- In this video I spent my last day at Fossil Falls beating the heat. I make up some lunch and chase the the shade. Then I move camp up to Alabama Hills in Lone Pine, California. I find a great camp among the giant boulders. I explore the area on the motorbike and check out the small town of Lone Pine.
Thank you for being here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

Moco loco, yer killin me smalls! 😁 Hope you saved some loco moco for me!!! 🤷🏻♀️
Wow, that sunset made the sky look as though it was on fire. Simply amazing. Brian, your videos are always very entertaining.
Hello Brain, you have been on my mind lately. Hope everything is going well. It's been 3 years since I lost Guy and just recently found out that they did not open the campground and it has broken my heart. GUY worked so hard and was so proud that you came for a visit. I watch that video all the time. Also wanted to extend a invitation to visit with free accommodations in North Alabama. Love ya stay safe and keep the peace ✌❌❌❌
Could I get the name of the Video to watch.. Thank you
@@katzcrow640 if you go to live your dreams it has a link to Red Rock Campground Red Rock Pa. Iam very thankful for the tribute to Guy .Guy was my Rock and I miss him everyday. Hope you can find the video.
Thanks for sharing that video with us. Why was the campground closed? Were there new buyers that changed that? I’m sorry for your loss as he seems like such a great person.❤️❤️
The Campground closed because Guy died and his father lives in Hawaii and the sister and nephew have no intrest in hard work and responsibility. It is a shame and breaks my heart that the stress from the family business that we worked so hard for, ultimately lead him to a choice that I wish I could change. It's been 3 yrs and it feels like yesterday. I live in Alabama now and have heard it is up for sale. 💔
Thank you he was my everything, he was a special soul that will live in my heart till we meet again.💯
Lone Pine campground is the best camping in this area with a view of Mt. Whitney. It's at about 6,000 feet and is right next to Lone Pine creek, which runs year round from the melting glaciers further up the valley. The creek is stocked with trout by the forest service regularly and there is very nice hiking up the valley to Tuttle Creek, Whitney Portal, and Meysan Lake (about a seven mile hike). There's even an old stone cabin that is located in this very nice meadow area along the trail. My family camped there for years. Thanks for bringing back the memories for me. Happy camping and welcome back.
Another great video. You really do take us with you. It's like we're riding in the passenger seat. On behalf of a lot of us, know we appreciate your efforts. It' is a lot of work to film, edit, upload and all that. It's a LOT of work. It is a pleasure to watch and the scenic video and drone work is marvelous. You put it in a format that is delightful to watch and feel like I am there. So glad you're back. Thanks, Brian!
Have you been to Ridgecrest, Ca? I lived there on base when I was in my teens. The scenery in this video is awesome.
The whole video is lovely, but the time lapse of the clouds against the mountains and the sunset- ooh, la, la!
Was truly some impressive filming.
Sounds like an exciting trip. Hard work, too.
Magnifique!
Thank you Brian I needed to watch a quality video! Be safe
Thank you for Excellent Video an... WOW....Absolutely Beautiful Sunset..🌿❤️🌿. So glad you are back on the road. Thanks again West Coast Canada 🇨🇦.
Motorcycles and sunsets..Brian for president! 🙋♂️
The Sunset was 3 dimensional and beautiful!
Very beautiful. Our gas has gotten down to a decent price around $3.40 here in Tennessee.

I've been in Lone Pine California now for 2 months. It is so hard to leave here because of the endless opportunities to go exploring. I've ridden my motorcycle and taken my 4x4 truck deep into the back country to rock hounding and explore all these myriad old abandoned mine shafts, and ghost towns. Owen's Valley is just beyond amazing, and now I know so much about the area; when I come back I'll trek out to the thousands of places to check out. Keeping it Real Mr. Adventure Van Man Brian....I'll be here til middle of September I haven't a clue where to next....north probably but who knows. Hwy 395 is arguably one of the top 5 routes/drives in all of the lower 48 states....you have the highest mnt and the Lowest place, and Owen's Valley is the deepest Valley in the western hemisphere....all just a few minutes away from Lone Pine California....
I appreciate that you’ve made your videos longer! A lot of people asked for longer videos and you have been doubling the length lately. Thank you 🙏🏼
Love how patient you are in your cooking videos. The views are awesome.
Enjoyable seeing the Alabama Hills and creek there. Neat knowing old westerns were filmed there.....hello Audie Murphy...oh wait he is no longer with us. K.
Nice footage!
That's gotta be one of the nicest and craziest sunsets I've seen.
Nice area, definitely hot season. That 395 very familiar, really nice once north of Ridgecrest. Lake Isabella, Kennedy Meadows, Owen's River Gorge, Lone Pine and Bishop. Safe Travels
Hi Brian! What a beautiful area to camp in. i Love all the rock formations and the winding trails. Nice place to ride your bike.You haven't lost your creativity in your menus I see. You make some delicious but simple dishes. I've even tried a few of your originals.Very tasty. OMG, that sunset was spectacular. Just breath taking. thanks for sharing Brian. I'm already looking forward to your next video. hugs, Louise
Wow Brian that sunset !!! That area is my favorite part of California. The hwy 395 corridor never disappoints.
Thanks so much Brian. Such wonderful footage. Be safe, our friend. Cheers!
Well I tried your rice hamburger mushroom and onions and egg oh man it was delicious watching your avengers get good food out
I thank you
Glad to see youre back on the road ... Let the good times roll !!
The Dish🍽☕Looks Great minus the Rice as it is loaded with Carbs & turns to Sugar in the body. Use to love Rice all the time but have changed. Beef w/Few Egg's Great! Happy Traveling. always, Tommy :-) 🍽

