Greetings, The adventure family is a group of people related by blood or friendship who enjoy outdoor adventures in God's incredible creation. We are tourists, amateur historians, overlanders, backpackers, weekend adventurers, explorers of forgotten places, gourmet trail cooks and craft cocktail makers! We are based in the western USA and some of our favorite places are the Eastern Sierras, Death Valley, Nevada, Colorado, Eastern Oregon and all points in between! These video have been created so we can revisit the great adventures we have had and share them with others. You too are welcome to join the advfamily, just Like & Subscribe, and you can catch us the next time we venture outside.

Overlander's Paradise - Eastern Sierra Mountains: Forests, Streams, Wild Life & Mining Camps
As we continue our adventure in the Eastern Sierra Mountains we head north on the 395 from the Inyo National Forest to the Toiyabe National Forest. We ascend back up to 10,000' and make our camp at the head waters of the Dunderberg Creek and the location of Thomas Ward's Mining Camp which he settle in 1892. Our camp was next to the creek and we were reward with several visits from a local deer.

Those are insulated french drains in the Treasure Mountain bunkhouse. They were used around the upper perimeter to keep water away.
Awesome, thank you for the info!
What size are those in the vid
285/70R17
they any better in the rain?
In the little rain we have had so far they seemed better. I did find some mud and they worked very well keeping the treads clean.
Perfect song! Stunning drive ❤
I agree, thanks for watching!
I've been in Texas for the largest part of my life. I've been really wanting to visit or even move to Idaho for about three years now. I blame Rich Mullins. Rich Mullins and aviation.
There are lots of incredible places to explore!
That's a great spot with amazing history.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching.
Randomly found this video today. Love your content and passion. I've always been a fan of these types of channels. I know you talk about some locations you visit but I would absolutely love to see some coordinates of the beginning and ending of your trails listed in your descriptions because I love to look at maps myself and see the routes that people take in videos. Keep up the good work, and i hope you get more subscribers!
Awesome, thank you!
50k is the mileage.
Thanks for the correction
Love the way you guys really enjoy the meal making... Outdoor cooking is half the trip in my eyes.
Thanks, I agree!
Do these have the black lettering on one side and the white wall on the other similar to Ko2s?
Yes they do. I opted for black facing out.
Are they truly quiet on the road or do they roar?
@@ArtisannasitrA I just drove 800 miles to Colorado and I think they more quiet then the KO2 which I thought were pretty quiet.
@advfamily what do you think of them so far? Any downsides from the KO2? Trying to decide between these and the AT4W for my new truck.
So far no downsides. I think like them even better than the KO2 which I thought were great too.
Nice
Thanks!
What a phenomenal view!
I agree!
Great tour boys. Mother Nature is taking her toll. Lot's of really neat equipment to see. In the summer time those eastern Sierra thunderstorms are welcome in the afternoons. Nice break from the heat.
Thanks and I agree on the afternoon storms!
Where is this one? I have not been to that one......yet.
This is the Log Cabin Mine outside of Lee Vining. I have a full video on it coming out at the end of the week.
Nice video, we usually go to 7 oaks but but that may be a quieter alternative
I love 7 oaks too but you are right it can get a little busy
What yall use for power?
I have a Jackery 1000, 500 and 240 along with a 100 watt solar panel. Depending on the season and how long I am out dictates which one or ones i take.
@@advfamily I have the 1000 pro, 1000 and 300 with 4 solar panels
@@broinsocalinice! How do like the 1000 pro compared to the regular 1000?
@advfamily I like the 1000 better. The Pro just charges faster. But as you know, they are a game changer when it come to camping and just being out and about.
@@broinsocali Thanks for the feed back and I agree with you!
i cannot find the spot y’all camped at for the life of me, do you have coordinates?
Unfortunately I don’t have the coordinates but I can tell you it is on Bear Creek upstream from the confluence. The rains can play havoc on it so I know it looks different every time I go.
Will you show us LC Brand Hunting Lodge?
Yes, more to come!
