[@sherrellbennett1333]

Been going to Vegas since I was 21 (73 now) and finally in June 2019 stopped at Peggy Sue's with my sister. We really enjoyed it, fun and good food. So glad I took it off our bucket list because my sister passed 6 months later.

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

I have been going up and down Hwy 15 to Barstow, CA.... my Dad's family is from there and ALL of those stops I have seen, just to let you know... it looks like he went the 'Back-way' of getting into Barstow. Passing the 'Ol Grande Bridge', just north of Victorville (VV).

[@NumberSpace]

It's refreshing to see a couple take time to slow down the typical fast paced life and spend quality time with each other. Most people these days just rush to get from one place to another.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks, it was a fun road trip!

[@elgringo4918]

Drove from L.A. to Vegas more than a dozen times and I didn't know about half of those stops. Thanks

[@bo-be-qbarbecueausderseest1663]

Me too!!!!!!!!

[@04mikeandevy]

@@bo-be-qbarbecueausderseest1663 Want to take my 15 year old daughter on this drive. Any good ideas to show her on the drive?

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

Me...too!! I had my Dad's family living in Barstow, CA.... we would travel out there from L.A. every-other-month (!!) But I love the desert compared to living in LA. But yeah.... there are some sites there I have not seen before.

[@mdemtiazhossain588]

Where is LA exactly

[@lekawall9403]

I've lived in Vegas for 9 years and driven back and forth to Cali. I didn't know half these places. Thank you for sharing.

[@kenrhino7904]

How to turn a 3 1/2 hour drive into an 8 hour drive! I love it! You are true road warriors!

[@timslater566]

Ken Rhinehart , it’s only 3 1/2 hours from L.A. to Las Vegas? That’s great. Looking at Vegas for retirement.

[@howzit9397]

3.5 hours at 85-90+MPH with one stop only hahaha did it with my truck on a early Sunday morning Vegas to LA head start before the cars come out

[@wanilimbe]

Howzit i live around 7 minutes next to the 15 around rancho Cucamonga takes from 3 hours-3 and 1/2 at night going 90 in the curvy areas and then flooring it hitting like 110 (thats the max for my car) in my honest opinion the drive at midnight is by far the best

[@howzit9397]

Niko Bellic yep it’s doable I did the 15 thru Palmdale then come out near magic mountain to hit the 110 back end simivalley to calabasas area! Always like those long drives coming from Hawaii o only drive in circles

[@alexisascencio9397]

Nothing like a road trip to Vegas ❤️❤️

[@RobC41]

You guys trying to make a grown man cry? My Dad was stationed at George AFB in the mid-70's. That roadtrip takes me back especially around Victorville. I have been back to the area about 7 years ago. I'm guessing I've been to or by half of your 22 stops. Great job and thank you!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! I am glad it brought back good memories and that you have visited so many of the places

[@jessybee1389]

Hey! I'm a high desert person and recognized about half of the stops too.. Time for a road trip!

[@zaporida]

Thank you, thank you for stopping at some of our favourite places and bringing back happy memories of our two road trips along the same route. Barstow was just one of those places we loved, we don’t know why, it just was! Happy days! Brilliant.

[@IamAvidity]

I love how stoked you are about places you've been to before, meteorite museum closed? No problem, heres some footage from the last visit. Thanks for the road stop ideas!

[@normaruiz8870]

Thanks to you guys i did my first road trip. I only missed 2 stops. Loved every stop. Love your channel. Cant wait for my next adventure.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment and glad the road trip was awesome!

[@Airnewzealand15]

Thank you so much for all your tips! Our family from New Zealand came and spent 2 weeks in the USA and used your videos to find stops from LA to Las Vegas, around San Diego and San Francisco and also the PCH. Without your videos we would have missed some really cool stuff. Keep up the great work! We hope to come back again and do more things that we missed!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment, I am so glad the videos were helpful! What were some of your favorite spots??

