMRS radios.

You guys are so cute! And brave!😂

Does Louie wear doggie seat belt when not he's not in the crate while traveling? Do you have doggie booties for Louie for hiking?

We had the same thing with our rv and changed the toilet. One thing was the toilet was actually causing seeping between the bowl and the outside shell. Terrible design!

What is the area you stayed at called?

Dy’in to find out how y’all endured the rain 🌧️ if you have stayed in Cali. 😮

Check out the BLM land/ campsites at Carizzo Plain near Bakersfield. Good level of off reading challenge for your set up

I liked the folksy music, who was that?

I forget.......... do you have walkies??

Any Californians ask about those Northerners accents? Sounds so interesting

Walkie talkies?

Not a fan of Anza Borrego. Too barren

We try to park our nose facing South.
