Yep. Enjoy your potatoes. Thank you. Will do.

00:01:15,663 --> 00:01:18,289
That I never realized how much... Like, you

34
00:01:18,289 --> 00:01:20,848
always you're joke about Irish being into their

35
00:01:20,848 --> 00:01:22,779
potatoes. Right? And you know what an ira.

36
00:01:23,471 --> 00:01:24,424

00:01:29,687 --> 00:01:30,803
Hot potato,

39
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:34,708
a 6 packet potato. Oh, okay.

40
00:01:35,824 --> 00:01:36,143
Got it.

41
00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:39,017
So yeah, They make a lot of things

42
00:01:39,017 --> 00:01:41,080
of potatoes over there. Just... That's okay. Yep.

43
00:01:41,318 --> 00:01:43,142
I like starch. You get a lot of

44
00:01:43,142 --> 00:01:46,045
starch. Yep. Their French fries are, like, super

45
00:01:46,262 --> 00:01:49,213
thick, chunky things too. So like, and they're

46
00:01:49,213 --> 00:01:51,127
almost a meal doesn't themselves. Yeah. They were,

47
00:01:51,206 --> 00:01:53,334
like, big fat wedges though. So

48
00:01:53,693 --> 00:01:53,932
Cool.

49
00:01:54,569 --> 00:01:57,119
Yeah. I'm excited. Yeah. I man. It's a...

50
00:01:57,438 --> 00:01:58,633
I hope you have a good time. Thank

51
00:01:58,633 --> 00:01:59,350
you. I.

52
00:01:59,908 --> 00:02:00,147
Forecast.

53
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:02,159
How was that? Was that a good accent

54
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,719
Or Or sure. I had a listener send

55
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:07,280
me a thing about Ireland and it was

56
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,014
an Irish guy talking about

57
00:02:09,452 --> 00:02:11,601
Americans coming over to Ireland and telling all

58
00:02:11,601 --> 00:02:14,624
the Irish people about how Irish the American

59
00:02:14,624 --> 00:02:17,330
is. Like they are. Right? Okay. Does that

60
00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:19,490
that makes sense? I I think I I

61
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:22,530
think fellow Irish man was talking about how

62
00:02:23,141 --> 00:02:26,553
Irish people don't care about how Irish.

63
00:02:27,282 --> 00:02:30,140
The American people are. Okay. They're because it...

64
00:02:30,617 --> 00:02:31,966
And he said a funny line, and it

65
00:02:31,966 --> 00:02:32,601
was pretty much like,

66
00:02:33,554 --> 00:02:35,554
everybody I know is Irish. So I don't

67
00:02:35,554 --> 00:02:37,936
care if you're Irish. Yeah. Everybody I know

68
00:02:37,936 --> 00:02:39,445
is Irish. Yeah. Like, it's not a big

69
00:02:39,445 --> 00:02:41,192
deal for me. U. I was like, hey.

70
00:02:41,351 --> 00:02:43,336
That makes sense. I'm not Irish.

71
00:02:44,384 --> 00:02:46,465
Not... Maybe there's a, you know, wee been

72
00:02:46,465 --> 00:02:48,944
in the family history or whatever, but I'm

73
00:02:48,944 --> 00:02:51,425
not any bit to my knowledge Irish, but

74
00:02:51,425 --> 00:02:54,153
the assistant is Irish. So she's all excited

75
00:02:54,153 --> 00:02:56,780
to go to Court County and all these

76
00:02:56,780 --> 00:02:59,488
places to do families, some family history, and

77
00:02:59,647 --> 00:03:00,762
I showed her this, and she's like,

78
00:03:01,414 --> 00:03:02,614
Yeah. That's a good point.

79
00:03:04,215 --> 00:03:04,375
Yeah.

80
00:03:05,014 --> 00:03:06,614
1 interesting thing that I found while I

81
00:03:06,614 --> 00:03:08,794
was there? Yeah. Is that they

82
00:03:09,175 --> 00:03:10,455
love American politics.

83
00:03:10,948 --> 00:03:13,732
Oh, goody. That's all over their new stations.

84
00:03:13,971 --> 00:03:15,641
Yeah. And they cover...

85
00:03:16,118 --> 00:03:18,425
Like, III must have been there during a

86
00:03:18,425 --> 00:03:19,061
presidential election year.

87
00:03:20,110 --> 00:03:22,735
Because that's all a a lot of people

88
00:03:22,735 --> 00:03:25,201
ended up talking with us about was, oh,

89
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,686
what are you guys doing your presidential elections

90
00:03:27,765 --> 00:03:29,600
Involved and how your primary going and all

91
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,232
this. Stuff Like, I don't know. Yeah. Like,

92
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:33,907
they knew more about our election stuff and

93
00:03:33,907 --> 00:03:35,422
our politics work than we do. Is that

94
00:03:35,422 --> 00:03:35,981
you? Yeah.

95
00:03:36,870 --> 00:03:39,169
It'll be it'll be... I think very entertaining.

96
00:03:39,327 --> 00:03:41,072
I think you got some fun conversations while

97
00:03:41,072 --> 00:03:42,919
you're there about this the theater

98
00:03:43,529 --> 00:03:46,013
dramatic that are going on here and the

99
00:03:46,013 --> 00:03:47,448
theatrical here in the states right now? It'll

100
00:03:47,448 --> 00:03:49,920
be really interesting. Yeah. Can I bring something

101
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,913
up that I forgot to talk about on

102
00:03:51,993 --> 00:03:54,395
Thursday's episode? I guess.

103
00:03:55,348 --> 00:03:55,746
Oh,

104
00:03:56,461 --> 00:03:57,255
I have something too.

105
00:03:59,082 --> 00:04:00,432
I can't believe I didn't think about it

106
00:04:00,432 --> 00:04:02,736
a Thursday's episode. Go. You first. Okay.

107
00:04:03,864 --> 00:04:05,614
While I was walking around at all the

108
00:04:05,773 --> 00:04:07,603
amusement parks that I was going to. Mh.

109
00:04:07,842 --> 00:04:10,804
I started thinking about can we create a

110
00:04:10,804 --> 00:04:13,621
am off road amusement park. Themed

111
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,240
place.

112
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:16,877
And have it be, like... Okay. So not

113
00:04:16,877 --> 00:04:19,375
an off road, a music park, an amusement

114
00:04:19,769 --> 00:04:22,565
the off road themed amusement park. Way. Yeah.

115
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:24,643
Okay. But have it be, like,

116
00:04:25,442 --> 00:04:26,581
sections of

117
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:29,132
the gun night section down out of at

118
00:04:29,292 --> 00:04:31,609
H Hill. And then you have, like,

119
00:04:32,329 --> 00:04:33,468
5 or 6 rigs

120
00:04:33,847 --> 00:04:36,417
that people drive through and have, like, a

121
00:04:36,417 --> 00:04:40,148
tour guide. Oh, that or or they have

122
00:04:40,148 --> 00:04:40,648
somebody,

123
00:04:41,179 --> 00:04:44,052
you know, like, your employee drives rigs through

124
00:04:44,052 --> 00:04:45,882
and you jump in the passenger seats, and

125
00:04:45,882 --> 00:04:47,632
you do, like, a a crazy loop, and

126
00:04:47,632 --> 00:04:49,621
then you come back and, you know, then

127
00:04:49,621 --> 00:04:50,439
you could have

128
00:04:51,067 --> 00:04:53,532
maybe an education area about 4 wheel and

129
00:04:53,532 --> 00:04:55,201
how to do 4 wheel or basic things.

130
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,416
You know, and you could

131
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:58,063
tie in all, like,

132
00:04:58,952 --> 00:05:02,930
safety and education into a fun off road

133
00:05:02,930 --> 00:05:04,521
amusement park where if you flop a rig,

134
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,563
it doesn't matter. Yeah. That would be definitely,

135
00:05:07,722 --> 00:05:09,716
I think something that could be useful here

136
00:05:09,716 --> 00:05:11,948
on the West Coast. Yeah. East coast has

137
00:05:11,948 --> 00:05:12,825
quite a few of,

138
00:05:13,463 --> 00:05:14,261
off road parks.

139
00:05:14,994 --> 00:05:16,593
I don't know how many of them do,

140
00:05:16,752 --> 00:05:19,070
like, guided tours where you can have somebody

141
00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:21,068
from the park actually give you a guided

142
00:05:21,068 --> 00:05:23,146
run. Mh. But that would be an interesting

143
00:05:23,146 --> 00:05:25,473
concept for sure. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you...

144
00:05:25,633 --> 00:05:27,065
And 1 of the things I was thinking

145
00:05:27,065 --> 00:05:28,657
was like, you just have, like, a little

146
00:05:28,657 --> 00:05:31,681
circle track or something in, like, 1 side

147
00:05:31,681 --> 00:05:33,432
of it is just whoops and you just

148
00:05:33,432 --> 00:05:35,682
have a true truck like, wow up a

149
00:05:35,682 --> 00:05:36,182
nail,

150
00:05:36,641 --> 00:05:38,559
you know, like, does 3 laps it goes

151
00:05:38,559 --> 00:05:40,236
over the whoops, you know, super fast, and

152
00:05:40,236 --> 00:05:42,169
then that writes done and you be unload

153
00:05:42,169 --> 00:05:43,209
a bunch of people, and you load a

154
00:05:43,209 --> 00:05:45,550
bunch of people back in. That would be

155
00:05:45,850 --> 00:05:46,669
to have

156
00:05:47,050 --> 00:05:49,370
different segments sections of the park. And 1

157
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:51,381
you'd have a mud bog in, an ultra

158
00:05:51,381 --> 00:05:53,214
4. You were just going through rocks at

159
00:05:53,214 --> 00:05:56,104
20 30 miles an hour, yeah. Trophy truck

160
00:05:56,162 --> 00:05:59,756
section, Rock crawling. Rock crawling section. I... That

161
00:05:59,756 --> 00:06:00,708
would be interesting,

162
00:06:01,184 --> 00:06:02,930
and that you could then throw in actually

163
00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:04,993
as some, like, roller coasters that are Yeah

164
00:06:04,993 --> 00:06:07,714
off road themes. Yeah. Yeah. And... Yeah. So

165
00:06:07,875 --> 00:06:09,714
I was thinking about all that when I

166
00:06:09,714 --> 00:06:12,675
was going throughout the the amusement parks. But

167
00:06:12,675 --> 00:06:14,035
my thought was, like, okay,

168
00:06:14,768 --> 00:06:16,518
because Knot Sp Farm did a really good

169
00:06:16,518 --> 00:06:19,700
job of education. U. In that in their

170
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:21,530
areas. They had, like, you know, old Western

171
00:06:21,530 --> 00:06:23,415
town and they talked about things that happened

172
00:06:23,534 --> 00:06:24,890
back in the day, like, how to forge

173
00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:27,362
metal, how to make, you know, food and

174
00:06:27,362 --> 00:06:28,022
how they

175
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:30,393
saved, you know, made Jerky to have it

176
00:06:30,393 --> 00:06:32,227
for later or whatever. They had all these,

177
00:06:32,387 --> 00:06:33,160
like, inner

178
00:06:33,678 --> 00:06:34,656
entertainment centers

179
00:06:35,193 --> 00:06:38,063
that were educational. Okay. Disneyland does a really

180
00:06:38,063 --> 00:06:38,860
good job at,

181
00:06:39,578 --> 00:06:41,650
while you're in line waiting for your ride,

182
00:06:42,144 --> 00:06:45,095
there's entertainment stuff happening in line. Yeah. That

183
00:06:45,095 --> 00:06:47,009
you could make educational. So I was thinking

184
00:06:47,009 --> 00:06:48,604
about all this. So, like, we can have

185
00:06:48,604 --> 00:06:50,062
an off road park

186
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:51,316
theme park. U.

