I’ve been driving this road too and from work for the last decade. I see something new every time. At the stop sign by the power plant, there is opuntia cactai and white dudleya growing in the rock that is an amazing sight right now. I highly recommend it. It’s under the giant century plants (Agave American) from the other side of the dry river you can’t miss it.
I brought a fist full of those cherries home and planted them in primo potting soil. I have 16 tiny trees to replant in the local mountains when the rain starts. cheers
I have watched the video you made with Bob and John at enchanted rock in the rain at least 300 times, you captured pure magic the way you filmed that vidio very good Choice of music as well I get something spiritual out of it every time I watch the vidio I hope one day you and bob make more videos together you guys have a great chemistry together. God bless you both two Angel's on earth, on loan from heaven ,,, ,,
Glad to see you found more nice places to ramble and roam. Hopefully you'll come upon some places where you can make some nice camp cuisine as in the past adventures Thanks for the great video
Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. At this time, most places do not permit open fires and camp stoves due to the current drought. This will give me the opportunity to perfect recipes that may be enjoyed cold. When I am in locations were cooking fires are permitted, I will make hot cuisine. In the mean time I’m testing new recipes at home and my backyard dry creek….
so pleased to see your back Ken - I love your quiet ways and love of nature. After this pandemic there are a few on RU-vid who I used to follow who havent posted and one only assumes the worst!. Thank you and please keep posting when you can.
Hi Ken, Another great video . I'm a long time subscriber, and always look forward to your next post. This one though really hits home. For the last 19 years my home has been on the PCT, and not far from the San Francisquito trailhead. Just a couple days hike North at the Hwy 138 trailhead. Mile 517. Hikertown Hostel. Hike on in anytime. Bob
Hi Kenneth, its great to see another video from you. You may want to use hiking poles to get down those steeper hill sides. Looks like your move went well. I look forward to seeing more videos of the area.
You’re not too far from Castaic lake.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 I’ve done a lot of motorcycle riding between where I live in Orange Country, and where you live. I hope you and your wife are able to chill out and enjoy where you live. Peace, Ken…..✌️
Ken, good to see you, dear heart and gentle soul. Lovely digs, my friend. So peaceful. I know you are going to miss the lakes, but not the humidity. Blessings!
I have watched the video you Bob and your son made at enchanted rock state park in the rain at least 300 times you captured pure magic. In that video I get something spiritual out of it every time I watch it
The teepee type structure reminds me of similar structures of all sizes, all across the country. Many people, Bigfoot or Sasquatch researchers have seen these.🙏🤓
How happy I was to see a post from you, Ken!! I love watching your posts and your positive attitude and encouraging words. Your new home area is stunning, why Valencia? It is not too far from me, I am in Lakewood (LA County, close to OC). You are very fortunate that your daughter will hike some of the PCT with you! I am green with envy!! I follow a young man (Alexanderseling) who is hiking the PCT now for the cause and awareness of Veteran Suicide Prevention (he was a medic in the Army). He is a very interesting young man and a great photographer. I think this may be his third long hike. I know he has done the Appalachian Trail already. Great to have you back. Your videos are so relaxing Ken, thank you!! Wishing you and your wife the very best as you begin the next chapter in your lives. Andi
I have that info I told you about in your Red Rock Canyon vid. #1 Backcountry Adventure (So Calif edition) by Peter Massey and Jeanne Wilson, this is the best book I've found for my offroad exploring. #2 Delorme Atlas & Gazetteer, also California edition and #3 California Desert Byways 69 of California's best backcountry drives by Tony Huegel. I found that these books makes the trips a lot more fun and informative. Enjoy
Nice to see your new location Kenn. It is very nice! I have a question: does the desert broom plant have a lemon(ish) smell when rubbed a bit? I want to know because there is a very similar looking plant here in Patagonia, Argentina.
That poor man couldn't enjoy his time on that trail since he had to concentrate on running, but it was still considerate of you to wish him well. Maybe someday he'll be able to slow down and actually enjoy being there
