Bioluminescent Waves Of Southern California!
Переглядів 1628 місяців тому
There is a special type of plankton called "Dinoflagellates" that luminesce when disturbed. Apparently, they do this as a defense mechanism, so as not to be eaten, they glow a eerie blue green. On rare occasions, when there are enough of them in the water, they can cause the waves to luminesce as they crash. For the last week in Southern California at various times, and in various places, there...

Join me on an adventure to the only naturally occurring lake in the San Gabriel Mountains! High in the mountains over Southern California is an area with a history of tourism, prospecting, fishing, hiking, and strange and unusual incomplete highway projects that dead end - in the middle of nowhere. High at the top of this mountain is Crystal Lake, one of the most popular attractions in Southern...
T-128 Air Raid Siren, 4K HDR Stereo
Переглядів 356Рік тому
Air raid sirens are mostly a thing of the past in California. During WWII, fearing an attack from the Japanese, California built a network of air raid sirens protecting coastal cities. When WWII ended, the system found new life in the cold war, and was maintained until ~1990. Most cities abandoned their civil defense sirens, but Huntington Beach still uses them. The sirens act as an early warni...

From 2008 to 2012, philanthropist Dennis Avery, an heir to the Avery Label fortune, commissioned artist Ricardo Breceda to create metal sculptures throughout Galletta Meadows Estate, multiple parcels of land owned by Avery, in Borrego Springs. The works were based on the book "Fossil Treasures Of The Anza Borrego Desert" (2006) which Avery Admired. Breceda created sculptures of mythical creatur...

Come with me as I explore the rusting remains of an interesting piece of cold war history! Before ICBM’s the only way to deliver nuclear weapons to your enemy was to fly them there via bomber. This radar site, and around 15 others, protected Los Angeles with interceptor missiles that were designed to take out the Russian bombers before they reached their target. This was a SAM (surface To Air M...

Join me as I take a trip to Griffith Park to see the Bronson Caves. Originally a rock quarry in the early 20th century, the Bronson Caves found a new use as a movie filming location where literally hundreds of films, TV Series, and music videos were filmed. Perhaps the most iconic of them all was the original Batman series, which featured the entrance of this cave as the bat cave the batmobile ...

Salvation Mountain

Come with me as I visit Salvation Mountain, a crumbling, but beautiful tribute to the lord built by the late Leonard Knight. Mr. Knight created a large hot air balloon balloon over a 15 year period emblazoned with "God Is Love". It was too heavy, and rotted out in a snowstorm in Nebraska. After this failure, undeterred, he came to California, and started his next project, a large mountain. The ...

Art Installations Of The Salton Sea!
Переглядів 1,4 тис.2 роки тому
I visited Bombay Beach at The Salton Sea in 2017, it was a mess. There were many dead fish along what looked like a white sandy beach, that wasn't sand at all, but fish bones. The smell was horrendous, and apart from an environmental disaster that is echoed in almost every article, there was little to see. Now it's completely different. No dead fish, no smell, instead, I found a clean, carefull...

personally prefer the desert without ugly hole and plastic trash. Why didn't they clean up the site?
There is nothing left to clean up. Just a hole, out in the middle of nowhere.

one hundred years from Now, people will be doing this same thing, looking at a forgotten , abondoned place where everyone either died or just left. It will also take place in California, only it will have names like Los angeles, san fransico, and sacramento...
My brother two sons went there once, to see what was there, and I never heard back from them...

Ive driven by this road about a million times and now I regret not going up it like I wanted
Thats not '"safe"
It is original the rooms are very old fashioned, I stayed there and took over 300 pictures in the middle of the night and didn't see anything. The opera house is beautiful inside the true story of how Marta ended up there is great.
Before she passed a guy and girl pretending to care about her and the hotel scammed her, took money from her. She was in room 1 until she passed. So sad

Pretty cool 😎
I've had this generator for years when I purchased it at Costco. It was a wonderful savior for tailgating. I used mine when we had a rolling blackout a few years and was able to run my fridge, tv, router and a few lights and had no issues at all. I will say this is a wonderful buy.
So Damn Cool!!!

Would be amazing if they restored it! Such a beautiful area up there! Glad you’re doing better and thank you for the video