187
00:06:52,128 --> 00:06:52,788
That is

188
00:06:53,163 --> 00:06:56,506
mainly for education reasons. U. But you get

189
00:06:56,506 --> 00:06:57,006
to

190
00:06:57,381 --> 00:06:59,291
go jump in a crazy rig and have

191
00:06:59,291 --> 00:07:00,326
a little bit of fun and then you

192
00:07:00,326 --> 00:07:01,853
go onto your next ride. Yeah.

193
00:07:02,728 --> 00:07:04,558
That'd be interesting. Yeah. I thought It was

194
00:07:04,558 --> 00:07:06,809
doing the price building. Yeah. Or

195
00:07:07,821 --> 00:07:09,348
Oh, and they'd be like, I had thought

196
00:07:09,348 --> 00:07:11,421
about Rc cars. Like, you know, our tire

197
00:07:11,421 --> 00:07:13,254
park Rc area. Yeah.

198
00:07:14,131 --> 00:07:15,189
Okay. That was

199
00:07:15,566 --> 00:07:17,422
that was mine if anybody wants to

200
00:07:18,055 --> 00:07:20,535
bat that idea around with ma'am all ears

201
00:07:20,535 --> 00:07:22,214
because I I think it's a fun idea.

202
00:07:22,535 --> 00:07:24,535
Yeah. What was yours that you've completely forgot.

203
00:07:24,789 --> 00:07:26,864
I have a secret. It's okay. But I

204
00:07:26,864 --> 00:07:28,380
can tell everybody. What?

205
00:07:29,018 --> 00:07:31,252
Okay. Like, you may... Know. You're... This time

206
00:07:31,252 --> 00:07:32,130
you're joking with me.

207
00:07:33,262 --> 00:07:35,733
No. No. No. You really can say. I

208
00:07:35,733 --> 00:07:37,408
really can say. Okay. So this is actually

209
00:07:37,408 --> 00:07:39,003
kinda funny because we were talking about it

210
00:07:39,003 --> 00:07:41,809
on last week we was recording? Yes. And

211
00:07:41,889 --> 00:07:43,086

212
00:07:43,086 --> 00:07:44,203
don't know what I can tell you. I

213
00:07:44,203 --> 00:07:45,879
know I can tell you after November third.

214
00:07:46,119 --> 00:07:46,938

215
00:07:47,396 --> 00:07:49,072
that's, I know for sure. I can tell

216
00:07:49,072 --> 00:07:49,551
you something.

217
00:07:50,363 --> 00:07:53,175

252
00:09:10,338 --> 00:09:12,172
I've gotta see how I'm gonna use them,

253
00:09:12,252 --> 00:09:14,108
but it sounds like there's gonna be

254
00:09:14,645 --> 00:09:16,102
2, maybe 3 tables

255
00:09:16,958 --> 00:09:18,075

00:09:24,634 --> 00:09:26,710
once I have more information about that, but

259
00:09:26,869 --> 00:09:28,726
I was called and told

260
00:09:29,438 --> 00:09:29,938
of

261
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:32,957
a few days, I wanna say the Wednesday

262
00:09:33,013 --> 00:09:35,079
after his celebration of life. Oh, wow.

263
00:09:35,795 --> 00:09:37,402
Is when I was told that it was

264
00:09:37,402 --> 00:09:39,395
happening and that he... They voted and he

265
00:09:39,395 --> 00:09:41,708
was ind, but they weren't gonna make the

266
00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:43,622
announcements until later in the year, so I

267
00:09:43,622 --> 00:09:45,456
couldn't... I was sworn to secrecy. No. Okay.

268
00:09:45,615 --> 00:09:47,862
Hi couldn't even tell his family. Yeah wow.

269
00:09:48,022 --> 00:09:50,276
They wouldn't let me tell Mike and

270
00:09:50,812 --> 00:09:52,486
Christine and Crystal.

271
00:09:53,204 --> 00:09:53,841
Wow. Yeah.

272
00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:56,491
But you got told. I got told because

273
00:09:56,571 --> 00:09:58,089
I was the 1 that submitted the application.

274
00:09:58,569 --> 00:10:00,746
So they tell the applicant

275
00:10:01,777 --> 00:10:03,367
if they... What the outcome is, but they

276
00:10:03,367 --> 00:10:05,433
won't tell really anybody else until they pronounce

277
00:10:05,433 --> 00:10:05,990
it. Yeah.

278
00:10:08,295 --> 00:10:09,351
It's an interesting

279
00:10:09,884 --> 00:10:10,282
process.

280
00:10:10,855 --> 00:10:13,035
Yeah. Yep. We think you just say

281
00:10:13,415 --> 00:10:15,175
you would tell everybody at the same time

282
00:10:15,175 --> 00:10:15,894
in a way. Yeah.

283
00:10:17,175 --> 00:10:19,335
Maybe they tell the applicant because they they

284
00:10:19,335 --> 00:10:21,268
really want the applicant to be there at

285
00:10:21,348 --> 00:10:22,945
Vegas so they give them as much time

286
00:10:22,945 --> 00:10:24,244
as possible to plan

287
00:10:24,783 --> 00:10:27,020
for the trade about a month. Yeah. I've

288
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:29,181
got it's a you had remember since we

289
00:10:29,181 --> 00:10:31,804
were told Mh. Yep. Oh. And we have...

290
00:10:31,962 --> 00:10:34,028
What is it... It's mid July right now.

291
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:37,091
So August, September, October. We've got 3

292
00:10:37,866 --> 00:10:39,618
months roughly to get ready for the Gala.

293
00:10:39,778 --> 00:10:41,052
So... Yeah. I don't know.

294
00:10:42,023 --> 00:10:44,330
I know. I've I've been super happy and

295
00:10:44,330 --> 00:10:46,580
getting got it the this all time. And

296
00:10:47,114 --> 00:10:49,358
now we get to finally tell everybody. They

297
00:10:49,358 --> 00:10:51,354
still claim that all the emails everybody sent

298
00:10:51,354 --> 00:10:52,791
in did not have an impact.

299
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:54,706
I don't believe it. I don't believe it

300
00:10:54,706 --> 00:10:57,021
either. I'd just... I can't I can't imagine

301
00:10:57,021 --> 00:10:59,767
that you could ignore that many people when

302
00:11:00,142 --> 00:11:02,528
you're you're having to reach out and say,

303
00:11:03,482 --> 00:11:04,596
stop the emails. Yeah.

304
00:11:06,518 --> 00:11:07,630
So Say actually,

305
00:11:08,265 --> 00:11:10,092
I sent an email in. Right? I got

306
00:11:10,092 --> 00:11:12,077
a response. Yeah. I got a polite response

307
00:11:12,077 --> 00:11:14,238
better than some other people responses. Yeah. Because

308
00:11:14,317 --> 00:11:15,191
I think I was 1 of the first

309
00:11:15,191 --> 00:11:17,496
ones to send an email in. Yeah. I

310
00:11:17,496 --> 00:11:20,699
also got... They've sent me an email in

311
00:11:20,755 --> 00:11:22,209
response to the my

312
00:11:22,599 --> 00:11:25,229
a submission? Oh, U. That said that he

313
00:11:25,229 --> 00:11:27,779

314
00:11:27,779 --> 00:11:29,931
everything. Oh, really? Yeah. That's cool.

315
00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:32,089
I'm wonder if everybody else did too. They

316
00:11:32,089 --> 00:11:33,676
got that same email. I don't know. Set

317
00:11:33,676 --> 00:11:35,580

318
00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:36,953
they went through

319
00:11:38,139 --> 00:11:38,459
everybody's,

320
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:41,019
you know, everybody has sent in an email

321
00:11:41,019 --> 00:11:43,339
in regards to Marlin, and then they've sent

322
00:11:43,339 --> 00:11:45,339
the same blanket email out to everybody. I'm

323
00:11:45,339 --> 00:11:46,955

328
00:11:56,326 --> 00:11:56,565

Okay. Reviews right now. That we gained a

387
00:14:10,904 --> 00:14:12,920
few more since the last time. Good. On

388
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,559
our way to 700. So, at every 50,

389
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,360
so we did us,

390
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,320
1 of these giveaways at 650, where we'll

391
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,080
do another 1 at 700

392
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:21,399
reviews.

393
00:14:22,210 --> 00:14:23,718
For a sag pack. So we got a

394
00:14:23,718 --> 00:14:26,043
a fun little, a package of swag

395
00:14:26,574 --> 00:14:29,767
for a lucky winner and an onyx Elite

396
00:14:29,767 --> 00:14:32,320
membership of 1 year membership for Onex Elite.

397
00:14:32,798 --> 00:14:34,952
So we've got that, once we get 700

398
00:14:34,952 --> 00:14:37,504
reviews, we'll do a drawing from all 700

399
00:14:37,504 --> 00:14:38,700
reviews that we have so far.

400
00:14:39,434 --> 00:14:41,355
And we'll let you guys know who the

401
00:14:41,355 --> 00:14:42,794
winner is, and then you have to prove

402
00:14:42,794 --> 00:14:44,955
that you have control of that account. So

403
00:14:45,115 --> 00:14:46,394
I'll let you know how to do that

404
00:14:46,394 --> 00:14:47,274
when the time comes.

405
00:14:48,007 --> 00:14:50,655
And then once we get to 750

406
00:14:50,791 --> 00:14:53,973
reviews, that's the next big benchmark. So I

407
00:14:53,973 --> 00:14:56,774
think we originally set out, we're, like, Yeah.

408
00:14:57,094 --> 00:14:58,053
Let's get to 500.

409
00:14:58,932 --> 00:15:01,409
That'll never happen. Right. Let's do some big

410
00:15:01,409 --> 00:15:03,806
fun prize, and that way, we never really

411
00:15:03,806 --> 00:15:04,925
have to do it We could just say

412
00:15:04,925 --> 00:15:06,538
we did it. What was our price? It

413
00:15:06,538 --> 00:15:08,536
was a win. A win. That's right. Yep.

414
00:15:08,696 --> 00:15:11,173
And so we got the 500 reviews. Somebody

415
00:15:11,173 --> 00:15:11,812
won a win.

416
00:15:12,451 --> 00:15:14,540
And then we're were, like, we're not gonna

417
00:15:14,540 --> 00:15:16,211
get to another amount.

418
00:15:16,768 --> 00:15:18,200
But who knows? We never thought we'd get

419
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,189
to 500. Let's just say 750. Let's go

420
00:15:20,189 --> 00:15:20,906
50 percent more.

421
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:24,200
And we're we're on the way there. So...

422
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:25,799

Yeah. Seriously. We need to get some 40

446
00:16:16,136 --> 00:16:17,970

00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:19,087
a lot of work to current. I think

448
00:16:19,087 --> 00:16:19,964
to fit 40 twos?

449
00:16:20,842 --> 00:16:21,081
No.

450
00:16:21,654 --> 00:16:22,052

00:26:23,859 --> 00:26:28,007
highlights of trails and and trail areas kind

720
00:26:28,007 --> 00:26:30,653
of thing if we we need more I

721
00:26:30,653 --> 00:26:32,959
talked about. So we've talked about the Rub,

722
00:26:33,596 --> 00:26:35,743
which was, there's a lot of highlights on

723
00:26:35,743 --> 00:26:37,309
the rub. A lot of cool things to

724
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:39,265
see and do while you're there. A lot

725
00:26:39,265 --> 00:26:40,942
of things that draws J and eye to

726
00:26:40,942 --> 00:26:41,341
that area.