[@Airnewzealand15]

California Through My Lens ohhhh good question. The bottle tree ranch, the train museum, the bar right next to bubble gum ally with all the amazing craft beer etc, Bonita light house, La Jolla seals (where we got a parking ticket lol)... so many amazing memories. We miss it so much!

[@TheHeaddog]

I love road trips like this. I am bookmarking for my next adventure...Thanks.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment!

[@DanielA-nl9nv]

Cali born, Vegas raised. You guys nailed it !!!

[@juliewilsonriola9471]

hubby and I have been to many of these places...but...as you pointed out...there are MORE to see....I feel a ROAD TRIP coming on..!~!~!..THX for all you do to help us all have FUN...esp in weird 2020........stay safe..!!

[@mariastewart8870]

Been traveling to Vegas every year since I was a 8-month-old baby and I never knew about most of the stops till watching this video.

[@janetmottley973]

Like the angel in the sky on the thermometer scene.

[@JesterDrums1704]

Tks Josh! I think your main objective to encourage people to get out of the main road and made an unbelievable experience caught us. Me and my wife took this trip from Vegas to LA, and I t was awesome, took about 10 hours but it was the best experience in our second honeymoon.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the feedback and I am glad you guys had such a great trip!

[@californialocalsgolf4944]

The drive from LA to Vegas such a classic trip! big props to you for exploring the stops on the way.

[@iyot1020]

thanks for making my hikes a lot of fun by showing us these cool little spots

[@jurnee-y]

I’m actually moving to Vegas this weekend and found it funny I see this video in my recommended

[@francolopez8283]

Babs your phone is listening to you bro

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

You guys did an awesome job with this video. I'm born and raised in California, but now live in Las Vegas. I had an idea some time ago for a video like this, but you definitely came up with more places. Great work!

[@mikeandmars2345]

Wzup Jacob like your videos

[@r.phoenix615]

For some reason this sincere video shared by the 2 people who took it has resulted in many sniveling kind of comments from obviously pained people who don't like their own lives and have to take out time to complain. I will just say thank you I enjoyed every bit of it.

[@asplicerdude]

Cool video. Everyone passes up so much cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment and yes I agree there are a lot of fun things that many people pass up.

[@mrtrixterathotmail]

That is so awesome! I'm going on vacation in one week (from Norway) and we're doing LA to LV! That you have this video up now it's just to perfect to be a fluke. Thank you California Through My Lens and the universe. :-)

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment, so glad that it works so perfectly for what you are doing!

[@tigertiger1405]

California Through My Lens das ist auf englisch : ( kein Übersetzung da , Größe aus Deutschland (Germany )

[@NisseOhlsen]

Tiger Tiger komm schon, Junge.. ‘must halt ein wenig English lernen 👍

[@johneason6540]

Love your videos. I drove route 66 with my family in 1960. We were driving a brand new 2960 chevy impala, red and white. Picked it up in Detroit. That was 60 years ago, but good memories

[@AlizeeDefan]

Thanks so much for this posting ~ I have never been out west, due to many problems, so this brought me a lot closer .. You seem like a nice couple. Good luck in your travels. I remain tied to the boring east coast :(

[@BenDover-vg9ep]

The east coast isn’t “boring”

[@qwert0999]

We're from Brazil and we're driving from Las Vegas to Barstow and this was very useful! Thanks a bunch, dude!

[@donaldschmenk4345]

Driving from los angeles to vegas is amazing, the mojave is the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen, it always takes 18 hours to travel because we get lost and see things, it's best in winter, 2 years ago near the PowerLine road in the middle of nowhere, that was beautiful. The early morning, the light patches of snow, it was so beautiful. I want to live there but it will be too hot in the summer.

[@californiathroughmylens]

I agree, the winter is such a magical time in the California desert

[@egarcia7932]

My family n I did a roadtrip with your video n loved it. I enjoyed this Video n all my family will remember this roadtrip.

