Driving the Infamous DEVIL’S HIGHWAY [VIDEO]

In this video I drive an infamous dirt road that traverses extremely rough, rugged, and remote country. Welcome to El Camino del Diablo. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

DATE FILMED: January 2023

Thanks for watching! There are two things I wanted to let you guys know about. First, a tour of my Land Cruiser was just featured on the Cheap RV Living channel here. And second, last year I met up with and filmed a tour with a guy named Jimmy (his video isn’t live yet, but stay tuned). He lives full-time in his Jeep Renegade. A couple weeks back, the driveshaft of his Jeep basically broke in half, and he’s stranded. Cassie and I donated some money to help him get back on his way, and I’m asking you guys to send a few bucks in his direction too. You can do so here.
