    It must be so eery standing on the rim knowing what once happened there. All the explosions, the heat, the magma becoming lava and flowing down to the lower levels consuming all as it slowly works it’s way down hill. Wow, just breathtaking. Great video. Thank you very much.

    Nice video. My son and I hiked Amboy Crater in January 2007 still hot. We went straight up the side as the trails weren't marked very so made our own path up. From there we could pick out the trails so the return trip was pretty much what your approach climb was. The wife and I repeated a visit in 2015 but, didn't attempt the rim...August.

    I finally found your Amboy vid. Excellent! So well made. There are gold mine diggings under the lava flow in the buried dry river. Hard to find but the tunnels were shown on a tv show about gold mining. There is a uranium mine just north east of here along kelbaker rd.

    Down the youtube rabbit hole and I ended up here. Very nice video about the crater! It's one of my favorite spots to photograph in the mojave. A couple years ago I was there and it was 125 degrees in the parking lot. I didn't go more than 50' from the car before heading back. lol

    • @OddityOdysseys

    You started out on a cloudy day and ended on a sunny day. ????

    You guys drove through I-40 and missed Pisgah Crater? It's way darker and otherworldly.
    But great video, and by the quality of your vids, you deserve millions of subs. Keep up the good work and fight the RUclips algorithm.

    Yay, a road trip! When I saw the title at first I thought you were at that famous meteor crater in....Arizona....New Mexico...? Anyway, I think I've driven past this once or twice, but never stopped. Definite kudos to you both for going on that hike, it looked like a serious one. As always, a great video, your channel never disappoints :) Am I correct in assuming the bonus video you mentioned will be an Urban Exploration? Safe Travels, My Friends!

    Funny. I’m a huge fan of the original Journey to the centre of the earth. One of my favourite films when I was a kid. I hiked around the Amboy Crater in 2018 and had no idea about the film connection. Would have made my visit even more special.

    Congratulations on getting your information on Amboy Crater correct! It's been a little while now since Amboy Crater was recategorize as a dormant volcano and not extinct. As funny as it may seem and maybe not to some one or everyone that people who come and visit Amboy crater don't realize that it's dormant and not extinct even now some people still think that it's extinct not realizing that it is indeed dormant! Again, good job on doing your research on Amboy crater and who knows, some people will probably see it erupt again possibly in the next 50 to 70 year's from now?

    "Yep... you can also see nothing..." (5:24) So, when you were saying this, to the south and southwest is actually the Marine Air Ground Combat Center 29 Palms; so now can say you saw the base affectionately known to Marines as 29 Stumps... :)

  • @stevemiller6766
    @stevemiller6766 5 лет назад

    I grew up in 29 palms and for some reason never made the trip out to the crater. There were lava bombs scattered across the desert from one of the eruptions in the long distant past that were cool to find and examine.
