Thank you so much! We hope to do more videos about Wrightwood and surrounding areas this summer, including highlights of the San Andreas Fault and Pacific Crest Trail. Thanks for commenting!
Great job showing off our little town. You and Jason do work well together.
Thanks so much for your comments! A video on the San Andreas Fault is next on my list for Wrightwood. I will take viewers on a video tour of some of the fault highlights in this area.
Sweet! That was a fantastic, fast-paced video! I have been to Wrightwood twice, and can attest that it is a gorgeous place. If you do another one in this area, think about all the people who might want to see the San Andreas Fault. Most people don’t know it passes right through Wrightwood!
I love all of the videos that you and Jason have put together!
Awesome and you do so much for our community!
