- Doug Berry of the Sierra Region of California and Nevada hikes into the remote hot springs near the Walker River in Lyon County, Nevada. Kellie Zuniga, the Curator of the Mineral County Museum uses her little car to barely reach the start of a 3.5 mile walk to reach the hot springs. An abandoned mine shaft is encountered. Walker River, Lyon County and Mineral County, Nevada Scenic rugged West.
What a beautiful, rugged, remote region you hiked to. I think it's smart that you pulled over when you did, and hiked from there. Although we saw evidence of activity from long ago, it's great it wasn't on today's, beaten path. Thanks, Doug for taking us along with you, on your adventurous, scenic hike. Except for a herd, it's wonderful that you had that relaxing soak to yourselves. This was really such an idyllic, "magical" excursion on this cold, Autumn day. I thoroughly enjoyed it, Doug from the comfort of my warm home.🤭😉 I bet lunch, and those sugar cookies were delicious, and hit the spot... It looks like prior visitors believe in preserving the natural beauty of the place, like you and Kellie do, Doug... another super video for the books👏🏻🤗🤗🎊
Hi Rhonda! I put those cattle in there just for you, seeing you were asking about animals! I appreciate that you called it a "magical" excursion. We will have to thank Kellie, because she was persistent in getting to the hot springs when I was ready to turn tail and go home. I was concerned about getting stuck 25 miles in no man's land in the cold. Ha! My favorite places are the remote places without any other people, not that I don't like people, but I like solitude more often than not. We need a lot of space in Nevada (at least those of us out from Las Vegas and Reno, though those places are unique). Sunny weather, but chilly, just barely warm enough to paint the fascia outside. On my lunch break, then back to fall painting. Happy Thanxgiving Rhonda!
Now that this post hs gone on the internet, that path is going to get thoroughly beaten. I wish people would just explore remote places and not need to tell the world they did it.
p.s. There is nothing "odd" about the natural world. Our species is the only thing that is odd.
For instance, people will go to a beautiful remote place and then post all about it on the internet. Can you spell: oxymoron?
@@bellestarr6484 Not necessarilly, many of my viewers are life long outdoors people who can't get out anymore. Also, often many people have neither the patience, endurance, or toughness to reach the remote places (that's what helps to keep them less visited than anything). I have kept hidden many places that I have explored too.
It was quite the adventure. It was very pretty at the river.
It was a long walk!
Great photography, as usual, Doug!
@@TimT-um6rt Thank you Tim!
Great job.
Thank you Clydene!
Very nice trip!
Those roads look treacherous! You kids be careful out there! And be home before dark! 😆
Ha ha, thank you Dana! It was dark by the time we got back. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@CalNevaI noticed the sun starting to go down (shadows). Ha!! 😆. I’d be scared to death being on those rickety roads after dark ( from recent experience over yonder). Ha! Ha!
Keep on having lots of fun!! ❤
Yes, we got a real good rain recently over here on the west side which put some white stuff on the mountain tops. 🥳
This was a great adventure! The mountains with theblow clouds and snow looked wonderful. Kellie did a great job getting you two out there! I was also wondering how the heck that school bus frame got all the way out there?
It did indeed look like the badlands in that area! Im so glad you guys found the hot spring! It looked so nice, I bet it felt great after all that exploring out there! Ohhhh and sugar cookies 🍪 😋
It was a good workout; me pitching rocks on the road and then 7 mile hike with a big hill. I was tired! But we needed the exercise. I really like your channel, the quality and congrats on getting over 500! I look forward to viewing your new ones...still busy painting while I can. Happy Thanxgiving you guys!
All I can say is, wow, what a treat this was from start to finish! This was such a beautiful journey through an extremely remote part of Nevada. Doug, you are such a good friend helping Kellie to navigate the road and moving rocks out of the way for her. The hot springs looked gorgeous, and what a lovely, mountainous panorama. Like you, I’m glad this hot spring is so remote that it won’t attract a lot of visitors, although I do hope I can visit one day. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Kellie!
Thank you G! Have a great visit with your Italian family, that sounds like a blast! I bet you guys have a big spread for Thanksgiving. Oh I love the remote areas, so much room to breath! Please be careful on the roads, give yourself extra time to be safe. See you on Thursday my friend G!