Another fun video. Great views and always enjoy your cooking.
Good that you are on the road again.
Beautiful country. Really appreciate the location directions and descriptions like, area where Hollywood films were/are made. Meal preps always great.
Amazing sunset. great campsites on this video, thanks for sharing your trip.
Beautiful scenery. So good to have you back with us.
Van Dude is back at it. Cool. ✌️
that sunset would make a killer puzzle
Van Dude ✌️😁👍
Hi Brian....that sunset sky was fantastic! Glad to see you back at it again!!
Loved to see this area. Anyone looking for a beautiful adventure, the eastern Sierras ia the place to go. It is gorgeous. There something for everyone from extreme sports to just sitting in your chair to enjoy the veiws. Spectacular.
Great sunset, welcome back Brian, and away we go. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Seeing you sitting on the rocks just makes me think of Tremors
Speechless...
Wow, unreal sunset…love that area.
Nature's eye candy.. Milky mountain ranges, spectacularly sweet sunsets.. Vicariously viewing is as close as I'll be able to get to being there. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it 😎🤗☮️💚
Along 395 from Kennedy Meadow to Mammoth Lake used to be where I spent most weekends and holidays for 10 years since 2007; Stayed at all the campsites, bagged many peaks, trekked a lot of trails, backpacked to lakes, snowshoed backcountry in winter. This video brings back fond memories……thank you Brian :)
Wow that last shot of the sunset upside down looks like lava! 🌋
Brian. Thanks for driving us around the campground and the hills. I need to check it out someday when it’s not so hot.
Wow, what a sunset!!
Beautiful clip. Thanks for sharing. Brought me back to a time in the early/mid 60's at Joshua Tree National Monument. Back then it was all dispersed with no water and only a plywood pit toilet. We used to camp among the rock formations and as kids, scampered and climbed among them to places we never should have gone. Even slept in a cave there with my 2 cousins. Thats a story. Be well. Good journeys. Happy trails!
Nice. Glad you are back up & running. The Alaskan seasonal footage was great too. Be well & safe travels.
Glad your back on the road, I watch your old videos when you are at work and not uploading new content, hey what happen to driver side door, I just noticed it??? God bless brother
I noticed too- at first thot had done a graphic.
Glorious sunset!
Those cloud views when you had your breakfast were beautiful!
Just stunning shot of the area and sunset. Great video.
Where you were pointing was Mt. Whitney - it is the tallest, triangular shaped mountain in the middle of where you were pointing. I was so happy to see that the Merry-Go-Round restaurant was still there until you got close and I saw "Chinese" written on the window, lol. Well at least the sign is still there. I went to that restaurant a few times in the early 80s when it was still the Merry-Go-Round. Have you ever gone up into the White Mountains across the way to see the ancient Bristlecone Pine forest? Anyway, lovely video again - the time-lapse on the cotton clouds was amazing as was the sunset.
Back to boondocking! I love it. Awesome video and beautiful scenery 👍
It's been real nice. 🤙🏼
395 is such a beautiful place. I stayed at Tuttle creek back in May and it was great . Not packed, trout in that creek .
Always good to see you enjoying life
😃👍
What a breakfast, for that view I would eat beets and I hate beets. INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! Enjoy the road and stay safe.

Glad to see you back and camping again. That sunset was incredible!
That was a good one.

Brian this is one of your most beautiful videos ( okay, I’m partial) it was so great spending time with you too.
Have a great time on the bike ride!
😊
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Stay safe and I'm already looking forward to the next one!
Almost no snow on the mountains. We are in trouble. The drought is really hitting the eastern sierra.
Charles Quinn It’s not that unusual not to have snow on the Sierra this time of year, but the Eastern Sierra is always in a drought since most of our water goes down South anyway. 🥲
Mega them sky with sun 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Man, I love the motorcycle. What a great way to explore. Beautiful video.
Hey Brian, great to see you ride too hot for me I've been traveling the Oregon coast this summer tonight I'm street parking Nye beach ocean view high mid-sixties lows mid fifty's great spot for the night
Such a beautiful area! Glad you weren’t caught in the floods. You always make the most delicious looking food!

Brian thanks for the tour around the area and the town itself. Now the little creak would be nice to put your feet in on a hot day. Loved how the sky looked. Thru the trees outside I get to see an orangist sky and it's awesome. Enjoyed and also what a great meal you fixed. Stay safe and take care.
