All the Way Around the Salton Sea

Join us as we go on an overlanding adventure and take our jeep with its rooftop tent to explore the less known parts of the Salton Sea. We explore the surrounding canals, a secret oasis, the Eagle Mountain Trestle, Bombay Beach, Slab City, and eventually end up in the amazing Sandstone Canyon of Anza Borrego State Park. Come along!
This is my first foray into making longer content...I've been making 10-12 minute videos for a while now, but have realized there is so much more you can say in the longer video...let me know what you think of it!

    Super excited to share this longer-format video of our adventure! With so much extra content, I knew this wouldn't squish into a 15 minute video, so here it is, our Salton Sea adventure! Hope you enjoy it, if so, check out our recent trip to Anza Borrego where we talk more about the formation of Sandstone Canyon here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y3eXy8OPd7jJqqw.html

    This was a refreshing take on the typical Salton Sea trip. Most videos are negative, this was positive and upbeat. Loved the camping and your friends meeting up. Never seen those areas in a Salton Sea video, The steak and hash browns sure looked good. Great to see families out spending time together. And you saved a Benz from the sand. Hello from NC.

    Great video, have you ever camped at the end of Sand stone Canyon? I've seen several people camp there. That would be a epic spot to camp. About the only thing I don't like about Fish creek is the washboard road. Aside from that, the place is awesome to explorer.

    The only water flowing into the sea other than the occasional flash flood is the runoff from the irrigation, which is pretty regulated. It got a bit more water than usual because it was raining in the desert around it, but not like the rest of California’s reservoirs that drain on the ocean side or from the mountains

    That is a modular snorkel from rugged ridge. At that level, it doesn’t really add lunch to the water, fording depth, but it does function as a cold air intake. If you look at some of my pictures on Instagram or other videos, you can see when I had the snorkel actually fitted onto it.
