VW BUS Vintage Overland Adventure 70mph Wind Gust Calico Mountains Mule Canyon Kramer Arch Trails

Calico Mountains - Mule Canyon - Kramer Arch
Crazy Fun, I heard that there was a "90mph Wind Gust Warning" on the radio for the High Desert out in the vicinity of Barstow California. So that sounded like a great adventure to me. I thought 90 mph is crazy, so off I went. The dirt starts at Calico Road and Mule Canyon Road (CM7630). I travel through some beautifully painted desert walls, and I wound up on West Phillips Drive ( Trial) to Kramers Arch. There was a nice little cove East of Kramer to hide in. Had to get out of the harsh wind for the night. Once I woke in the morning I knew the wind was here for the day. It blew hard all night long 50/70 mph gusts. After Coffee, I start my track out of the canyon, encountering some obstacles on the way. Kickback and Enjoy this one Folks!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thank You!

[@oscar_dubs]

always a great time. thank you for making my work day a lot easier. Have a great adventure.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

🙂 Thanks Brother!

[@goseeinsuranceoptions6980]

WOW,,, Awesome ! Taking that classic Bug Van offroad!!! I’m going out there in a month, thanks for the trail guide! Cheers

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@sergiovasquez9323]

✌🏾now that was a cool shot😂 with amazing views

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Glad you like it Sergio! 🏜️

[@kingofpentacles3213]

That slope had me biting my nails!! 😬 The desert looks so pretty with all the green growth. I haven't seen it like that in a long time. We did a family camping trip around 1976 at Calico. It was so windy!! Out of everything I remember from that trip, the wind is top on the list. Another great one, Mr. Reno! 😁✌

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Right?! freckin crazy. The Bus can make it down anything... Once 😬

[@OldVolksTV]

Hell yeah man. That's the good stuff!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

That was nasty, 😯

[@barryandbonnievandergreft2265]

Where can one go to get away from a lunatic world for a few minutes on a weekly basis? Uhmm....? OH ! I Know! Vintage Overland Adventures!!! Of course! Larry, great video, love the shots you do. That desert country is spectacular. Who says you can't have fun with 36 hp?! Have a good night, amigo.

[@kingofpentacles3213]

I think it's a 1776 in his bus now, but I get the sentiment! All my friends thought I was silly for running 6v, 36hp's in my bugs. My '59 S. African RHD would do about 60 mph floored. lol But it ran like a top and never broke down.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Right! Happy both of you are enjoying this craziness. 😬 It's running a 1600. and needs a 1776, As my brother Kevin stated.

[@kingofpentacles3213]

@@VintageOverlandAdventures Oh, I thought you'd already put the 1776 in. Maybe you'd just mentioned it in a previous vid.

[@rationalguy2744]

It looks like Morocco. Nice. Wow, that was some pickle you were in. Great driving!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thank you, Scary on that Cliff! 😬

[@jimihendrix1575]

When l lived out in Joshua Tree, we called those 'dust-devils'. I miss the desert so much.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Hey! That’s what I call them too. I was redoing the twister movie. 😅 I do accidentally call the ground a floor, 8pm 8am. To many concussions in my youth. Some episodes are real bad compared to others. 🤪

[@jimihendrix1575]

@@VintageOverlandAdventures All your episodes are GREAT! I subscribe, and look forward to every new adventure. I go for long rides as often as l can in my '61 double-door. Be safe, Larry!

[@yoshinoyajones8924]

Mama just asked why we don't take the big man (70 adventure wagon) on adventures. " Waitin for the Kadrons says I". Always dig ur vids. Cant wait to see some a those spots in real time. Asta.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

I here you, It's always something.

[@luke2836]

Bravo! Another masterpiece Larry, everything about this video!!! Yet another place I need to get out to soon on the dirt bike, I’ll be sure to bring a trash bag. Hard to believe people are trashing this place, it looks as remote and exotic as @itchyboots video today where she is out it the middle of Mauritania. (So stoked we have equally cool looking places to explore close to home, thanks for sharing your adventures!!!)

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks to the three of you! It's all about the views! Just got back from a tour in Anza Borrego. 94 degrees, I was like a lizard, rotating my hands and feet on everything I was touching...

[@marla.the.v35]

WHAT SCENERY! Great Vid, Larry! Can't wait to catch up on more!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks man! I’m out it the middle of the Mojave Desert right now with 3 bar (Verizon). Weird 🏜️

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Broke my gearbox, 😬 wait for the tow.

[@marla.the.v35]

@@VintageOverlandAdventures Oh no!!!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Fun!

[@bernie5206]

New to your channel just subed, great content enjoy watching , i have a t3 westy and was in Barstow that windy monday,,,,,was crazy

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Welcome aboard Bernie! That was the worst wind I ever had driven in. Leaving, The Headwind on a level road and I almost had to drop it into second gear. 😮 I’m sure your T3 managed it well. 🤙

[@chrissyklein2758]

With all your videos and adventures , you capture the beauty of the desert 🏜 ! Nice job as always...😊

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thank you very much Chrissy! 😊

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

Hi Larry!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Hey Patrick! What did you think about the cliff I drove down, well slid down. 😊

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

​@@VintageOverlandAdventures you take that old bus everywhere! wonder if there is a way to make a tilt-o-meter to get a sense of the incline on video? Thanks Larry!

[@inspired_adventures]

What a great a video and an awesome job wheeling the vintage van. What kind of mic setup do you use to be able to record from the van and talk while you went to set up the camera for the steep decent? Thanks and again great job.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks! I use a Rode Wireless GO II.