727
00:26:42,059 --> 00:26:44,134
We talked about ford ice. Yep. Which still

728
00:26:44,134 --> 00:26:45,332
has a lot of stuff to do, a

729
00:26:45,332 --> 00:26:47,423
lot of stuff to see a rich gold

730
00:26:47,423 --> 00:26:49,980
mining history there, which we don't know a

731
00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:52,079
whole lot about, but we're working on

732
00:26:52,617 --> 00:26:53,837
getting a professional

733
00:26:54,296 --> 00:26:54,796
insider

734
00:26:55,668 --> 00:26:57,423
on the podcast. That knows a lot about

735
00:26:57,423 --> 00:26:59,598
the Gold mine history of 4 days. So

736
00:26:59,895 --> 00:27:01,411
keep your ears peeled for that.

737
00:27:02,288 --> 00:27:03,644
We talked a little bit about this a

738
00:27:03,644 --> 00:27:04,920
bunch of the other high Sierra trails,

739
00:27:05,810 --> 00:27:08,355
in the El dorado Stan Los, Tahoe National

740
00:27:08,514 --> 00:27:09,229
Forest areas.

741
00:27:09,865 --> 00:27:12,807
We've talked about Moa. Yeah. There's a lot

742
00:27:12,807 --> 00:27:14,318
a lot of really cool highlights in Moa.

743
00:27:15,049 --> 00:27:16,642
And now today, we're gonna talk a little

744
00:27:16,642 --> 00:27:17,700
bit about the Fresno

745
00:27:18,155 --> 00:27:18,633
area.

746
00:27:19,111 --> 00:27:22,218
Yes. Fred yes area. F yes. Fred yes.

747
00:27:22,377 --> 00:27:23,732
There's nothing yes about Fresno.

748
00:27:24,464 --> 00:27:26,378
Everything is know about Fresno. Stay away from

749
00:27:26,458 --> 00:27:29,989
Fresno. Just don't grow Fresno s. Fresh sc,

750
00:27:31,084 --> 00:27:32,360
South Yosemite. Yes.

751
00:27:33,158 --> 00:27:34,250
So, yeah. It's a.

752
00:27:35,007 --> 00:27:38,773
It's not? Yes. Yes. It's not. Fresno. Fresno

753
00:27:39,309 --> 00:27:39,809
is

754
00:27:40,186 --> 00:27:41,222
not. Yes.

755
00:27:42,193 --> 00:27:42,431
Okay.

756
00:27:44,182 --> 00:27:47,229
We're talking about Shaver lake. Yes. Yes. So

757
00:27:47,525 --> 00:27:48,798
there's a lot of really cool trails in

758
00:27:48,877 --> 00:27:51,367
Shaver lake, Shaver lake is AAA great

759
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:54,580
off road area in the Sierra National Forest

760
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,700
here in California.

761
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,259
That is kinda up outside of Fresno

762
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,700
outside Yosemite

763
00:28:00,252 --> 00:28:03,113
that same kind of environment area that you

764
00:28:03,113 --> 00:28:04,464
would get in yosemite,

765
00:28:04,941 --> 00:28:07,380
but it's a a really cool spot that's

766
00:28:07,818 --> 00:28:09,991
had a lot of work done by

767
00:28:10,606 --> 00:28:13,315
the clovis independent 4 wheelers. So you do

768
00:28:13,315 --> 00:28:15,466
a lot to help maintain the shaver lake

769
00:28:15,466 --> 00:28:16,741
area, a ton of the trails up there.

770
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:19,221
I know 4 by 4 him also does,

771
00:28:20,255 --> 00:28:21,925
a bunch of trail maintenance and projects up

772
00:28:21,925 --> 00:28:22,561
in that area.

773
00:28:23,118 --> 00:28:25,026
So there... And Sierra National Forest is

774
00:28:25,663 --> 00:28:26,640
has a really

775
00:28:27,426 --> 00:28:29,432
good relationship with the offer to clubs

776
00:28:29,805 --> 00:28:31,946
and kinda lets them manage and maintain a

777
00:28:31,946 --> 00:28:34,087
lot of these trails. So the main... The

778
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:34,587
trails

779
00:28:35,134 --> 00:28:37,775
our phenomenal trail system up in shaver lake,

780
00:28:38,335 --> 00:28:40,495
and it's a great in my opinion, it's

781
00:28:40,495 --> 00:28:42,095
a great way to set up a base

782
00:28:42,095 --> 00:28:42,335
camp.

783
00:28:42,989 --> 00:28:44,265
And why do you say that? Go and

784
00:28:44,265 --> 00:28:47,057
go run trails around shaver like? Oh, you

785
00:28:47,057 --> 00:28:49,051
mean, so to set up the base camp,

786
00:28:49,609 --> 00:28:51,763
and then you can run multiple trails from

787
00:28:51,763 --> 00:28:54,174
that base camp location. Yep. Got it. So

788
00:28:54,174 --> 00:28:57,055
there's an awesome spot called the sand flats.

789
00:28:57,855 --> 00:28:59,375
You don't need to throw stuff happening, Jimmy.

790
00:28:59,535 --> 00:28:59,855
What are you?

791
00:29:01,455 --> 00:29:01,695
It's

792
00:29:02,588 --> 00:29:04,900
Now, there's an awesome place called the sand

793
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:05,139
flats.

794
00:29:05,856 --> 00:29:07,450
So as you're going up the highway towards

795
00:29:07,450 --> 00:29:09,761
shaver towards Dink Creek up in that area.

796
00:29:10,333 --> 00:29:12,481
There is, a, turn off to the sand

797
00:29:12,481 --> 00:29:14,095
flights. And it's literally

798
00:29:14,867 --> 00:29:16,799
sand, like, just a bunch of sand

799
00:29:17,428 --> 00:29:19,497
Okay. As you're coming into this this area

800
00:29:19,497 --> 00:29:21,645
in the high Sierra that's typically Sierra are

801
00:29:21,645 --> 00:29:24,270
dominated by more granite. Right? Yes? Man it's

802
00:29:24,270 --> 00:29:26,021
just this loose sand that you'd almost, like

803
00:29:26,021 --> 00:29:28,340
beach sand. It's really impressive. And I have

804
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:29,612
no clue what it's doing there. I don't

805
00:29:29,612 --> 00:29:31,145
know enough about geology

806
00:29:31,758 --> 00:29:34,618
to explain why the sand flat area is

807
00:29:34,618 --> 00:29:34,857
there.

808
00:29:35,508 --> 00:29:36,885
But it's this giant

809
00:29:37,420 --> 00:29:39,571
area that you can camp in and is

810
00:29:39,571 --> 00:29:41,483
kind of the trail access point for a

811
00:29:41,483 --> 00:29:44,352
bunch of the trails around Red Mountain.

812
00:29:45,083 --> 00:29:47,307
And kind of the shaver like area. Alright.

813
00:29:47,704 --> 00:29:48,840
So is

814
00:29:49,373 --> 00:29:51,358
all I I've been in that area once.

815
00:29:51,756 --> 00:29:53,662
Okay. Right. Mh. And 1 of the things

816
00:29:53,821 --> 00:29:54,377
I remember.

817
00:29:55,189 --> 00:29:57,267
Is it Scott a 1 hell of a

818
00:29:57,267 --> 00:30:00,403
hill to get up there? Oh, the 4

819
00:30:00,862 --> 00:30:03,020
on the highway? Yeah. Yeah. Yep. It does.

820
00:30:03,433 --> 00:30:05,762
And so that's to get you up towards

821
00:30:05,898 --> 00:30:06,613
near sand

822
00:30:07,090 --> 00:30:09,077
sand flats. Sand flat. So, yeah, The the...

823
00:30:09,316 --> 00:30:11,224
That's called the 4 lane. Okay. It's 2

824
00:30:11,224 --> 00:30:13,789
lanes in either direction. Yes. And it is

825
00:30:13,789 --> 00:30:17,390
a steep climb. It's very steep. Very steep.

826
00:30:17,789 --> 00:30:19,630
There is a water station,

827
00:30:20,269 --> 00:30:20,829
part way up.

828
00:30:21,482 --> 00:30:23,708
And when I was growing up in in

829
00:30:23,708 --> 00:30:25,775
the off road club in that area,

830
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:28,797
we actually had the adopted highway,

831
00:30:29,368 --> 00:30:31,039
at the bottom of the 4 lane. Okay.

832
00:30:31,357 --> 00:30:33,425
So the first, I wanna say was a

833
00:30:33,425 --> 00:30:35,175
mile and a half, 2 miles, 3 miles

834
00:30:35,175 --> 00:30:35,891
of the 4 lane.

835
00:30:36,623 --> 00:30:38,777
We adopted that section of the highway. So

836
00:30:38,777 --> 00:30:40,372
we'd go out there once a year twice

837
00:30:40,372 --> 00:30:42,765
a year and walk along the bottom of

838
00:30:42,765 --> 00:30:44,679
the 4 lane picking up trash. Putting them

839
00:30:44,679 --> 00:30:46,929
all in garbage bags for. Cal transit to

840
00:30:46,929 --> 00:30:49,006
come by and pick up. So anyways, 4

841
00:30:49,006 --> 00:30:52,283
lane, very steep, very steep. 22 roe have

842
00:30:52,283 --> 00:30:53,721
trouble getting up there. You end up in

843
00:30:53,721 --> 00:30:54,680
4 low, halfway up.

844
00:30:56,371 --> 00:30:58,127
Yeah. Lo. Mu,

845
00:30:58,926 --> 00:31:01,321
toe rigs have difficulty getting up there. It's

846
00:31:01,321 --> 00:31:03,556
a very steep climb going up, and then

847
00:31:03,556 --> 00:31:06,517
it's it's can be scary coming down with

848
00:31:06,517 --> 00:31:07,790
toe rigs. If you do not have good

849
00:31:07,790 --> 00:31:10,359
breaks and good trailer breaks. It could be

850
00:31:10,495 --> 00:31:10,813
knuckle,

851
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:13,302
white knuckles coming down that show. So

852
00:31:13,852 --> 00:31:15,840
but that 4 lane pretty much goes up,

853
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:17,749
and then it kinda levels out goes through

854
00:31:17,749 --> 00:31:19,420
some windy roads you end up in Shaver

855
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:22,060
lake. K. And there's a town of shaver

856
00:31:22,060 --> 00:31:24,446
there with 1 gas station, I believe. Might

857
00:31:24,446 --> 00:31:26,435
be 2 gas stations now. Last time mile

858
00:31:26,435 --> 00:31:27,151
there is only 1.

859
00:31:27,963 --> 00:31:28,202
And,

860
00:31:28,921 --> 00:31:31,017
that's kinda your your fuel stop

861
00:31:31,713 --> 00:31:33,570
before you go wheel up in that area

862
00:31:33,868 --> 00:31:34,826
because there's no other gas.

863
00:31:35,479 --> 00:31:36,996
Yep. No other fuel in that area. If

864
00:31:36,996 --> 00:31:39,151
you're not bringing fuel with you, fill up

865
00:31:39,151 --> 00:31:39,790
in shaver.

866
00:31:40,348 --> 00:31:42,184
And then from there, shaver is kind of

867
00:31:42,184 --> 00:31:44,201
your access town to

868
00:31:44,514 --> 00:31:45,867
a bunch of off road trails up there.

869
00:31:46,106 --> 00:31:49,053
There's bald Mountain. There's all the sand flats

870
00:31:49,053 --> 00:31:50,406
and Red Mountain trails.

