Just stayed over the weekend, mid-November. Ice cold on the lake at night, 2” of snow…but absolutely serene. So cool being all alone in the middle of the great Sierras.

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Oh man sorry I thought I replied to all the comments! Yeah there is definitely a payoff for making that trip! It must have been really great - and quiet. - with it snowing!

[@Raidan_Overland]

Subscribed! I see you do KZbin too 🤘🏽. I have to go back and find that waterfall

[@dustyroaddestinations]

You should! It's a beautiful area back there and a drive up 395 is ALWAYS a good drive!!!

[@jeffcarnegie6967]

Keep it low-key man!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Always! Low key is the best!!! 👍🏻😀🏕️

[@tmcmsail1]

Got the notice and jumped over. Beautiful hills in the background

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks so much Tim I really appreciate you always being on the lookout for a new video! Especially since I'm a week late! Hope you enjoy this one! 😀

[@tmcmsail1]

Glad to see you having fun. Great video. Hope it makes enough for the tire and wheel…

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Unfortunately this channel hasn’t reached the monetized level yet so nothing to be made here. Luckily 4wp replaced the tire and I had purchased a spare rim off of eBay so the really banged up one is off the truck. I did buckle the front driver side fender so that’s a bummer.

[@itumblers]

Always love these videos. Thank you!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks so much for watching @itumblers!

[@aparnapolisetty9571]

Duane happy for you . Thank you for sharing your adventures , place seems very serene .

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks so much for watching! It was, once I finally got there! That trail up was a little intense for me though!

[@filsed]

Great scenery Duane.

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks so much! It was really beautiful up there!

[@socal_adventure_man]

Have you tried Mohogany smoked meats in bishop? Good sandwiches and smoked meats.

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Oh man that sounds REALLY good. I’ll have to stop there then next time I come through!!! Thanks for the recommendation and for checking out the video!

[@jeffmuth6504]

Ohh Yeah!!!! They have some great stuff. I picked up some smoked bacon and we mad BLT sandwiches with it, mmm!!

[@cindyc]

Definitely an adventure. 🤗🛻🏞🏕🪵🌄⚙️

[@dustyroaddestinations]

It really was! Hope you’re feeling better Cindy!

[@cindyc]

@@dustyroaddestinations thank you. Getting there. 😉

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Glad to hear!

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Hey your sidewall didn’t look too bad from this video! I miss this place now after watching your video and want to go back

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Yeah it wasn’t too bad. If you peel back the flap you can see the inner tire which made me nervous. I hear you the move I’m away from that trip the better the memory!!! Lol

[@cathleen_s]

Gorgeous!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

It was pretty nice up there.

[@jmathre44]

Hey man, I've recently watched a couple of your videos, and subscribed. Your truck is nice, I like the Canyons. I bought a lightly used Frontier last Feb, and I'm starting to build it out a bit. Looking forward to more of your content!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks so much jmathre I really appreciate the support! Sounds like you’re going to have fun with that Frontier! Those are good trucks!

[@camerasandcoffee3466]

Great video Duane!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks for watch Mike! Hopefully one of these days I can bring you with me!

[@jeremiahmcguinn5911]

Been many years since I’ve camped at Funnel Lake. Long slow drive. I went by myself too and felt the same way. Great video and adventure bro!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks for checking out the video Jeremiah! Yeah, that drive in was not what I was expecting. Hope you had a great time once you got up there - it really is a beautiful area.

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Now I've found you! Just got back from my trip - it was another good one - albeit a cold couple of days!

[@jeremiahmcguinn5911]

I knew it was gonna be cold. Glad you had a good trip!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Diesel heater worked very well - but I'm thinking a heated blanket might be the way to go - that's what my buddy was using and he said it was pretty nice.

[@venturahondo8218]

Great vid like always I’ll be up there tomorrow 😊

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Outstanding! I hope you have a great time. Just don't be a knucklehead like me (going alone) and take a spotter with you! I'd love to hear your thoughts of that trail once you get back Ventura Hondo!

[@archstanton3636]

Made this trip a few years ago before I had even made the first payment on my new full size. Left with some damaged skid-plates and some good pin-striping. It's beautiful up there, but if the altitude doesn't get ya, the rock garden will.

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Yeah that rock garden wasn't a lot of fun. There was one guy up there when I was there and he said he high centered on the rocks and some jeep guys were able to get him unstuck. I was kind of worried about the altitude but I guys it doesn't bother me as much as I would have expected. 10k is pretty high though.

[@tylerdurden7965]

Look at you, already getting KZbin famous lol How was that Morning Glory Oatmeal? you should start doing some detailed reviews of all these freeze dried meals you been trying out haha, id be interested to hear which ones are good and how they look when its all cooked 😁

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Yeah that was pretty crazy and unexpected! On the oatmeal, yeah that was pretty bad and I didn't finish it. I suppose I should have captured that "review" but I was just really done and tired at that point.

[@tylerdurden7965]

@@dustyroaddestinations sounds like you were pretty bummed out about your tire, i dont blame you!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Yeah it was a little unnerving. When I got home I also realized I had damage to the driver side front fender panel. And various scratches all over. Not super bad but just reinforce the “I was wouldn’t have done it” thought

[@IdeologieUK]

Man! That opening shot! That and some others in this video you should sell as stock!

[@dustyroaddestinations]

Thanks Richard! Hmm, I should look into that! Hope you're doing good Richard!

[@emmanuellnescau]

so they reopen the trail, because was closed when i went there around 3 months ago

[@dustyroaddestinations]

I went through on the 8th of October. Didn’t realize it had been closed.

[@SOWEGO]

Looked like an awesome trip! Was this recent?

[@dustyroaddestinations]

It was October 8th so earlier this month. Thanks for checking it out!

Sounds like an outstanding trip!!! I always like it when no one else is around!!!
