Awesome scenery, love it will never see it personally, I appreciate you taking time to make vlogs. The winter ones you made were awesome too. I'm a 77 year old widow and you will never know the joy these brings into my life.

Great video.

@kellyhawk822 Год назад

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy these videos

@jackmundo4043 Год назад

Thank you for this update. Ive been wondering.

@DkPatel-wi9hb Год назад

Good shots of the south fork of the Kern River from the bridge and of the down-gade from Sherman Pass summit. I agree. Please consider a side trip to Alabama Hills and Whitney Portal when passing thru Lone Pine.

@JoeD.294. Год назад

Thanks Ben for the effort. I never been through Kennedy Meadows. Beautiful drive. I'm wondering if Mike ever fished the West Walker. I heard the current was still a little strong.

This weekend Reno’s going to be 105💥

@AJwoodway Год назад

Its crazy to think the early pioneers and native people took those mountain passes on horse, wagons and feet. Those were some tough som-biscuits. Ps That sauce would probably be pretty awesome on the bacon shrimp too. Yum! Gonna make that this weekend.

@Pompomgrenade Год назад

I suppose if gas is $7.49 a gallon a (small displacement) dirt bike is good transportation... Thanks for the tour Kernville/Kennedy Meadows, beautiful CA

@terrywhite5455 Год назад

Last time on this road from 395 up to Kennedy Meadows campsites in ‘71, was a well maintained gravel road, no blacktop or guardrails.

@SuziPoozi Год назад

I don't think I've seen a radar detector since the early 90s. Thanks for another awesome road trip!

@GT-mn3bx Год назад

I've never not had one since about 1982 or so. Our Dad had one before that. A Cobra or something.

@GT-mn3bx Год назад

20:33 You should see it in winter on sleds. Go places you can't get to without a horse or mule. I wonder how those people do in winter with the road closure, sometimes just a few miles west of 395.

@4RXLA Год назад

The road improved once you got to Inyo County.

@muddypawsadventurer7775 Год назад

Nice. I've never traveled the road and knowing how you vid, I knew you'd give a good showing of the pass and surrounding area. I had known that there were private property up there, but not to the extent that is indicated. S. Fork of the Kern I've been on when I was a kid when my dad hired his friend to fly us into Templeton Meadows(now closed to all aircraft) prior to it being designated. wilderness. So, Kennedy is on my bucket list to go 4x4ing to fish the Kern. The ol' Scout is getting a makeover.... BTW, nice looking steaks.

@Ali-ct9pb Год назад

Enjoyed the trip. My dad always liked to drive on adventures; reminds me of him. I’m curious what mountains were the ones at the end behind the McDonald’s. Was it just part of the Sierra range, or McKinley, or something else? I’m not familiar with it enough. Thanks. Sure wondering how much gas it took to drive the whole way? Were there gas stations? Glad the pups got to go along. So pretty out there. Thanks again.

@mitchellbarnow1709 Год назад

Sherman Pass is the only Sierra pass that I’ve never driven up to as it looks really curvy and even when I’m driving I’ll feel sick, get a stiff neck and a bad headache. Now that I’m in my mid 60’s I’ve gotten worse. Maybe after today’s video I’ll see that I can’t miss it any longer?

@lauchieburton5592 Год назад

Thanks for the road trip very interesting, I thought for sure Sadie was going to jump into the water it was moving very fast they seem to know how dangerous it could be

@sylviawelsh9518 Год назад

If there’s water they will find it.😎

@bradleymercier6817 Год назад

Very nice drive on a beautiful day, must admit however that the “by the seat of your pants”forest service road component of the initial attempt was riveting.

@jerryohanlon101 Год назад

Would like to see a review on the Heybike.

@mitchellbarnow1709 Год назад

That was one magnificent drive over an awesome pass! I wish that Tioga Pass would open soon so that I could do an incredible Bay Area trip!

@briane173 Год назад

That's what I've been waiting for too but pfffft, I told myself in MARCH that I wanted to get down to Mammoth and mostly because of weather I never made the trip. Used to live there like a half century ago (oy), live in WA now but I've always been drawn to the eastern Sierra even though I've got the Cascades and Columbia Gorge in my backyard.

