Adelanto, CA High Desert

The first part is in the city of Victorville and the starts the city of Adelanto.

With growth comes new people and many who have never heard about the Roy Rogers Museum. The older community does miss having the museum in town. The best, at this point, for fans of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans is the Route 66 Museum on D street. There's a small exhibit of the Rogers and the museum. Thank you for commenting. And Happy Trails.

Good to hear from someone that was there. As you can see the old base has changed. City of Victorville is working on new construction on the west side of the airfield. Thanks for commenting.

While I am not an expert with the air base, my understanding, based on locals, is that there are still a few area that are need of cleaning up. The few GAFB veterans that I has met talk about the north side of the base. They feel that is the area that hold the most contamination. There was a local newspaper report a few years back that stated that there was to be cleanup of an area south east of the base. It was stated that the cleanup was due to contamination from WW2. I did find this on the EPA website: “In 1991, the Air Force began operating a pump-and-treat (PAT) system with air stripping for groundwater contaminated with TCE under OU-1's northeast base area that migrated off base”. I would have to guess that some areas that have not be restored or developed must be due to contamination issues. Such as the housing area and the golf course. Most of the new development is being done on the west side of the airfield. As for the health of the current employees, I too wonder. For the EPA report, I did a search for George Air Force Base Waste Cleanup. It was at the top of the Google search.

@@roadnland1801 Wow, excellent reply and thorough research. Thanks so much.

It can be with windy on some summer afternoons or in the winter. But for the most part it's really isn't bad.

No customer because the restaurants aren't open when the video was taken at 7am in the morning.

And a funny thing is when I head back home..when I see the San Dimas watertower..I call I call it Maddie after our troublesome Doxie cause by this time in travel...it's a piece of cake to git home !😀

I'm glad that you enjoyed your ride. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

I often make a stop in San Dimas when I traveling to or from Orange County. There's a few Starbucks along the freeway.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Living here in the high desert, I have a love and hate with the Cajon Pass. Sometimes the traffic is so bad yet the mountains makes it better. I plan to do a video on Hesperia soon. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Thank you very much for comment and for watching the video. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and for your comments.

No problem, I understand. The desert isn't for everyone. Feel free to not watch any of my Mojave Desert videos. 😎

Thank you very much for your comment. It means a lot to me.

Sounds like you've had some good memories of Monterey. I'm pretty sure that taking abalone is forbidden now.

I agree with you. Many things have certainly. Currently there is news that a Spouts will be opening soon. Also if you remember Green Tree Blvd, it will soon be a connecting from Victorville to Apple Valley. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video.

Congratulations to your nephew. When you get a chance, take a trip to Barstow. There is actually a good amount of places to see. While it's not anything like LA or Vegas, there is a good amount of history in the area. It's part of Route 66. On the video I drove past the Harvey House, there is a train museum there. There is also a Route 66 Museum there but it might be closed. There is also a Route 66 Museum in Victorville. And don't forget Calico Ghost Town. Thanks for watching and for commenting.

@@roadnland1801 been Calico once, only stop at Barstow to get something at McDonald's that are train I like that about it besides that I've been to Grand Canyon Petrified Forest in other places all over Arizona also New Mexico kind of like the desert anyways thanks for the information take care

And that's why living here is a unique experience. Wide open spaces, beautiful sky, wildlife, and the Joshua Trees makes it worth it.

Moved up here in 21 best move ever!

Never hell no shit look boring af you only rapist and murderers live out there

​@bullishastronaut1120 thinking about moving there. What are pros and cons

The view on the Cajon Pass makes it enjoyable.

Thank you for watching and for your comment. The drive thru the Cajon Pass can be relaxing unless everyone in the world is on it at the same time.

Thank you for watching the video.

Bingo! That’s what I was going for.

Thanks

Thank you. I, myself, really enjoy a drive in the desert. I'm lucky to live here.

Thank you very much.

For me, stoping to eat at restaurants in Victorville is because I living here. For others that are coming from LA, the driving over the Cajon Pass can take some time during busy times. The freeway to Victorville, over the Cajon Pass, can sometimes take a few hours. So many are already hungry. Many others stop in Victorville on their way back to the LA area. Thanks for commenting.

Glad you like it.

@@roadnland1801 your welcome. Good luck to you and safe travels.

I'm hoping to show some more of SoCal. I just need to find the time.

@@roadnland1801 How about the Wildomar or Lake Elsinore area or the Salton Sea,Palm Springs or an indian reservation (????)etc NOT NOW of course but something to look foreward to. We forget many KZbinrs have a personal life & all. Major places would be key because of that...gradually. Of course wait because the less named should be put out there 1st,like Palmdale,29 Palms,Lancaster THEN ALSO areas that leads to famous ones like Morongo on the way to Coachella or Salvation mountain. I have a passion for less known places reason I follow you here.

Yeah, those chippies seem to show up in odd places. Thanks for commenting.

The winter is my favorite time of year to drive around the Southern California mountains. Thank you for viewing the video and for your comment.

I agreed with you. It’s a place that I do like to visit every now and then. On that day I didn’t want to visit but just pass by cause I love driving in the desert. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Nice thing about KZbin videos is that one can jump over the boring parts. Or just don’t watch.

I enjoyed it. Relaxing.
