Just found this video. I’ll be right there mid October. I cannot wait!
It's beautiful!!!
You undersold and overdelivered on the time-lapse!
Hahaha thanks Greg! It wish I got it before it popped over the horizon though! Hope all is well
Its crazy how we can take the beautiful scenery this works has to give for granted. For the record Kevin had it right, best “ none beach” spot so far. Love watching all your content. Keep the memories coming!!!
Right thanks Eric, appreciate it the support! We'll keep em coming for sure
Valley of the gods! Camped right by your spot before. Great camping also at the top of that twisty dirt road in the end of the video.
Utah is beautiful everywhere. No secret. Been to Moab many times
This is where I was on my last trip
Moki Dugway?
My wife and I camped in the same spot! Even watched my wife drive it up the road. It is indeed an amazing spot!
What trail is this?
WOW, that night sky though! Amazing videography skills
I don't blame you for not giving out the location. People are very lazy and don't want to research. Coming from NJ myself, I can't wait to go out west to photograph the Milky Way. Nice job with the timelapse.
Thanks Dante!! It’s so dark out there in Utah, unreal!
It's a perfect spot to watch the milky way. Thanks for sharing.
You got it Chris thanks for watching!
I was entirely unprepared for coming down the [redacted] during my first time driving a full size SUV, alone, afraid of heights, and going a breakneck 10mph and wanting to cry the whole time. 😂 I'm glad I could say I did it though!
You from Jersey, I’m from Jersey. Know all the spots you were at. Haven’t been to that camping spot for over 25 years. I would sure like to stay there this summer which will be the first time I have been out west since COVID. I have a low clearance 2 wheel drive so it’s iffy I will be able to get to that spot this year. But I will definitely try. Nice video editing of the drive
The night pictures were incredible. Wow!!
Thanks Bentley!
Great video and an amazing time lapse on the Milky way.
I drove that road in an open jeep when it was 113 degrees. But that doesn't compare to Taylor driving up it in a van and then Kevin bringing it back down 👏👏👏.
The 2 of you are living life, it is something I have always tried to do and I admire others when I see them doing the same.
Always a thumbs up.
Thank you Jackie!!! That road is gnarly!!!! 113 degrees must have been hot!!!!
great video!! mas looked insane im adding it to my list of places to stay! what was your process of capturing that timelapse of the milkyway it looked amazing! how did you keep the battery full all night?
Wow beautiful video of the Milky Way! Exceeded expectations too!
Thanks Mark!!! Appreciate it 👍🏻
Great spot.
very cool with the drone following you up the road.
Thank you!
I loved this! Thanks for capturing so much beauty!
Thanks Judy!!
Great filming, great driving and another great MOTM!
Thanks Paul!!!!
Great milky way time lapse and probably the most beautiful vid yet ... Awesome guys 😁
Thank you Lucy!
That was an insane gnarly road you climbed!! I love the Milky Way time lapse-so cool!! Man those drone shots are epic!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Chris! Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the drone views. Great video guys!
Thank you Yula!
Holy shit.... that milky way!
Man, you sold me. Thats the first place I want to go…
Stunning location..the Milky Way was something special…
Thank you Steve!!!
amazing to see/be careful going down/do ride brakes too much-they will get hot/nice scenery/thanks much
You got it Ron! Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this. Watched your time lapse a few times. Didn’t envy the drive on that road!
Thank you!!!!
Wow!!!!!! Milky Way was AMAAAAZING!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Babs!!!
Cool timelapse!
That time lapse was one of the sickest ive seen.
Another great vid guys keep em coming Rich from England 🏴
Thank you Rich!!! Appreciate it! 👍🏻
The spot is called Goosenecks. lol. The word is out!
🤐
Super video guys! Your content is getting better and better.
Such a beautiful spot from one of my favorite parts of the world (haven't been there since 2005 unfortunately).
Thank you!!! We’re trying haha!
You got to get back there!! We hope to soon!
All I can say, amazing video.
Thank you!!
