Your Cinematography and editing skills are showing Mike. I just loved the drone video above you guys campsite....being airborne with a camera opens so many possibilities of perspectives....Keep up the great work! and say hi to Jon Snow.
Will do @NorthStar96 ! Thanks! The next thing is probably a steadycam for selfies and ground shots. The drone will make its way into our normal kit, and become a part of our shooting. Right now its about learning to use the thing!

And chaining it to your truck when not flying it.

So my buddy Nick caught the bug on this trip. About an hour after we got home he was emailing me craigslist adds to find a truck. Happy to say he picked up a super clean 1st gen Pathfinder. He wasted no time getting it out on the trail. A week after picking her up he came out for our Knoxville trip and her maiden voyage with the OB crew was a great success! Hes lurking on here now but im sure he'll be a supporter soon enough.

Nothing warms my heart more! This is exactly why we do it! That is a mighty clean looking Pathfinder! I've always been a fan, and for some reason, have always thought those wheels are awesome! Welcome to the crew Nick!

Sorry about the bump from the dead, but I'm planning on making a last minute trip to here this week and came across the OB video on youtube. Does anyone know what the coordinates are for the campsite you guys were at?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know the coordinates but it's pretty hard to miss as it's right off Whitney portal road I believe

darn.. I know where movie road is, but where you guys camped looked SWEET! Wanted to go take photos there..

By the way, is there pretty good wheeling inside Alabama Hills? I went with my impreza, but stayed mostly on the main road. Now i'll be doing it in a 4th gen 4runner. :) I don't feel comfortable enough to go to cerro gordo yet, or reward mines.

It's right here.

Definitely your rig will get you there. Cerro Gordo is not difficult if you go up Cerro Gordo road. Worth the trip.
