The picket fence story was so compelling and sentimental. A grieving husband keeping a promise made to his beloved wife in the only way he knew how. It's little gems like these that speak to our common humanity and what I most enjoy about your channel. Sincere best wishes in the coming New Year.
Beautiful! I have never seen water so clear in my life! The country out west is so majestic and unspoiled. The clouds? God did that for ya'll to thank you for showing the world his handiwork. I pray no one ever spoils that area. There is so much history there. History I've never heard before, so you and Sarah are educating your viewers. And, Sarah, I have coyotes come up in my yard. I don't really care for them. If you could hear the pack of them running and squealing through the woods at night, you might change your mind.....they sound like banshees!!!!! Thanks again for a wonderful adventure.
I worked for the company that built the engine for the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer, Williams International in Walled Lake, MI. I worked there in the 70s and 80s. Best place I’ve ever worked!
As an easterner I am always amazed at the vast open areas in the west. Thank you for bringing them up close and personal. Happy New Year to you and Sarah.
Thanks Jeff, you have answered so many questions. You make our area a place GREAT to come from. Born in Modesto 1971 and was on the Front Page on the Modesto Bee a couple weeks later. 5 generations and ALL LIVING in Modesto. As a little boy I would go to Waterford quite often. Welch Rd, the Argentini's were my cousins. Small world when we speak to eachother...My Grandma on the other side also settled in Livingston. She past in Turlock a few years back at 99... She called herself a halfbreed, haha. She came from a reservation in Oklahoma. She was friends with the sherriff. One day she asked me if I knew about Pretty Boy Floyd? The famous bank robber? She said with a grin,. "He was my Friend.." He would come to Oklahoma to see his brother. She looke like the gal on the famous poster, she was a. Riveter also! Moved to Seattle and worked with the war effort. Her name is KATIE BURNS, and she was a SCOTTISH Burns the last works she said. Always had a smile and I love her so. I graduated from Beyer in 1990. Thank You once again.
What a beautiful place. I loved all of it. Those clouds were very interesting. I've never seen clouds like that either. Of course, Sarah found animals. Thank you Sarah for the coyote and mentioning the camera shy chipmunk. Have a great New Year.
Boy, did I LOVE this episode! I never get tired of seeing the east side of the Sierra! Always takes my breath away especially in the fall. Thank you for taking me back. My husband and I traversed this beautiful area many times!
There are even hot springs in that area you can dip into. Sarah and I ventured out to one of them, but it was so crowded that we decided we didn’t want to be with a lot of people in the same hot water.
Very scenic episode! Highway 395 in fall is just magic! There are a lot of canyons full of colorful trees to explore! Another one of my favorite places is nearby, not in the Sierras, but in the White Mountains, the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. Those trees are over 4000 years old, one is over 5000 years old. Now that’s a lot of history! I’ve hiked in Devil’s Postpile. The Pacific Crest Trail passes by close to the postpile. There’s a lot to see and do on the “other side” of California! Thank you Jeff and Sarah, as always, well done!
Intriguing natural landscapes and interesting human history. I loved the sound of the wind in the pines towards the end of the episode - very evocative. Thanks for sharing this experience.
One of my favorite episodes so far, I think 🤔. This drive is my absolute favorite. I’ve been away for many years, but will return soon to spend my retirement in my heart home. I’ve never been to Convict Lake and I can’t wait to take my grandkids!! Thanks Jeff and Sarah… I love the chipmunks too!!🐿️
Thank you! This brings back a lot of memories. My wife and I owned a condo in Mammoth in the 90s. I did a lot of skiing, hiking and mountain biking in the 90s and a lot of climbing in the Palisades Glacier area in the 80s. Norman Clyde was pretty much a local legend by then. I enjoyed the segment on him.
Excellent as usual. You go to another of my favorite areas. I backpacked many times around the Minarets and Mt. Ritter, Banner peak, etc. as well as the rest of the Sierra. First time in 1969. I wanted to meet Norman Clyde, but without the internet I couldn't find him before he passed. I love Muir's story of the first accent of Mt. Ritter. At Big Pine is the BEST BBQ I've ever had. Coppertop BBQ. Covid brought awful crowds up from L.A.to the place. I haven't been there since moving to Utah. 2.5 years ago.
I loved the whole episode! I can’t afford to travel much so you guys help me greatly with my need to see our beautiful world and it’s wonders and history! Always love the graves/cemeteries too! Thank you both for sharing your hunts for history!❤-Nina
What better way to end 2023 than with a History Hunters episode. Your pictures of the Minarets as well as the clouds are quite impressive. Looking forward to your 2024 content!
What a beautiful area. The 1800's were much more difficult than today. Back then they just strung you up for murder, today you bond out in hours. I couldn't imagine the harsh winter there. Great episode. Thank you for sharing. Take care Jeff and Sarah. 🇺🇲
Wonderful episode, thoroughly enjoyed the 'tour!' I LOVE driving the 395, there's something magical about the Sierra Nevada and that route gives us the opportunity to see just how special those mountains and their history are! Thanks, Jeff and Sarah!
