Epic Adventure on the Mojave Road | East to West

- čas přidán 29. 08. 2024
- We spent three days #overlanding on the historic #MojaveRoad with two Tacomas and Two Jeep Wrangler TJs. The Mojave Road is a historical route, roughly 150 miles long, that traverses the desert between the Colorado River and the Mojave River in Southern California. The road was used by indigenous people to transport goods from the southwest to trade with costal tribes. The route later assisted American settlers on their journey westward. On this trip we referenced the #MojaveRoadGuide by Dennis Casebier. This guide provided mile-by-mile descriptions of the road and is an excellent planning resource for your own Mojave Road Adventure.

Like how when you're with a group you pull out the maps in your planning group sessions. The penny can tree is cool. Makes you wonder who started that. 10 hours of driving is quite a long day. Hanging out by the fire with a hot meal is a great way to spend the evening. Leave no trace is what we wish everyone practiced. It sounded more like a war strategy meeting. Ribeyes! Nice. Looks like another amazing trip.
We enjoy learning on these trips from our fellow travelers. There were some added quirks along the trail that made it fun. The best part was the history. Thank you friends for watching and leaving us comment.
Looks super adventurous and fun! and more fun with friends! Superb!
Such a fun adventure!! This is one trip that should be done with friends. We all had a great time.

Great adventure - thanks for sharing - and so much history. :-)
So glad you enjoyed it. It was super cool tracking along such a historical trail.
That’s a dope real desert for a 4x4 experience….
Would love to do that in the US ❤️
Yes it was. It was so cool to journey down a historic route used first by indigenous tribes then by the early settlers heading out west.
Awesome adventure. Nicely done!👍
Thank you! 👍 You are both having some amazing trips. Be safe.
I’m happy I came across your channel. I love supporting fellow creators. The truck is nice. I’m subscribed.

