Thanks for the vid Ben, You sure have a lot of irons in the fire. Maybe a couple videos with the bags on would be great to see you in action. Then on the other hand, I know what it's like to look for qualified help under a pinch. If you can get it done until the right person comes along it might be cost prohibited. If you can keep everything else running. Not to mention bringing in the new work.Thank God my faith has never let me down for long. It might be good for the other crew to see the Man at work swinging the hammer. I can speak from experience that when I got in the field to fill a void that was the best way to earn the next layer of respect or regain it. I geuss what I'm saying is it can be a positive if it doesn't carry on to long and cause your other work to suffer. Good thing winter is around the corner and framing turns into plowing, God Bless
Sweet shortie road trip thru the Kern canyon - love 178 goin' east of the lake, the South Fork area is dramatically unspoiled. Enjoy your channel, especially the doggies.
CA-178 is no joke though. It's not a route for the impatient. Gotta be mindful of both the potential rockfall _and_ idiot drivers. The less stressful route is CA-58 to Mojave, which is only slightly faster but it adds 12 miles to the trip. But for scenery there's no comparison.
So looking forward to that “old barn” stop being open! Just LOVE those old barns, happy to see them when you catch them open. Thanks again for yet another fun road trip, always see new things I didn’t know before. 👍😎🇺🇸🐄🥳
@@briane173 Agree with your 178 assessment, the 58 commentary - not so much. The crazy semi presence and lousy pavement make it way less than ideal. Slow truck eastbound lane way overdue, too.
@@userslickcrownvic Me thinks the State is waiting for an excuse to designate 58 as an Interstate so they only have to put up 10% of the tab for expanding the freeway. That's my assessment and I'm not disagreeing w/you on sharing 2 lanes on one side with slow trucks, especially when one truck passes another coz they're going 35 instead of 25. Drives me nuts.
19:10 On one level it's heartbreaking to see how much development is taking place in Mammoth. I liked it so much better when it was a sleepy hamlet of 800 people that only swelled during ski season; now it's fast becoming Vail West, with bags of money tied up in these mansions and eating up habitat and making a middle-class living there almost unattainable. It's great for developers and contractors; great for the CITY, which I think is the driving force behind all this development -- recovering from their own failures after filing Ch. 10 bankruptcy -- at the hands of a developer no less. It's all about the tax revenue for the town now so I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. I don't know that June Lake is any better after living in Mammoth decades ago; but it still might be a more affordable option for the not-so-rich among us who want to enjoy the same ambience and atmosphere.
Beautiful sunrise! Its tough tonsee all of the new construction, I don't think they are going to be many small quiet mountain towns left anymore. I have a lot in a small development just outside of a little mountain town myself. It borders national forest land so its the closest you can build to the ski resort in that area. The town itself was a sleepy little logging town until the Spotted Owl went on the endangered list and pretty much shut the town down. Right around when COVID hit, people started buying land and homes up, and it's turning into an Airbnb area now and prices have gone up over double what it was. Its sad because people who have lived there for generations are getting priced out and the new buyers don't respect the old culture. Airbnb people come in and leave trash places and trespass a lot. It sucks.
Just drove through the KRC yesterday always a wonderful sight canyon walls and the river running below. Level has dropped down to minimum almost in the river.
I always wondered what the monthly cost of the maintenance on the equipment was. The equipment goes through heavy work daily so i know you have to keep up on it .

Whoa, at 2 min in, beautiful scenery! But that 2 lane road, looked as if a rock slide could happen any moment😮
Nice. Not much traffic
