A great man. Doing what he loves. In his element. No words. No reports. No accidents. The silence speaks volumes! Thanks Juan for this great video showing us just how much you love to fly!💕🇨🇦
Wow, flown over the NW and California for 50 years and never seen anything like it! I would say that Northern California in many ways is one of the most special places in the world, not just for geography but history, climate and the quality of life it offered when I was growing up. An average person who worked hard could afford a nice home, ranch, an airplane and could afford to enjoy it. Fresh food, clean air, water. little crime and a lot of good, honest people. I always hoped to be able to enjoy that dream, at least I can still enjoy the dream and admire those like Juan who share it with us. Thanks Juan!
Every time I want to just pack up and leave California, I drive around and marvel at its beauty and realize that I'll never leave. It remains the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Great video, Juan.
I have to agree Owe Jay. I haven't lived in CA for over thirty years but it is stunning. Our last trip was to Petaluma and along the Russian River to the coast. I just said to my wife while watching this, "this is why some people will never leave CA, you know one day the unbelievable beauty will just pop up and you have to be there to see it as it does not last long." I have seen the raging rivers and the desert in bloom as a visitor. I consider myself extremely lucky to have experienced that level of natural beauty.
Spent a weekend in West Wendover, Nv. Good gentle rain Friday afternoon. By Sunday morning the Great Salt desert was showing off it colors. Lovely, lovely, lovely 🌺
Years ago when I was in the USMC in 29 Palms we had a few weeks of wet weather, the Joshua Tree national forest went into a super bloom, which was an amazing event, cactuses of all types were blooming, and fields of white and yellow flowers everywhere.
@@williambarry8015 It was back in 1991 and I was shooting film, I shot over 30 rolls in a few days. it is a joy to behold! and expensive to get the film developed.
In the early part of 1964 an unusual heavy rain occurred that soaked the area east of the range that was east of San Diego. We took a drive through that area and noticed millions of tiny flowers in areas that were normally quite dry. It was not as dramatic as the aerial view you showed here, but is was noteworthy. The desert can be an interesting place. Well done, Juan.
So beautiful. Thank you for the ride my friend. And thanks again for reminding us that everything doesn't need a narrator, the music by itself was just perfect. Your skills as a video creator demand an acknowledgement.
Haha Thanks Juan...Here in Western NY last weekend it was in the 80's...by Tuesday this week it was snowing...yup it's Spring in NY. Life is great isn't it!
I worked on the first large solar farm in California City from late 2010 to the fall of 2013. Never saw a bloom like that. We got dust storms from Soda lake that were so bad we had to shut down the Job. Thanks for the video Juan.
Beautiful video, Juan! Thanks for sharing California with a Cali native living overseas. And I'm amazed at how tiny that runway was at the end. Nice landing.
What a beautiful state. I lived there for 45 years, but finally had to leave. Fortunately, we've gotten enough rain here in Central Texas to get some very nice wildflowers this spring, too. But I do miss the poppies.
Has your mom ever had a look at Nick Zentner's geology videos from Central Washington University? They are Washington-centric, but he, as a professor of geology, does a great job of introducing and expanding on all things geological to be found there...and that's a lot. During the pandemic, when the university was closed, he did 5 videos a week from his back yard for a semester, then cut it down to 3 per week. He has let us (RUclips watchers) sit in on his classes and field trips, and has put together some great A to Z series (26 videos over 13 weeks), on such topics as exotic terrains and the Baja-British Columbia puzzle.
Juan, thanks so much for sharing your trip! You're gonna have to head over to Saline Valley and try out the Chicken Strip as well as soaking in some very nice pools.
Thanks Juan! While so many actively work to turn California into a cesspool, you work so very very hard to show its many diverse beauties. Keep up the great work!
I'm an east coaster and the few times I've been able to get to california it's been a dull yellow, a beautiful dull yellow, but dead nonetheless. This looks incredible, thank you for sharing
A BIG thank you for another very enjoyable glimpse of 'over there' JB. Oh for such empty spaces... These are much appreciated this side and bring a little light relief from our cold grey drizzle.. Talking of which, the shot of you leaving the office tells me you found that bush first! Long may you enjoy your life 'Happy Man'...
As a Native born and raised in Calif. I can think of several reasons to not like California🤔 but the Poppy bloom in Spring over shadows most all of that,...... and best viewed from aloft.👍👍👍.
Do you still feel the magic when you first break the bounds of Earth and fly like a bird? For me there was always "that" moment. Sailing is similar. you shut down the motor and pull a couple of ropes, the wind raps you in it's arms and flys you across the water. Pure magic.
Get a good look. In two weeks, that will be solid brown. Panoche is the back route from Los Banos to Hollister and a great day trip this time of year. I've had too many good times at Panoche Inn to count. Slept in the pickup more than once rather than drive. You want to know what the middle of no where actually looks like, take a ride.
Tulare Lake Flyover Next! Stay Tuned...!
@@silasmarner7586 poppies!
It would moderate the climate like the old days if that lake came back.
@@silasmarner7586 A lot of it would be black mustard for the invasive side. Lots of
native goldfields though too
@@silasmarner7586 Goldfields probably. Poppies are more orange.
Lupine, goldfield and poppy. Now I know what to do this weekend.
It's nice to see you taking time to stop and smell the roses. Thanks for bringing us along.