[@theandrewsims]

Any reason there was no mention of the abandoned water park? Surprised it wasn't listed since it's one of the most noticeable on the drive.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment! Yea, since it is technically private property I just stayed away from recommending it.

[@donaldschmenk4345]

Ooh yeah that Waterpark! So when you go along that route farther a couple miles, you will see a dirt road, follow it and you will see a fault line and it has lots of expensive rock agites, you should go there

[@robertfanter4815]

Coool water park back in the day👍my mom took me there every summer from LA it seemed it was 1000 miles away.... good times

[@jonathanhansen3709]

California Through My Lens As I remember, I think it was called “Lake Dolores”. My ex-wife heard about it at work when we first moved to Riverside in 1978. We drove out there about three times in the next two years. I heard it closed about 2000 due to insurance/lawsuit problems (lawyers kill everything that’s fun).

[@Kevine7001]

Is the waterpark the same place as the movie theater?

[@chefchefton7117]

2 things that make this guys videos great; Enthusiastic interest in any place or subject & The same enthusiasm for the Snacks & Food along the way 🥞🍔🍟🌮🌭🥙🌯🍕🍝🍦🧁🍿

[@rickuyeda4818]

I've always gone to Vegas in the middle of the night and never saw any of those places. Thanks for the awesome tour. Subscribed.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@jtcowboy5518]

I've lived in Orange County, and now living in Las Vegas, and traverse the I-15 countless times. I've seen the signs and names of all these places but never paid much attention to them. Thanks for sharing a video of what they are!

[@kampanagroup1]

Just did the LA-Vegas journey and stopped by a few of these because of your video---great job!

[@matthewleys6504]

Hello You Two, I've traveled this road twice, having seen this video I realised I should take the road less traveled. This video is one of those little pieces of KZbin magic. Part of the chemistry is the people who made it, another is the soundtrack. I actually quite like the music! Thankyou so much for this video

[@DJJMEDINA]

My hometown Barstow! Don’t forget the drive inn movie theater and eddies world.

[@lawb1614]

Barstow has a great deal of history, which most don't realize. Love driving on Old Hwy 58 past the drive-in during a leisurely drive back to So Cal. Kudos to your home town, DJ J!

[@ShootingDave]

Perfect! My wife and I are making this exact road trip.

[@manwe6829]

This is so beautifully shot

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks!

[@southbechmiamibeach7812]

Ella Moyer you are too beautiful

[@marlenaeva3813]

Really looking forward to doing this road trip one day. Great video !

[@DevonteDunkley]

Go for it enjoy life 🏞🌄

[@terrybrann730]

That was pretty cool. I have made several trips to Las Vegas for work and have been to almost all of these places. Nice video, I enjoyed this.

[@johndebmax]

Great film, were thinking of having a holiday in america and thats just the sort of thing we would love to do. Thanks chaps.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment!

[@johndebmax]

Your welcome.

[@henryreyes3505]

This is so cool! Well planned man I'm about to go out west and begin my trucking career, I'll be on the lookout for these stops!

[@DevonteDunkley]

The west is the best for trucking jobs cause of the sites and money

[@ghostcoffee1099]

Was supposed to visit Vegas this year but... you know. This trip helps me remember how it’ll be though.

[@angelgonzalez14]

We stopped at THE Joshua Tree. A slightly longer road trip, as it isn’t direct and goes through Death Valley, but so fun

[@gregoryschubring4795]

UTI probably

[@bradvanhemelryck2860]

What about the waterfall urinal at the Shell station on Cima Rd?😀

[@californiathroughmylens]

I actually did film stuff there and then totally forgot to put it in the video when I edited it haha

[@Agave310]

Well done video guys! As an LA native, that drive NEVER gets old.