871
00:31:51,521 --> 00:31:53,526
You've got swamp lake kind of up in

872
00:31:53,526 --> 00:31:56,071
that area. You've got doo. Doo is up

873
00:31:56,071 --> 00:31:58,218
in that area, Du ocean. Okay. So there's

874
00:31:58,536 --> 00:32:01,082
these, really cool trails in that area.

875
00:32:01,732 --> 00:32:03,898
And in my opinion, the main

876
00:32:04,588 --> 00:32:05,088
draw

877
00:32:05,858 --> 00:32:06,834
to that area

878
00:32:07,207 --> 00:32:09,531
is just that it's it's so accessible.

879
00:32:10,078 --> 00:32:12,306
They've done a really good job at making

880
00:32:12,306 --> 00:32:13,760
all the trails accessible

881
00:32:14,294 --> 00:32:15,249
quickly and easily.

882
00:32:15,806 --> 00:32:18,073
So you can set up base camp somewhere

883
00:32:18,131 --> 00:32:19,726
and go out and do 2 trails in

884
00:32:19,726 --> 00:32:21,241
a day, come back to base camp camp,

885
00:32:21,401 --> 00:32:22,757
and then go out to another 2 trails

886
00:32:22,757 --> 00:32:24,852
next day and come back. And they're relatively

887
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:26,607
short trails. A lot of the ones

888
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:28,680
at least out of based out of Sand

889
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:28,920
flights.

890
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,559
So you've got quite a few. And they

891
00:32:31,559 --> 00:32:33,319
all pretty much what they all have common

892
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:35,400
is they end at these little tiny High

893
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:35,960
sierra lakes.

894
00:32:36,853 --> 00:32:39,008
Like kinda like barrett Lake, but less granite

895
00:32:39,008 --> 00:32:42,221
bowl like. Yes. Okay. So there's

896
00:32:43,317 --> 00:32:43,876
strawberry lake.

897
00:32:44,690 --> 00:32:45,250
Red Lake,

898
00:32:45,890 --> 00:32:46,450
Mer lake,

899
00:32:47,649 --> 00:32:49,730
West lake, Coyote Lake,

900
00:32:51,089 --> 00:32:51,730
swamp lake,

901
00:32:52,622 --> 00:32:54,612
there's all the... All these trails kinda go

902
00:32:54,612 --> 00:32:55,647
out to these high sierra lakes.

903
00:32:56,363 --> 00:32:58,830
And, they're phenomenal to go out and camp

904
00:32:58,830 --> 00:32:59,546
at as well.

905
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:03,160
In my opinion, the trails are all pretty

906
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:03,480
short.

907
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,680
If you're running 30 fives and your locked

908
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,320
front and rear,

909
00:33:08,133 --> 00:33:10,122
you're gonna be able to get to the

910
00:33:10,122 --> 00:33:10,622
lake

911
00:33:11,237 --> 00:33:13,465
pretty quickly that day. And if all you

912
00:33:13,465 --> 00:33:14,659
wanna do is get to a lake and

913
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:15,057
hang out.

914
00:33:15,867 --> 00:33:16,367
Then

915
00:33:17,061 --> 00:33:18,413
awesome. Then that... That's a great trip for

916
00:33:18,413 --> 00:33:20,084
you. Right? Sure. Yeah Do 1 short trail,

917
00:33:20,243 --> 00:33:21,596
get to a lake hang hang out, and

918
00:33:21,596 --> 00:33:22,494
you'll get there

919
00:33:23,044 --> 00:33:25,202
1 or 2PM maybe, and then hang out,

920
00:33:25,362 --> 00:33:26,640
have your lunch there and then have dinner

921
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,158
there camp and then leave the next day.

922
00:33:28,318 --> 00:33:29,996
You can have a late... Exit the next

923
00:33:29,996 --> 00:33:31,275
day and go back home. Right.

924
00:33:32,006 --> 00:33:34,709
It's also very close proximity to Fresno.

925
00:33:35,344 --> 00:33:37,490
So if you do kinda live down in

926
00:33:37,490 --> 00:33:37,990
the

927
00:33:38,603 --> 00:33:40,352
metropolitan area of Fresno,

928
00:33:40,924 --> 00:33:42,601
it's a quick ja up to shave relate.

929
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,037
Kinda like it is for us to go

930
00:33:44,037 --> 00:33:46,273
to Rub or Ford ice. Correct. Yep. So

931
00:33:46,273 --> 00:33:48,428
that's another really nice feature about it is

932
00:33:48,428 --> 00:33:49,966
that it's close to

933
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:51,657
a pretty big

934
00:33:52,194 --> 00:33:54,986
metropolitan area of California. Right. And that being

935
00:33:54,986 --> 00:33:56,502
said, if you do have problems and you

936
00:33:56,502 --> 00:33:59,868
break, you're not terribly far. Mh. From people

937
00:33:59,868 --> 00:34:02,661
that might have your solution. Exactly. Yep. And

938
00:34:02,661 --> 00:34:04,336
so, yeah, That's that's kind of the month.

939
00:34:04,416 --> 00:34:06,583
The main goal and highlight that I like

940
00:34:06,583 --> 00:34:08,996
about that area is just its accessibility is

941
00:34:09,134 --> 00:34:11,844
really well done. Okay. But there's some really

942
00:34:11,844 --> 00:34:12,663
fun trails

943
00:34:13,214 --> 00:34:15,768
And each trail is kind of unique.

944
00:34:16,407 --> 00:34:18,961
They all start kinda blending together a little

945
00:34:18,961 --> 00:34:21,696
bit when you're out there. But there's

946
00:34:22,089 --> 00:34:23,924
they're they're all very kinda narrow.

947
00:34:24,642 --> 00:34:27,057
Okay. Kinda like Barrett Lake Es

948
00:34:27,674 --> 00:34:29,531
runs trail runs where

949
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:32,541
they're just narrow. There's there's rocks you can't

950
00:34:32,541 --> 00:34:33,335
really go fast.

951
00:34:33,970 --> 00:34:35,478
They're not super difficult,

952
00:34:36,589 --> 00:34:38,121
but there's a couple of big obstacles.

953
00:34:38,668 --> 00:34:40,573
Kind of thing, and you end up this

954
00:34:40,573 --> 00:34:41,684
beautiful lake. Sure.

955
00:34:42,399 --> 00:34:42,955
And so,

956
00:34:43,670 --> 00:34:44,170
there's

957
00:34:45,178 --> 00:34:46,075
Red lake

958
00:34:46,384 --> 00:34:47,499
So... And a lot of them are, like,

959
00:34:47,659 --> 00:34:48,477
kinda of multiple

960
00:34:48,933 --> 00:34:49,889
trails in 1.

961
00:34:50,606 --> 00:34:52,358
So you go and then, like, to get

962
00:34:52,358 --> 00:34:54,828
to Coyote Lake, you have to go through

963
00:34:54,987 --> 00:34:57,465
Red Lake. Okay. So you ended up going...

964
00:34:57,623 --> 00:34:59,051
You're like, I'm gonna go out to Coyote

965
00:34:59,051 --> 00:35:00,242
and you end up doing Red Lake and

966
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,066
Coyote Lake. Yeah. And insane. Right?

967
00:35:02,860 --> 00:35:04,545
If you wanna go to West Lake, you

968
00:35:04,545 --> 00:35:06,465
can stop off on your way. I believe

969
00:35:06,465 --> 00:35:07,425
it's to red Lake.

970
00:35:08,385 --> 00:35:09,824
You can stop off and kinda take a

971
00:35:09,824 --> 00:35:12,144
little short d tour over to West lake.

972
00:35:12,545 --> 00:35:14,875
Okay. So there's a there's some, really cool

973
00:35:14,875 --> 00:35:16,869
stuff of fun trails. They're kinda like, I

974
00:35:16,949 --> 00:35:19,024
I call them Creek runs. There's no real

975
00:35:19,024 --> 00:35:20,380
creek here there, but it's like,

976
00:35:21,273 --> 00:35:22,787
you equate some of water rafting. Right? You've

977
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:23,345
got rivers,

978
00:35:23,823 --> 00:35:25,735
and you've got streams you've got creek. And

979
00:35:25,735 --> 00:35:27,568
the trails are more like creek because they're

980
00:35:27,568 --> 00:35:28,467
just these tiny

981
00:35:29,255 --> 00:35:31,001
narrow trails. You just can't go fast on.

982
00:35:31,318 --> 00:35:33,938
Okay. But they're they're usually in shade. The

983
00:35:33,938 --> 00:35:35,525
whole time you got pretty good tray, a

984
00:35:35,525 --> 00:35:35,922
tree cover.

985
00:35:36,893 --> 00:35:38,727
So I was gonna say that's 1 of

986
00:35:38,727 --> 00:35:40,242
the things I remember was it was... I

987
00:35:40,242 --> 00:35:42,316
was always deep in the forest. Mh. Like,

988
00:35:42,476 --> 00:35:45,108
you're always... There's trees all around g that

989
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:45,985
never really get, like,

990
00:35:46,717 --> 00:35:47,615
any massive

991
00:35:47,992 --> 00:35:50,460
spectacular views because you're deep inside the woods.

992
00:35:50,699 --> 00:35:53,487
Yeah. And it's a narrow trail between trees,

993
00:35:53,726 --> 00:35:54,681
rocky. Mh.

994
00:35:55,333 --> 00:35:56,923
What was the, not Coyote.

995
00:35:57,639 --> 00:36:00,501
Red light? Nope. There was another 1. Mirror?

996
00:36:01,137 --> 00:36:02,567
Next. Strawberry? Next.

997
00:36:03,218 --> 00:36:05,600
West. Ex Fred. Oh, Coyote.

998
00:36:06,155 --> 00:36:08,220
We already went through that that I I

999
00:36:08,220 --> 00:36:10,046
can't remember the 1 that I went on.

1000
00:36:10,443 --> 00:36:11,871
U, the trailer.

1001
00:36:12,521 --> 00:36:14,661
Brewer lake? Nope. Bruce is another 1. You

1002
00:36:14,661 --> 00:36:16,879
see. You set it at the beginning. It's

1003
00:36:16,879 --> 00:36:18,701
not swamp lake. There's no swamp lake there.

1004
00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:21,347
Right? There's a swamp lake. So why I

1005
00:36:21,347 --> 00:36:23,744
was probably swamp lake. I think okay. I

1006
00:36:23,744 --> 00:36:25,662
did it with the slow county Crawl. Okay.

1007
00:36:25,981 --> 00:36:28,629
Way back in the day. Mh. And I

1008
00:36:28,629 --> 00:36:30,721
remember it being a fairly easy trail

1009
00:36:31,096 --> 00:36:33,881
with 1 obstacle. 1 area like, a 1

1010
00:36:33,881 --> 00:36:36,768
rock garden obstacle in the middle. Yeah. And

1011
00:36:37,396 --> 00:36:39,618
but you are deep inside the forest. There's...

1012
00:36:39,856 --> 00:36:41,705
It's gorgeous area

1013
00:36:42,078 --> 00:36:44,221
where... That you can see. And then you

1014
00:36:44,221 --> 00:36:46,380
did end up at a lake and we

1015
00:36:46,380 --> 00:36:47,972
just hung out at the lake and relax

1016
00:36:47,972 --> 00:36:48,472
and

1017
00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:51,234
just tilt the whole entire time around the

1018
00:36:51,234 --> 00:36:54,019
lake. And that's... It sounds identical to everything

1019
00:36:54,019 --> 00:36:56,185
you're describing. Yeah. And that's kind of the

1020
00:36:56,185 --> 00:36:59,214
the main story of this whole area. Mh.

1021
00:36:59,454 --> 00:37:01,447
Is that no matter what trail you're going

1022
00:37:01,447 --> 00:37:03,280
to, You're gonna get that similar experience.

