Your walking into Olancha just reminded me of an episode of the The Twilight Zone, A Hundred Yards Over The Rim, where a 49'er walks over a dune into the relatively present day town of Grant.

This series is a hidden gem on RUclips! It has added so much to my enjoyment of Death Valley and the surrounding area.

I find all of Nick's videos entertaining and interesting. Even better, I have learned a lot about desert geology watching his videos. He is quite the adventurer and geologist. I have subscribed and am looking forward to many more videos in the future.

how about use it as neclkess,or ring?

Wait, you packed a wet suit and dry bag in the Mojave desert? Only because you didn't want to break a silly, unenforceable law and had to cross the river twice? Sounds crazy to me.

ain't that a kick in the head

I was there two weeks ago with my geology class and we found some small elongated crystals in between the columnar joints. My professor said it could be tourmaline aka schorl due to the cleavage. I found a small piece of rainbow obsidian by Mono Lake.

At what temperature will ash be converted to welded tuff?

Rewatching this series for the second time.

Plz stop by

God's handiwork is beautiful. Thank you for showing it to us.

Not kilometers, say it in miles! This is mono and inyo counties

I was just camping in the Granite Mountains this last week, Christmas 2023, and it was amazing how wet everything was after this year of rain we have had. Just scratching the sand with your boot exposes very moist soil below, and all of the creeks bore sharp bank edges cut by the recent water flow. Flora and fauna were in full bloom as well.

yo, are you still alive?

Just curious Nick how many kilometers total in the longest trip? And how did your boots/ insoles hold up? i.e., X Kilometers per boots and insoles, over their respective lifetimes.

I enjoyed your walk across the Mojave and these short ones are great too! Big fan, gonna tell my fans. 🤎

13:53 This oversimplification is what draws people into your world of rocks. Just a thought...good video by the way. Subscribed 😁

Man you are awesome & a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. Blessings brother

Amazing project! I saw you in Idaho with Nick Zentner and have enjoyed this trip. I will look into your other videos. I dropped out of Geology when it got to chemistry but I'd like to try again. (At 70 years old:)

awesome

lmao this one is great!

Fascinating, thank you. Beautiful view from up there! Wow …. I should have been a geology major…

I'd say your friends deserted you! For good reason but still disappointing. At my age I just wish I could join you- even though it's a year later lol. (Saw you with Nick Zentner.) Enjoying your journey and Geology content!

I'm curious about the rock you bumped with the Go Pro at about 28:05. Weathered granite? It seems very uniformly bumpy! I'm enjoying your journey and loving the Geology.

What an episode that was! That amazing spring and then the ridge of death and then Death Valley. You are in incredible. This trip makes doing the PCT look like stroll in Central Patk

This is awesome! Crazy adventure with educational geology commentary

Very interesting!

Fault was for sure the last event to occur

“Nice cottonwood tree” as it interrupts our age dating🤣🤣

Explain this in layman’s terms next time bud

very cool man, keep it up

Well done Dr Nick! Found your channel via the "other" Nick from his YT about the 2023 Penrose, your channel here will fill in his quiet periods. Like your style, nice blend of humanity, biology and geology. I'm a California lad, so your focus is more captivating. Reciting Einstein---Wow! Some of your trip was nail-biting; but I've been as crazy in my younger years!

The Gollum comment literally came seconds after I thought "I have to make some clever comment about Frodo and Sam here" :-)

In a situation like this you do what you gotta do

Nice music.

AWESOME" KEEP IT ROCKIN!!!!

Siladenite? Silenitine?

Hi from Bakersfield, caught your U Tube channel from Nick Zentner, thanks for sharing your Mojave journey I enjoy and study western Mojave, Rosemond, Boron, Ridgecrest, Mojave areas, Enjoy reading geo history from this region, especially T.W Dibblee’s documents. Look forward to reviewing your videos, thanks

The breaks in that rock remind me of what I saw the day of the 2 Ridgecrest shocks at the site of the scarps

I used to do mountain bike rides on random paths in the Mojave. Amazing geology and geography, and occasional weird people.

I came via the other Nick… haha. Great video!
