We go camping and dirt roading in our first visit to Carrizo Plain National Monument in Central California!

The main points of interest featured in the video are:

* The Soda Lake: https://www.blm.gov/visit/sodalakeo...
* Caliente Mountain Road
* Selby Campground: https://www.blm.gov/visit/selbycampg...
* KCL Campground: https://www.blm.gov/visit/kclcampground
* The 18mile dirt section of Soda Lake road

Interactive maps and GPX downloads may be found here: https://four.wheel.travel/map/carrizo...

We created two accompanying videos of the dirt road sections covered in this video. We didn't 'hyperlapse' them (they are realtime, each one is about 1 hour), but you can playback in 2x on YouTube to see the whole drive more quickly. You may want to mute the audio (truck and road noise), but they do make glorious screensavers! ❤