1023
00:37:03,775 --> 00:37:03,934
Right?

1024
00:37:04,815 --> 00:37:07,375
Now the trails are a little different. They

1025
00:37:07,375 --> 00:37:07,875
have

1026
00:37:08,575 --> 00:37:09,875
some different

1027
00:37:10,655 --> 00:37:11,695
features along the way.

1028
00:37:12,268 --> 00:37:15,305
Like strawberry lake is definitely that creek run

1029
00:37:15,518 --> 00:37:18,293
or it is really tight windy narrow tight

1030
00:37:18,293 --> 00:37:19,665
turns and just,

1031
00:37:20,133 --> 00:37:23,242
bowling ball sized rocks everywhere. Okay? Yeah. You

1032
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:24,996
just can't go fast. There's a couple of

1033
00:37:24,996 --> 00:37:27,546
little to go up, but you end at

1034
00:37:27,546 --> 00:37:29,555
this just gorgeous place to hang out and

1035
00:37:29,555 --> 00:37:31,788
have lunch for the afternoon or camp for

1036
00:37:31,788 --> 00:37:32,346
the evening.

1037
00:37:32,984 --> 00:37:35,695
The big 1 that, is probably my favorite

1038
00:37:35,695 --> 00:37:37,050
trail down there is Mir lake.

1039
00:37:38,104 --> 00:37:39,323
Mir lake is

1040
00:37:39,702 --> 00:37:40,681
it's it's

1041
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:43,697
very well guarded by a lot of trees,

1042
00:37:43,937 --> 00:37:45,296
and so it's not a whole lot of

1043
00:37:45,296 --> 00:37:47,862
wind typically. That gets down to Mirror lake.

1044
00:37:48,419 --> 00:37:50,510
So it it it has a nice

1045
00:37:51,045 --> 00:37:52,954
mirror reflection on it, like, all the time.

1046
00:37:53,193 --> 00:37:55,182
It's pretty cool. Yeah. But the trail out

1047
00:37:55,182 --> 00:37:57,368
there, has 1 of the hardest obstacles

1048
00:37:57,982 --> 00:38:00,551
in that area, and it's the hill

1049
00:38:01,244 --> 00:38:02,836
on at mirror lake. Okay.

1050
00:38:03,644 --> 00:38:05,863
And I would put it kinda equate it

1051
00:38:05,863 --> 00:38:08,081
to the gauntlet. At slick rock. Oh, wow.

1052
00:38:08,478 --> 00:38:10,870
Okay. So the bottom of it Yeah. The

1053
00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:12,617
bottom of it is just kind of this

1054
00:38:12,617 --> 00:38:14,307
loosen and it has it has a turn

1055
00:38:14,601 --> 00:38:16,902
mid trail, 90 degree turn. Yeah. Just like

1056
00:38:16,902 --> 00:38:17,696
a gauntlet. Yeah.

1057
00:38:18,347 --> 00:38:20,337
That's just a loose dirt, and there's a

1058
00:38:20,337 --> 00:38:23,122
couple of rocks that are either a really

1059
00:38:23,122 --> 00:38:24,873
really big dip catcher or if you try

1060
00:38:24,873 --> 00:38:26,465
and go up on, you're gonna roll the

1061
00:38:26,465 --> 00:38:26,862
vehicle.

1062
00:38:27,753 --> 00:38:28,150
And then,

1063
00:38:28,786 --> 00:38:31,513
there's a really tight exit at the bottom

1064
00:38:31,649 --> 00:38:34,829
of the hill. That's between a room sized

1065
00:38:34,829 --> 00:38:36,181
to boulder about the size of this room

1066
00:38:36,181 --> 00:38:39,215
we're recording in. And a big tree. So

1067
00:38:39,215 --> 00:38:41,438
you just... It's a tight narrow squeeze with

1068
00:38:41,438 --> 00:38:43,583
a ledge, and you just have to be

1069
00:38:43,583 --> 00:38:44,775
really careful as you go down it because

1070
00:38:44,775 --> 00:38:46,619
as you could If you don't drop off

1071
00:38:46,619 --> 00:38:49,166
at the same time. Yeah. You're gonna go

1072
00:38:49,166 --> 00:38:50,837
into the rocker into the tree. 1 another.

1073
00:38:51,235 --> 00:38:53,636
Okay. So mirror is a it's it's a

1074
00:38:53,636 --> 00:38:55,699
really fun obstacle to big obstacle the hill

1075
00:38:55,699 --> 00:38:58,477
at Mir lake. But the ending is a

1076
00:38:58,477 --> 00:39:00,699
a great high sierra Like, just like all

1077
00:39:00,699 --> 00:39:01,651
these lakes up there. Sure.

1078
00:39:02,383 --> 00:39:03,739
To this camp out or hang out up

1079
00:39:03,739 --> 00:39:06,211
for the day. But I would say probably

1080
00:39:06,211 --> 00:39:10,119
the most common and most well known trail

1081
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:12,447
out in that area is Bald Mountain. For

1082
00:39:12,447 --> 00:39:13,163
certain. Yes.

1083
00:39:14,278 --> 00:39:16,268
Yeah. Bald Mountain is a really cool trail

1084
00:39:16,268 --> 00:39:16,667
system,

1085
00:39:17,224 --> 00:39:19,295
mainly because there's a lot of different ways

1086
00:39:19,295 --> 00:39:19,851
to do it.

1087
00:39:20,902 --> 00:39:23,133
And you access it. You can access it

1088
00:39:23,133 --> 00:39:23,633
through

1089
00:39:24,009 --> 00:39:25,523
a lot of different ways. There's... It's a

1090
00:39:25,523 --> 00:39:27,355
big loop around Bald Mountain,

1091
00:39:27,913 --> 00:39:29,688
and I wanna say there's 3

1092
00:39:30,317 --> 00:39:32,067
entrance points to the trail to this big

1093
00:39:32,067 --> 00:39:34,215
loop. And 1 of the entrances is through

1094
00:39:34,215 --> 00:39:35,806
the sand flats area. Mh.

1095
00:39:36,442 --> 00:39:38,112
There's another entrance through the Dink Creek.

1096
00:39:38,842 --> 00:39:40,987
Side of things. And I want says another

1097
00:39:40,987 --> 00:39:42,338
entrance on the north side, I don't.

1098
00:39:43,053 --> 00:39:44,722
I have not been through that entrance in

1099
00:39:44,722 --> 00:39:46,641
my adult life. But the cool thing about

1100
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,652
Bald Mountain is a, there's a lot lot

1101
00:39:49,652 --> 00:39:50,683
of different ways to it. So a lot

1102
00:39:50,683 --> 00:39:51,634
of different routes, So you can get a

1103
00:39:51,634 --> 00:39:52,610
lot of different difficulties.

1104
00:39:53,394 --> 00:39:54,833
For going in there. You can have full

1105
00:39:54,833 --> 00:39:57,070
on bug and have a fun time getting

1106
00:39:57,070 --> 00:39:59,808
up to the top, or there has been

1107
00:40:00,746 --> 00:40:01,965
super stock

1108
00:40:02,678 --> 00:40:03,792
like, your high geared,

1109
00:40:04,508 --> 00:40:05,622
stock 4 by fours. So they can get

1110
00:40:05,622 --> 00:40:08,407
up there for landers. Over overland. I wasn't

1111
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:10,173
gonna go there, Jimmy. I did it. You

1112
00:40:10,173 --> 00:40:11,210
can send all your hate mail to Jimmy.

1113
00:40:11,370 --> 00:40:12,487
At trail 4 by 4 dot com.

1114
00:40:14,401 --> 00:40:16,873
Bring in. Yeah. But what's really cool about

1115
00:40:16,873 --> 00:40:17,751
bald Mountain is,

1116
00:40:18,389 --> 00:40:19,426
you get up to the top.

1117
00:40:20,157 --> 00:40:21,451
And it has a

1118
00:40:22,539 --> 00:40:23,039
spectacular

1119
00:40:23,730 --> 00:40:25,182
360

1120
00:40:25,238 --> 00:40:28,335
degree view of the entire area up there.

1121
00:40:28,573 --> 00:40:30,760
Yeah. This is 1 of the few places

1122
00:40:30,818 --> 00:40:33,689
in the shape or lake area that actually

1123
00:40:33,689 --> 00:40:35,842
has a great view. Yes. And I mean,

1124
00:40:35,921 --> 00:40:36,421
it's

1125
00:40:36,878 --> 00:40:39,530
it's primarily called bald mountain because it's just

1126
00:40:39,530 --> 00:40:40,349
a giant

1127
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:43,130
granite dome for the most part. Yeah. And

1128
00:40:43,130 --> 00:40:46,904
then you're dry Bend head. Yeah. Exactly. And

1129
00:40:46,904 --> 00:40:48,979
you're driving to the top of his head

1130
00:40:49,298 --> 00:40:52,251
To get this spectacular view. Yep. I mean,

1131
00:40:52,331 --> 00:40:54,087
to the top of the dome. Yeah. Yeah.

1132
00:40:54,247 --> 00:40:54,965
Yep. Exactly.

1133
00:40:55,699 --> 00:40:57,380
And there's a fire lookout up top. Yep.

1134
00:40:57,699 --> 00:40:59,619
That gets maintained by a lot of the

1135
00:40:59,619 --> 00:41:00,579
off road nowadays.

1136
00:41:01,139 --> 00:41:02,900
And so it's it's cool. You get to

1137
00:41:02,900 --> 00:41:05,234
climb this tower. Up on top of Ben's

1138
00:41:05,234 --> 00:41:05,734
head

1139
00:41:06,114 --> 00:41:06,614
and

1140
00:41:06,994 --> 00:41:08,755
get this really cool look out of everything.

1141
00:41:08,914 --> 00:41:09,155
So,

1142
00:41:10,275 --> 00:41:13,007
pretty sweet Bald Mountain is definitely like, if

1143
00:41:13,007 --> 00:41:13,827
you have

1144
00:41:14,685 --> 00:41:16,842
1 trail to do while you're down there.

1145
00:41:17,003 --> 00:41:18,041
You're just there for the day or something.

1146
00:41:18,281 --> 00:41:20,452
Go check out bald mountain. Okay. It's it's

1147
00:41:20,452 --> 00:41:22,547
an awesome trail. It would be kind of

1148
00:41:22,766 --> 00:41:24,361
my top choice for somebody new to the

1149
00:41:24,361 --> 00:41:25,239
area. Sure.

1150
00:41:25,877 --> 00:41:26,377
And

1151
00:41:27,088 --> 00:41:30,347
So that swamp lake is another great trail

1152
00:41:30,347 --> 00:41:30,744
down there.

1153
00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:34,162
Red and Coyote is another great trail. So

1154
00:41:34,242 --> 00:41:36,324
Red Lake and Coyote Lake. Red lake has

1155
00:41:36,324 --> 00:41:37,440
a couple of really fun...

1156
00:41:38,318 --> 00:41:39,992
Almost... I equate it to kinda like big

1157
00:41:39,992 --> 00:41:42,066
s before the tree fell down. Okay. Some

1158
00:41:42,066 --> 00:41:45,335
really tight squeeze rock scenarios pinch points. Yep.

1159
00:41:45,909 --> 00:41:47,429
I have not been to Coyote lake yet.

1160
00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:49,269
Oh, I've been to Red Lake a couple

1161
00:41:49,269 --> 00:41:50,789
of times, but never been to Coyote.