We’ve spent many summers at Mammoth Lakes, and love fishing, hiking and biking the Eastern Sierras. I’ve mountain biked Mammoth Mountain and the views are amazing on a clear day. Thank you for sharing. Be safe in your travels. Happy Trails!
Thanks, love the view of the minarets and the way the postpile was formed. Just found you recently and watching your videos, I lived and logged in the sierras! You are showing things I didn't know or stuff I learned in grade school and had forgotten!
Thanks Jeff & Sarah! Some very beautiful scenery, I agree with you the 395 area is visually stunning. Dropping down Tioga Pass is beyond words. Thank you again, very much enjoyed this episode, but then again we enjoy them all!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching and the comment. Shhhh, let’s not tell everyone what a beautiful place this is. We wouldn’t want it to be crowded! LOL
Thanks Jeff & Sarah for sharing, Mammoth has it's own beauty that is sometimes over looked by many. Jeff it would be REALLY cool if they made a movie about the convict lake incident. That would be a good western story.👍🤠🇺🇸
My wife and I frequently go camping in the Mammoth Lakes area. I've always loved these areas in the Sierra Nevada's... there's something just so mystical about it! I'm a Jeremiah Johnson type of guy. I'm 49 now... and I think I was born about 120 years too late. Wish I was born around 1860. Great video and thanks for posting!
What a great way to end 2023 with the beautiful scenery of the Mammoth area. I too have never seen clouds like you showed us today. And I'm always looking at clouds and taking pictures as well. What interested me the most was the grave wrapped with a picket fence from a grieving husband. Thank you Jeff and Sarah for all that you do to bring these history lessons to life. Happy New Year! Looking forward to 2024 and what you have in store for us to see next year.
Love the beautiful geologic formations in that area. Spectacular to say the least. Yosemite National Park is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing, Jeff!
My sister and her husband belong to an Austin Healy club and they ran a road rally through all the Sierra passes about the time you went through. Beautiful country and colors. As always thank you for the informative tour.
Beautiful photography this time. Devil's Postpile is always a memory when I first saw it when I went to a Jr. High camp around '66 or '67. There and Bodie ghost town. Then, in my adult years, my job as a cookie rep took me up 395 weekly for 12 years. The driving never got boring. And, I have done some memorable fishing in those lakes and rivers. Thanks for your coverage and background history on those places.🙋♂️❤️🏍💨
Certainly plenty of great scenery to drive which lends to some deep thoughts! Thank you so much for enjoying this! History Hunters is about entertaining and educating!
Thanks for the history on the area. My mother in law climbed either Ritter and or Banner with Norman Clyde, Jules Eichorn, and David Brower back in the 50’s on a Sierra Club outing.
Beautiful! It's been 15 years to the day since I left California, and I love watching your channel because it brings back so many wonderful memories! Thank you both for sharing your adventures with us! My husband and I look forward to watching them together. Happy New Year! 🎉
LOVE it on that side of the Sierra's! Thanks Jeff and Sarah for your vids and all the work you put in. Got my weekly HH "fix"!!! Happy New Year! ~Chris
Jeff, Sarah what an absolutely outstanding video!!!!! I want to go on that trip so bad, what a bucket list adventure!!! Thank you so much for allowing us to travel with you!! You ask which part was the best for me, I have no answer for that, it was all good!!!! Well maybe the fault joke was pretty good!! A great Dad joke! Take care! Tom in Ceres
Thanks for another great history lesson. Jeff, the research you put into these videos is awesome. I don't know how much Sarah helps with all that, but her sense of humor is always welcome. Again, thank you both.
That was truly an awesome and amazing experience. From Criminal Lake to the picket fence and the plane crash. Reminded me of the old California Gold episodes. Learning something new about the state I was born and raised in. Have a wonderful and blessed New Year. Until 2024 goodbye.
Have a great friend who was into hot air ballooning where he met Steve Fosset and they became great friends my friend John ended up working with Steve on many of his exploits including his around the world flight. He was with the crews who looked for him for so long and was devastated when he was found I’d never seen the area where it happened it is nice to know he died in such a lovely place. Thank you!!
Very interesting. Those clouds were beautiful too.Here in Northern Nevada, we get some of the most beautiful sky,sunrises, and sunsets I have ever seen.
The picket fence story was so compelling and sentimental. A grieving husband keeping a promise made to his beloved wife in the only way he knew how. It's little gems like these that speak to our common humanity and what I most enjoy about your channel. Sincere best wishes in the coming New Year.
I love the 395 corridor. It's one of my fondest memories. I want to go back someday. Nice job.
Thanks! Such a gorgeous place!
Nothing better than History Hunters, a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning! Thanks Jeff.
And I thought the best part of waking up was Folgers in your cup. Lol.
@@jbenziggy HaHaHa
Make mine tea, please! 😉