[@hereisayana8207]

I'm from the East coast and drove from Las Vegas to L.A... the ride was sooooo pretty to me... I wouldn't mind doing it every day

[@supremepartydude]

Moved from SoCal 18 years ago and know all of these stops during my 24 years there. This stuff Is the stuff I miss about SoCal. Florida where I live now has similar charm

[@sossoft]

We are doing Route 66 from west after our wedding in Yosemite and we are driving from LA to Las Vegas before renting a rev so thus is perfect!!!

[@unknowndeoxys00]

Goodness. Where I'm from, it takes 9 hours just to get to Vegas. And with my dad being an angry, not-as-adventurous driver whose main goal is simply Vegas... I can say I've bypassed all of these, only with the exception of seeing the exit sign for Zzyzx Road, but never taking it. Had to google it to find out what it was. Thanks for changing my viewpoint on this drive though, I've wondered about life out there and was resigned to thinking it was nothing but desert for 4 hours

[@conyshieg8800]

Lol feel you, my dad is like no stops, unless we need gas 😂

[@kylemontano228]

unknowndeoxys00 that’s why now that I’m 17 I drove so I could stop at alien Fresh Jerky lol

[@wanilimbe]

Yep it’s always just floor the pedal and wait 3 hours before you get food and no gas stations no landmark’s fill up the tank and the best part is the speeding

[@wilfredosantillan6174]

The girl comeback to life after that Beer 😎

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

And that's the way to do a road trip! Great fun :)

[@californiathroughmylens]

I agree, thanks for the comment!

[@gemaalfandra4847]

Info travel thur sheh wooking here grey is restaurant food of light street.

[@DraganDangubic]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover driving anxiety attacks try Tarbetti Car Coping Tutor (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.

[@walkingtours3885]

I just came back from Vegas after making a some walking tour videos from my channel. Nice to finally see what's at the end of that xyz road!

[@paolo7970]

Nice video, as usual...nice music too. Thank you from Cincinnati!

[@balanb312]

Great job. You and Amy make a nice couple. Watched this last night before turning in. Had dentist appointment today. I'll be 73 soon and I liked the background music. I know you have a lot of comments to read, but just wondering who did the music? It was kind of romantic with you and Amy trekking around. I'm determined to watch all your road trips. Puts me in a happy mood. Alan.

[@alexavalos76]

It took me 10+ hours to get to Vegas but it worth it every minute at those stops. Specially Peggy Sue's Diner my kid won't leave... Thanks for sharing

[@bywayofcomanche2576]

I was headed up the 15 from Sacramento and fount your video. Thank you for doing this! I know it’s hard to film and gather all the details of each stop, you guys did did a good job. I’m going to change my plans and stay in the calico ghost town! Thanks!

[@marcd2881]

WoW! Awesome!!! I could probably take two(2) days to make that drive

[@SierrasTravel]

We've always wanted to make this drive. Maybe one day. Thanks for the virtual trip!

[@hansenalmani7032]

Very helpful video 👌👍 right on IV been in Vegas so many times... Not knowing some of these places you guy's showing us..... keep up the good work and travel On..... peace and love to all.

[@VentureAHighway]

3.5 hour without traffic lol. Really enjoyed seeing these cool stop options

[@socalgolf9978]

Lot of cool places I think most people want to get to Vegas as quick as possible

[@nothisispatrick5123]

not really :)

[@m.g.1792]

I like the music haha! Bro you videos are lit

[@tametei3543]

This looks so fun man I wish I lived in Vegas

[@nayarmohit]

The music to video compatibility is by far one of the best ive seen in youtube videos.

[@longlivejahsehd.onfroy2982]

My family been takin the same route for years but never stop to check these places out

[@tlarsen1546]

Just saw this. Lots of good ideas for my pending trip across the nation.

[@virgo714]

I really enjoy ur videos.. it keeps me alive 👏👏👏

[@robbieh1899]

I sooo wanted to visit and spend 6 mths wandering around. My last trip in 1997...not now though... Locked down...maybe when I do get over, $1 situation may have changed a bit..? Thanks for showing me where to go looking!