👋 hey there! Sweet posting on the cinematography along with the milky way galaxy in the Utes open sky! The Zen from the yings & the yangs across the universe 👀....great turn on! Seems you're headed up north across the country into the great lakes region? Although I recall from the past winter you skied the northwestern mountains? Lol. Guess we'll have to keep following to see the next video🤔🙄👏👍
Thanks Buck! Check us out on Instagram if you want to know where we are in more real time! 🤪 otherwise we’re heading south east!
Way to go Tay, nice driving!
Woot woot!
So Awesome.....Milky way NICE
Great Video! #Vanpaths
BEAUTIFUL
Awesome scenery! Great video
Thanks Dave!
Great video. Love you guys 🍷
Thanks David!!!
I'll guess at Canyonlands National Park or Goosenecks State Park. Was that hill Moki Dugway? Glad to see that you didn't just beat it back NJ
You guys are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country.should invest in some levelling ramps ,always come in handy 😊
Yes we are Rick, the US is so diverse in landscape it’s crazy! Leveling blocks would be nice!!
Love the videos! You should have drove the couple miles out to Muley Point while at the top of the dugway.
Oh no way! there's soo much to see
Wow what a beautiful place to camp ❤️
Right!!!! Thanks for watching!
Just beautiful!
Thank you!
Hello Im Carlos from Caracas Venezuela, great view, I hope yours enjoy a lot.
Hola Carlos! Thank you!!!
Awesome camping spot.
Thanks Dirk!
Awesome spot you guys! I'll definitely be borrowing that pin next time we're in the area! Epic drone shots too, last time I tried to fly around rock spires is when I crashed the drone :(
it was amazing you'll love it!!! rip drone, how's the firmware going?
A few weeks ago we were driving down to Mammoth from Tahoe and stopped to look for your sticker on the guardrail by Mono Lake lookout. We couldn't find it but I saw this blue bag at the end of the guardrail and it was from a dispensary and it was full of weed. LOL
agh damn that was a smaller one of ours we got a bit bigger ones so they're easier to find! yikesss that's crazy!!! haha
Thank you for the Milky Way!
You got it Rose! Thanks for watching
That timelapse made my night. Can I ask what the duration was?
Oh man I’d be lying if i said I remembered
@@MathersOnTheMap HOW DARE YOU, SIR 😂 Safe travels, friends!
He is a good driver
Thanks!
I live in sa
my fav place you've been to - but I am not a beach guy. Just missing a taco stand out there
It’s incredible! Favorite not beach camping spot for sure!
We have the same drone shot form the same spot :)
Such a good spot!
Wow incredible scenery and your filming did it justice. just worked out your $26 of fuel would cost $65 equivalent in the UK!! 🤔 Save up and Come and travel the UK guys it stunning best wishes 👍❤
Thank you!!!! Fuel across the pond is insanely expensive!
I love your all's videos and this is definitely one of my favorites!! I'm just now beginning to get an interest in drones....you make it look so easy, but is it hard flying your drone while you all are driving? Sorry....I'm a pure novice.
Thank you!!!! The technology is so good these days so it’s not too hard! Key is three movements in one 👌🏻
I'm detecting an aura of OCD regarding getting the van level. Is adding an RV auto leveling jack system on the list for the next van refit?
Keep on truckin and above all STAY SAFE! 🚐❤️😷
Haha that would be sweet! That or buying some leveling blocks atleast!!
Always wanted to travel there. My fear is breaking down. It looks like no one will come by to help 😮
You should go! There’s other people around, if you watch the time lapse those moving lights are people driving by.
I'm the first to like
Great video! I just bought a Sprinter van and want to put some windows in on the rear sides like you have. Do you recommend those same motion windows or should I get something else?
These work great unless it’s raining! I know there are vented windows similar to a t-vent that works in the rain. Either way any window that opens is better than no window!!!
Not horseshoes, Goosenecks
🙃😉
Whoops, deleted my previous comment (since it gave away the location and you guys were trying not to say...)next time continue north to 95 (southern edge of Bears Ears) and go south on Combs Wash Rd. The Rift like others in southern Utah is incredible. And also yes, those 2 wash crossings on the west side are challenging even in shorter wheelbase vans and worse when wet. ;) but the "dirt road up the cliff face" is FUN! (more fun when coming from above, don't know it exists and you are going 75...)
