Yes- not much for any reliable water there...interesting to find that seep/ small spring there. I will remember that for future hikes there as a possible water source. Thanks for watching.

WOW! That place is beautiful. Thank you for bringing us along with you. When you woke up in the middle of the night with the wind blowing like crazy, I thought, "Oh, No, not again. Bahahaha. Thank God you were able to move the tent to a better spot. I'm so loving your channel. Thank you, bunches. 🤗 HUGS 🤗

Chris !!!!! That was soooo awesome !!!! That’s one of the coolest spots you have been in a while, (IMO), I loved the columns where you stayed, so neat, when you showed them when you first got there it almost looked like a face in the rocks up towards the top of the columns, very cool , missed your big breakfast cook , enjoyed the video !!!

Hi IH, yes , thanks...Yes, good trip and great place to spend the night.

I like your point of view! You're the only backpacker I've ever seen on video say anything positive about bear cannisters! It's quite refreshing to not hear the same old whining. Great scenery and beautiful music!

Loved your video, as always. It amazes me that you can just pull off the highway and pitch a tent for the night.

Wow, that's a pretty cool place you found. Strange how the weather just changed like that! But you stayed dry and warm, which is the real trick, isn't it. Well done, Sir. A most enjoyable watch, Thank You.

Hi Chris I enjoy your videos. I like the variety. Your a great story teller and make the videos fun and interesting. I am 83 so it’s a bit late to go camping. I remember spending one night in the mountains with my Mom It was beautiful but that was the extent of my camping. I always loved the mountains Thanks for sharing your adventures. ⛰ Blessings

Red Rock Canyon State Park just off highway 14 south of Ridgecrest where i grew up in the 60's and 70's. Quite the alien landscape there and a lot of the old original Lost In Space television series was shot there as well as the even more alien looking Trona Pinnacles a little further north just south of Trona. I live in Missouri now and you've brought back a lot of old memories of childhood outings for me. Thanks

Nice to see Red Rock again Chris. I used to go there when i was young. I worked for a family near there who moved to that area from Minnesota. When the tv show Bonanza was filming an episode there, they had trouble getting the horses under control, so they sent word up to the store for Mrs Means to come over to the canyon. She had a reputation as a horse whisperer, so she came and gentled the animals for them.

Look forward to the next one that to you eat I love it and get it from Walmart myself awwsome.

You make great videos.