[@ruready2rock856]

That's rad! Thanks for all the cool info. You guys rock!

[@TheEmployedTraveler]

I live in LA and travel to Vegas a lot, can't wait stop and see some of these places! Thanks for the tips :)

[@oscarsweeney8901]

That was the best virtual trip I have ever been on. Keep it up guys!!!

[@mrv911]

That was good! I’ve been out there many times and never stopped at those places. It will definitely be on my next trip!

[@joyamarasinghe3967]

Great video, I always enjoy your road trips. Please have more!!

[@01moochie]

Great video to watch, even the music was cool. very well done, and planning to go to west this spring thanks for the video.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment, I hope the video encourages you to have a cool adventure.

[@eventtrading]

Cali's the most incredible space on the planet bar none

[@frederickorantes7679]

Dope! A bunch of stuff I didn’t know. Looks like I’ll have a longer drive to Vegas next time I go

[@garyquelch5827]

Thanks bro I’m an Australian and I can’t wait to visit the US and do a road trip from LA to the east coast

[@JohnB00007]

Thanks guys. I have passed some of those places like Calico so many times on the way to Vegas but never knew what was there. Nice video.

[@theone3231]

RIP to Elmer from the bottle tree ranch

[@ChrisMatinet]

What a really great video you two...I've driven through that area many times but never really stopped...I know now how much I've missed

[@mcmiraclevalley]

This was well made and fun to watch and been on this trip many times but never knew all was to be seen. Super nice and music was really nice.

[@canterburybell8435]

Ah gosh that was so exciting thank you. We did the trip ten years ago across the desert from LA. As it was the first trip and first time to America we did not know to do the stop offs. Route 66 has such a ring of intrigue for me. I should love to do what you two have done, so thanks once again for your great video.

[@ichironca]

As for the stop in Baker, the now defunct BunBoy restaurant would be a landmark destination for sure. Always stopped there for lunch on the way up from LA and back from LV.

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Great video. The music didn't bother me. I'm going to check out some of these places this year. There are several where I've seen the signs and thought that I'd stop there someday. Thanks to your video, some day just got a lot closer.

[@yasmineandthealiens.5535]

Wow seven magic mountain looks super cool we are doing the drive from La to las Vegas in October

[@deehermione943]

I live up the Cajon pass right at the half way point between LA and Vegas and I see these places all the time/ weekly, but yall made it look so much more interesting 😂

[@BMkt04]

What a great trip you guys! Informative and great to watch! That Bonnie and Clyde Death Car was interesting! Good luck with your future travels!!!

[@AmitDunsky]

So nicely presented. You guys are lovely! Thanks for some great ideas. We'll check it out this coming November trip to LV

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment, have fun on your November trip!

[@utseay]

You and your sister put together a good vid! Thumbs up.

[@roseability86]

Awesome! So many things I want to see that I would have otherwise missed. Especially the Bonnie and Clyde death car! Thanks :D

[@ManjuSingh-io6ix]

The ideal place to zip down in your sports car !!Nxt on my bucket list 🌹🌹🌹

[@andromeda400]

Great video! Love it!

[@kurtmcq]

Best Video Ever.

[@garyExposMtl]

So that's what traveling was before covid. I wish I had been alive to live these experiences too. Thanks

[@ArtGirlJan]

Excellent! Wish I'd seen it last week when we actually made the trek.

[@MIKESK8DAWG41]

peggy sues is a regular stop for us when we drive from our home now in Idaho back to our old home in Cali

[@frankbartschi]

July 2021 and the Seven Magic Mountains art installation is still there and as popular as ever. Not sure how long they plan on keeping it there.

[@SuperTESW]

We took this trip for spring break 2017. Gonna do it again and stop at your idea se and spots! Thanks! 👊🏿🙌🏿👌🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