I used to go hiking on the Eastern side so often, sometimes even 4 times in a month, I just love that area, the smell of sagebrush, the sunsets and the 12-13,000 foot peaks all around, several of which I climbed in my "youth", one of which I think I caught a peek of in your video, Mt. Dana. Just a great place to explore for those who love the outdoors and geology. There are hot springs, earthquake faults, volcanos and bears, nothing better than being alone with a bear walking past you as if you don't matter one bit, which is not the way you see the bear, I promise. Love it, hope you guys have a great time. And that rain? Oh, that's nothing, I have been in absolute rivers of water coming down up there, and I have been hiking in August when it was snowing. I bet not too many people in the U.S. think about it snowing in California in August.
So epic, thanks for sharing!
@@ross798 my husband and I were at Lake Tahoe the very beginning of September in 1985. We rode the sky lift up to the top of Heavenly Mountain only to be greeted by snow ❄️
I knew exactlfy where you were heading right from the beginning of the video. Soon as I heard Lee Vining and a mine up in the eastern Sierra. I plan on visiting there again this fall. So I can't wait to see the rest of the series. Thanks for taking us along. Love lightning and thunderstorms in the Sierras.
That is awesome! It was definitely worth it and I can’t wait to go back as well. Enjoy!
Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
How long is the trail?
I would say it is about 15 miles or so.
@@advfamily is there any turn to get to the site with water or just follow the 1n09?
I've driven my 2 wheel drive 1961 Corvair throughout that entire area. Smooth easy roads except when spring melt away is happening as there is major clay mud coming up from the way of the dam.
Nice work!
Caught that Big Nasty just in time. It was beautiful.
Thanks, I am glad it didn’t catch me!
nice truck. I have the same except it is a LB. Cheers!
Right on!
Would you be willing to share coords
Sorry, I don’t share specific locations as I believe finding them is part of the adventure.
I went a little further passenger.. and then that cut off on passenger
lol!
Nice video away from all the stress of the city , would you take a stock tacoma trd 4x4? Would i run into any issues?
Thanks for watching. You shouldn't have any trouble with your stock 4X4 Tacoma this time of year. If it is raining or snow I would avoid it.
what do i type in on amazon for the net on the backside of the cab? lol
It is the heavy duty cargo net for SUV or truck. There is a link in the video description but it looks like the one I have might not be available anymore.
@@advfamily thank you!
"We like your steaks, they're yummy"🤣
I am glad you liked that!
Looks like its empty to me? It got 1 foot of water 😂, is the glass half empty or half full ? 😂
True but it was fuller than it had been in almost a 100 years! I was just excited to be able to paddle on it before it disappeared again.
Bring it all on brother !happy for y'all GOD bless !😊
Thank you!
Just got my alpha II on my Rav4 and I'm so surprised by how light it feels on the road!
Nice, enjoy it!
😎👍
Thanks!
Lived in Vegas for years, never saw this part of NV. Great video!
Thanks for watching! It is worth checking out.
WHAT'S THE REASON TO "AIR DOWN" ON AN AXESS ROAD? .
Makes the ride more comfortable.
Very nice. Glad to see you and your exploring buddies are still at it. Where is Eleanor?
Thank you! Eleanor stayed home on this trip but she will be out again
That will be epic. I live in Northern Nevada.
👍
I got ran out of that cabin by mice several weeks ago. It looked clean enough, but there were tons of them when the sun went down.
Crazy! We saw one when we were there but maybe he multiplied.
Hey man what are those lights you have under your rooftop tent? Like them a lot
Those are LED lights that are built into Alpha II RTT. I like them a lot. You can switch them from Amber to white and they are also dimmable
Thanks for sharing. I will check out this spot. I appreciate posting the location. Brings more awareness to taking care of this spot. Pack it in pack it out.
Please do!
Those little buggies suck
They certainly were fast but I prefer my truck with the windows up and the air on!
Lol, that’s my luck also
Right!
Ride motorcycles!
👍
Was either a poorly planned race with no course markings, or you and the group were oblivious to your surroundings
My guess is the overlander group are a bunch of morons. They usually are. But I could be wrong lol
That is an incredible spot! Nice vid. Keep em coming.
Thanks, will do!
Is this a first come first served
Yes it is
Lol @ “hidden.” It’s not hidden if you post about it all over the internet.
The weather station is still sitting in the same spot.
That's cool!
