Round Mountain Road, Tupman Road, Highway 33, 7th Standard Road. California, October / November 2009.
Done with a cheap old 1440i Sony DV prosumer tape unit (and a bit of trespassing) back in the Paleolithic era in the greater Bakersfield (California) area, this is definitely one of my fave videos. People sometimes complain that the soundtrack I cobbled together isn’t sync’d or that it’s monotonous, but hey, that’s kind of the point, right? I’d love to redo both this and Drive-By: Oilfield again with better gear now, but they’re much more savvy about oilfield security nowadays, and I’d never be allowed.
