well alrighty good morning guys before we leave the great state of Arizona for a
while I stopped back in here in my favorite little dump station here in
Yuma then go ahead and top off the water don't need to dump the tanks but like to
have fifty eight gallons before we get too far into California also get gas
because I think gas prices are gonna jump 50 to 70 cents a gallon in
California so alright goodbye Arizona you are a beautiful spot and I'm glad I
got to see a lot of a lot of really neat good stuff happened in Arizona and
there's many more memories to make in other states as well so let's go for a
ride today guys Jax how excited are you for new adventures
cat excited okay
okay man here we go and see this blue sign coming up here on the right
welcome to California entering Pacific time
all right
California may not be one of the best states to move dog in because the big
cities but you know I'm gonna find Harvey friendly response it's just in my
nature we'll figure it out guys Jax we hit an
inspection station here hide the catnip hide the catnip Jax
I've got apples from Arizona Walmart Oh yep get it
so apparently apples from Arizona are okay but I don't know what they're I
don't know what they don't want flashbacks of route 66 rode here kind of
frontage road and what the heck do we have here this is the city of Felicia
felicity listen center of the world felicity
California I see all sorts of Flags Mexico Arizona Canada what do we have
here this is interesting so I love stopping at stuff that most people would
just buy pass on the highway and never look over did anybody even know that
felicity California is dubbed the official centre of the world I guess
yeah just kind of randomly out here in the middle of the Sonora Desert
so to mark it from the aerial I can't fly my drone here it says it's
restricted but there's a shot of what it looks like here and they do have a
museum look at the spiral staircase to nowhere there is a plaque I'll read it
to you right there it says escalier de origen Tour Eiffel
1889 well sitting down trying to get my bearings straight I'm not really sure
where the entrance is oh is it that way no you know what this is guys this is a
sundial this is a working this is a very unique one though I think that's
supposed to be a replica bust of Michelangelo's finger pointing from the
painting interesting so this has something to do with the French I don't
want to sit in they've got like an hour-long DVD you can watch but anyway
this is a tribute to like the French Legion stuff and that staircase that I
showed you that that is actually from the Eiffel Tower that's part of the
original staircase at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower brought over here to this
continent right here in the center of the world so so there's a lot of granite
put out here in the middle of the desert their pyramid an extra $5 to go inside
okay Wow Wow that's neat Oh somebody already paid and
left the door open so we can peek in for free cool
so all these banks the pyramids represent something else like this is
just the history of California and the history of Arizona on each side that one
across the way is for the Korean War so there's some older stuff here too
history of the United States of America 1776 now we're talking so these are all
laser engraved I guess they would have to be to withstand the heavy wind and
sand and the Sonora Desert is considered the one of the hottest places in the
country here it gets brutally brutally hot in this area of the desert
hey it's a Liberty Bell they're like what a smaller version replica of it at
least cool
but we'll head up to the church real quick the history of humanity
I guess that's still a work in progress oh so hot out here in the desert
Oh sometimes people watch some of my older videos like when I'm out in places
like these in the winter but they don't realize it they don't look at the date
they're like how could you be out there how could you leave Jack's in the RV
because it's 67 degrees out here in the winter oh yeah
you wouldn't find me in a place like this in the summer that's for sure
here's the church the church on the hill at felicity well I do like the blue
doors the maze of honor so it is a maze but I'm too short to see over I'm gonna
hold the camera over and see if you guys can see anything I don't know what it
symbolizes or anything but yeah wow this is a maze in well while more laser
inscribed dedications and stuff oh look here's the pet wall some kitty cats and
snakes and dogs
I'm really lost ah okay I made it alright let's get back
on the road I got an email from Walmart and Brawley my package is ready for
pickup there
we are literally on a highway built right over the Sonoran Desert that is
interesting I don't know if you can see that the
dust that we have blowing the sand over the highway
it's pretty neat well we're getting off the interstate
here I know Asha pendemonium was here a few weeks ago the Imperial sans dune
Recreation Area popular spot for ATVs he'll go right up in here but you need a
permit of some kind and to use it and camp overnight
so I pulled off here in a nice little shady spot you know non-fee area a free
area of the dunes this is a historical site that I'm at here we'll go walk over
here I know this is hard to see but if you want to pause it there on the plaque
and read it it says plank road 1914 to 1927 this is a replica here that you can
stand to walk but if we look up here there's part of the original remaining
we'll go get a little closer here I read a little bit of the board back there and
it says that this plank was built out here in the desert in the early 1900s to
lure people from Los Angeles to San Diego as a nicer Road than the desert ok
really windy out here guys but but there you go
so planks and steel almost like railroad ties all the way up hmm so this is going