Visit the Smoky Mountains. The first touristy thing I saw leaving California.
Kalifornia has been ruined. Like Oregon and WA State. And yes I spell it with a “K”. Makes all the commies there more comfortable.
Agree 100. I look at as my job to try to save this state for my grandkids. Born and raised here.
Some of us didn’t have a choice. Prop 13 is a disaster and it’s only getting worse the longer time goes on.
Turns out that plants like water!
Makes for beautiful scenery ♥️🌷

From shoveling snow to a Sydney beach to miles of wildflowers - many thanks Juan for sharing your amazing last few weeks!
Thanks for the “fly along” Juan! Nice sound track to go along with beautiful scenery!

Glad to hear you Spazzed out, on the tunez, Juan.!

I don't know if its equal to what you saw but right now everything is blooming like crazy in the JT area. Fields of yellow flowers everywhere.

Great footage Juan! Thanks for heading all the way down there to bring us these amazing shots. Truly gorgeous.
Stupendous. Always good to take a break to smell the flowers. Thank you for this unique view of California.

Looks like the mountains are happy this year, Rivers of gold.Thank you again for the beautiful views . take care from nord Minnesota
Thanks a lot for sharing this, brilliant, missing California a lot! Cheers 👍🌞
Bejeweled with gold, and chains of silver Thanks, Juan
I remember this use to happen more often when I was younger after a big rainy season.
Thanks Juan! Spectacularly beautiful!
I worked on the first large solar farm in California City from late 2010 to the fall of 2013. Never saw a bloom like that. We got dust storms from Soda lake that were so bad we had to shut down the Job. Thanks for the video Juan.
all that water brings life the lands are happy happy to see relief from the drought in cali
Wow! Beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing.
How stunningly beautiful our state is! Thank you for sharing!
You have the soul of an airman Juan. Just like my 4 generations of flying family....I see them in you. 👍🙏 Joy...
Beautiful... thanks for sharing the great view.
Georgeous. The hills look like a Rose Parade float.
Thank you so much for this. For a moment, forgotten were the floods, droughts, endless rain, incredible snow falls…..beautiful musical accompaniment 😇
Thanks for sharing the natural beauty
Yellow blanket like a light snow. Sweet footage old man.
Wonderful video. The sights and sounds (music) were beautiful. A bird's eye view
Seeing it from the roadside is nice but from the air it's accually hypnotizing. What a beautiful sight. Thanks for taking us along Juan.
Thanks Juan, that was Beautiful ! Great spring greenery.
How beautiful! What a world! Thank you once again.
Beautiful video, Juan! Thanks for sharing California with a Cali native living overseas. And I'm amazed at how tiny that runway was at the end. Nice landing.
That's beautiful Juan. Thank you for sharing!
Great journey. Thank you.
A rainy winter makes for a beautiful CA spring and a fuel heavy fire season.
Thank you Mr. Brown, for taking us along for the ride! It was a beautiful sight to see!
What a beautiful state. I lived there for 45 years, but finally had to leave. Fortunately, we've gotten enough rain here in Central Texas to get some very nice wildflowers this spring, too. But I do miss the poppies.
Shared with my mom, who loves plants AND geology... I think she's read 'Assembling California' 4 times. Marvelous views, thanks from both of us, Juan!
I don't think I have ever read a bad book by John McPhee.
Has your mom ever had a look at Nick Zentner's geology videos from Central Washington University?