@@CalNeva Thank you, Doug! We usually do have a pretty big spread but this year we are doing Chinese food because nobody wants to cook 🤣🤗 I hope you and Kellie are able to celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family in your lovely local community. See you on Thursday!
Another interesting video on a place few will ever visit except on your video travels :)
Miracle Hot Springs Kern River near Lake Isabela is currently being demolished by the National Forest Service. A popular spot. "Miracle" supposedly named due to WW1 wounded veterans recovering there. If you visit be sure to see the "tubes" from the U.S.S. Arizona that the anchor chains moved through.
Being a sailor, that would interest me; good travel adventure tip.
They are at the veterans park near the tank in Lake Isabella. There's a video.@@CalNeva
@@josephbingham1255 cool
That was sure a nice trip to the hot springs .good thing Kellie took you along to move rocks off the road. So much to learn out there after riding dirt bikes for many years never knew about fletcher or the hotsprings.cookies too..sounds like paradise
Hey Casey! I bet you could burn up that road on a dirt bike! Being that you are so experienced. Happy to bring you to new places and give you new adventure ideas. I hope you get plenty of cookies and pie on Thursday...you need it to make a quick recovery!
@@CalNeva I would rather these days take a Honda trail 90.just to enjoy the view.cookies and pie sounds like a good remedy.worth trying anyways
You sure have a great collection of silk scarfs (wild rags). Great content always beautiful areas that you and Kellie go to.
Thank you Michael...I used to have a bigger selection of buckaroo scarves! (Wild rags).
That road is definitely gnarly. Love these places in Nevada that you go to. The hot spring does look beautiful and clean. Love the pin on your kerchief, its the sacred heart in silver.💕
Thank you
Awsom video thank you...WOW
Appreciate you James!
Awesome location far enough to keep most people out. Pretty clean...thx
Welcome, glad to have you along!
Appropriately called ' Remote Walker' - nice spot.
Hey Steven! It was worth the hike; all the regulars have gone hunting in other parts of Nevada.
By the way, Doug, yeah, I too would eat some Rocky Road on such a Rocky road that you and Kelly just traveled on...but when you hit a rock 🪨 it's good to be careful not to chip your tooth with the spoon. Ha. Ha. Ha. 😂
So true Tim!
Water has been there
What's your clearance? Didn't look like you needed to build road. Are you in some honker huge rig?
er
Really low clearance on my friend's car...didn't want it to get tore up.
That is lukewarm to me. I need it 120 degrees
Dang John, you are one tough number!
@@CalNeva well 2 degrees above body temp does not cut it with me.🤣
Hey Brother Doug! Another goodie here...and with sugar cookies too! I'm so glad you took us to this area, I have been curious about that region behind Mt.Grant. Love our Cal-Neva borderlands, always something special to find. Great rock formations you and Kellie found! Watching you building that rock bridge wore me out, I would be done for the day after that! I wish I still had that kind of energy. Good thing you had those cookies to revive you!
I wish you and Kellie a happy Thanksgiving!
(Are you putting out a new video on Thursday or taking the day off?)
🇺🇸
Hi Brother Dick! It was paramount that I had the cookies to revive me; otherwise we would have never made it there, let alone getting back home up that pernicious hill! Thank you, I hope your Thanksgiving is a good one with family and friends! I will plan on putting out a video on Thursday because I will edit it on Wednesday; tomorrow. We will be going up to the Aurora area past Fletcher Station, poking around (but don't tell anyone yet). Still painting outside while I can; the little place looks a lot better than it did. Can't wait to get rid of crazy pink walls in the kitchen (going with white and blue trim). Still got posts to put in for another fence repair. Catch you on Thursday my Brother! 🇺🇸🍪🍰🍩🍗🥧🍺🍴🫗🍽️🍲
@@CalNeva Sounds like fun my Brother, look forward to Thursday's video with my turkey and pumpkin pie 🥧. Mostly pie, haha!
Tell Kellie your ol' Brother says hi 👋 and happy Thanksgiving to her too! 🇺🇸 🥧 🍪
@@Brother_D_therail Will do!
there is gold in the water, add drain cleaner to the springs... INSTANT gold.
Now now, there's plenty of gold for the taking elsewhere without soiling the precious water!
Why in the world would you mess up the water and area with DRAIN CLEANER? 😢