to be my my pitstop guys my spot I'm here at the Walmart in Brawley
California and it may be some time before I see another Walley world here
so got a stock up because I need TP for my bunghole
and groceries and another little tip here like I said I'm picking up my anti
wobbler I could not find that device at Tractor Supply in fact they have no idea
what I'm talking about at Tractor Supply when I say an anti wobbler for the hitch
no idea not even in their catalog but I did a search on Walmart just out of the
blue and had like 9 results and two of the nine anti wobblers are eligible for
free store delivery so I use the Walmart pickup services a lot on the road
especially if I know where I'm gonna be in the next four to six days that's what
I did and so I go in show my ID they scan the
barcode on my phone that says order pickup since I already pay with my debit
card it's just an quick in-and-out to pick it up and so I'll go do that and do
my shopping and then once I get parked for the night at the campground I'll
install that and show you the difference okay interesting a lot has happened this
afternoon that I was not planning on but everything is awesome right now
because I was waiting for Angela we were gonna go to the campground together from
here and so I just decided you know what the heck I'm gonna take all the bill of
sale and the title and odometer and everything over to the DMV here in
Brawley California and just see what happens and I gotta be honest with you
guys it was easy it was so much better than
Washington you have no idea how lucky you are and I know people complain from
California about the DMV's ridiculous rules and stuff but come on the only way
this would have got done for me in Washington state because the odometer
read it they don't accept what what Californians do for the odometer
verification you can't print the form and they won't mail you the form you
have to go to an office and get it printed on their special boid proof
paper then you got to fly back to California with a notary sit down with
the previous owner sign it get it notarized and then hand-deliver that
back to Washington State that's the only way I can get it titled and registered
in Washington State so now I'm good through July that it's already in my
name it already has California plates so I don't have to get new plates it's
already past emissions last year so I have now till July to put it to put it
in Washington state plates so they're mailing the title back to Washington
State we'll be there in three weeks I just need to take the title in and to
get motorcycle plates are there but that was just so darn easy I'm so glad I
stopped in so a little little later than I planned though now it's four o'clock
and Angela doesn't want to go to the campground I'm gonna go see her anyway
and we'll we'll plan we'll go from here because I really dodged a bullet with
getting it transferred in my name in California instead of Washington whoo
geez could today be any better of a day I am they just in a fantastic mood I
called up Geico and switched the policy over to the new bike and the premium
didn't change didn't even change which kind of surprises me it's the same exact
annual premium so and there was one concern because now Geico is worried
that my bike is is double insured which you can't do with them but I was trying
to explain it in a way because the RV full timers insurance that I
it covers anything on the RV so if I were towing a car it wouldn't count but
because it's up on the hitch I have an extra $3,000 replacement insurance
policy on the RV which includes the bike itself that doesn't work on the road
obviously but if somebody ran into me when I was parked or if a tree fell or
something like that so anyway it's all good I already printed off my ID cards
with my printer on board 100% good to go so and there's the anti wobbler in this
box here I'll just show you what's going on I think I already showed this stand
back here see this see all that play that's not this that's just the wiggle
room between where the hitch goes into the receiver that's how you're getting
all of this wobble so that's why you need one of these and they're hard to
find but like I said they are available at Walmart and if you're carrying
anything on the back of your RV or truck or something you might want one after
you see how well this works so I'll put a link below in the video description
for this Walmart version which they ship to your house or site to store all
righty got her all installed there it is preventing wobble that's what it's doing
so they can put my foot on it still show you guys so it's moving a lot less
there's still some shake but it's in the hitch as strongly as it can get and I'm
happy with it what more can you ask for one of the thing I want to talk about is
the lights not blocked right not blocked over here
you know what partially blocked by the tire so I mean a license plate no matter
what is not going to be blocked but see how get farther back here so I got a
plan to fix that too what I'm gonna do is get some exterior lights the ones
that hook you into the connections down here and then I'll mount them here on
the corners of this next to the tire right here the ones with the signal turn
signals and the brake lights and the running lights and all that
just to make sure so I'm gonna start looking at Amazon tonight for those
because I didn't realize that the tire technically is kind of blocking some of
the visuals of this until then I will do all of my turn signals out the window
and brake lighting out the window just to make sure because California is weird
and they might be kind of picky about that so anyway guys have a good night
Jax and I are gonna be back on the road with some new adventures here to come in
a couple days have a good night okay