Juan, you made my day.
Truly fun to see your part of the world through your unique perspective and POV.
Thanks
Stay safe!
It felt like he took us along with him and we are in very capable hands, California is beautiful! 👍🇺🇸🇨🇦
Incredible video. It's been many years since I have flown In Northern California.
Thanks for adding the location tags…..neat tour. 👍
Wow, beautiful footage. Thank you for sharing!
I've watched alot of your stuff since 2017. And its all been excellent. 🤘
But this was frikken amazing ! Thanks for sharing 😊
Awesome video! Thx . Miss California
OMG Juan makes me pine away for the days flying my 7GCBC Citabria with the doors off over Lake Champlain, Vermont & northern New England. NICE!!!
Nothing like take off and landings on a dirt strip. Brings back good memories
Very cool. Always Spent Easter in North Edwards Ca haven’t seen flowers like this year in a long time.
Thanks for the flight, wonderful scenery.
We were driving in the monument on Elkhorn road about a month ago. It is even more beautiful now!
I’ve never been to California, but this makes me want to visit!
Thanks for filming and editing this video of your Carrizo trip with the beautiful flowers and geology
Beautiful video. (And my wife loves the tune you paired with it, too) 👍
Was lucky enough to fly over the area last Monday. What a year it's been!
Juan, thanks so much for sharing your trip! You're gonna have to head over to Saline Valley and try out the Chicken Strip as well as soaking in some very nice pools.
Fantastic video of a perspective not often seen!
Only one thing to say: WOW!! I am going to paint that!!
Thanks Juan!!!
Sharing what you see in the air is great! Especially this super bloom year.
Nice choice of music, too.
Beautiful, Juan! Thanks for letting us be your ballast. The music was good too, very appropriate, IMO.
Wow. Spectacular Juan. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you for this.
Thanks Juan! While so many actively work to turn California into a cesspool, you work so very very hard to show its many diverse beauties. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful JB. Thanks for your time in taking us on this flight.
Looked like the "reflection" of the Husky on the ground.
Take care and fly safe. 🖖🏼🤟🏼
Sometimes the simplest videos are the best ❤
Something you can only truly appreciate from an airplane! Thanks so much for sharing!
I feel spoiled. You let us see what most Californians never see. I loved it ❤
They best seat in the house ! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Juan for bringing us along on your adventures
The bees are happy... Check out Happy Camp road and Figuroa Mountain in Santa Ynez valley.. Loads of poppies...
Thanks for sharing the spectacular vista. Much appreciated!
Some dare to dream. You live the dream.
Stay safe my friend!
My heart says it's beautiful. My sneezing nose says it's not. Thanks for the flight Juan. Enjoy your blue plate special.
Great stuff Juan. Thank you for the ride along. Beautiful.
With water, the desert blooms. Beautiful. Thanks Juan, can't wait for the next one.
I'm an east coaster and the few times I've been able to get to california it's been a dull yellow, a beautiful dull yellow, but dead nonetheless. This looks incredible, thank you for sharing
I just did bungees on my buddies A-1. Super easy! When the time comes that you need em, I’ll fly up from Vegas and help ya!
Thanks for the Birds Eye tour Juan! The San Andreas looks awesome covered in yellow!
Thank you sir. Good luck.
A BIG thank you for another very enjoyable glimpse of 'over there' JB. Oh for such empty spaces... These are much appreciated this side and bring a little light relief from our cold grey drizzle.. Talking of which, the shot of you leaving the office tells me you found that bush first! Long may you enjoy your life 'Happy Man'...
Thanks Juan.
If anyone created scenery like that for a flight sim they would be laughed out of the industry for being unrealistic with their colors. So beautiful!
Beautiful color ~ interesting journey. Thanks for sharing.
Juan Thank You
As a Native born and raised in Calif. I can think of several reasons to not like California🤔 but the Poppy bloom in Spring over shadows most all of that,...... and best viewed from aloft.👍👍👍.
Thanks for the tour.. Beautiful Landscapes and a sweet touchdown.. 👍✌🇨🇦
Beautiful shots ……amazing what beauty is hidden during drought and appears so magnificently from all the rains
Thanks, Juan! I enjoy and appreciate all of your videos...but, I really loved this one!
Look at you giving it that right rudder on takeoff like you are a pro. So glad you are a great person. Thx from your admirer. Beautiful
Do you still feel the magic when you first break the bounds of Earth and fly like a bird? For me there was always "that" moment. Sailing is similar. you shut down the motor and pull a couple of ropes, the wind raps you in it's arms and flys you across the water. Pure magic.
That's gotta be a real tricky landing on the dirt Juan? & you nailed it like a 4 stripe Captain. Love the scenery btw. 😊
It's not about getting from A to Z. :) What a beautiful memory!
Thanks for the ride,much appreciated
Get a good look. In two weeks, that will be solid brown. Panoche is the back route from Los Banos to Hollister and a great day trip this time of year. I've had too many good times at Panoche Inn to count. Slept in the pickup more than once rather than drive. You want to know what the middle of no where actually looks like, take a ride.
Bloomin' lovely. 🌻🥀