1162
00:41:51,429 --> 00:41:53,600
Okay. So I I would like too. At

1163
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,031
some point, I wanna go back down there

1164
00:41:55,031 --> 00:41:57,415
and to spend like, a week, doing all

1165
00:41:57,415 --> 00:41:59,322
these trails in my adult life. With the

1166
00:41:59,322 --> 00:42:00,753
fore runner. Right? Because all these trails I

1167
00:42:00,753 --> 00:42:01,547
kinda grew up on.

1168
00:42:02,198 --> 00:42:04,425
And we did a lot. A lot of

1169
00:42:04,425 --> 00:42:06,413
snow runs to Bald Mountain when I was

1170
00:42:06,413 --> 00:42:08,560
younger. And so that is what, like, a

1171
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,548
lot of my childhood, my memories are is

1172
00:42:10,548 --> 00:42:11,343
going to Bald Mountain.

1173
00:42:12,313 --> 00:42:13,429
For snow runs and then,

1174
00:42:14,385 --> 00:42:17,334
summer just afternoon picnic trips kind of thing.

1175
00:42:17,573 --> 00:42:19,587
Sure. And so, yeah, There's

1176
00:42:20,058 --> 00:42:21,514
It's a it's a really cool

1177
00:42:21,970 --> 00:42:23,882
spot bald Mountain and Swamp lake. I still

1178
00:42:23,882 --> 00:42:25,316
don't... I haven't been to swamp lake in

1179
00:42:25,316 --> 00:42:27,956
my adult life either. Now. Yeah Yeah. I

1180
00:42:27,956 --> 00:42:29,702
had a fantastic time there. But like I

1181
00:42:29,702 --> 00:42:32,242
said earlier, I mean, all I really remember

1182
00:42:32,242 --> 00:42:34,067
is it was a fairly easy trail with

1183
00:42:34,067 --> 00:42:36,232
1 Rock garden and obstacle in the middle.

1184
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,449
Mh. And

1185
00:42:37,826 --> 00:42:39,817
I don't... And I didn't even take the

1186
00:42:39,817 --> 00:42:40,556
hard line

1187
00:42:41,012 --> 00:42:42,844
then, but I think I could I think

1188
00:42:42,924 --> 00:42:45,253
Bob cat could do the hard line. At

1189
00:42:45,253 --> 00:42:47,251
least in... From my memory,

1190
00:42:47,730 --> 00:42:48,449
of what it is.

1191
00:42:49,328 --> 00:42:51,086
I know Bob kat could do the hard

1192
00:42:51,086 --> 00:42:52,045
line now. Yeah.

1193
00:42:52,778 --> 00:42:55,400
If it's still the same. Yeah. But it's

1194
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,387
not. Obviously, So I have no idea what

1195
00:42:57,387 --> 00:42:58,897
it looks like at the moment. So... Yeah.

1196
00:42:59,532 --> 00:43:01,539
But It was a fun trip when we

1197
00:43:01,539 --> 00:43:04,408
did it, and I don't remember anything that

1198
00:43:04,408 --> 00:43:05,284
really stood out,

1199
00:43:06,081 --> 00:43:07,675
except that, you know, you get to a

1200
00:43:07,675 --> 00:43:09,045
fantastic to lake. And I think all, you

1201
00:43:09,045 --> 00:43:11,115
know, a lot of people's points of going

1202
00:43:11,115 --> 00:43:12,651
off road or getting out

1203
00:43:13,027 --> 00:43:13,527
is

1204
00:43:13,903 --> 00:43:15,338
1 of the things that you look for

1205
00:43:15,338 --> 00:43:17,503
is to end at a water source. Yeah.

1206
00:43:17,742 --> 00:43:19,730
And a lot of the trails in this

1207
00:43:19,730 --> 00:43:22,115
general area, do that. They complete that. You're

1208
00:43:22,115 --> 00:43:24,421
either you're ending at a lake of some

1209
00:43:24,421 --> 00:43:26,250
sort, except for Bald Mountain. You end at

1210
00:43:26,250 --> 00:43:29,387
the lookout tower. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's definitely

1211
00:43:29,522 --> 00:43:31,531
an interesting area, high

1212
00:43:32,142 --> 00:43:32,380
elevation,

1213
00:43:33,333 --> 00:43:35,715
for the roughly high elevation in the Sierra,

1214
00:43:35,875 --> 00:43:39,184
you know, you're centered in a redwood forest

1215
00:43:39,565 --> 00:43:41,484
stuff, of pine trees and some oak trees

1216
00:43:41,484 --> 00:43:42,224
mixed in

1217
00:43:42,684 --> 00:43:44,684
gets hot there in the summer though, so

1218
00:43:44,684 --> 00:43:46,294
get ready you're gonna go down there in

1219
00:43:46,294 --> 00:43:48,282
the middle of summer. You know, yeah, You're

1220
00:43:48,282 --> 00:43:50,930
up in elevation, but you're still that entire

1221
00:43:51,067 --> 00:43:53,532
central Valley gets very, very hot. So very

1222
00:43:53,532 --> 00:43:53,612
hot.

1223
00:43:54,342 --> 00:43:56,563
Be conscientious of that and bring lots of

1224
00:43:56,563 --> 00:43:59,261
water. Yeah. It always blows me away at

1225
00:43:59,261 --> 00:44:00,213
the elevation up there.

1226
00:44:00,927 --> 00:44:03,248
Because here where where you and I typically

1227
00:44:03,248 --> 00:44:05,476
go wheel, Rub Ford Barrett Lake up in

1228
00:44:05,476 --> 00:44:06,589
the El Dorado National Forest.

1229
00:44:07,464 --> 00:44:08,282
We're average

1230
00:44:08,674 --> 00:44:10,032
12500

1231
00:44:10,032 --> 00:44:11,231
feet. Right. Elevation.

1232
00:44:12,030 --> 00:44:12,909
Sand flats.

1233
00:44:13,708 --> 00:44:13,868
Okay.

1234
00:44:14,667 --> 00:44:15,706
8800

1235
00:44:15,706 --> 00:44:16,186
feet. Yeah.

1236
00:44:16,905 --> 00:44:19,634
Elevation. So I mean, it's it's another 1500

1237
00:44:19,634 --> 00:44:21,710
feet up from where we are 2000 feet

1238
00:44:21,710 --> 00:44:23,545
up from where what we're used to. Yes.

1239
00:44:24,025 --> 00:44:25,701
And that's a sand flat. So at the

1240
00:44:25,701 --> 00:44:27,412
top of bald mountain?

1241
00:44:27,949 --> 00:44:30,262
Okay. Let's see. What is the top of

1242
00:44:30,262 --> 00:44:30,741
bald?

1243
00:44:31,458 --> 00:44:33,532
How are you doing all this research right

1244
00:44:33,532 --> 00:44:35,766
now? Onyx. On x. Yep.

1245
00:44:36,980 --> 00:44:39,239
I can't find Bald. I'd had it labeled

1246
00:44:39,299 --> 00:44:41,699
here. Go. Let's see who wins. There we

1247
00:44:41,699 --> 00:44:42,659
go. S k.

1248
00:44:43,394 --> 00:44:45,647
In Fresno County, there are 4

1249
00:44:46,262 --> 00:44:47,617
a bald mountain.

1250
00:44:49,927 --> 00:44:50,166
Yeah.

1251
00:44:50,898 --> 00:44:52,803
Then it gives coordinates. So there it is.

1252
00:44:53,677 --> 00:44:56,932
A bald mountain at 70 or 37 degrees

1253
00:44:56,932 --> 00:44:58,203
by a hundred and 19 degrees.

1254
00:44:58,934 --> 00:44:59,434
Rises,

1255
00:44:59,893 --> 00:45:03,489
this 1 says 7838

1256
00:45:03,489 --> 00:45:05,647
feet. That's what I have here. Okay. Yeah.

1257
00:45:05,887 --> 00:45:07,165
So down a little bit from the sand

1258
00:45:07,165 --> 00:45:09,734
flats area. Which is impressive that sand flats

1259
00:45:09,734 --> 00:45:11,648
is a higher elevation than the top of

1260
00:45:11,807 --> 00:45:12,685
Bald Mountain. Right?

1261
00:45:13,642 --> 00:45:16,195
Yeah. Your base camp is a higher elevation

1262
00:45:16,195 --> 00:45:18,282
than the top of Bald Mountain. Yeah. So

1263
00:45:18,282 --> 00:45:20,507
yeah. There's a there's a a couple of,

1264
00:45:21,302 --> 00:45:22,416
fun places there,

1265
00:45:22,972 --> 00:45:25,436
Dea Creek there's a great camping area.

1266
00:45:26,168 --> 00:45:28,242
There's a a couple of really good camper,

1267
00:45:28,401 --> 00:45:30,475
a camp being areas up at the... Some

1268
00:45:30,475 --> 00:45:32,150
of the reservoirs, like Court reservoir.

1269
00:45:32,629 --> 00:45:34,485
There's I wanna say it's Jefferson

1270
00:45:34,942 --> 00:45:35,340
Pass.

1271
00:45:35,993 --> 00:45:37,210
Up through there. Jefferson

1272
00:45:37,585 --> 00:45:38,700
rode up through the past.

1273
00:45:39,337 --> 00:45:40,713
That goes up It's a

1274
00:45:42,362 --> 00:45:43,658
interesting place Jackass

1275
00:45:44,289 --> 00:45:46,846
Meadow Campground. Okay. Is a place that I've

1276
00:45:46,846 --> 00:45:49,083
been to before out at Florence Lake. Is

1277
00:45:49,083 --> 00:45:50,761
that where the 559

1278
00:45:50,841 --> 00:45:51,480
Wheelers live?

1279
00:45:52,213 --> 00:45:52,848
Probably. Yep.

1280
00:45:54,517 --> 00:45:54,994
Shots fired.

1281
00:45:55,869 --> 00:45:56,369
There's

1282
00:45:57,537 --> 00:45:58,037
the

1283
00:45:58,809 --> 00:46:00,239
is that that John your trail that goes

1284
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:00,557
through there?

1285
00:46:01,208 --> 00:46:03,838
Yeah. Probably. Yeah. That's right that's this right

1286
00:46:03,838 --> 00:46:05,351
area Ct. Yeah.

1287
00:46:06,148 --> 00:46:08,219
Mono Creek Campground, Mono Hot Springs,

1288
00:46:08,936 --> 00:46:10,291
up at Lake Thomas Edison.

1289
00:46:10,863 --> 00:46:13,170
Okay. So, yeah, The Road I was thinking

1290
00:46:13,170 --> 00:46:14,999
of is this road here,

1291
00:46:15,954 --> 00:46:17,067
Kaiser. Kaiser Pass.

1292
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:18,513
That's what I was thinking of.

1293
00:46:19,386 --> 00:46:21,292
Kaiser passes a fun road to drive. It's

1294
00:46:21,610 --> 00:46:22,801
it's a paved the road, but it's like

1295
00:46:22,801 --> 00:46:23,277
a 1 lane,

1296
00:46:23,992 --> 00:46:25,913
and the road is all beat up. And

1297
00:46:25,913 --> 00:46:27,526
it goes out to some really

1298
00:46:28,378 --> 00:46:31,877
amazing 2 lakes with some great camping, and

1299
00:46:31,877 --> 00:46:33,865
that's the Florence Lake and Thomas Edison lake.

1300
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,559
Okay. And so there's Jackass Meadow campground, Mono

1301
00:46:37,559 --> 00:46:40,280
hot Springs up there, Mono Creek campground, like

1302
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:41,659
Thomas Edison Campground,

1303
00:46:42,294 --> 00:46:44,766
Yeah. So, yeah. What would you say, like,

1304
00:46:45,005 --> 00:46:47,795
minimum vehicle requirements first most of these trails

1305
00:46:47,795 --> 00:46:48,752
would be on average.

