    I play so much GTA V that I just know Bombay is actually Sandy Shores in GTA V. I was wondering why it looked so familiar.

    I like these types of videos. It seems like everyone is doing the same type of content now a days. Going to the unique spots like this are always a treat. Interacting with the locals and hearing their stories are the memories that will last a life time. The toast yeating it's self out of the toaster had me laughing by the way.

      Ryan the new thing that your doing when talking to the locals is awesome it give us viewers an intimate idea of the little places use people will never see plus when you talk you make use feel like we are right there with you I have watched plenty of van life and they don't talk so your evolving with theys videos pretty well bro I'd like to see you check out tombstone and get your take on it have a good one

    The Salton Sea is just the most recent infilling of that playa that happened when settlers diverted the river, but in general it is not a man made lake. Before this infilling it was Ancient Lake Cahuilla which was much larger covering most of the Imperial Valley and the eastern part of the Coachella Valley. It has filled and drained at least three times in history and you can see the water level line on the mountains on Ave 66 in Indio. You are on Cahuilla land. Their precontact fish traps are still there in the rocks and many people live on the Torres Martinez Reservation nearby. The toxicity in the lake is from decades of agricultural run off, not the salt. It’s an important and amazing place!

    My name is Gary I was watching your video and saw that letter from Jack Kerouac. I am his second cousin, he passed when I was 8 months. Hope you read that. He had some pearls, let me tell ya.
    I’m a writer, not so good and a traveler just as jack was.
    That’s amazing that I got to see you visit with part of him in my heart.
    He’d be flabbergasted himself that people haven’t forgotten him.

I won't say give up on the beard, but right now is just not the time. enjoy the full head of hair you have. I can almost guarantee in a couple of years from now it's gonna look great. but get your self a Braun Series 9 and just keep it clean for the time being. Keep the stash obviously but the rest is a distraction. Can't wait to see the next adventure and thank you for the great videos. Much love!

    nice job! so far i have been to all of the places in the desert videos! i started going to the sea when i was three years old! 1961 until the 90's dad loved the fishing! the smell is from the lack of the out flow and at about 15 million years ago was the tip of the Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California and the line on the mountains along HWY 86 is sea level and in the late 70s was 254 ft below sea level!

    Love your videos, Ryan! Just a tip for when you're slicing things: if you put a damp paper towel or napkin under your cutting board, it will anchor the board to the countertop so it doesn't slide around while you're cutting. Much safer. I saw the video where you cut your thumb and I swear I almost felt it!
