River Dammed By Lava Then Disappeared - Fossil Falls, California

  • Camping at Fossil Falls campground for FREE!! Fossil Falls itself is really fascinating.
    Fossil Falls is just off 395 in California. This is a really fascinating place where the Owens River carved through a lava dam millennia ago and created a double falls. It sculpted the lava rocks into incredible sculptures that really captivated me. I also camped in the adjacent campground for free. Definitely visit if you're in the area.
    I'm Bex and I live full-time in my tiny RV camper. I make home movies about camping, hiking, tiny living, solar and power generation and everything to do with RV life. All my power comes from the sun and solar power. I enjoy simple camp cooking and being outdoors.

    This area reminds me so much of some of the pictures of Mars that the rovers have sent back to us. Dry river beds and lava flows, cinder mountains and windstorms, and a stark barren landscape. Thank you Bex for sharing another 'oeuvre d'art'.

    I believe a old type filmmakers trick is to put a sock over the microphone to cut down the static noise caused by the wind.

      @BexCatherder  2 года назад +1

      I have a dead cat on my mic but I think the mic connection on the camera itself is faulty. I'm going to try to tape it down in a future wind storm and see if that helps. Thanks for watching! :-)

It's a 13 foot trailer no bathroom right? I have a 17 foot Casita with a bathroom and closet.looks just like a Scamp.
