[@thatportlandguy8593]

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...im glad I was able to drone this area, the view from up top is pretty sweet.

[@MPTrailGroup]

Awesome video as always bro. Them drone footage are 🔥 🔥

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...perfect weather that day for the drone.

[@davidleanos8978]

Very nice drone footage and area 🔥🔥🤙🏻

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks for all the encouraging comment bro...sorry we couldn't get to do trails together lately. Soon

[@xchocolatepagerx]

Amazing drone footages! Definitely looking forward for our next adventure

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks for coming man...definitely have to hit some more together. Your rig is too capable for just trona haha

[@JoshuaHahn]

Great vid! Been wanting to get back out to the pinnacles now that the weather is cooling down!

[@Michael_Tran]

I saw it months ago but weather was so windy...glad the weather was perfect this time around. I wanted to camp there next time...sunset must've been awesome.

[@alexisgrajeda8794]

Your videos make me want to take my grand cherokee out on a trail with you man 🔥👍

[@Michael_Tran]

You should bro...these trails I've done are relatively easy.

[@GreatAussieDrives]

Awesome vid mate! Great offroad adventure, the scenery reminded me a bit of the Aussie outback. You gotta come down to Australia some time, we've got loads of quality 4WD tracks here for you to explore 😀

[@Michael_Tran]

Thank you...I would love to get a chance to do some wheeling in the outback.

[@EVsNipe]

Great video bro! Hopefully someday you take a trip to NC or a surrounding state and do an offroad meet and greet and i get to go 😎 Btw you can try lubricating your leaf pack with and that should help with the squeakynes

[@tskroyal9198]

I have the same issue, where do you lubricate the leafs at?

[@Michael_Tran]

I didn't know you can do that...I gotta look into it. Thanks for watching man. Would love to explore NC area one day.

[@EVsNipe]

@@tskroyal9198 silicone based lubricant in spray just spray them back in the day people use to use grease in between leafs but the construction of leafs supposedly has evolved and they have an anti friction coat that should prevent squeaking but people that offroad tend to actually use the leaf springs thats why we hear the sqeakinh

[@EVsNipe]

@@tskroyal9198 just do the bushings and manor points of contact between leafs

[@lavshleo]

more drone shots! 👌🏻🔥

[@Michael_Tran]

Ill try my best to get more cool shots like these haha

~ I haven't posted a comment here before, so this is the first. . . ~ I appreciate the - "inspiration" - to get the ideas to travel on trails such as this 👍 ~ being in a ♿ has its issues, but doesn't prevent me from traveling the same type of roads here in West Texas (however) not many people care to come with me (pretty sure it has to do with my circumstances). . . ~ as I do have to be aware of certain things (considering), so I do things differently and it takes slightly longer as well. . . ~ my next obvious question is, what type of Drone are you using and how many have you used prior before settling on a good one for these trips? ~ awesome vids (and) thanks for the continued - "inspiration" - ,🎉✊

[@Michael_Tran]

Thank you, I hope that you can see this place eventhough your limited in your travel. I have the mavic air 2 and been flying drones for almost 3 years now. Took me a good 6 months to learn how to fly it properly.

[@fobmsg]

Michael, I just checked the starting coordinate should be 35.51041, -117.58538, your coordinate is in the military base lol

[@Michael_Tran]

Omg...I look at it again and realize I must've paste the wrong one. Good looking out bro. Ill see about correcting it.

[@broletsdiginasmr5366]

The dirt road to Trona is along the train tracks right?

[@avkyjonka6539]

I love your vids bro!! Superb! A quick question - can you just camp anywhere by those pinnacles or are there designated areas? I’m from Canada and planning a trip there soon, so I’m not really sure about the rules. I’ve got a roof top tent, so where around there would you recommend camping? Thanks man, and keep up the amazing work. Love your content!

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks for the support bro. So from the BLM website..that area technically you can camp anywhere along the trail. But they recommend camping on a area that's already somewhat established...like theres sign someone have camp there before. Honestly, when you get there, you will see tons of spot. I wouldn't worried too much about places to camp here, it's a big place.

[@avkyjonka6539]

@@Michael_Tran Thanks for the info brother! I can’t wait to get down there!! Please keep those adventures of yours coming, and let me know if you guys ever plan on doing some overlanding in British Columbia:-) Happy trails! Andrew

[@Michael_Tran]

@@avkyjonka6539 Thanks man...BC sounds like a blast. You'll love it at this place, such a unique area.

[@josephoutdoors]

Would you say it’s too hot to drive in and camp during the summer?

[@Michael_Tran]

I think so...but not bad at night

[@MR-zn4rj]

You think my 3rd gen 2.7 2WD Tacoma will make it?

[@Michael_Tran]

I think so, not too complicated

[@o0oitzJimmy]

You think a fully stock family car (rav4) can make it alone? Camping available around there?

[@Michael_Tran]

I think so...a few rocky area but I think it's fine. The main pinnacles area is relatively easy. I've seen rav4 out there before.

[@pnshmnt68]

You're in Kern County a lot lol

[@Michael_Tran]

I love that area haha

[@pnshmnt68]

@@Michael_Tran I'm in Bakersfield and need to get my rig on some trails. I've been out to trona in my old lowered truck..... It was a fun slamming frame 😂

[@Michael_Tran]

@@pnshmnt68 Haha..I bet. I can see lower vehicles having an issue here but it's all about having a good time you know.

[@AdventureSquadOverland]

I had no idea I could drive off the main trail, is this correct?

[@Michael_Tran]

Once you get to the pinnacle areas you will see a lot of offshoots

[@Sobaire]

Awesome video! Did you have to get permission to fly your drone. I've read it is a No Fly Zone. I am worried about the FAA seeing and fining me after watching a video. It's been happening lately.

[@Michael_Tran]

Not that I know of...it's all public land. From what I see there's no restrictions that im aware of in this area.

[@Sobaire]

@@Michael_Tran Excellent! I am planning to go and stay overnight. I also want to explore the abandoned parts of the town.

[@Michael_Tran]

@@Sobaire There's some cool area to see out there.

[@fishtacoma]

Whoo, first! 😎