1306
00:46:49,630 --> 00:46:50,746
I did them all in my Tacoma.

1307
00:46:51,478 --> 00:46:53,229
Well, I did... I did not do mirror

1308
00:46:53,229 --> 00:46:55,219
in my tacoma, but I did Red Lake

1309
00:46:55,219 --> 00:46:57,447
in my Tacoma. I think that was the

1310
00:46:57,447 --> 00:47:00,014
limit of the Tacoma. And that was on

1311
00:47:00,014 --> 00:47:02,275
30 threes and no lockers

1312
00:47:02,894 --> 00:47:05,135
and long. And long had a hundred 43

1313
00:47:05,135 --> 00:47:06,494
inch wheel base hundred and 48 inch something

1314
00:47:06,494 --> 00:47:06,815
like that.

1315
00:47:07,628 --> 00:47:09,543
So you don't need a lot to do

1316
00:47:09,543 --> 00:47:12,097
these trails. That's another kind of really nice

1317
00:47:12,097 --> 00:47:13,932
thing about them, and they're not so much

1318
00:47:13,932 --> 00:47:16,585
about the wheel. Yeah. It's more about getting

1319
00:47:16,585 --> 00:47:18,985
out to these high Sierra lakes. Okay. And

1320
00:47:18,985 --> 00:47:21,065
creating a little bit obstacles there. So we're

1321
00:47:21,065 --> 00:47:23,625
not getting subaru out there. Right? Yeah. I

1322
00:47:23,625 --> 00:47:24,264
think is the goal.

1323
00:47:25,155 --> 00:47:27,063
Okay. I like But you don't need a

1324
00:47:27,063 --> 00:47:28,336
whole lot to get out to these places.

1325
00:47:28,733 --> 00:47:30,244
30 threes is in a short wheel base,

1326
00:47:30,483 --> 00:47:32,074
like a Tj or a cj or something

1327
00:47:32,074 --> 00:47:32,391
like that.

1328
00:47:33,363 --> 00:47:35,836
Or first gen 4 runner, and a rear

1329
00:47:35,836 --> 00:47:37,134
locker will get you

1330
00:47:37,831 --> 00:47:39,905
pretty much 99 percent of the places out

1331
00:47:39,905 --> 00:47:42,701
here, Cool. Now they get easier. Obviously, the

1332
00:47:42,701 --> 00:47:44,765
more gear you are. The mirror lake, I

1333
00:47:44,765 --> 00:47:46,592
would say you definitely want lockers front and

1334
00:47:46,592 --> 00:47:47,783
rear and maybe 30 fives.

1335
00:47:48,434 --> 00:47:50,991
Sure. But yeah you don't need a lot

1336
00:47:50,991 --> 00:47:52,669
to get out to these trails. Okay. So...

1337
00:47:53,228 --> 00:47:53,468
Yeah.

1338
00:47:54,507 --> 00:47:56,757
Another couple of fun trails in that area

1339
00:47:56,757 --> 00:47:57,813
that are of noteworthy

1340
00:47:59,064 --> 00:47:59,564
note,

1341
00:48:00,098 --> 00:48:00,576
noteworthy is.

1342
00:48:01,371 --> 00:48:02,405
Du? Yes.

1343
00:48:03,042 --> 00:48:04,967
On that the the high elevation 1. That

1344
00:48:04,967 --> 00:48:07,036
1 gets up to 12000 feet I believe.

1345
00:48:07,355 --> 00:48:09,423
Wow. 10000. I think it's 10000.

1346
00:48:10,060 --> 00:48:11,493
Maybe it is... I don't, 10 or 12000

1347
00:48:11,493 --> 00:48:12,686
feet. Somebody right in and let us know.

1348
00:48:12,846 --> 00:48:14,378
Matt Matt will call in. Let us know.

1349
00:48:15,416 --> 00:48:17,254
Matt actually does work every year to open

1350
00:48:17,254 --> 00:48:19,032

1351
00:48:19,411 --> 00:48:21,841

1352
00:48:21,897 --> 00:48:24,439
and and some statistics about it. Doo z

happening

1370
00:48:59,703 --> 00:49:01,534
I think during that point in time. Though

1371
00:49:01,534 --> 00:49:02,171
they're not, like,

1372
00:49:02,807 --> 00:49:05,195

00:49:18,131 --> 00:49:18,610
going to that.

1380
00:49:19,422 --> 00:49:21,809
Alright. Figure that, you know, hopefully, well, I

1381
00:49:21,809 --> 00:49:23,718
was gonna say, you know, weddings only happen

1382
00:49:23,718 --> 00:49:26,599
once, and Doo will be around for years,

1383
00:49:26,839 --> 00:49:27,159

00:49:27,639 --> 00:49:30,440
this is a second wedding. So... Y'all same

1385
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:30,599

Yeah. That's cool. That'll be a fun trip

1389
00:49:38,036 --> 00:49:40,658
though. Yeah. Yeah. So, we'll, I'll have to

1390
00:49:40,658 --> 00:49:42,088

00:49:42,088 --> 00:49:44,567
be leaving on a Tuesday. Okay. Yeah. Well,

1392
00:49:44,806 --> 00:49:46,160
I really wanna get up into Doo at

1393
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,674
some point. And I think what I need

1394
00:49:47,674 --> 00:49:49,745
to do is just plan a week where

1395
00:49:49,904 --> 00:49:50,621
I can go down.

1396
00:49:51,194 --> 00:49:52,391
And do a bunch of these trails that

1397
00:49:52,471 --> 00:49:54,226
I really wanna do. Haven't done News takes

1398
00:49:54,226 --> 00:49:56,700
a week. It takes it takes 3 to

1399
00:49:56,700 --> 00:49:59,347
4 days. Yeah. By itself. I hear give

1400
00:49:59,347 --> 00:50:01,807
it 5. Yeah Yeah. Because you... There's a

1401
00:50:01,807 --> 00:50:04,108
lake in the middle of doo, Mh. That

1402
00:50:04,108 --> 00:50:06,013
everybody stops at. I don't know what the

1403
00:50:06,013 --> 00:50:07,933
name is. But they say, drive you know,

1404
00:50:08,172 --> 00:50:10,244
to that lake and then spend an entire

1405
00:50:10,244 --> 00:50:10,744
day

1406
00:50:11,121 --> 00:50:13,112
at that lake. Yeah. You know? And if

1407
00:50:13,112 --> 00:50:14,387
whether it takes you 2 days to get

1408
00:50:14,387 --> 00:50:15,662
there, then you spend a day there and

1409
00:50:15,662 --> 00:50:17,669
then 1 or 2 days out. Yeah. You

1410
00:50:17,669 --> 00:50:21,030
know, but it's a 4 day 5 day

1411
00:50:21,404 --> 00:50:23,470
trip. Yeah. And you're in the middle of

1412
00:50:23,470 --> 00:50:23,867
nowhere.

1413
00:50:24,503 --> 00:50:26,545
So if you are thinking about daisy, you

1414
00:50:26,744 --> 00:50:29,461
carry gas with you because the trails...

1415
00:50:30,181 --> 00:50:32,578
It's not like super long. It's like 30

1416
00:50:32,578 --> 00:50:35,056
miles, but you're going slow. So you're burning

1417
00:50:35,056 --> 00:50:37,547
through fuel. Yep. And then there are no

1418
00:50:37,547 --> 00:50:38,047
gases

1419
00:50:38,427 --> 00:50:41,063
stop shaver lake on either side. Mh. So

1420
00:50:41,063 --> 00:50:42,922
you gotta drive back to shaver lake

1421
00:50:43,380 --> 00:50:45,940
make fill up. I've heard you need at

1422
00:50:45,940 --> 00:50:48,422
least 200 miles of range

1423
00:50:48,874 --> 00:50:51,332
in your off road vehicle to make the

1424
00:50:51,332 --> 00:50:51,808
entire trip.

1425
00:50:52,538 --> 00:50:55,485
You really wanna take 250 to 300 miles

1426
00:50:55,485 --> 00:50:57,079
of gas with you just in case though.

1427
00:50:57,397 --> 00:50:58,534
Yeah. So

1428
00:50:59,070 --> 00:51:00,265
think about that. If you're gonna to do

1429
00:51:00,424 --> 00:51:01,141
Doo. Yes.

1430
00:51:01,793 --> 00:51:03,536
I would definitely need to carry fuel. Yeah.

1431
00:51:03,773 --> 00:51:06,467
I would too. I get just under 200

1432
00:51:06,467 --> 00:51:06,967
miles

1433
00:51:07,418 --> 00:51:08,210
on 1 tank.

1434
00:51:09,019 --> 00:51:11,015
I get halfway through a tank doing the

1435
00:51:11,095 --> 00:51:12,692
Rub con. Yeah. Alright.

1436
00:51:13,650 --> 00:51:15,007
So anyways, that's doo.

1437
00:51:15,726 --> 00:51:17,003
Swamp is another 1 in that swamp plate

1438
00:51:17,003 --> 00:51:18,520
is in that area. And then another 1

1439
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,135
that's kind of AAA

1440
00:51:20,135 --> 00:51:20,635
notable,

1441
00:51:22,295 --> 00:51:25,414
c mention, I guess. Okay. Is shut eye

1442
00:51:25,414 --> 00:51:28,061
peak. Never heard of it. Shut eye peak

1443
00:51:28,061 --> 00:51:29,972
is a trail outside of Oak.

1444
00:51:31,087 --> 00:51:33,476
So not in the shaver lake area, but

1445
00:51:33,476 --> 00:51:35,878
not too far away. Yeah. Yeah. And it

1446
00:51:35,878 --> 00:51:36,695
is another

1447
00:51:37,385 --> 00:51:37,885
fantastic

1448
00:51:38,338 --> 00:51:40,640
out up in that area. So... And it's

1449
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,442
just got some really cool granite crawling

1450
00:51:44,465 --> 00:51:45,892
as you get towards the end of it.

1451
00:51:46,051 --> 00:51:48,748
Oh, cool. So shut Ip is another 1

1452
00:51:48,748 --> 00:51:50,414
that's that's cool. If you're looking for a

1453
00:51:50,414 --> 00:51:52,576
look lookout. Yeah. To do some rock crawling

1454
00:51:52,576 --> 00:51:54,167
at. And so Bald Mountain and Shut,

1455
00:51:54,724 --> 00:51:56,793
and then pretty much every other trail in

1456
00:51:56,793 --> 00:51:59,896
that shaver lake red Mountain sand flats area.

1457
00:52:00,468 --> 00:52:00,968
Is

1458
00:52:01,340 --> 00:52:04,196
all just at these tiny little high Sierra

1459
00:52:04,196 --> 00:52:05,886
lakes that are amazing

1460
00:52:06,417 --> 00:52:07,052
locations to get to.

1461
00:52:07,782 --> 00:52:09,929
So... Cool. Yeah. Well, it sounds like a

1462
00:52:09,929 --> 00:52:12,474
fun area, I definitely want to explore more

1463
00:52:12,474 --> 00:52:14,939
of it. Mh. And, you know, after doing

1464
00:52:14,939 --> 00:52:16,927
the podcast for so many years, we're gaining

1465
00:52:16,927 --> 00:52:18,771
more more friends all around. I know that

1466
00:52:18,771 --> 00:52:20,442
you have friends and family that live down

1467
00:52:20,442 --> 00:52:22,192
in that area, but I don't have friends.

1468
00:52:22,669 --> 00:52:22,987
That's.

