I got together with a bunch of guys a couple of weeks ago to do some filming of the Superbloom at the Carrizo Plain National Monument. And by "guys" I mean professional FPV drone pilots. This is a combination of two of my favorite hobbies. FPV and overlanding. Out of the 8 of us though, I'm the only one that camped on the Carrizo Plain. I'm mostly a visual story-teller so this thread is mostly a picture and video dump. Apologies if that's not your thing.
The area around Soda Lake proper, Soda Lake Road, and around the Visitors Center was simply clogged with tourists. As beautiful as it was, we eschewed that area in favor for some more remote terrain around the southwest edge of the plains on the Caliente range.
An introductory video:
From above my campsite:
Panorama of camp:
Definitely on the Top 5 of my coolest camp sites ever.
Nothing to see here. Just a bunch of nerds in their FPV goggles.
The overland pooch and truck.
Sunset got a lot more spectacular than this but I forgot to take pictures.
