I’ve never been to the travertine pools in my 60 years of camping the eastern Sierra. And , good to know about the dispersed camping. Don’t forget to pick up after your dog. Not good to leave it out there. Thanks for the video.
Owens River Road! I am definitely keeping this one in mind for my next 395 adventure, looks stunning! And you guys were even watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off, now I like your channel even more!
I'm glad I found your channel. Good videography and interesting content. We traveled that highway back in 2018. We didn't boondock (we're such losers!) but we thoroughly enjoyed the entire drive. New sub and I should mention that your speaking voice is spot on. I get frustrated with today's kids who talk way faster than my brain can process!
Your video popped up and it was perfect to watch tonight. I love the Sierras SR 395 i think its time for a couple of days up there and throw out a lure or two at my favorite fishing spots. And check out that Owen's river road area maybe kick back for a couple hours. And continue the drive north towards Reno🤔 Feeling a little Cabin fever coming on 🤒. I Will be viewing some more of the videos. ✌️out & Safe travels.
I have subscribed! You have an excellent way of enunciating, elaborating/describing what you have seen. You're videos are very well edited and have excellent content. Thank you and your husband for taking me along your journey down highway 395. It is one of my personal greats since I spent years there in early '60's as a child. Now, of-course life has changed there too, with many more people esp through social media having discovered the local scene. I keep my "fingers crossed" the new generation tries to keep these treasures trash free. Thank you. A+
Oh my! Your words are so uplifting and definitely inspire me to keep doing this RUclips thing. I have faint memories of traveling 395 with my parents on road trips when I was a child in the 70s. That is one of the reasons I enjoy traveling along the Eastern Sierra scenic byway - personal nostalgia. So I totally understand your love of it and wanting it to remain pristine and respected by future generations. I would like to go back to 395 more often as it has a special magical quality that feeds my soul. I also love the beautiful mountain passes that branch off of it. Thank you so much for subscribing, and I hope I will produce more videos that make you feel this way. 😊
I can not agree with you more.........In fact, I agree with you 100%. My parents escaped the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 and had a legal admit into the States. They had a family friend as well who was also an emigrant from Hungary, having escaped Soviet Communist tyranny. A long story short,..........their friends had a small "take out" called "The Shack" in Mammoth when they had only one ski lift in operation (1961). As a family, we went there and to the Bishop area, spent many years there during my early childhood. It is a magical place, where hot springs abound, where the White Mountains and the Sierra's meet the high desert - a spectacular area for an outdoorsman/woman. Like you, I have lots of fond memories of the area and I will be back perhaps in January/February to escape Washington's cold spell as a "snow bird" with my four legged wonder; Kodiak. A Bella Bella Canadian wolf dog. Thank you for all you and your husband do here. Please keep posting away. "5 Stars"............@@NixAdventrex
Appreciated this video as I plan a trip there in a couple weeks. Any access issues on Owens Road? I have a 4 Runner towing a 17 foot Winnebago trailer. Thanks!
I absolutely love the town of Bridgeport and Bodie! Stayed in the Bodie hotel many years ago. I am doing another trip up that way this summer and I plan on doing some dispersed camping in places I have always driven by but never camped at. I not only have Travertine Hot Springs on the list, but Fales as well. I saw all the cars, but the pool was empty. How crowded was it?
It really was. Especially considering we saw SO MANY other people camping in the area. BUT there are so many camp spots and very well spread-out. You can be isolated and have that peacefulness you mentioned.
Hi Nix, sorry for my bad english, i'm french ;) Thanks for your great videos they are really interesting. What is the name of the gas tripod you use to cook your meat? Where can you buy this type of cooking item? in this video ? Where can you buy this type of cooking item ? Thanks to answer me, has soon... Regards
Hello! That cooking item is called a skottle. The brand we have is from Tembo Tusk, but I’m sure you can buy other similar brands on Amazon. We really love it.
Owens River Road is close to Mammoth Lakes right off of US 395. I don’t remember our exact camping spot, but there are LOADS of dirt roads that splinter off of Owens River Road where you can camp. And it’s quite spread out so you won’t be on top of other campers. I have Google coordinates to where Owens River Road and US 395 meet: maps.app.goo.gl/iKJNN7QBcopDaG5CA?g_st=ic
No matter how many times I traveled the 395/owens valley,it's always new and to be explored.
I never ever gassed up in Bridgeport. The most expensive gas between Mojave and Reno

That place she went yo first is such a cool place. Even if you’re just there for a drink.

I definitely recommend that course of action! Get out there before winter hits! I love 395!
Thanks for the tips, and great ideas to do at your locations
Thanks for stopping by and watching. 😊
In the Sierra's...drinkin' "The Elder!!" Perfect.
I would definitely say that Pliny the Elder pairs quite nicely with dispersed camping in the Eastern Sierra Nevada! :)
An enjoyable video, nice scenery with good commentary.....take care
Thank you so much for stopping by and watching. 🙂
You should have driven the loop & saw the massive water fall with the Big Melt we have due to the Heavy snow Fall from this winter
Sorry I missed that! When I drove past the North loop entrance I kinda thought maybe I should’ve started there.
What's the name of the waterfall?
I don't know it off hand but you can see it from June Lake loop Road
HorseTail Falls
Kudos for sharing the video/locations, but more importantly for drinking a legendary beer like Pliny the Elder in such a beautiful location 🍻
Pliny the Elder pairs quite well with camping in the beautiful Sierra Nevada. ☺️🍺 Thanks for watching!

Hello! Always nice to meet fellow RUclipsrs/explorers! Wow, some gorgeous scenery over there! Beautiful camping spot! Nice camping adventure! 💙Terry and Terri
Thanks for stopping by! Happy adventuring! :)
@@NixAdventrex You are very welcome!

Highly recommend going to the other pools at travertine. It's a great soaking spot.
Absolutely. We wanted to go to the other pools, but those were occupied. Definitely need to go back!
HI! New subscriber here. Lovely video. I look forward to seeing more!

Doggie looked Happy 🐕🐕🦺
Nice peaceful camp🌲🦌🏕️

Love the scottle 👍
We love our skottle! Makes every camping meal fun and tasty!
I have adventure scottle I love it 👍
can you park close to the river?
What were you speaking into,reg cellphones dont work in that area?
We have 2 way radios, like "walkie talkies" which we use to communicate with when take 2 cars on a road trip. Much better than using a cell phone.
✨🏆✨LIVING LIFE✨🙌🏼✨
Great video. How do you like your Scottle for cooking meals?
Love it! It is such a great tool for the camping experience! 10 out of 10 😊
