Damn, some precarious trails with that loose rock so close to the edge. Nice job navigating and great footage!

Thank you. Have to give that credit to my amazing wife. She did an awesome job capturing how close to the edge we were. It was a fun expedition. Death Valley is amazing. Part 2 coming soon.

Great video, thanks for the shout out, (Thrifty Overlander) I am watching from London, couldn't wait until I got home. Interesting that you had snow in that heavy brush area by the spring and it was completely gone 1/2 hour or so later when we went through. Our group mentioned more than once how nice everyone in your group was. Looks like you had a great time.

Amazing adventure and very skilled, responsible driving. Loved the food. Good job. I’ll never be able to do that. Too dam old and way too cautious. I’ll stick to trail cruising and rock hounding in my Willys Jeep.

Getting out there is all that matters. 👊Nothing like cruising out on the trail. Always love rock hounding, found some cool ones out on our adventures.

Great video. We were there in early February. There was snow on some of the trail and at Rogers Pass. We did your path in reverse and Chicken Corners heading down. That was tricky to keep the vehicle from sliding. I think heading up is better as you have more control. But with a good spotter we made it with no issues. The shelf road itself wasn't a problem. The cabins up there are great! We base camped in Trona so we didn't spend the night. Next time!

So in that area that you're in. I used to camp in the valley below when I was doing my field work for my degree in geophysics. I used to love it because you would wake up in the morning from the descendants of old minor burros calling out. I remember there was a nudist colony out there too. Lol

Emmett C Harder, author of “These Canyons Are Full Of Ghosts” is 90 years old and lives in Devore, CA with his lovely wife, Ruth. I was on the phone with him yesterday 4/10/2023 as he described his vintage cabin in Wood Canyon, nearby your driving route up to Rogers Pass. I’m trying to locate vintage photos of Mr Harder’s cabin. He also landed in his Cessna 170 right at Barker Ranch during the Charlie Manson days to meet up with a geologist to assist with his mining claims. Wild stories for sure. Love your video production style, narration and the soundtrack is classy.