Haha thank you Larry for keeping it hush hush! Next time I’ll have to explore your recommendations! So many places in utah!!
What tires did you put on? They looked like they worked great!
BFG KO2!
You're lucky it went when you did I was there in April and the sign Nazis were out and they put out all kinds of no camping signs.
Looks like an amazing spot! Question for you guys… what tire size did you guys choose for your all terrain tires? I just picked up my 170 Sprinter and starting my build and deciding if going bigger than stock size is worth it. A thanks for all your tutorials!
265’s but I’d probably go 245’s if I did it again, cause there’s not much room especially in winter when snow collects in wheel well
@@MathersOnTheMap that’s super helpful. Thank you and safe travels! Hope to cross paths with you when my build is done!
Is that the valley of the Gods Utah
🫣maybe! Haha (yes)
It could well have been Curiosity rover on Mars. The terrain is so mars like. No wonder you Americans are so obsessed with mars. Maybe in 200 years or so you could take a camper van to Valles Marineris 😄😄😄
What camera and settings did you use to get that time-lapse?
Also, I went to your secret spot 2 months ago planning on spending one night/maybe two- I ended up spending 6 nights and didn't even want to leave then. I live in Utah so I can go back when it cools down.
Sony a7iii tamron f2.8 17-28mm
Iso 3600 ish 15sec f2.8
Is this 4x4?
nope!
I’m going to unsubscribe if you don’t dm me the location to that camping site 😝
261?
Did you see Forrest Gump?
a long long time ago!
@@MathersOnTheMap the highway you were on at 2:48 of the video is where they filmed the scene when Forrest decided it was time to go home!!
Hi from Italy, if you visit Italy you are welcome to my house on Como Lake.... Bye 😄😄😄😄😄
Oh my gosh!!! That’s high on Taylor’s bucket list! We want to come!
@@MathersOnTheMap give me your email, I send you my contact details, 👍🏼
Do you have Instagram? Message us there if ya don’t mind
I’m trying to be positive about your blog. Granted, the scenery is beautiful and the time lapse is gorgeous.
To showcase this and refuse to share the site with your fellow man/woman is selfish and juvenile. It’s kind of like taunting; you know, “ na
na na na na……. I got ice cream and you didn’t.” Isn’t this land open and free for all of us? I think you should reconsider. Speaking for myself, I’ll never make it to that spot but would love to know where it is in Utah.
Sharing is caring. (Old hippie mantra!)
😎✌️🤙🤘😎
Appreciate the honesty Diane! There are two sides to the coin for this one and it’s definitely one for debate. I would honestly love to share it with everyone (especially our loyal viewers like yourself)!
But I don’t believe it’s the right thing to do to share this publically. There are so many places that are now over traveled due to social media and RUclips and I don't want to add this spot to the list. I know we're still relatively small but you never know if a video can "pop" and get viewed over a million times so we decided not too.
I don’t necessarily agree that I’m taunting this spot, in fact, there are enough details in the video where someone can figure this spot out, especially going through the comments from other folks and put the clues together.
Anyway hope that helps ya understand where we're coming from.
@@MathersOnTheMap Beautiful spot! I agree with both of you in these comments. While it is taunting especially after you have shared publicly many small and beautiful spots throughout Baja, and choose to not share this one is puzzling. BUT sharing these beautiful spots with people cause them to become trashed by tourism and stripping the raw beauty from nature from these isolated places. Thank you for sharing with us your amazing trip here!
LOL, this spot isn’t hard to find. There are so many clues in other comments. You want them to tuck you into bed at night, too? SMH.
❤The scenery was absolutely Beautiful! Zion Natl. Patk is even more beautiful, so check it out!😊Safe travels!
Thank you!!!!
👈💕
👌🏻
UDAH🤒🤮😷
You found the coolest place mate. But couldn't tell us where it was. You have a great day mate cause I am now that I unsubscribed today. Good luck and be safe on your travels mate and don't be sad. Tell your follers where you are and then you won't be sad mate.
LOL, do you want them to feed you ice cream in Death Valley in the summer too? This place is easy to find if you do a little research. Other commenters have given the location away. These guys don’t owe you anything. SMH.
Appreciate the support @EMo