Gosh... Take me back already. Definitely my favorite trail. Can't wait to go back. Good work on the edits you speed machine!
We can’t wait to do it again also! So glad you all had fun. Loved all the photos you posted. It was a full day of work editing, had to get it done before going back to the nine to five ☺️
You guys make outstanding content! 🤘🏼
Thank you so much, we are growing with each adventure! So thankful for your support and having you on our adventures.
I can't even imagine being an early settler and walking that road. I'm too weak lol
Right! People were resilient and brave. Let along being juggled around in a wagon on those washboard roads.
We need positive energy in everything in life, at home, at school, at work, and everywhere. Positive energy spreads happiness, makes our duties less hard, and helps us achieve more. In the face of life challenges and hardships, we need positive energy to keep going, and we need people with positive energy to help those around them stand on their feet and overcome their difficulties. Thanks for sharing👍 You got a new subscriber🥰
💯, let’s spread more of that positivity so that it catches fire! Thank you for your support.
Very nice enjoyed watching stay connected friend.
Thank you for watching and coming along for the adventure!
Looks like a fun place to 4x4 it. Oh cool fort ruins. Ok the penny can thing is pretty cool. First I've heard of that. Awesome place to set up camp! Spam!! We had spam in one of our recent vids. It's a great food for camping!! We definitely need to get some real maps before we go overlanding. Loving the rock house!! Neat guest book thing. It's really cool that you have these neat little stops on your trip. Pretty view from that camp! The mine is pretty neat, but thinking I'd pass on going in. Those kind of scare me. Never heard of the traveling monument either. A little muddin' by the bridge. Fun!! There's so much cool stuff in this video!!
It was quite an adventure packed three days! We packed in a-lot of driving miles but had some great stops along the way for exploring! Can’t go wrong with Spam when camping! Thank you friends for watching and your continued support!
Wonderful video great work
Appreciate the positive feedback, thank you.
Another awesome video….hope u saved the route so maybe one day we can also explore
Oh for sure, we loved this trip and will be back. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! My to do list for 2021. I'll probably take a small group with me lol. Took down some notes while watching this video! Hope to meet you guys soon.
It is a great trail and one to do with a group. We hope to see you at a future event and adventure!
Great video! I wanted to do a Mojave Train trip this November, but it's probably going to have to wait until next year.
Highly recommend this trip. It is one of our top five. So much great history along this trail.
Kids..... more dialogue please. Back there you stopped at a place that had some buildings and a mine. What is/was that?? Looked like someone lived there.. yes?? I like your background music. Nice touch. Thanks for sharing..... Ax
Hello and thank you for coming along our trip on the Mojave Road. Yes, there are several abandoned mines and some cabins maintained by volunteers as adopt-cabin, which are functional and people actually camp at. Some are the Aiken Cinder Mine, Paymaster Mine, and Oro Fino, which were gold mines dating to 1900 or so.
Awesome! Looks like an area we'll be seeing soon too 😀 - I really like the ruins and mines. And the sun in the desert - man ... Every time I see SoCal I think of Queens of the Stone Age lol
We love exploring the desert in the winter. There is so much to see out there. Looking forward to Death Valley 🏜 next!
@@OpenRoad4Two Oh man, is that the next long weekend you're doing, or will we see you? :)
@@MagellanandGreyhound it will be in December 😉
Nice video ım support you form Türkey❤️
Thank you for the support!
Good videography AND editing. Beautiful country..Would be nice to include an animated map showing the trail..
Thank you so much. There was so much footage to go through. It sure is a beautiful place with an amazing landscape. Thank you for suggesting the map, great idea 👍🏼
great video guys! I Love this trail...done it many times..gotta love the desert in the winter..so beautiful
Thank you so much! It was our first time and we look forward to doing it again.
Looks like you guys took a detour to the new york mountains to camp
Beautiful area! Great campsites!
This looks like such a great trip! I'm a huge western fan, so every time you explore places like this I can't help but see scenes from the old shows & movies 😁. Thx for sharing the journey!! ✌️
We love history and it was so neat traveling the same route that the early settlers and indigenous people traveled. Thanks for coming along.
Wow! Epic adventure Plus history, totally our cup of tea! So fun to do the trek with a group too. This makes us miss the desert! Love all of the stops along the way. Thanks so much for taking us along! Safe travels-Scott and Tammy
The history combined with the trail made this trip so epic! This is one trail that you want to compete with at least two rigs for safety. Thanks for coming along for the adventure friends!
I love it when traveling and history coincide. Beautiful footage of a beautiful place. Stay safe out there, friends. 💕
Absolutely!!! You gain a real respect and appreciation for the experience.
What a fun adventure! I love all the history you discovered and fun traditions for other fellow travelers!
So true, we both really enjoyed the history along the trail. Made the stops we made come to life!
I love desert landscapes, they are so different to my area and it is wonderful to see different places. Without a doubt the mine and the historical past of the area is a bonus 👍
You hit the nail on the head, the historical past made this trip so much more lively and exciting. We are so lucky that our friends had such knowledge to share with us. Thanks for watching and coming along for the ride.
Wow these roads are legendary, to travel these roads that indigenous people used to travel is amazing. Doing all of those miles it's very tiring. The desert can be beautiful and harsh at the same time.
It left us in awe at how the people were able to survive and cross that many miles. The desert is beautiful but also harsh.
👏👏🔔🔔🤝🤝🤝💖💖
This was so cool! Loved seeing the different vehicles exploring the desert. So thrilled that you got to do this with new friends
Thank you!!! These people made this such an awesome experience. Looking forward to traveling with them again. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment, we appreciate it.
Wow that is really incredible place, the memorial part is really interesting, thanks for sharing your tour guys we enjoyed it and the scenery, have fun and stay safe 🔥🔥💯🤗
Thank you for joining us on the trail and leaving us a comment.
hey, what happens when that can is full for real? lol What an awesome trip you had here.... very cool stuff... I love how you guys show the planning of the routes, also... gotta love a paper map, eh? :)
I believe the park ranges come out and empty it, but not 💯 sure. This was a great trip and having a map gives you better spatial awareness. Thanks for watching friends.
@@OpenRoad4Two I was wondering if the bears emptied it and had a movie night. lol. Very cool trip for real guys. That looks like a lot of fun
Congratulations Guys! This was and outstanding video. I love the scenery and all the history you brought out. Thank You for making great videos like this!
Appreciate that so much Steve! The trail offered so much different terrain and it was amazing to roll through history.
You go travel adventure desert aride plance
We love adventuring on the desert. It is a harsh landscape that is so beautiful.
Looks like another awesome trip! Was it cold at NY Mountains?
We wish you could have made this one. It was a great trip. The weather was perfect, not too chilly at all.
@@OpenRoad4Two Nice! looks amazing! :) I got swamped with crazy turnaround deadlines that need to complete by this week. I would have been over stressed. So glad it was a great trip.
That was an amazing trip. Definitely makes it better when you have a caravan of cool people. Loved all the stops , but that abandoned mine was really neat, glad to see Millian got her 1st water crossing ! Keep up the amazing work !
This is one trip that is pretty remote and good to take as a group. We all had a blast and she was pretty excited to do that water crossing! Thanks so much for watching.
Do you know the history of the penny can? how did that tradition start? Another great adventure btw, I would never be able to make it out there in my minivan.
Not sure when it exactly started, but it is mile marker tradition to leave your own penny with a wish for good luck!
Thanks for the video, enjoyed it. Question...did you have to use the gas in the Rotopaxs or did you make it on a tank of gas?
We made it ok in our Tacoma. The Jeeps utilized ⛽️ in their Rotopaxs.
Thanks for taking us along😇 any spots on the way where 4x4 is absolutely necessary?
There are some steep climbs with ruts and rocks and a sandy area that require 4WD.
Argh I only have a single-legger
Thank You for the tip😇
You guys didn't do spooky canyon!
Gives us a reason to go back and explore the Canyon!
@@OpenRoad4Two in afton canyon, there is an area where you can park and hike in where the canyon turns very narrow and essentially pitch black into a cave and has rock climbing sections to go out the other side. Then when you back to Afton Canyon to explore that, also make time to check out the Mojave Mega horn which is outside the canyon by maybe 40 mins.
@@steelontarget thank you for the tips!!! Time to plan a return trip when it gets cooler!
@@OpenRoad4Two maybe I'll see you out there someday. I am going to getting a SP for my Ram as well.
@@steelontarget that will be awesome!
Native indians used the trails first
