Vampires & Thieves in Slab City!!

[@writertaylorleecooper9357]

That is the most irritating music I've ever heard. Everything else is awesome though, except the stolen solar panel.

[@bills.7175]

I love Bex's music!

[@BexCatherder]

Thanks! Music is a hard one. ;-)

[@vanmamawannabe6360]

Taylor's Coop I would have used the word "intense." Same idea. Either way, I had to stop watching at about minute three even though I liked Bex very much. The music was just too crushing.

[@samanthaq2773]

I managed to tough it out even though I agree that music really hurt my head. Did they get any resolution to the stolen panels? It is so sad someone's panels got stolen! :(

[@warriorfortruth2838]

ya that music was rough on the ears lol had to sound the sound down

[@josephcrowley7635]

Yeeeaahh solar panels you do not wanna leave out. That is a hot item in the slabs.

[@dlmac5935]

You're a very kind soul Bex. The world needs more like you.

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you very much! :-)

[@micheleerwin2848]

I live in San Diego, near borrego springs. I've been to slab city. It's an interesting place. For those who don't know, slab city is in the middle of the desert, and it can get to 120 degrees there. There is no water, no trash, no power. There are a few amenities not too far out of town. Be aware of the people who are hiding from the government. They don't believe our laws apply to them. There are some nuts living there, but there are also some really cool people there. Lots of neat art work, and just very interesting to see.

[@cmhighway6215]

Bex, oh wow girl LOVE,LOVE your Triumph shirt. I'm a Triumph rider.

[@dominickbundy6429]

OMG! I couldn't even imagine myself scaling and walking along that ledge as you did. (one time maybe) the way my gait and balance is. forget it.. But it is so nice you are still blessed to do such things. Happy you got your refrig up and running and that back ground music really fits the mood and theme of thins, you always make the right choices.. Looking forward to the next adventure..till then stay safe and drive carefully....

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! Vampire Wayne was a really great guy/vampire. :-D

[@punKRaWKgrL333]

Did she or he say that it was free or are you just assuming? I'm sure she is grateful that she found someone, anyone that could fix it period (I'm pretty sure that is what she said). I don't remember the topic of money being discussed, but I was taught that it is rude to discuss money, more or less.. is definitely much classier to be discrete about such things!

[@karenhirschkorn2360]

Impressive footwork navigating the tank perimeter.

[@BexCatherder]

Thanks! :-)

[@leechurchill1965]

That mural and graffiti art is fantastic. The desolate background really makes it stand out. I think the mural at 10:23 is all the same woman. It tells some kind of tale. And the paint running down the sand could be tears.

[@dlmac5935]

I am with you Bex! There are far more brutal crimes in the world than theft, but I absolutely can't stand thieves! In my opinion, they are cowards skulking in the shadows...the lowest of the low! Hope they're caught and while it's unlikely, I hope they're severely and I mean severely dealt with!

[@Mikemeds420]

[@davidbender6793]

cool video. the music is actually the thing that kept me from clicking on another video. thought it captured the feeling well of what u portrayed in this video. liking how u were walking on the edge at the end. "I have to be careful cuz I don't want to fall in". then u kept on walking lol.

[@brodylechman1195]

When I'm moving I should turn the propane off right??.... "Meh... That's optional" lmao.. Good ole vampire Wayne

[@patsycav]

So odd, that so many hate the music. I was enjoying my upper body workout while sitting here watching this very brave, athletic lady walk around the top of the tank without falling in. I like the music. It's great for working out. It's not too fast and has a nice even rhythm.

[@bingsballyhoo711]

For safety's sake I would turn off the propane while travelling.

[@michaellawson6298]

Not really necessary. Propane is very safe. However, of course it's a little more safe to shut off the propane when moving, but the risk is minimal to none if you don't. If the weather is really hot, I have a lot of food that needs to stay cool, and a long drive ahead, I will leave it on, since my fridge sucks on coach battery power.