An outdoor pool needs daily maintenance to keep it clean.....
I had to quit this video; the music sucked! Interesting place but where is the so-called Faculty and is this a school? Or is it just a way of holding the property?
STOP FEEDING THE DUCKS BREAD ITS SO UNHELATHY FOR THEM
Thank you for your information on how you fill your fountain with water. I was astonished to see the reservoir sucked dry the first time I filled it up!
Is this machine still running?
Like the hockey mask in the thumbnail, definitely have to explore this place someday
It actually isn't THAT Crystal Lake. THAT one is a fictitious place somewhere on the east coast. Or is it?
Hello @SurrealAdventure it says July 1959 before the Disneyland section, how do know this date? The Las Vegas section seems to be a little later. Tropicana 2:18 says "Folies Bergere" which opened Dec. 1959.
@@VintageLasVegas you could be right. I tried to look up the date based on acts playing. Both the Disneyland and Vegas. Trip were filmed around the same Time.
I made a note in the comments section of the video, that this was likely closer to December 1959. I trust that your an authority on Vegas!
Its looks like A Mafia grave where someone was possibly going to die.
Well, if you go out to this somewhat remote place in the middle of summer, the intense heat can make it yours. I got freaked out when I went, my 4x4 started to sink in the sand.
Its where motorhomes arw put to Collecting the insurance. Owners need a place to dump the say they were stolen collecting insurance.
Update the SD10 at 3:55 is now removed
@@Andresplaz8804 it was pulled out like a week after I made the video. :(
@@SurrealAdventure rip :(
I always wondered what was down that road. Thanks.
Your welcome. Please give the video a like and subscribe for more offbeat stuff!
I lived on a mineral spring area in Reno. The hot water would heat up our rooms. Every room had pipes going through them filled with the hot mineral water. Oh, it was so good for our hair and skin too! We cleaned the walls and tubs with bleach water. It's the only thing that works. As with every hot springs, you have to drain and clean the pools OFTEN
There is a funny story here, Curtis Springer, the original proprietor of this place, billed his baths as "Hot Springs" when in fact, he had a bank of hot water heaters near the bath house. The water was from a spring though. People thought they were at a actual hot spring.
Can you please when you have a moment share the website of where you get how many filters in it what price because I have 4 cats and a 7 lb dog so I will be going through a lot of filters I was given this used and I cleaned it out really really well even using a little bit of bleach, but all the bleach off is all gone there was a lot a lot a lot of algae so I had no choice because you never know if that stuff was mildew or algae. It was black so now it’s safe and I bought a new pump so I need some new filters.
These are the ones I use: a.co/d/0hphVQ79
I can’t figure out how to turn the light off but once it starts since I just set it up today and I can’t thank you enough for this video. It’s super Duper. I’ll have to figure it out when I get to it. This thing is amazing. It was given to me as a gift and I did bleach it out and then I soaked it for water and days and days and days, but a little bleach doesn’t hurt anything.
There should be a switch on the cord that controls the light only.
Wish I knew the website you order your filters from, I have 4 cats and a 7 lb dog
what about safe version 64010?
Sorry, I don't know the new stuff. This is an old video about an old safe.
Thanks for highlighting this awesome place! If you get the itch to hike more volcanoes, Mt. Lassen in Northern California is amazing, as are Mt. St. Helens and the many volcanoes in the Cascade Range.
At the end of 8th grade I ran away from home and stay at Crystal Lake for two + months camping and hiding out from the Rangers (for not paying camp fees). LIVE at the amphitheater starring "SMOKEYYYYYYYY the Bear" July 4th weekend 1970!!!! It was amazing time to an 8th grader. I had two friends who were older and 1 of which drove, so they would hang out on weekends bringing up food. When we all were together we stayed in an Oasis tent by Coleman in the campground. The rest of the time I would just sleep under the stars hiding. I'll never forget that model tent, as it was made with a "NEW" material and was 8 x 10 and boy it was the best (at the time). Fishing was okay most of the time, hot during the afternoons unless it rained. I saw a couple of black bears and a cougar... the cougar scared the crap out of the three of us. As I recall, higher up the mountain was a Boy Scout camp called Deer Flats... at least that how I remember it and it was there where I had establish my base camp and we saw the cougar!!! YIKES!!! Because it was an "Organized Camp," unless a group was there, the place was empty and AWESOME. The road going up was gated closed unless the place was being used. The Rangers only went up to help the organized groups. Wow... Life was simpler, your mind wasn't bombarded with nonsense and BS.... your imagination was your biggest toy box, and each day seemed Tom Sawyer lazy. Oh to be a kid again BACK THEN!!!
Memories we all dream of😊
Thanks for sharing. Glad they found you! 😄
That is a crazy story. Real life Tom Sawyer stuff. I would have been way too chicken to camp out up there alone with bears in the wilderness! Thanks for sharing the story!
A well done demo!
What's scary is that a computer close to this vintage was being used for air traffic control operations well into the 90s. I still remember what the reporter said ,"Just take a look at this computer. It has less memory than a laptop! In fact it is so old they can't purchase spare parts for it." HOPEFULLY, *this* is no longer the case but how much of our critical infrastructure is being held together with decades old computer equipment that it's near impossible to find documentation for, let alone spare parts or people who really know the system? :-(
When the Crowdstrike update blue screened all the windows machines, Southwest Airlines was immune. They were still running windows 3.11 and some windows 98 machines.
It has a strong new smell and the water has the same smell and tastes like chemicals.
Back in the late 80's I did some field studies there on the Chub fish and geologic formations...Hasn't changed much since then other than the buildings look redone...Was a great place to meditate too
Did you know that Curtis Springer saved those Chubbs from extinction? He dug out that big lake and then put them in it, then their original spring dried up. That fish had probably been there for at least 150,000 years and in the last few seconds of its existence along comes someone that moves them to a new home…
Thanks for this video. I've passed this road tons of times, never knowing it went anywhere. Maybe one day I'll get to drive down it & explore a bit. Just to say I did. I understand classes might be in session, so yes, I'll absolutely be respectful. I love this video! Thanks again! 💞
Glad you enjoyed. Getting to be an old video now, but I’m sure the place hasn’t changed much. Thanks for watching! Please give it a like, and subscribe for more offbeat stuff!
I did give it a like & subscribed. Thanks again!
Very cool. I enjoyed it. Also glad to see you’re doing well. That place looks amazing 🤩. I will someday visit there too. I’m curious how’s the weather there in the summer
Super... que de bons souvenirs des années 1990 à 2001 🇺🇸🌵👽