Beautiful vistas.
They are indeed! We were glad to find it!
Some of my favorite views. The desert landscape takes my breath away.
It is gorgeous there!!
The scenery
Thank you for showing me the beauty of this place. I know I will never have the chance to see it for myself. You know all the good places.
Thanks for taking us all along!
Happy to hear that you enjoyed!
I worked for the company that built the engine for the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer, Williams International in Walled Lake, MI. I worked there in the 70s and 80s. Best place I’ve ever worked!
As an easterner I am always amazed at the vast open areas in the west. Thank you for bringing them up close and personal.

Same. So thankful for men like Muir and President Roosevelt. Natural beauty conserved for all to marvel.
Wonderful scenic episode

The whole landscape is very serene with ton of serenity.
It's one of my new favorite spots! I could have spent more time there!
Happy New Year from Michigan. 1:16
Convict Lake is beautiful. The hike around it is awesome.
Happy New year
Happy new year!
Enjoyed

Beautiful Country.
We agree!
It was all very enjoyable and interesting.
Makes me happy knowing that, Bob! Thanks!
Mammoth is one of my favorite places for outdoor recreation.... great history.
It’s a special place to us too!
Love watching your adventures in California with Sarah. Nancy
Simply beautiful!
Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing.☮️💖🎶
Thanks for visiting!!!
In all of my travels throughout CA I have never went up 395 to see that beautiful stretch of country, A Springtime Road Trip is in the making.
There are even hot springs in that area you can dip into. Sarah and I ventured out to one of them, but it was so crowded that we decided we didn’t want to be with a lot of people in the same hot water.
You mean to tell me that you don't want to take a bath with a bunch of strangers😁@@jbenziggy
My family used to vacation at Mammoth Lakes every summer. We visited all these places many times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Love you guys!
Thank you so much!
God's Country, I hope it never changes. There is so much to see and enjoy in that area. Thanks for a great tour.
Thank you, Jeff and Sarah. Very interesting. 😮❤
Our pleasure! So happy that you liked this!
Love the backside of the Sierras, my grandmother spent the last 25 of her 101 years in Bishop.
Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thank you Jeff and Sarah for great and informative videos🎉🎉🎉 1:23

That area never disappoints. Thanks for sharing.
Been to all these spots. Took those times for granted. Thanks Jeff and Sarah!
Breathtakingly “spectacular”!
I would agree with you!
Some stunning scenery in the episode. Beautiful cloud formation.
I was amazed to see them! Thanks for also appreciating them!
👍👍👍 Have a Happy New Year's
Love the 395 and the history along it!

Lucky you if you mean you will be living there! Thank you for enjoying this video. Did you see the one we did on the Laws Station Museum in Bishop?
@@jbenziggy Retiring to my home in Reno!! I'll be watching that episode tonight!!
I love everything on 395. such neat natural wonders and historic sites and now I have another grave to look for. Thank you
Our pleasure!

Amazing skies. Thank you J & S!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Everything was so beautiful!!

Cool looking clouds

Very interesting. Those clouds were beautiful too.Here in Northern Nevada, we get some of the most beautiful sky,sunrises, and sunsets I have ever seen.
