I know I've said it before & pretty sure I'll be saying this a lot more as well: Thank You for keeping your vids as real & Natural as you do. No music drowning out what we would be hearing like we're actually in the vehicles with you. Get to hear the rattling & squeaking of the trucks, the rough roads & what tops it off is hearing the chattering between everyone. Oh yeah & No Damn Music (Sorry that one slipped out) 18:16 swear that looks like a Fault Line on the right side. LOL Was expecting a cow to lift up a hoof wanting to hitch hike for a second the way it turned & looked at ya. Yeah the angle of the sun & dust sure did change the visibility real fast. Thanks Again for taking us on this Lovely ride with y'all.
Thanks! Yeah, I've decided to leave music (and voice overs, thus the burned subtitles) off these closer look videos. While I do use some music on the trip videos, I'm not producing music videos, so avoid playing songs the entire video. I also find that annoying. And during trips I ask the crew to not play music or commercial radio while recording to avoid copyright issues. Or, if they do, to provide me some recordings at different speeds and surfaces that I can dub over tracks with music. However, there are times during a trip when we're just kind of grooving along and some music seems perfect. So, there are a few times where I try to replicate that feeling for viewers with a couple minutes of music. I might have done that three or four times in all of my videos. I'd be interested to know what you thought of that, if you remember it. Did I succeed, or were you just annoyed? There's one such stretch in one of the recent COBDR videos. Finally, I do love capturing the radio chatter. Some I do dub out: Discussion of setting up a camera shot, when we're talking about activities or people unrelated to the trip, etc. I am considering ways I might record the chatter on a clean sound track so that I can add better background audio for shots such as from the drone. So, maybe someday you'll see some improvement on those.
Beaver, UT brings to mind a couple stories. First, years ago when I was in USAF, I had returned from serving in Vietnam War and was moving to Hill AFB (Ogden). I had a brand new 1973 Plymouth Duster and was towing a trailer with some of our household goods that had been in San Diego. In Beaver, this super helpful young man came out and gave my Duster the full going over--checking oil, cleaning windshield, etc. He then looked under the car and delivered the bad news: "Sir, see the way those rub marks are above your rear axle? That's because your rear axle shocks are shot." I wasn't stupid enough to fall for it, despite his insistence that it was a dangerous situation. A couple weeks later the SLC newspaper had an article about folks being ripped off in Beaver by that gas station. Second, was after a failed first attempt a year or two earlier, I was able to drive over the mountains from Beaver when headed back to OKC. It was a great drive through some beautiful meadows and down a windy dirt road on the east side. I think it was the return from the Solar Eclipse Expedition, and you can find video of that crossing in that series.
@@DxDOverland Yes I watched that one also. Most in Beaver were/are hard working people but any community can have a bad one but in that town when dad was there the bad ones did not last. For me the trips there to visit were priceless now!
@@DxDOverland Not at all as I have had similar experiences. I was only saying people like that do not last long in the small towns. In no way did I take it as anything against the town or it's people, I have watched/listened to too many of your videos to feel that way.
I am so glad I found this video. We are a couple of seniors that are heading to see all the Utah parks on May 3rd. I have debated about doing this road but after seeing your video, I am thinking in our rental car that we need to make the decision to NOT drive this road. I noticed the kind of vehicles you all are driving and wow, that washboard thing would get old after while, that is for sure. Great video. I enjoyed your drone footage a lot.
Thanks, Carol. Just FYI, if you heard about the two Utah hikers who died during a flash flood event in a slot canyon a couple days ago, they were just off this road. I am uncertain of the condition of the route after the bout of bad weather the area has had. But you used this video for exactly the reason I created it: Allow folks to decide if they should drive it. Here is a document you may wish to look at ... www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2022-01/GSENM-Road-Condition-Report.pdf Safe travels whatever your decisions may be.
Exceptionally awesome geology along the right (17:49). Though pretty much all scenery was spectacular. I'd be lagging at least half a day behind at my off pavement speeds, plus stops to take in many of the sights.
But think of all the cool sights you might discover! BTW, at the spur for Grosvenor Arch, which is along this route, there's a big sign saying that the section going past the arch parking lot DOES NOT go to the highway. Leave a crumb trail and that could be a cool place to explore.

Keep up the Great Work@@DxDOverland
Been there --one of my best road trips.
That entire area, both the Arizona Strip and southern Utah, is a treasure.
Very good drone tracking. Thanks
You're welcome and thank you.
My dad lived in Beaver Utah, that state has an abundance of beautiful and interesting back road sites! Again nice video made breakfast more enjoyable!

I hope you don't think I meant to disparage the townfolk. It was just one incident with one person (or maybe one business, at most).

Go ahead--I did it at 70.
Exceptionally awesome geology along the right (17:49). Though pretty much all scenery was spectacular. I'd be lagging at least half a day behind at my off pavement speeds, plus stops to take in many of the sights.
Indeed, that scene was pretty mind blowing when we came up on it.
@@DxDOverland Agreed. An also incredible view is from the top of the hills while hiking to Yellow Rock. Love this place.
My favorite shortcut when heading p to Bryce or Escalante. A great drive! Thanks for doing an in-depth look.
You're welcome. I can see why you drive that way.
Nice work Mark. Really liked the drone footage. When’s your next excursion?
Thanks, Jeff. If everything goes as planned, expect some exciting teaser footage in September.
Guy parked on the side of the road was hiking the narrows most likely.
Interesting. We would see a lot of obvious hikers along the next section of road (not in this video), House Rock Road.
"non waver" lmao!!
Don’t follow me --I’m lost.
