Took that road up to
Kernville and back through Kern Canyon and tested the recording setup:
Sadly about a half hour on Granite Road this happened:
So the GoPro has a smudge of a fly in the shot for half the ride up. The footage is still good enough to share though, so I don't mind too much.
However, the brewery was amazing. Spent a couple of hours there sampling everything and brought some goodies back with me:
The drive back wasn't as fun due to all the camper vans and double cab trucks on the narrow canyon roads, but there were no bugs and everyone used the turnouts to let me pass which was great.
All in all, a pretty great day.