Kennedy Meadows General Store is a resupply stop along the famous PCT. It’s 700 trail miles from the Mexican border and 1900 miles to Canada. Traditionally it celebrates the the beginning of the Sierra and end of the desert section of the PCT (Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail). Getting that far is a considerable achievement. It’s celebrated in numerous RU-vid vlogs and the book and film “Wild” by Cheryl Stayed.

Fill up on gas in Bishop Plus show video going through Bishop

@sylviawelsh9518 Год назад

Pretty narrow road.

@TrustedSilver1987 Год назад

Many people have drowned trying to swim in that kern river. back in the 80's we used to drink and smoke weed out there a lot.

@sylviawelsh9518 Год назад

Been have you ever gone over 89 above Markleville. Reminds me of this area a lot lakes and meadows over 9000 ft.

@plowbrothers365 Год назад

Not yet

@mitchellbarnow1709 Год назад

There are a lot of facilities for Pacific Crest Trail through hikers in Kennedy Meadows South and North. A really big hiker’s party spot for the end of the desert and the beginning of the Sierra Nevada Mountains!!! They have to pickup their bear canisters and keep them until Kennedy Meadows North.

@mitchellbarnow1709 Год назад

Is Whitney Portal open yet? I find it extremely beautiful up there and it’s just a few switchbacks and you’re there after passing through the Alabama Hills. Have you ever seen “High Sierra” with Humphrey Bogart? They go fast on those scary switchbacks and they have shootouts around granite backdrops.

@plowbrothers365 Год назад

I’ll check that out one of these days.

@mitchellbarnow1709 Год назад

@@plowbrothers365 Awesome!

@JanisLC Год назад

Curious how those steak bites and your sauce turned out ? Was it as good … better ?? Looked great ! 😊

@theathjr Год назад

Yeah i was thinking the same thing. All I could think about the rest of the video was that sauce and the steak bites !!!

@plowbrothers365 Год назад

Good needs a little refinement. Need to talk to the chef at tepan spot

@deborahambrose15 Год назад

Thank you for taking us along on this road trip. Your enjoyment and appreciation of the great outdoors and the mountains is infectious.

@theathjr Год назад

Ben I’m thankful for you taking us through Kennedy Meadows. I’ve always been curious about that area and now I know I HAVE to check it out. Enjoy Mammoth this week its supposed to be a scorcher here in the valley soon.

@briane173 Год назад

Heard of it, never been through there. That's a road that although I've passed it a million times on 395 I never knew where it led. Gorgeous pristine county up there.

@jaysoncody8716 Год назад

It's so sad to see the sick dying forests !

@Master_Rosin1 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your incredible adventure

@briane173 Год назад

Not gonna lie -- a little heartbroken watching Bud, coz my daughter and her family owned a Lab mix that had been with them longer than 14 years -- before my grandkids were born -- and they had to put her down yesterday. Doggie dementia. Not hard to imagine; as Labs go 14 years is OLD; body held up a lot longer than her poor brain did. The last thing to stop when they euthanized her was her heart. Poignant and not surprising. She was a bit of a nut; she used to harrass my late wife every time she went to their house. But she was a sweet dog and as she got older was more laid back and a joy to have around. Bud reminded me of Tricksy straight away and it got me right in the feels.

@sylviawelsh9518 Год назад

Love how Sadie sleeps just like my Aussie Oakley.🤪

@briane173 Год назад

Curious as to the red-ish color of the creek running down the east slope. There must be either a lot of iron oxidation of the cobbles along the river or it's taking a ton of iron-rich sediment down from the crest.

@Mrbfgray Год назад

Fun Fact: Around statehood, 1882, the economic potential of new state of Cali would be curtailed due to wildfire smoke, it was feared. (should have also feared entire Central Valley becoming a great lake for 6 months, up to 100/200 ft. deep, due to relentless atmospheric river flooding, as it does every couple centuries and DID right around that time, but only the Natives knew and we didn't ask, lol) Fires need not be as devastating as they often are, or as much as they are essential and beneficial. These *lands were born to BURN,* multiple native tree species cannot exist without fire inc. our beloved Giant Sequoias. So it comes down to how and when they burn not if. Native Americans set them alight at favorable times and naturally lightening did the trick for many millions of yrs.