1469
00:52:23,942 --> 00:52:25,931
You family that lives down there, but now

1470
00:52:25,931 --> 00:52:27,613
I have through the podcast, you know, we

1471
00:52:27,613 --> 00:52:29,756
have connections down in that area, and, you

1472
00:52:29,756 --> 00:52:31,582
know, if I said, hey, I wanna go

1473
00:52:31,582 --> 00:52:34,122
wheel these trails, like more than enough people

1474
00:52:34,122 --> 00:52:36,123
would be happy to. Guide us along or

1475
00:52:36,123 --> 00:52:37,714
take us on some of adventures, which is

1476
00:52:37,714 --> 00:52:40,101
really fun and cool. Yep So, yeah. I

1477
00:52:40,101 --> 00:52:42,744
don't... Probably not this year just because life

1478
00:52:42,744 --> 00:52:43,385
is happening,

1479
00:52:43,784 --> 00:52:46,344
but problem, maybe next year, I definitely wanna

1480
00:52:46,344 --> 00:52:48,264
go down there and do some do some

1481
00:52:48,264 --> 00:52:50,994
exploring. Mh. Another area that it we're not

1482
00:52:50,994 --> 00:52:53,536
gonna cover on these highlights because not... You've

1483
00:52:53,536 --> 00:52:55,124
been there, but I have never been there.

1484
00:52:55,362 --> 00:52:57,984
Mh. Is Bear Valley. Oh, yeah. I wanted

1485
00:52:57,984 --> 00:53:00,025
to go to Bear Valley sometime and just

1486
00:53:00,462 --> 00:53:02,532
hud around because I've heard so much about

1487
00:53:02,532 --> 00:53:04,602
it. But I don't never been there And

1488
00:53:04,602 --> 00:53:06,672
never tried any of the trails. I wasn't

1489
00:53:06,672 --> 00:53:07,866
too impressed with Bear Valley.

1490
00:53:08,439 --> 00:53:11,471
It's it's impressive to look at because it's

1491
00:53:11,471 --> 00:53:14,822
in the middle of San Bernardino, San Bernardino

1492
00:53:14,982 --> 00:53:17,961
Valley. Yeah. And it's just this giant plateau

1493
00:53:18,888 --> 00:53:21,291
that shoots up 6000 feet

1494
00:53:21,743 --> 00:53:24,219
in the middle of San Bernardino Valley, Right.

1495
00:53:24,459 --> 00:53:25,279
And that

1496
00:53:25,818 --> 00:53:27,735
geographically, it's impressive, but, like,

1497
00:53:28,455 --> 00:53:29,994
it's such a small

1498
00:53:30,613 --> 00:53:31,113
area

1499
00:53:31,572 --> 00:53:32,311
for Oh

1500
00:53:32,851 --> 00:53:33,750
recreation that

1501
00:53:34,143 --> 00:53:35,896
I don't know. My opinion, there's not a

1502
00:53:35,896 --> 00:53:38,445
lot of places to explore. Yeah. And if

1503
00:53:38,445 --> 00:53:39,959
you're looking to explore,

1504
00:53:40,676 --> 00:53:43,469
not a great area. Yeah. I went... I

1505
00:53:43,469 --> 00:53:45,294
know you went down for, like, an event,

1506
00:53:45,611 --> 00:53:47,832
and that you guys did some trail runs,

1507
00:53:47,991 --> 00:53:49,204
but I wonder if

1508
00:53:49,513 --> 00:53:52,130
It sounded trails. Yeah. But it out... To

1509
00:53:52,130 --> 00:53:54,272
me, it sounded like you were the way

1510
00:53:54,272 --> 00:53:57,303
over built rig for the... Vehicles that were

1511
00:53:57,303 --> 00:54:00,639
on that that expedition. Yeah. So I bet

1512
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:02,705
you there's harder trails than what you went

1513
00:54:02,705 --> 00:54:05,983
on. Probably that I've heard the hardest trail

1514
00:54:05,983 --> 00:54:07,101
up there is John Bull.

1515
00:54:07,820 --> 00:54:09,498
Okay. And rid of that 1. And,

1516
00:54:10,137 --> 00:54:12,055
from what I've seen of John Bowl, it...

1517
00:54:12,389 --> 00:54:15,197
It looks like what would be an

1518
00:54:16,845 --> 00:54:18,516
trail here. Strawberry.

1519
00:54:19,074 --> 00:54:20,520
No it's a little more difficult than strawberry.

1520
00:54:20,679 --> 00:54:23,297
I mean, maybe old strawberry, both before started

1521
00:54:23,297 --> 00:54:24,885
getting all the rocks taken out of it

1522
00:54:24,885 --> 00:54:25,758
before it got bull.

1523
00:54:26,314 --> 00:54:28,317
I, it I would difficult put it up

1524
00:54:28,317 --> 00:54:29,434
along that low, oh,

1525
00:54:30,311 --> 00:54:32,784
Bear Valley Oh v. Outside of Truck? Yeah.

1526
00:54:33,103 --> 00:54:34,538
I think from what I've seen of John

1527
00:54:34,698 --> 00:54:37,090
Bowl, it seems like it's that difficulty of

1528
00:54:37,090 --> 00:54:40,766
trail. Oh, wow So. Okay. Yeah. And that's

1529
00:54:40,766 --> 00:54:42,277
supposedly their hardest trail in Bear Valley.

1530
00:54:42,914 --> 00:54:45,477
Got it. So... Good to know. Yeah. Okay.

1531
00:54:46,434 --> 00:54:47,951
It's cool spot though. Like, you just go

1532
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:48,908
up and up and up and up and

1533
00:54:48,908 --> 00:54:50,983
up forever, and then you come down really

1534
00:54:50,983 --> 00:54:52,914
quickly and back down to December Bernardino Right.

1535
00:54:53,153 --> 00:54:54,751
The view from on top of it, overlooking

1536
00:54:54,751 --> 00:54:56,769
the San Bernardino Valley is

1537
00:54:57,308 --> 00:54:59,066
really cool as well. Especially at nighttime when

1538
00:54:59,066 --> 00:55:00,679
everything's things lit up. You can't really see

1539
00:55:00,679 --> 00:55:01,957
anything during the day because of all the

1540
00:55:01,957 --> 00:55:02,996
smog. It's a little depressing.

1541
00:55:03,715 --> 00:55:05,154
But, yeah, that's why you just go go

1542
00:55:05,154 --> 00:55:06,432
wheel up into the trails for the and

1543
00:55:06,432 --> 00:55:07,951
then at nighttime, come back and look at

1544
00:55:07,951 --> 00:55:09,070
the lights. Alright. Cool.

1545
00:55:09,884 --> 00:55:11,882
Well, yeah. Thank you for the review of

1546
00:55:12,042 --> 00:55:15,238
S Life Lakes area. Yeah. I have, not

1547
00:55:15,238 --> 00:55:17,156
explored enough of that, and hopefully, we'll get

1548
00:55:17,156 --> 00:55:19,246
down to it soon enough. Mh. Yeah. Bald

1549
00:55:19,405 --> 00:55:21,714
Mountain for sure. It's a highlight. I know

1550
00:55:21,714 --> 00:55:23,386
lots of photos for... Or see lots of

1551
00:55:23,386 --> 00:55:25,058
photos from down there. Lots of people talking

1552
00:55:25,058 --> 00:55:26,650
about it. Mh. I think that,

1553
00:55:27,460 --> 00:55:28,492
I'm gonna go out on the limb here

1554
00:55:28,492 --> 00:55:30,501
and say that that is an area that

1555
00:55:30,637 --> 00:55:34,369
is so frequently traveled to in a destination

1556
00:55:34,369 --> 00:55:36,196
that we need to start protecting it to...

1557
00:55:36,529 --> 00:55:37,885
Some extent. Mh.

1558
00:55:38,603 --> 00:55:41,315
Please, so please stay on trails. Please stay,

1559
00:55:41,554 --> 00:55:43,867
you know, collect, carry it pack in and

1560
00:55:43,867 --> 00:55:46,394
pack out whatever you have. You know, just

1561
00:55:46,913 --> 00:55:49,227
do be good stewards to the land and,

1562
00:55:49,307 --> 00:55:51,302
you know, then people can continue to visit

1563
00:55:51,302 --> 00:55:54,509
those areas like that. Yeah. And huge shout

1564
00:55:54,509 --> 00:55:56,746
out to Clovis independent 4 wheelers and all

1565
00:55:56,746 --> 00:55:58,425
the other clubs that help maintain that area.

1566
00:55:58,904 --> 00:56:01,221
They do a really good job at trash

1567
00:56:01,221 --> 00:56:02,260
cleanup regularly,

1568
00:56:02,754 --> 00:56:04,748
They have quite a bit of infrastructure in

1569
00:56:04,748 --> 00:56:07,539
terms of signage at sand flats to tell

1570
00:56:07,539 --> 00:56:09,613
people how to get to and access the

1571
00:56:09,613 --> 00:56:10,809
different areas, different trails.

1572
00:56:11,368 --> 00:56:12,187
There's bathrooms

1573
00:56:12,818 --> 00:56:15,129
There's, a trash cans in a couple areas

1574
00:56:15,129 --> 00:56:17,599
too. So they have a pretty decent amount

1575
00:56:17,599 --> 00:56:19,033
of infrastructure up there, and I know the

1576
00:56:19,033 --> 00:56:21,423
4 wheel drive clubs maintain almost all of

1577
00:56:21,423 --> 00:56:23,907
it. Wow. So huge shout out to the

1578
00:56:23,907 --> 00:56:26,455
clubs in the Fresno area that help maintain

1579
00:56:26,455 --> 00:56:27,194
the shaver

1580
00:56:27,649 --> 00:56:30,197
wheel area. It is very impressive.

1581
00:56:30,927 --> 00:56:32,914
What they've done and what they're able to

1582
00:56:32,914 --> 00:56:35,378
do since they have a really good relationship

1583
00:56:35,378 --> 00:56:37,922
with Sierra National Forest. Nice. So... Yeah.

1584
00:56:38,732 --> 00:56:41,119
Sweet. Yeah. Good stuff. Yeah. Well, if you

everybody out there? I wonder if they do

00:57:11,057 --> 00:57:13,593
a 31 tire 31 inch tire run out

1599
00:57:13,593 --> 00:57:15,495
there. We could start 1. And with that

1600
00:57:15,495 --> 00:57:17,263
my friends? Keep crawling.

1601
00:57:45,965 --> 00:57:48,364
I got 1 for you. You're very cheering

1602
00:57:48,364 --> 00:57:50,285
with that? Are you excited about this 1?

1603
00:57:50,525 --> 00:57:53,005
Okay. Yes. It's not 1 of the cards.

1604
00:57:54,036 --> 00:57:56,495
I know. So... Okay. I'm ready. I guess.

1605
00:57:57,368 --> 00:57:57,844
Why?

1606
00:57:58,653 --> 00:57:59,711
Did the car

1607
00:58:00,487 --> 00:58:01,762
not go to school.

1608
00:58:08,938 --> 00:58:12,503
It had a readers block, like an engine

1609
00:58:12,503 --> 00:58:12,740
block.

1610
00:58:14,182 --> 00:58:16,163
Clever, but no. Okay. I don't know then.

1611
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,381
It failed. It's a mission test.

1612
00:58:19,332 --> 00:58:19,649
Yeah,

1613
00:58:23,397 --> 00:58:27,318
Add admission. Add admission to. Mission. Is emission

1614
00:58:27,454 --> 00:58:29,046
emission admissions. Add admission.

1615
00:58:30,334 --> 00:58:31,768
No. I don't know. I that's a stretch.

1616
00:58:32,565 --> 00:58:35,354
More than readers block? No. That one's a

1617
00:58:35,354 --> 00:58:35,752
big stretch.
