    My friend Ross says he knows an expert propane refrigerator guy who can get my fridge working on propane. We get up early to go over to his camp and drag Vampire Wayne out of his coffin to come over and take a look at my fridge. Then we find out someone stole our neighbors' solar panel.
    After a busy morning, I go looking for some cool graffiti I saw a picture of from inside of a huge tank. Then I make a stop at the pet cemetery on my way home.

      Taylor's Coop I would have used the word "intense." Same idea. Either way, I had to stop watching at about minute three even though I liked Bex very much. The music was just too crushing.

    That mural and graffiti art is fantastic. The desolate background really makes it stand out.
    I think the mural at 10:23 is all the same woman. It tells some kind of tale. And the paint running down the sand could be tears.

  • @JerryEricsson
    @JerryEricsson 7 років тому

    Very cool indeed! I have wanted to visit the Slabs since I first hard of the place, and yet when I was but a hundred miles away last winter, I just never made the drive! At least I can see them through your camera, probably much better then if I had visited them in person. I would never have walked that wall, no place for my cane, and my balance is terrible, I would have surely fallen in and become trapped. You are not the first to report thieves out there, I recall Nomadic Fanatic had some problems with that, as well as having his tires slashed because he crossed the wrong slabber.

    • @BexCatherder

      @JerryEricsson 7 років тому

      Sort of looks like that. There is a place in, I believe New Mexico that is sort of like the slabs on steroids, but I forget the name of it now. I did some study on it a few years back and it did look rather exciting as well. Seems America is always open to outlaws who find a little place in the wilds where nobody bothers them, and they can live in peace and prosper without harming the outsiders.

      I find it interesting that folks are reluctant to say anything negative like about the music...if it was my video, I'd take it into consideration for future choices. Dont we want her videos to be successful? Everything else was good, just music rubbed a good number the wrong way. Its as if the people needed to say they liked it to defend her...shes a cool chick, and i think she can handle it just fine without everyone invalidating those of us who hated it...i really hated it. It effected me even after i turned it off. Sounded like torture!

    Nice job. better then all other slab city videos who just have been interviewing residents, and some touring. But you showed more of the art and the big landscapes which was cool. How long was your visit?I wish I knew how to make videos and add music and edit etc. Someone helped me make one but it was not easy. Why is it called slab city. How many square miles is it? How many residents? Can anyone just drive their RV there and park and stay endlessly for free. I notices a generator at another video on slab city. I assume that is popular. I subscribed and will check out other video later--so Thank you for the share. Jim from Ocean City Maryland .

    Actually your lines were purged not bled. Propane lines rarely are plugged, what gets plugged is the pilot orifice spiders love to spin a home for babies in the pilot orifice, it reminds them of home sweet home.
    I stayed at the slabs many years ago. I marked every article prone to get stolen with big bright obvious markings. Paint all electrical cords, scratch or engrave metal items with drivers license number. Leave nothing unattended.

    The was a VX van, someone at night stole the tires, broke in and stole his stereo. The intern taking the stole report contacted me on the radio. When I got there, he told me there was a trail of blood from the broken window. We followed it for 2 blocks where it lead into the backyard of a house. I peeked around the wooden fence and saw the stack of tires and a kid inspecting them. I yelled at the kid to come forward and explained I was following a trail of blood. I examined his hands and they were cut. I asked him for the stereo and he went inside the home and returned with the stereo. I arrested him after that.

      Last week of the month is the best time. Everyone is moving and throwing stuff out. I live for dumpster diving and mining landfills. Be safe.

    I don't usually leave negative comments: On this video I'll make an exception... That is horrible "music" (do you call this music?).
    I really wanted to hear what you had to say, so I couldn't mute the whole video... whew!
    Sorry.
